Snooze, an A.M. Eatery

On Safety

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.

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.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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!

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!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

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.

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!

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!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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

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?

No

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.

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

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

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

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

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

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

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!

Snooze is the best gluten free breakfast place in Denver. It's a little pricey but the pancakes are worth every penny. I suggest the Graceland pancakes.

Love Love Love Snooze! Eggs Benny are delicious!

Pancakes were amazing.

I ordered the sweet potato bacon mashup and it was amazing! The staff was very knowledgeable about which items could be made gf and also dairy free. I did not get sick.

Yummiest breakfast and pancakes ever for a celiac like me!

Almost any “bread item” (toast, pancakes, waffles) can be made gluten free. My wait person asked if my gf request was due to preference or allergy. The pancakes (King Arthur) are served with gluten free market and are the best I’ve ever had. It’s my favorite gf place!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They don’t have a separate gluten free menu but they can prepare almost anything on the menu gluten free. I’m very sensitive of the last three places I ate out I got sick but I didn’t get sick here so I’m super happy to have one restaurant on my list of safe places to eat! I even asked the waitress to note how sensitive I am to gluten and they took extra time to prepare my meal to limit cross contamination. I had the avocado Benedict it was so good!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The waiter was very attentive to my gluten free needs and my daughter’s dairy free restrictions. The gf options are huge, like most of the menu can be accomodated - French toast, pancakes, eggs Benedict, etc. So many options that I needed help ordering. I ended up getting half orders of OMG French toast and Habernro Eggs Benedict. Amazingly wonderful! It’s my new favorite breakfast spot! If waiting for a seat is an issue, then try to come at times that are earlier or not a weekend. But worth the wait! Definitely wasn’t “living without” here!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Dropped a star for horrifically slow service; food is excellent, though. Went for Sunday brunch. Pineapple upside down pancake was phenomenal and not as sweet as it sounds, hash browns were a nice treat, too. I liked that you can add a single pancake to any order so you’re not faced with a just-pancakes breakfast.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We had breakfast here everyday of our trip. There is a huge selection and almost everything can be made gluten free. It was such a relief to find a restaurant that takes Celiac seriously.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Love this chain. No matter which location I have visited, they take gluten free very serious and makes sure no issues. This location had friendly staff and very knowledgeable.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The menu states that there may be cross contamination in the kitchen, however they have gluten free pancake mix and several other gluten free options, my favorite being the breakfast tacos. I’ve had no problems eating here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

My husband and I are regulars here. Only 2 items on the entire menu cannot be made gluten-free. The pancakes are amazing! Never gotten sick here!

Celiac friendly?

No

This place is absolutely not celiac friendly. They have alot of gf options but every single one of them is cooked on the SAME griddle as the gluten food. I could not eat anything here ( celiac) and my son who has a dairy allergy was also not able to eat here. We sat and watched while the the rest of our party ate. Just another restaurant that doesn't care or understand the needs of people with food allergies.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Snooze is fabulous! I enjoyed a delicious omelette. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Felt safe eating here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This is the first pancake in 2 years my daughter liked. Big. Fluffy. Yummy. Great gf options. Highly recommend! We were visiting Dallas and went twice!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing! I’ve never had a cross contamination problem, although “diner” style food is notorious for it. They confirm at the table if it’s an “allergy” or lifestyle. I’ve been here 20+ times. Staff is amazing. Get the “sinful pancake” if you want something ridiculously delicious, but not at all healthy 😂

I can’t believe this place exists in Fort Worth. It can be very crowded sometimes, but the food is amazing. I had the two Eggs Benedict plate and split a pancake flight (pineapple, sweet potato, and blueberry). Everything was fresh and tasty, and the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the gf options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So many choices it is hard to decide.

We ate breakfast here 3 times in 5 days in San Diego. The options were endless and delicious. My kids were so comfortable with eating there and no reactions. The waitstaff was excellent too.

—2019 Review: Worth another Shot— My friend wanted to try Snooze so I decided it was worth giving them another shot...having Celiac Disease, I was not disappointed this time. For being busy for Sunday brunch, the staff was knowledgeable about gluten free options and ensured me that the kitchen staff goes above-and-beyond to ensure there is no cross-contamination. I had French toast and a chocolate chip pancake. The portions are actually huge so I took leftovers home. It was delicious and I had no issues during this visit to Snooze. —2018 Review— Snooze was a disappointment. I was super excited to have brunch as I saw gluten free pancakes and French toast on the menu. My grandfather and I ordered the gluten free pancake of the day. As the waitress is bringing the food to our table, she informs us that the pancake of the day is in fact not gluten free. I’m glad that she caught the mistake before we took a bite as it could have been disastrous. So while the rest of my family ate their pancakes (non-Celiac Disease), my grandfather and I had to wait for new pancakes. We ended up getting blueberry & chocolate-chip. By the time it came out, the rest of my family was done eating though. I wish the waitress knew from the gecko instead of hyping me and my grandfather up and making us wait for a new order. Snooze would greatly benefit by putting labels on their menu instead of relying on the wait staff to tell customers what is and is not gluten free.

