First came to this chain in tampa. Ended up going for breakfast for 3 days straight. Was happy to see one open here. Good quality, has GF bread, wait staff make a note for kitchen. No issues. Gotten scrambled eggs cooked with oil, avocado and bacon.

Morris Plains franchise has worked with me in person and in a crazy phone call/Uber delivery - I haven’t been cross contaminated yet - perhaps I’ve just been lucky. The food is excellent, inventive, and tasty!

Would not go back. Waitress said they could do gluten free but then brought my omelette over with regular toast and non-gf home fries. When I explained that I couldn’t eat it she asked if it would be okay for them to just take the gluten containing items off of the plate. This was after I had said that even 1 crumb could make me sick. I am also dairy intolerant and my omelette came covered in butter

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.
