Nutritionists have long considered breakfast the most important meal of the day, primarily for its uncanny ability to combine maple syrup, cured meats, and sweatpants in every feast. Embrace judgment-free comfort food with today’s Groupon: for $6, you get $12 worth of fresh breakfast, brunch, and lunch cuisine at First Watch. This Groupon expires on July 14, 2011.

First Watch offers a welcome combination of customer service and freshly prepared café-style eats. While enjoying a personal pot of fresh-brewed coffee, morning feasters salivate over a vast menu of breakfast entrees. Sample the traditional breakfast combo with two eggs, a choice of meat, an english muffin, and potatoes ($6.79) or test out telepathic prowess and order up a plate of vanilla-cinnamon french toast ($5.69). Healthy options, such as the fresh-fruit crêpe topped with low-fat organic yogurt, quell bellies prepping for a casual run ($6.89), and loyal lunch-fare fanatics can dine on myriad salads and sandwiches, such as the chicken-salad melt served open-face with a sprinkling of chestnuts, apples, raisins, and melted cheese on multigrain bread ($7.39).

As part of the First Watch declaration of eaters’ independence, all entrees are available at any hour, and egg whites or cholesterol-free eggs can be substituted at no extra charge. Further promoting its focus on healthy living, First Watch offers an online menu that serves up detailed nutritional facts for each item and subliminally motivates viewers to drop and give ‘em 20 bicycle kicks.
