Good options and tasty food! Had a BLT on gluten free toast and home fries with no reaction. Cute place and would recommend!

While gluten free bread is available, they only have one toaster. Chef and wait staff is very knowledgeable, and will give you a menu that details all the major allergens in their dishes.

I’ve been to First Watch in other states, but this location was even more exceptional! Made sure to to toast my Gf bread in a separate pan to avoid cross contamination. Excellent service.

Delicious, knowledgeable, and decent selection of options!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They were EXTREMELY accommodating. The chef has celiac disease, so takes it very seriously. My waitress was also very knowledgeable. I had a chorizo omelette with breakfast potatoes, chicken sausage, and Udis toast. They toasted the bread on the oven over a piece of foil.

I am intolerant so I'm not sure about Celiac. I'm giving this three stars because, while the food that I had was good, I could have gone to Cracker Barrel for less money and more flavor. When I clicked on the gluten free menu online on my phone it kept showing me pancakes and waffles so I assumed they served gf pancakes and waffles. When we got there I found out I was wrong. It's just unclear on the mobile menu.

The gf menu has every single menu item on it with "no bread" or "pancakes are not gf" which would have taken for ever to read. I just pieced together a bunch of sides since I can't eat eggs either. If you can eat eggs and dairy this is still a good option. If you are looking for pancakes and waffles, sorry friends, this is not the place.

We ordered omelets for breakfast: The Works, Bacado, and the Acapulco Express. The chorizo sausage in the Acapulco Express contains MSG. The plates arrived and the aroma was amazing! And the taste matched!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great place to eat! They have a menu that tells you which options are gluten free and they will let you bring your own bread or buns for sandwiches!

We had a lovely lunch this afternoon. Deborah was absolutely wonderful and extremely accommodating to my various allergies. She went above and beyond to make sure my food was safe. They have good procedures against cross contamination. It was also delicious and very affordable.

I usually get the chicken quinoa power bowl here. I have not gotten sick and I always tell the server that I have a gluten allergy. I have heard that they do use shared equipment when toasting the gluten free bread so if you’re sensitive I’d stick with the bowls.

I love first watch! They are definitely branching out and now have a GF menu. If you are going to go to this location - ask for Rebekah! She is the best and is so careful! The management is aware of celiac and has taught their staff well overall. I do stick to quinoa power bowls due to my issues with rice flour, but for a standard celiac, the options here are great and the taste is next level!

My wife is celiac. We have eaten there a dozen times without problems. She would be sick before we get to the car if contaminated. Thought I should write this review.
