Snooze, an A.M. Eatery

Went to the Ballpark location in Denver. We were passing through with a 10 hour drive ahead of us. My daughter took her NIMA sensor to test the food since we’d never eaten there. Although the staff were wonderful and made every attempt to accommodate my daughter, the pancakes tested positive for gluten 3 times (twice on the first batch, once on the second that they remade). They use King Arthur’s mix - a brand that has been great for my daughter. But we just couldn’t take the chance. This makes sense based on another review we read (lady that got carry out pancakes that made her celiac daughter sick). The staff and management tried really hard - remaking her food and eventually getting her some fruit and dry Udi’s toast. But know the pancakes did not pass! Thank GOODNESS for the NIMA!

I had the protein scramble and the gluten free pancake flight! The food was phenomenal. The waitstaff was super knowledgeable and my pancakes came out marked with a GF skewer. Of the pancakes, I liked he sweet potato best. It was very busy so I suggest getting on the waitlist before you arrive.

I have celiac. I was really excited to eat here because GF stuff was clearly marked, our server seemed super knowledgeable about GF options, and said the chef was very careful with allergies. The food was AMAZING. I couldn't believe it was GF. Turns out, it wasn't. I got eggs hollandaise and a blueberry pancake. I think the pancake was probably the issue, because I know that I can endure accidental cross contamination and even up to a whole bite of glutenous food without getting sick. I got really sick after. It was really disappointing because the food was so good, I had really wanted to go back....(before I got sick). ***This was at the Union Station restaurant on Wynkoop St, which does not show up on this app***

We have eaten at Snooze over the years with no problems. However, yesterday we got their take out for the first time (due to social distancing) from the Colorado Bld location. Our daughter is celiac. We ordered online, clearly indicating a gluten "allergy," adding in the comments that she is celiac, etc. We ordered three kinds of gluten free pancakes for our family. Two of them had their "gluten free" sticks in them, one did not. She only ate the ones with the sticks in them and was sick two hours later. She was clearly glutened. I wish I didn't have to write this review as we have loved Snooze but I don't want any other celiacs to get sick, especially right now.

It tasted delicious but that doesn't matter because it was not safe for celiacs.

Most of their menu can be made GF and it’s really good! Their Chile verde eggs benedict comes on a stack of tortillas instead of an English muffin.

Got a great breakfast and didn’t have any issues.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have the best gluten free breakfast around! The pancakes and toast are so good! I have eaten here dozens of times and have never gotten sick!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Super yummy! Lots of gluten free options (just ask the waiter). French toast was really tasty! Make sure you put your name in on their app!

Another great place to eat at while traveling or local to Denver. Hubby & I visited Denver for our Honeymoon and before heading to the Science Museum (awesome experience btw), we decided to grab some breakfast. It was busy and packed out the door but we waited maybe 10-15 mins for a table. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable especially with our allergies. The food was delicious and so light weight on your stomach, Pineapple Pancakes & Spud were the best combos to split. The Drunken Chai was great and the environment was on point. We will def be back!!

Great breakfast options for gluten free dining, staff was knowledgeable about cross contamination. Restaurant gets very busy so if you download the app you can put your name on the list ahead of time. My daughter is celiac and had gluten free delicious pancakes.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Lots of GF options. Server was knowledgeable and kitchen was careful about cross contamination. I am very sensitive and was able to get the french toast & didn’t get sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Even though they don’t have a separate gluten free menu, the server here could tell me exactly what was naturally gluten free or could be substituted to be gluten free. They have separate cooking areas and will clean off the grill, use different utensils, etc. I got the French Toast Neat, which was wonderful. The hash browns were some of the best I’ve ever had. I did not get sick here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great variety of options. Very long wait on a Saturday or Sunday, so be prepared. The server was very knowledgeable. We had the lox benedict latkes and it was fantastic.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Not a dedicated kitchen but super sensitive to cross contamination. Sooo many options. Try the pineapple pancakes! Yes

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Recommend the breakfast tacos. server nice, food good. Large portions. Good price. No dedicated gluten free prep area but was told everything could be made 'gluten friendly.' Server returned to follow up about my specific sensitivity and made me aware they couldn't guarantee completely gluten free food. No issue following visit.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious food, very understanding of gluten free. Locally sourced ingredients, absolutely will come again.

Celiac friendly?

GF pancakes are amazeballs!!!!! Hashbrowns are delectable!! Staff is super friendly and helpful!!! A++

The food was good. The line was long. I didn't get sick, so that's good. But they used a lot of language like 'gluten friendly', that made me too nervous to really enjoy my meal, and they didn't have a labeled gluten free menu which makes me nervous.

It was amazing. Being gluten free for over 3 years I was used to the disappointment of gluten free pancakes at restaurants. That has all changed. I took one bite and was thinking these were the real deal gluten type pancakes, but they were not. I had my wife try them as well, she thought they were some of the best she has ever had and she isn't a gluten free eater. The staff was excellent and only 1 item on the menu could not be made GF. My wife had a potato hashbrown dish with eggs on top that was equally delicious.

They made my son gluten free cream cheese stuffed pumpkin pancakes. Snooze has become his favorite place to grab breakfast.

