A downtown Tampa mainstay of nearly two decades is making its return later this year.

The Tampa Bay Business Journal says that First Watch’s newest breakfast restaurant will open at 400 N Tampa St. out of the current Nature’s Table location, just around the corner from its OG downtown restaurant that closed in late 2022.

The upcoming First Watch is slated to debut this fall.

Downtown Tampa’s former First Watch was demolished alongside Moxie’s Cafe, Bamboozle and the Dohring building in early 2023. The property’s new owners, Kolter Urban, paid a collective $11.64 million for the various parcels and is in the process of constructing the One Tampa condo building along the 500 block of N Tampa Street.

First Watch is known for its health-oriented plates, which range from traditional omelets, a variety of Benedicts, pancakes and its prized “million dollar bacon” to lunch options like club sandwiches and chopped salads. Brunch cocktails, coffee and freshly-squeezed juices are on the menu, too.

The Bradenton-based franchise operates more than 500 locations throughout the Southeast and Midwest, including roughly 30 restaurants in the greater Tampa Bay area alone.

A new First Watch location in Lakewood Ranch is also on its way.
