Not very many options, and the staff is really unsure. Dairy free alternatives aren’t available either.

Not celiac friendly. Some ingredients/items are gluten free, but everything is cooked in a shared space and fryers/pans.
Left without eating, very disappointed in the lack of knowledge in staff- including a manager, waiter, and the kitchen staff. Their allergen menu is extensive, but I still got conflicting answers on what was and wasn’t safe for me to eat. I left due to the uncertainty of all of this- fearing I would get sick. Sad because it all looked delicious. They definitely need some education and to make sure they are delivering safe food.
good food and the waitress was very aware of the gf options. they now have gf bread but not a separate toaster. it's a great place to grab brunch.
Yes
I love this restaurant. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is they are limited on gluten free options. You can still get some great items- like egg dishes, omelets, potatoes and fruit. They just started carrying gluten free bread this week, so I think they may be trying to become more gluten friendly.
There’s an allergen menu that you have to scan on your phone. They have a dedicated GF space in the back (including a toaster). There’s a reasonable amount of stuff to order as long as you get the GF toast. I didn’t experience in cross contamination and the staff seems knowledgeable.

Several decent selections for breakfast/lunch and good safety measures. GF bread/toast available for breakfast or sandwiches, and they said can do gf French toast with it (which we haven’t tried). I asked about butter and they said gf toast always comes no-butter, which made me happy for kitchen safety. Eggs and bacon were good, and lots of gf omelet options. Grain bowls also gf using quinoa.

To start off, I have been to First Watch many times with and without my family (who eat gluten-free), and every single time the staff has been accommodating and very friendly.
They have plenty of gluten-free breakfast options with foods that are inherently gluten-free (eggs, bacon, fruit, etc.). You can substitute any bread on the menu for gluten-free bread, including the french toast! They always ask if you have a gluten allergy to make sure the kitchen accommodates you.

I am bummed. Food was delicious but my stomach is paying bad. I told the server I was extremely allergic to gluten and she seemed understanding. I shouldn't have came here. ☹ it's things like this that make me never feel safe eating out. I know there is a warning with it being a chain but at other locations I haven't had a problem.
