First Watch

First Watch anchors the Holly Springs Towne Center with a bright daytime dining room and patio that open daily from 7 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Guests join the online waitlist before arriving or settle in as the team keeps breakfast, brunch, and lunch moving smoothly throughout the morning.

The kitchen leans into signature plates like the Tri-fecta with cage-free eggs and Belgian waffle, the A.M. Superfoods Bowl layered with chia pudding and berries, and rotating seasonal features alongside Lemon Ricotta Pancakes or the Traditional classic. Fresh-squeezed juices from the in-house juice bar and Project Sunrise coffee roasted for the brand fuel leisurely catch-ups or quick bites to-go, and the team happily packs takeout orders for families heading to nearby Ting Park.

Health-minded diners find plenty of organic, gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan selections, and this Triangle favorite earned Cary Magazine’s 2019 Maggy Award for Best Specialty Diet thanks to those thoughtful options. With its friendly servers, no-alcohol policy, and commitment to morning hospitality, First Watch in Holly Springs delivers an easygoing spot for neighbors to gather over daytime comfort food.
