First Watch

⚠️ Risks & cross-contamination

• Cross-contact risk exists, largely due to inconsistencies around equipment and toasters. Some diners report dedicated GF toasters or separate prep areas, while others mention shared surfaces or toasters.
• Staff often guide guests through substitutions and allergen checks, and some guests note allergen markers and separate preparation for GF orders. Yet, there are multiple reports of miscommunication or incidents where gluten-containing items ended up with a celiac-order plate.
• The presence of an allergen-focused approach is clear, but reliability appears variable across visits, making safety less assured for someone with celiac disease, particularly when timing is busy.
