Snooze, an A.M. Eatery

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Very tasty. Menu items “can be prepared GF” which is always a bit unsettling. Got scrambled eggs, hash browns, GF bread and avocado as an extra topping. Great portions, great coffee.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was very knowledgeable about allergy options. We are gluten, dairy, and soy free. All of their gluten free options contained dairy. Other than that the food was very good and so was the wait staff. They use mixes so they can’t swap ingredients out to help make allergy free dishes. Had a good time and enjoyed the food despite our limited choices.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Yum...just yum!! Thank you Find me gluten free for the awesome suggestion!!! Almost everything can be accommodated to GF and they were very knowledgeable.

Their gluten-free pancake trio is amazing! They also have GF toast for French Toast and as a side to the traditional bacon and egg breakfast.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing!! Best pancake I’ve EVER had, even before diagnosis. So good, I wrote a review about it on my blog: onebiteglutenfree.com

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They know what they are doing even they are the busiest. Go and eat without thinking about it. Nima tested! Had Benny avocado smash and hash browns. Both were delicious. Loved the place. Just wish they had a bigger gluten free bread instead of a small slice.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff new how to prepare celiac safe food and I didn’t get sick! Best pancakes I’ve ever had since diagnosis.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff here are fantastic, they are very knowledgeable about the importance of a gluten free diet for a coeliac. The food was amazing. You must go here.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place is a must for celiacs in San Diego! I had 2 breakfasts here: pineapple upside down pancakes(2 giant pancakes, super filling!), and French toast neat (more basic but totally awesome!) I felt very confident that my needs were understood, and it was all fantastic!

One of my favorite places in the world! I used to live in California and while I was there I didn’t like pancakes in general which is mostly what the have there, but I can say that they have amazing hot chocolate and bacon. When we went back to visit I was able to get which OMG French toast which was AMAZING!!! Anyway snooze is the best, always has been always will be😊

Celiac friendly?

Yes

This place was amazing and the staff was knowledgeable about Celiac issues! It’s been so long since I’ve been able to eat delicious pancakes... I almost cried they were so good! The pancakes were huge and the scrambled eggs side dish was also wonderful. I’ll definitely be back.

The food was amazing! I got three different kinds of pancakes and all where made with GF batter. All very good and I would highly recommend going. The wait was long but the staff was very friendly. Also did not get sick after wards but I don’t think there is a set aside kitchen area for those are very sensitive

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Amazing!!!! The o my issue is how to not eat everything on the menu! Complete peace and safety to eat as a celiac but then to have such amazing food. Wow! Had the eggs Benedict and the pi able pancake on the side. Tempted to move to San Diego just so I can eat here more. And shockingly the green tea cucumber monitored so good!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff was amazing and so was the OMG French toast!

The GF pancakes did not make me sick - 3 stars - but they were tiny and expensive so I can’t go higher. The waiter charged us full price ala cart for our 6 year old’s breakfast, even though they do have a kids menu. If you’re going, plan to wait for a table. We waited 45 min on a Tuesday morning.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ate here twice on a trip to SD two weeks ago. The food was fresh and delicious and the staff was knowledgeable. They are able to modify some items too. Wish they had one in KS!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Sooooooo delicious and I felt very safe since the staff uses dedicated prep for Celiac’s. Able to substitute gf bread for anything on the menu. I had the “beat sandwich” with fried egg, bacon, arugula, and bacon-tomato aioli. Amazing!

Non celiac gluten intolerant here! I’m also Dairy Free. I got their classic breakfast (eggs bacon hash browns and toast) they have gf toast but I didn’t want any. The server was very kind and assured me they would keep dairy and gluten away from my plate. There is a disclaimer on the menu that there is a risk of cross contamination so may or may not be safe for celiac I can’t say. I also always take a gluten and dairy digest pill when I eat out. All of that being said, the food was delicious and I felt great after!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

One of our favorites! It’s a wonderful breakfast that’s safe for celiacs. All you have to do is specify celiac when you order and they know exactly what to do. So comforting and stress free.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great gluten free menu, awesome service! May have a line when you go you can always check in with he bar as well for faster seating! Loved the O.M.G French toast! So delish!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very celiac friendly. Food taste amazing and great service

everything on the menucan be made GF! Didn't ask about shared space or fryers because that is not part of my illness. but loved the attitude and care of the wait staff!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Almost the entire menu can be modified gf and safe for celiacs. The options are endless and I need to go back to try more yummy food: eggs benedict, hash browns, French toast, corned beef hash, etc. I haven't felt this satisfied and excited about brunch in awhile.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So good I had to go back again, loads of breakfast options

My family LOVED this place for the food and service but not for the wait (1 hr 45 min on a Sun morning). Even my Dad was impressed which is rare. All by 3 items can be made gluten-free on request!

Great food, ever greater service. A must go to for breakfast!