I eat here often and have never been sick. They seem knowledgeable and accommodating of my celiac.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

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.

The gluten free options are endless! There are only two things on the menu that can not be made gfree. The food was fresh, hot, and delicious. My new favorite breakfast spot.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great friendly staff. Visiting from Texas and quality is always consistent across the board. Definitely recommend this restaurant and also this location. Love how almost anything on menu can be made gluten free and I have never had an issue when coming here.

Celiac friendly?

No

NOT Celiac safe. We didn't make it out of the parking lot before getting sick.

They use the term gluten friendly on their menu. There are some GF items I didn’t feel comfortable ordering with celiacs but I’ve had success with their omelettes and hash browns so far. Always crowded on the weekend place with fun retro inspired design.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent food, carefully prepared as illustrated by the extra time they took cleaning the kitchen prep area so don’t arrive in a rush, or let them know ahead of time. Numerous choices - they don’t even mark the items on the menu and say everything can be made gluten free, but be prepared for substitutions (GF bread in place of English muffins on the numerous varieties of eggs Benedict). Also note the hours: they are strictly a morning place and are close at 2:30pm. A very small caveat: their black tea seemed to have a fruit added - unexpected and not our fave, but I’m sure they would have replaced if asked.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Stopped in for a quick bite. Ordered two breakfast pot pies unfortunately not offered gluten free, one with fruit and one with hash browns. I was blown away with how amazing the food was. The fruit was so fresh even for it being out of season. Hash browns were great too! Drinks from the bar took longer than our food did. I loved the check being brought with a way to pay at the table, no more giving up our cards to strangers and it made it super fast to pay not having to wait for the card to come back. Would highly recommend this place to anyone. Portions were a great size for breakfast/brunch. Was told only 4 items on the menu can’t be made gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Almost everything on the menu is gluten free, and they make sure to let the kitchen know if it’s celiac/an allergy. Also very delicious—love the sweet potato pancakes.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

When we went to Snooze the waiter was very knowledgeable, I had eggs and gluten free toast, which was very good. I would definitely go there again.

Very accommodating of GF/DF needs. Server asked immediately if there were any allergies at the table and gave good suggestions.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I’ve been here twice and each time the service and food were excellent. Many options for GF. I’ve had the pancakes and the OMG French toast. It’s a treat to come here.

Staff knowledgeable. Great options including fun unique gluten free pancakes. Items cons out with gf indicator.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Delicious and safe. Service was great, food was great, and I did not get sick. Gets packed on weekends though so watch out if you're short on time

Celiac friendly?

No

We unfortunately had a bad experience due to a mistake. We had informed our server that my partner has coeliac but they forgot to inform the chef of this. An entirely human error but the damage had been done. My partner had eaten almost 2 gluten containing pancakes by the time the server had informed us of the mistake. I know this place has great reviews and plenty of people have eaten here fine, we were just unlucky. I would add though on the menu they have a disclaimer that they can't guarantee there won't be any cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Everything is NOT gluten free, why would someone say that?! I've eaten here a few times without getting sick. They offer gluten free pancakes and toast, they take reasonable precautions and do a good job.

Celiac friendly?

No

Told my server I was gluten-free and he knew what that meant. Ordered the Lox 'n Latke Benny. It was delicious.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent knowledge of GF and almost everything can be made GF! My fav thing is the Bravocado Toast! Omg amazing! We will be back! I’m celiac and was totally fine

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Hands down best GF breakfast place in Charlotte. Almost the entire menu can be GF, and it’s a huge menu! I had the avocado benedict with hash browns and a chocolate chip pancake. Amazing!!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Yummy place! I got the OMG! French Toast. All of their pancakes or French Toast could be made GF. My kids ordered apple juice and chocolate milk with their meals. The apple juice was so yummy, more like cider. My son said it was like eating an apple. The chocolate milk was thick and chocolatey. Only complaint is that portion sizes were on the smaller side and we all left still feeling a little hungry. Kids plates needed another pancake with it. My plate could have used an egg or side of bacon...something. Definitely would come here again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had the French toast and sausage links. Pretty good and marked with a tag so it wouldn't get mixed up with anyone else's order. Friendly but slow service.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I eat here frequently and I’ve never had an issue. The staff is super understanding and can accommodate everything besides the burrito as GF!

Celiac friendly?

No

Food is not celiac safe. Try the Pancake House instead.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We absolutely love this place. The food is great, and we have never gotten sick here from cross contamination.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

What an amazing place! So many gluten free options. I had the sweet potato pancakes and bacon. So delicious and absolutely no reactions. I would recommend this place to other people with Celiac. Our server was excellent as well and took time to assure me of the kitchen's practice to avoid cross contamination before I even ask him about it. They flagged my meal as Celiac and not just gluten free.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great experience! Very safe and reassuring and everything was delicious! Didn’t get sick!

Celiac friendly?

No

Every time I have eaten here I have reacted. Be careful.
