I may have found my new favorite breakfast restaurant. A First Watch opened up near me and my wife and I finally found the time to go try them out and I am so glad we did!
The omelets were amazing, the bacon was crisp and, most importantly, the coffee was incredible. In fact we even got a little to go bag of the coffee grounds so I could enjoy another pot at home.
As with most breakfast restaurants, eating keto is pretty easy. Avoid the potatoes and bread and eat all the eggs, meat, and cheese you want.
They have a The Works omelet that is amazing and getting that with a side of bacon made my whole morning.

Unfortunately they don’t do a great job of breaking down what is in their sauces and dressings so you will need to use your best judgment or just avoid those altogether.

Check the nutrition info on the First Watch website for “The Works” omelet. 77 carbs in one omelet! Definitely not Keto.
Thanks, I’ll take a look but I think that’s for the sides like hashbrowns and bread as well.
I agree. There’s no way it could come from the ingredients listed under The Works.
Nutritional page for the works allows you to pull the potatoes, toast, preserves and salad and it’s only 8 carbs. That’s is a really awesome calculator on their website.
If you look on their website and click on the item “the works”, there is an option to exclude ingredients…if you exclude the whole grain toast and the dressing on the greens, the works has 23 carbs but I don’t see the fiber count for net carbs.
