A celebrated brunch restaurant is opening a new location in Lakewood Ranch — and it has more in the works for Manatee County as well.

First Watch plans to welcome patrons to its eatery at the intersection of State Road 70 East and Lorraine Road in east Manatee County Monday, May 6.

To usher in the opening in Lakewood Ranch, First Watch is offering a free cup of Project Sunrise coffee to each patron with a meal from May 6-10. Project Sunrise coffee is sourced by women coffee farmers in South America. Other fan favorites on the menu include lemon ricotta pancakes, avocado toast and million-dollar bacon, according to a statement from First Watch, which serves breakfast and lunch. In addition to brunch food, the restaurant offers juices and cocktails from a bar.
