I’ve been there, it can be incredibly frustrating going out to eat somewhere when they don’t have a separate gluten free menu. So I’m going over everything we can eat and making it a First Watch Gluten Free Menu. Keep reading to find out what they have to offer!
Important To Know About First Watch
I love First Watch, but I do find it frustrating that their menu changes frequently and sometimes varies by location. They also don’t have a dedicated gluten free menu, which is why I’m going to do the best I can in making it clear what their gluten free options are. I’m posting this in the spring of 2023, so this is what’s available right now for their seasonal spring menu.
- Dedicated kitchen equipment (oven, toaster, pots, pans, utensils, etc.)
- Staff is knowledgeable and can answer questions
- Staff will clean kitchen space or change gloves if asked
- Food comes out flagged or marked gluten-free
