THE WOODLANDS, TEXAS / ACCESS Newswire / February 9, 2026 / First Watch, the leading Daytime Dining restaurant serving breakfast, brunch and lunch, announced today it has opened a new location in The Woodlands, Texas. The new restaurant located at 26435 Kuykendahl Road, #900 at Creekside Park, brings a chef-inspired menu and rotating seasonal offerings to a 4,472-square-foot space that seats 164 people, provides outside dining for 50 under a covered patio and serves signature housemade fresh juices at an indoor brunch bar. The restaurant will employ approximately 50 people.

To celebrate the opening of the new Creekside Park location, customers who dine in-restaurant during its first five days in business will receive free coffee with their meal. In addition, the first 120 customers to visit the new restaurant will also receive a custom, reusable travel mug.

"Opening in Creekside Park is especially meaningful to us," said Dan Anfinson, COO of Mac Haik First Watch LLC. "This is a community I am proud to call home, and we're excited to bring a welcoming place where neighbors can gather over fresh, thoughtfully prepared daytime meals. We look forward to becoming part of the daily rhythm of Creekside Park and serving families and friends for years to come."

First Watch's curated menu takes an elevated approach to traditional breakfast, brunch and lunch, featuring made-to-order dishes prepared using farm-fresh ingredients. The menu includes crave-able items such as Avocado Toast, Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes. The new restaurant offers healthy, flavorful favorites like house-made granola and pico de gallo, organic greens, house-roasted vegetables, cage-free eggs and 100% fresh-squeezed orange juice, as well as more indulgent, classic offerings.

First Watch Creekside Park will also offer options from the restaurant's fresh juice bar - including the best-selling Morning Meditation (made with orange, lemon, turmeric, organic ginger, agave nectar and beet) - juiced in-house daily using only the highest quality fruits and vegetables. The new restaurant features First Watch's brunch cocktail program, which allows guests to enjoy signature creations like Cinnamon Toast Cereal Milk (coconut rum, cold brew coffee, coconut milk and agave nectar).

Five times a year, First Watch offers a revolving seasonal menu that follows the sun to source the highest quality ingredients, wherever and whenever they are in season. This ever-evolving menu has featured Crab Avocado Toast, Pumpkin Pancake Breakfast, Elote Mexican Street Corn Hash and Watermelon Wake-Up fresh juice, among many others.

A grab-and-go retail area will showcase Sweet Street's line of GMO-free, additive-free desserts for purchase and the concept's socially responsible and award-winning Project Sunrise coffee, grown by independent groups of women farmers in South America, called the Mujeres en Café. Communal tables as well as patio and bar seating make First Watch a great place for guests to work remotely in an approachable atmosphere.

First Watch serves its entire menu seven days a week from 7 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. for pickup, delivery and dine-in service. The restaurant also offers customers complimentary newspapers and free Wi-Fi Internet access.
