First Watch

I've eaten here often, almost weekly for 1.5 years now and I feel safe enough here.

Is it perfectly safe for celiacs? No, because they do have bread around and crumbs get into things sometimes.

However, I feel safe enough given that they do make an effort, and are aware of gluten, and have nutrition guides, and procedures.... and I feel some items are safer than others. For example omelets I think are pretty safe.

Very limited gf menu and the risk for c.c is very high. They have gf bread but it toasted in a toaster with all bread products.

Went in for brunch hostess said they have very little gf. I said an omelette? She said no so we left.

Celiac friendly?

No

I’ve eaten here a lot for breakfast, and I substitute the toast for fruit, no problems. They pride themselves on the menu for preparing things “off the line” if you notify them of food allergies. Last time, however, I was served my GF omelette with huge pieces of bread laying on top of it. I repeated to the server that I had celiac disease also known as an ALLERGY and that I couldn’t eat what was given to me, I then watched them go back to the kitchen and re-plate the omelette. I had to explain that I would be very sick if I ate that because it had touched bread. They remade it and comped my meal. Pretty unnerving, but perhaps it was just the Altamonte location. I’ll have to be careful now.

Really delicious! Lots of options! Be specific about their potato prep.

Decent brunch food. Whenever I mention gluten free they know what I'm talking about and seem to be careful. I feel a bit rushed though, they usually give us the check before we're halfway done with the food.

I found that First Watch was very accommodating. They had a GF toast option and were able to make my order without cheese. The quinoa bowl was very filling and delicious.
