First Watch

Had several tasty breakfasts with no issues while visiting Austin. Had the ham and Gruyère omelet with potatoes and GF toast. Server informed me that the butter they would use for the toast would not be GF, which seemed weird, but I’m glad she knew that and warned me so I could skip it. Not a GF kitchen but I’m celiac and had no issues. Would eat here again.

They offer gluten free options but they do not seem to have any process to handle the gluten free request once the order is sent to the kitchen. My omelette arrived with wheat toast on the plate even after I stated no toast since they use a shared toaster for their gluten free toast. I had to wait for a replacement meal while my family ate. I hope First Watch management is able to implement some basic processes to better handle gluten free orders.

First time here so I will see how I feel later but was told they can pretty much make anything gluten free by subbing GF bread. There is not a dedicated menu which is disappointing and food is not prepared in a separate area but there are many options for breakfast, lunch, and brunch that can be made gluten free. Good food.

Have a separate gluten free menu. Waiter was awesome and talked through their allergen procedures! All good came out marked and was yummy.

While the food was great and I did not get sick(I have a severe allergy not celiac) the waitress was AWFUL. She finally came to our table after 30 minutes of waiting, when I said I was gluten free she asked how severe because of the possibility of cross contamination. She. The food was brought out she grabbed the bread off of my plate saying it was the wrong bread and she’d bring out the gluten free. I asked her to bring a fresh plate because there were crumbs all over my food and she proceeded to argue with me that it was just the seasoning.. worst experience I’ve had so far. I’ve heard so many good good things about this place but the waitress ruined my experience.

A pretty average breakfast. I had the healthy Turkey omelette and let the server know about my allergy needs. The food came out with some crumbs of another meal on them. I told the server and the manager came over and apologized, had my meal remade, and refunded me completely. They do seem to have some allergy standards in place, but I don’t think they follow them very well. The food wasn’t really good enough for me to want to eat there again, but my second meal was safe.

Server was very knowledgeable about gluten-free options and ensured that precautions would be taken (heard him mention celiacs and gluten free to cook twice). Skillet hash with fruit was delicious and no reaction!
