First Watch

I have celiac disease and a lot of other allergies which makes it very hard to eat out. We have eaten here now over six times after church. Every single time the food is quick, they take cross-contamination seriously and I have not gotten sick. There are only two restaurants in the entire valley that I can feel confident and comfortable going to and First Watch is one of them!

I'd do it again. I took myself out for Valentine's Day breakfast. My waitress, a brunette with turquoise hair, and fun lollipop 🍭 earrings, was quick to bring me coffee and take my order. Due to severe allergies, I had done my menu homework, and was ready. I ordered the Trifecta with 2 eggs OM, 2 bacon and a side of GF french toast. I double checked to be sure it was free of my allergens, and was assured I was safe. My plate comes out, and atop the toast is a scoop of butter. I asked what kind it was, and she immediately was concerned. She brings a plate to put the toast aside and takes it back for a refire sans butter. Unfortunately, she was incorrect about the ingredients, and it was not safe for me to eat AT ALL!! This could have changed the entire layout of my day.... She apologized profusely, and offered me toast. I was already through my eggs, and she quickly offered to bring me more eggs with the toast. Lol that's a lot of eggs, so pass, and ask for the toast. Y'all, I got a single slice of gluten-free sourdough with a side of preserves. To clear up, when serving a plate of 2s, (2 eggs,2 meat,2 grain) and up charging for GF $1.50, you should not be sending out a single slice. This is just poor etiquette. I had my slice of toast, with my coffee, and enjoyed my solo breakfast date, and as it happens, I'm on a pretty good date, minus the food issues. The server pops by to apologize again, and is very sincere, and even comps my meal. I graciously accept, and thank her for her time. I leave a $10 for her and headed out.