Quinoa breakfast bowl. So good. Knowledgeable staff. Grill was cleaned before the egg on my dish was cooked. Didn’t try the pancakes due to fear from seeing a blog video featuring a positive Nima sensor reading off one of their cakes.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place has a retro feel with great tasty foods and amazing service!

Everything on their menu is available gluten-free and can be made to avoid other allergens. I am allergic to coconut as well as gluten and didn't have any problems. I had the Blueberry Danish pancakes, which tasted lovely and were also really fluffy! The hot chocolate was excellent as well.

The salad is safe and tasty. On a side note, there was a giant cockroach on the dining room floor.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So yummy and accommodating! I loved OMG! French Toast!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The reviews from 2013 and 2015 about cross contamination really freaked me out, but i've eaten here twice (as well as the one in Fort Collins) and have never had a problem. They wipe down the grill for gluten free, and are knowledgeable about the difference between allergy and celiac. The gluten-free blueberry danish pancakes are some of the best gf pancakes i've had since i was diagnosed with Celiac 8 years ago. Amanda was our server and she was fantastic!

My daughter and I both have Celiac and are super sensitive. We were advised both times that no guarantee can be made to avoid cross contamination. We split the Snooze Classic Three farm fresh cage free eggs cooked any style and your choice of ham, bacon, sausage, chorizo, pulled pork, chicken sausage or soyrizo. Includes hash browns and choice of toast. It comes with gluten free toast. WARNING: shared toaster, so ask them to toast under appliance that melts cheese instead. We also ordered a GF pancake...it's big and delicious! My husband, who has no issues with gluten, preferred it over the regular oancake😊 My husband ordered the Chilaquiles Benedict Flavorful barbacoa beef over a stack of ranchero sauced tortillas and melted cheese, with poached cage free eggs, roasted poblano hollandaise, pico de gallo and cotija cheese and the Chile Verde Benny Slow cooked pulled pork over a stack of green chile sauced tortillas and melted cheese with poached cage free eggs and green chili hollandaise, pico de gallo and cotija cheese. Which are both GF and Yummy!

Love this place. had lots of options

Best pancakes and French toast I have ever had....even before going gf! I had a half order of each so yummy really comfortable and the waitress was super knowledgeable about gf!

Always great, very flexable, sometimes a bit of a wait but totally worth it.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Pancakes are made on the same surface as non GF but our waiter was super aware of Celiac and had kitchen staff clean the griddle. Also, get the Green Chili Benedict.. so so good!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food was tasty, but there's a reason the website and menu doesn't stress GF options. Wife and son are both Celiac. Server was honest enough to admit that kitchen put gluten (+) pancake on son's plate. Both of them have had severe flares for past 2 days. Don't go if truly sensitive, the cross-contamination is bad.

Celiac friendly?

No

So good. I dream about the pancakes. Always have had a safe experience.

I agree, omg. I had the tofu substitute for eggs in the scramble. So good. excellent potatoes. excellent spicy bloody Mary. side of corn tortillas. I usually go for the pancakes but the tofu scramble was calling my name and I'm glad I answered.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Their OMG French Toast promoted an OMG from me! Great spot and know gluten free dining.

My husband and I flew into Denver on our way to Boulder, CO. We stopped by Snooze Eatery for breakfast and I was highly impressed with all of the amazing and delicious gf options! The wait on a Sunday morning was to be expected so we had spicy Bloody Mary's on their patio while we waited for our table. Great modern environment with upbeat tunes and friendly, informed waitstaff. We split their Bella Bella Benny and OMG French Toast. Both were to die for! I am always skeptical when it comes to finding great gluten free food with foodie twists but this will have me craving Snooze until we get back to Denver. We could use a Snooze in Austin TX.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I let the waitress know I was celiac. The chef came our to talk to me, which was comforting. My pancakes were sent out one at a time, another comforting thing. I can't tell if they only cleaned enough grill space for one pancake at a time or if it was so busy they were being super careful about keeping them separate. Either way, delicious and safe for me.

Staff is well educated and the food is outstanding

We ate here in mid-October while in Denver on a campus visit. Very popular breakfast restaurant. We loved our food. My daughter has celiac and ate the GF pancakes and did not have any problems. I had the OMG French Toast which is to die for! My husband loved his meal as well.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF be careful!! I got really sick after eating here and I just got eggs, fruit and potatoes all GF according to them!

Awesome breakfast one of the best I have had. Had a classic Benedict and it was amazing! Our wonderful server who is GF too heard my debate between pancakes and Benedict's so she brought a pineapple upside down pancake for us to try! It was also amazing. We went on a sat and I hear to always expect hour long waits for the whole day. But it was worth it. Also wonderful drinks as well!

They seemed helpful about gf and even brought out a free sample of gf French toast they are thinking about adding to the menu. But the food is just ok. The gf pancakes are better at Stacks (although my husband feels the eggs and stuff he ordered aren't as good as they used to be). The best are the gf pancakes my husband makes with Pamela's mix especially with bananas and playing Jack Johnson's Banana Pancakes song.

They don’t have a separate cooking area but they change their gloves and use separate pans. They’re very helpful and work with me for my various allergies.
