I've never had a negative experience here, they've always taken my allergy seriously and never had a reaction! Plenty of gluten free items on the menu!

Sadly I have been here 2 times and each time they screw my order up. I tell them it’s an allergy, order gluten free toast and they always plate it with regular toast. I send it back and pray that they don’t just throw gluten free toast on same plate. Sadly, I am from out of town and this is the place that family I visit chooses, but this is sad that they can’t read a ticket. Expo person sucks at their job.

I'm gluten intolerant and can eat here no problem! Cross contamination is possible. I ordered French toast with their gf bread and it was delicious!

I was pleasantly surprised with the measures taken to ensure the safety of the meals. The food was prepared in a designated area, clearly labeled for allergies. Initially, we were a bit disheartened to see that the typical breakfast options—eggs, meat, and potatoes—weren't labeled as gluten-free. However, upon talking with our server, we learned about their commitment to accommodating all dietary restrictions. She detailed their process and also confirmed that the gluten-free toast would be kept separate from regular bread during toasting (which is actually done in the dedicated gluten-free space, not the toaster). Again, I was very pleasantly surprised at how serious they took it. We had a great experience!

They were fantastic at allowing me to get the gluten free toast as raspberry French toast with lemon ricotta cheese. Chefs kiss!

Good food, a decent variety of gf options. Especially for a breakfast/brunch place. First watch is pretty good about being knowledgeable on GF options but if you get a server who doesn’t know, they have always been happy to check with the kitchen/manager who is knowledgeable.

Ordered a frittata and an omelette. Both came with GF toast at no additional cost, and they have a dedicated toaster. Also dairy-free and was easily accommodated. Everything was delicious and filling and the cheese was not missed.

Slightly disappointed no corn-only tortillas for breakfast tacos, but what we did order was sooooo good!

The staff was great as well as the atmosphere, too!
