First Watch Seasonal Menu 2026
With Prices and Calories

The seasonal menu at First Watch features a rotating selection of limited-time dishes. Unlike the regular menu, these dishes are available only for a short time before new ones take their place. First Watch updates the seasonal menu about four to five times a year, typically at the start of each season. Some dishes return after strong customer demand, while others are offered just once. This guide covers seasonal menu availability and their nutrition facts. For the full First Watch menu with prices across every category, see our complete guide.

About the numbers: First Watch has not published Traitors-specific prices or nutrition (checked October 13, 2026), so estimates come from the equivalent regular menu items. Prices vary by location and run higher on delivery apps. The November 23 end date is per First Watch’s statement to Parade.
