First Watch Vegan FAQ
Is First Watch Toast Vegan?
Yes. Just make sure to order the toast without butter. Opt for almond butter or jam instead.
Is the Veggie Burger at First Watch Vegan?
Yes, with a few modifications. The First Watch veggie burger is a seasoned all-natural patty of brown rice, Peppadew peppers, onions, carrots and mushrooms. Served with fresh smashed avocado, organic mixed greens, tomato, red onion and a side of Dijonnaise.
Order the sandwich with NO butter or dijonnaise and NOT on the brioche bun. Ask if they can serve it on the Whole Grain Toast with NO butter. Per First Watch, you can ask your server for further assistance in making sure it is vegan.
