I give First Watch one star because they advertise to have gluten free options but when I actually went to lunch today, it was very difficult to figure out what is gluten free. It’s not easily listed on the menu. The waitress wasn’t giving me many options. I ended up getting a sandwich with gluten free toast and it was really bad. They barely put anything on the sandwich. It was mostly just bread. I ended up going somewhere else and getting more food because I was still hungry! I think there’s a lot better options around other than first watch. I won’t be returning.

My favorite breakfast restaurant! The omelets were amazing, I was assured they would take precautions with cross contamination. The drinks are good too. I also had the French toast and that was delicious as well.

They do not have a separate GF menu, but they do have a comprehensive allergen list for their menu that you can request. For breakfast, my daughter had eggs, fruit, orange juice, and Udi’s bread.

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.
