I spoke with a waitress regarding gluten free options and risk for cross contamination. She went on to say that there is lots of cc, but shes served celiacs who mentioned how intolerant they are and they didn't have any issue. She goes on to roll her eyes a laugh about celiacs who have no problem with all of the cc. Red flags everywhere. phoned manager to notify her to hopefully have her staff reeducated.

I mentioned a gluten and dairy intolerance to the maitre d. She told the server. He brought out dairy free creamer, suggested gluten free toast, and asked if the toaster needed to be cleaned out before mine got toasted.
Very allergen friendly!

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.
