First Watch is an award-winning breakfast, brunch and lunch spot, serving a chef-driven menu of elevated classics and seasonal specialties, always made to order using the freshest ingredients. We greet the sunrise by slicing and juicing fresh fruits and vegetables, whipping French toast batter from scratch and brewing pots of our single-origin Project Sunrise coffee. Freshness is never comprised, which is why we welcome each season into our menu with ingredients and flavors inspired by the position of the sun. All year long, you can enjoy craveable favorites like Avocado Toast for breakfast, Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict for brunch and Lemon Ricotta Pancakes for lunch. Whether you start at the crack of dawn or not, we'll leave that up to you!

Bottega offers an eclectic menu of Italian-inspired dishes in a very stylish setting. The building resembles a Roman civic structure, with faux archways and a decorative concrete facade. The decor is Art Deco in style, and the furnishings are elegant and tasteful. The menu features a wide array of appetizers and entrees that change daily. Though many of the dishes are Italian-inspired, they also make good use of local ingredients. The dessert menu and the wine lists are extensive to suit all palates.
Edgar's Bakery and Cafe has been Birmingham's premier bakery since 1998, founded by Terry and Dottie Smith right here in Alabama. We're best known for our signature Strawberry Cake — a Southern classic with fresh strawberry cream cheese frosting that has been named Alabama's best by Birmingham Magazine, Alabama Magazine, and Taste of the South. We bake custom cakes for weddings, birthdays, graduations, and every celebration in between, with flavors including Red Velvet, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Orange Dreamsicle, and Caramel. Beyond cakes, we serve a full gourmet breakfast and lunch menu — fresh quiche, cinnamon rolls, petit fours, the Sonoma Chicken Salad sandwich, and our beloved Milky Way latte. Catering trays available for corporate events and group orders. • Strawberry Cake • Custom Cakes • Wedding Cakes • Birthday Cakes • Red Velvet Cake • Caramel Cake • Chocolate Peanut Butter Cake • Orange Dreamsicle Cake • Cupcakes • Cinnamon Rolls • Fresh Pastries • Quiche • Gourmet Breakfast • Lunch • Scratch-Made Sandwiches • Petit Fours • Milky Way Latte • Catering • Breakfast Sandwiches • Chicken Salad Sandwich • House-Baked Breads • Coffee • Brunch
European-style crusty breads, crème-filled or plain croissants, tartlets and other tasty Continental treats tempt from glass cases. The small shop and outside walk are filled with eclectic furniture. You can sip strong coffee, teas or juices while watching passersby along the main route through the English Village district of upscale Mountain Brook. Light sandwiches and salads are also available. Continental Bakery is a popular Sunday morning destination, but commuters also stack their pricey autos along the street on weekdays, dashing in for a morning bite. The same proprietors operate the French restaurant Chez Lulu next door.
