I found just a few options for GF. I ended up with a bowl & it was ok. The toast was gf & ok. I had high expectations for this restaurant. The decor is great, the service good but the food was only ok.

The First Watch choices for a gluten free meal are very limited unless you want a salad. The staff aren't especially tuned in to allergies and, other than gluten-free bread/toast, they are uninformed. Hollandaise sauce? Shared grill top? Tried them twice, once should have been enough. Eat somewhere else.
— No gluten-free information on the menu

This place has tons of gf options, they don’t have a specific GF menu but their website has one of the most extensive allergy menus ever where it shows for each ingredient for each dish has what allergen, so for example you could see that the eggs Benedict as an unmodified dish contains wheat but you can see that it’s only in the bread, which you can replace with their gf bread and then it’s gluten free. The staff are really knowledgeable about allergies and you can have them input a gluten allergy, and your food comes out with a wooden allergy marker as well. I’ve gotten the salmon eggs Benedict with gf bread, the vegetarian hash, and omelets, all have been gf with the gf bread and delicious.

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.

My daughter has Celiac and I’m gf. They prepare allergy meals in a separate area of the kitchen. She ordered gf French toast and it came out seperately and marked. Our server was very knowledgeable, but others there were not. It has now been a couple of hours since we went and my daughter and I both feel good with no signs of being glutened.

They are very considerate when I order gluten free bread for toast and inform them of my allergies. I'm sure other locations might be less kind but this one is great.
Cross contact is possible I'm sure, but I believe they car enough to make some effort

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.
