For those navigating the challenges of Celiac disease, dining out can often be fraught with anxiety. However, my recent visit to When Pigs Fly Waterford proved to be a genuinely pleasant and reassuring experience. As someone with highly sensitive Celiac, finding a breakfast spot that caters safely and deliciously to gluten-free needs is always a win.
From the moment I arrived with a non-GF friend, the bustling atmosphere of When Pigs Fly Waterford was evident, yet the wait time was surprisingly short – just a mere 8 minutes. The charming, cozy ambiance of the place immediately set a positive tone for our breakfast.
Our waitress, Jessica, truly stood out. Her service was nothing short of superb. Demonstrating impressive knowledge and attentiveness, Jessica patiently addressed my inquiries about ingredients and gluten-free options. Upon informing her of my Celiac and need for a strictly gluten-free meal, she confidently assured me of suitable choices. While they were unfortunately out of gluten-free white bread on that particular morning, the gluten-free whole grain alternative was readily available. This led me to the highly anticipated gluten-free French toast, which thankfully, lived up to expectations and tasted fantastic. Alongside, I enjoyed a classic omelet with bacon and ham, also prepared safely andFull of flavor. Although I had to forgo trying the syrups due to the lack of clear gluten-free labeling, the whipped cream topping on the French toast was a delightful and safe addition. Most importantly, I experienced absolutely no adverse reactions after my meal, a testament to their careful preparation.
Beyond the food, When Pigs Fly Waterford offers thoughtful touches that enhance the dining experience. A dedicated coffee section is available for patrons waiting for a table, although as a non-coffee drinker, I didn’t utilize it. However, the rich and satisfying chocolate milk was a worthwhile treat. Practical considerations were also in place, such as plastic silverware pre-wrapped, ensuring cleanliness and minimizing potential contact concerns – a detail appreciated by someone as sensitive to gluten as myself. The cleanliness of the table further added to the peace of mind. Even with the busy environment, the food arrived promptly.
It’s worth noting that while When Pigs Fly Waterford doesn’t have a dedicated gluten-free kitchen and food isn’t specifically flagged as gluten-free during preparation, the staff’s knowledge and willingness to accommodate dietary needs are commendable. Gluten-free items are clearly marked on their main menu, making ordering straightforward. This establishment is clearly knowledgeable about catering to gluten-free diets and their staff is trained to accommodate these requests effectively.
Overall, my experience at When Pigs Fly Waterford was overwhelmingly positive. It’s a fantastic spot for breakfast, brunch, or lunch, and appears to be family-friendly as well. For anyone seeking a delicious and reliably gluten-free breakfast in Waterford, When Pigs Fly Waterford is definitely a place I wholeheartedly recommend and eagerly plan to revisit.