MUST GO! The staff was super educated abut food allergies. If you can't have dairy you cant have the pancakes or waffles bc they use cup for cup flour which was disappointing but great they knew that! I opted for the plain French toast instead which they used almost milk for..so nice!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Just moved to San Diego and this is my new favorite restaurant! A lot of breakfast items are already gluten free or can be made gluten free. They have excellent gluten free pancakes! Everyone that works there is super friendly and very knowledgeable about gluten free items. I have eaten breakfast here twice in the past week and have had no issues with being glutened. I highly recommend Snooze!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Staff very knowledgeable about cross contamination, wipe down the grill before making GF food, plus it was delicious awesome breakfast and lunch place pancakes French toast! Service was super

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The most amazing breakfast I've ever had. After much deliberation I settled in the OMG French Toast, with a side of hash browns. I've never had anything like it! Great service too. Don't miss this place!

Incredible. So friendly, so helpful and SO delicious. Cannot recommend enough. My boys had GF pancakes, I had the snooze classic with poached eggs, bacon and GF toast. It was beautiful. They also spoilt us with a free GF choc chip and cinnamon butter pancake. To. Die. For. Staff were well educated and customer service focused. Such a refreshing change for us as a GF and dairy intolerant family.

First time I have had egg's Benedict in a long time, and it was even on super yummy gluten free bread. Went on a Tuesday at 9, so there was no wait

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Good lawd, this place is good. Celiac here, went three days in a row. We didn't care to even look for another place, it was so good. And the staff are awesome.

Fabulous restaurant. So many choices. I ended up getting the breakfast tacos (corn tortillas) and one gf pineapple upside down pancake. Both very tasty although I thought the tacos were better. Waiter did warn of gluten/flour in the kitchen. However I'm extremely sensitive and did not get sick.

WOW! Hands down the best breakfast restaurant I've ever been to. We are both Celiac and I am normally very sceptical of any eatery I'm not familiar with. But based on the reviews, I was willing to risk it. After talking to the waiter I felt comfortable enough to try. And how happy I am that I did. Highly recommended.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Excellent location, great breakfast food. I recommend the blueberry Danish, it's amazing. :)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Loved them! My Sweet Potato pancakes were so good. Beyond good.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Such great gluten free options! The blue berry pancakes are my favorite. Be sure to specify GF and severity and they will put on fresh gloves, utensils, and clean the grill. Didn't get sick once. Just be sure to get there early to avoid a long wait.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food was amazing. Excellent GF pancakes in a variety of flavors. I did not get sick which was a bonus on vacation. Customer service was awesome too!

They do warn of cross contamination, however, they assured me that they clean the surfaces prior to preparing your meal if you have a gluten allergy. I had chocolate chip pancakes and it was great!! No reaction and so nice to get a treat like that.

Celiac friendly?

No

I really wanted to love this place. The food was actually delicious. However, even though I discussed my gluten allergy with the staff and they noted it on the order, I still got glutened. The menu does have a standard disclosure for food in contact with gluten and the possibility for cross contamination, but I figured that with the raving reviews and how comfortable the waitress seemed with GF, that I would be OK. I was Not. So sad.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Long wait but worth it (they'll text you when your tables ready, so go explore). Had the O.M.G. French toast - totally delicious! Not as much of a sugar fest as it sounds (my husband got the gluten-y pot pie and was jealous of my dish) We also got a GF pineapple upside down pancake, it was fluffy and so yummy. Think I'd get a more fun drink next time, they have a few to choose from.

Great breakfast place with tons of choices. Knowledgeable staff.

Great menu! Love the imaginative ways food is prepared! Pancakes were amazing and wait staff are very friendly and knowledgeable.

when I told them I had celiac they made my food separate from the normal grill they use. I had an amazing breakfast topped off with a cinnamon roll pancake. I highly recommend!!!!

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.

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

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

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

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 😂

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!

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.

—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.

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

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.

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

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

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!!

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

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.

Celiac friendly?

No

Ate here twice on vacation. 1st time was great. 2nd time I informed the waitress THREE TIMES that I was celiac and she still brought me gluten pancakes. I didn’t know until I asked another waitress to double check that my to-go order was gluten free, and she replied “none of them were, were they supposed to be??” Currently dying, and I’m in a car for a 12 hour drive home. Also, the bathrooms have no toilet paper, which I noticed during my three trips using only Kleenex.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Granted I was on (legal) edibles, but this was legit the best meal of my entire life. I had the peach pancakes plus bacon.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

GF French toast killed it. Yummy.

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

They can make almost everything GF! Highly recommend the GF pancakes.

All kinds of pancakes and breakfast items. Great variety.

Staff was very helpful and able to make me gluten free food!!

Such nice people. Great food. Lots of GF options.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Very knowledgeable staff! Best GF pancakes I’ve ever had. I haven’t had any other GF options here but pancakes are what I miss most with my dietary restrictions.

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?

No

Got gluten a few weeks ago. I even placed an order right at 630Am so there wouldn’t be any cross contamination. No such luck. Got sick later that afternoon. Not to mention the pancake were dry and hard. Will not be eating there ever again.
