I normally don’t get sweets for breakfast, but after seeing all of pancakes (with the exception of the vegan) can be made GF I had to try one! I was not disappointed in the least! The rest of my family did not eat gluten free but they reported their food was amazing.

This is an amazing brunch spot with lots of GF options! Staff is very knowledgeable and for non GF menu items, they suggest modifications to make it GF! Their breakfast tacos were delicious, as was their specialty bacon! The entree came out marked as GF as well. We will definitely be back here!

Review
Was so excited to try Snooze after reading so many good reviews about their gf options. Told the waiter I had Celiac Disease and he assured me he had it covered. Ordered the pancake flight. It came out with no allergy stick but I figured they didn’t use them. I should have questioned it but was so excited to have gf pancakes I dug right in. Big mistake. We drove 1 1/2 hours to a special museum exhibit and by the time we got there I wasn’t feeling well. 20 min into the exhibit and I had to find a bathroom and began violently vomiting. Spent an hour in & out of the public bathroom vomiting. Finally had to call my husband out of the exhibit to take me home. Vomited in the car on the way home as well. Wish I had questioned my meal when it was served. Big mistake. Will never eat here again.

The food was amazing! We both have celiac and my friend has 8 other food allergies. The waitress was knowledgeable, they have a GF menu on request, and they were able to confirm for her other allergies quickly. We both had amazing meals. I was so happy to find a place with GF hashbrowns! Such good food and excellent prices. We will be back.

Our waiter was very knowledgeable and the restaurant was able to accommodate both my celiac/gluten allergy and my mother’s dairy allergy. I got GF chocolate chip pancakes and they were delicious! They have so many options and I wanted to try them all because they looked so good!

Review
I love eating here! They have lots of gluten free options and everything is very tasty! I have multiple allergies (crohns) and I haven’t gotten sick eating here. I did have an episode where my drink was too hot and it burnt my mouth but the staff was very friendly about it and gave my a giftcard and a free meal also. But I trust the gluten free food here.

The fluffiest, tastiest pancakes I’ve ever had. They were EXTREMELY knowledgeable about cross contamination and allergy issues. Will definitely be back.

A large variety of GF items. I use the menu on their website, which allows you to filter out non-GF options and also tells you menu items can be altered to be GF.
I usually get their lox benedict and their GF pancake flight.

Review
Snooze knows how to keep me as safe as possible eating out. It's my go to breakfast/brunch place when traveling. I usually get the snooze classic, with bacon, over easy eggs, and sub out the toast for a gluten free blueberry pancake. I always make sure to ask them to follow allergen protocol and empathize at the beginning and the end of ordering. The pancake comes out marked with an allergen stick in it. I also appreciate that they bring out my order separately from everyone else's, or at the very least, my plate has always been on top. Be prepared for long waits unless you go during the week.

I ordered the Signature Pancake Flight and it was wonderful. You can choose the 3 flavors you prefer and it was plenty of food. All but 2 menu items can be made GF. Neat place as well, enjoyed outside sitting. Definitely give this a try. A little pricey but food was great.

This place is so good and offers so many GF options. Our party had a pancake, omelet, ham Benedict, toast, hashbrowns… all GF. The food comes out with a little stick in it that says gluten free. They seemed very knowledgeable. There is always a long wait, so get online and jump on the waitlist.

Review
I’ve been here several times now and have dined at Snooze in Colorado and throughout Texas. I second guess pancakes here all the time so I don’t get them, unfortunately. There seems to be a lack of consistency in knowledge about gluten here. I’ve seen them either “forget the stick” or have to take something back. The service is either amazing or not great. Drinks are inconsistent as well. Coffee is always great!
