Waitress didn’t really understand GF. Toast is made on the same toaster as regular bread. Didn’t feel safe
They offer GF toast but toast it in the same toaster as regular bread. No GF pancakes. Wife ordered salad to be GF - brought salad with a big piece of bread on top. Inordeee sandwich on sourdough but it came on a hamburger bun - not accommodating server
Updating my previous review: the restaurant has changed markedly since we first started coming here & our fellow diners were very unhappy with their experience today - long wait times despite many empty tables seemingly available, extra charges for maple syrup etc. I didn’t have confidence they could be gluten free any more so didn’t eat at the restaurant, but I think we would be reluctant to take visitors there again.

This is a frequent venue for us and we enjoy the lakeside tables when it is not too hot. You need to be very specific with your order, eg: "No English muffin, but I would like the breakfast potatoes" and that seems to work just fine. It would be helpful to have a gluten-free menu rather than a list of what to avoid. However, I have never been glutened here and we always enjoy our visits.

I eat here often and have never been glutened 😊 Staff is knowledgeable and careful and of course I make it well known that I have celiac disease.
Love this place. Gluten free options include toast and power bowls. Toast is not made in a dedicated toaster.
I had a good experience. The toast was subbed for GF toast and it was not bad. Of course smaller than the regular toast but still got the job done. We ate at the bar for faster service. Had the kid size bacon and egg meal that came with 2 pieces of toast and a cup of fruit. It was noted as an allergy. I did not have a reaction
Went to First Watch. They opened this new location just a week prior to my experience. I opted for the quinoa power bowl. It had mushrooms, sausage and two eggs on top. It was labeled Gluten Free on the menu. Upon its arrival it also had an allergy toothpick attached.
I asked about the gluten free toast. They told me it’s toasted in the toasters with wheat breads.
Overall was great. Will return.
The waitress and server were knowledgeable and my food was served separately and carefully.
