As a GF DF diner, sometimes I must be satisfied with one thing I can eat on a menu. Was super psyched to find there were multiple options here. Though the menu isn’t marked, the server was incredibly knowledgeable (eg couldn’t have a dressing with soy sauce, but getting extra aioli would compensate). The ticket was marked with ‘celiac’ and the kitchen cooks our dishes separately. I enjoyed my meal and would definitely go back again.
The waitress was very knowledgeable about gluten free items on the menu and how they are prepared to be safe. The gluten free pineapple upside down pancakes were amazing!

They no longer mark their menu with gluten free options. The server also informed me they dip bread for gluten free and regular french toast I the same batter. So lots of cross contamination issues. We ended up leaving without eating.
Fun place for brunch with friends. It has a retro decor and fun coffee mugs. Their pancakes are HUGE! Hash browns come as a formed patty (kinda like a burger?) with crispy outsides and soft center. A fair amount of items are GF. They have corn hole outside while you wait and a front patio with dog friendly seating.
So exciting to have pancakes and French toast again!! The only things on the menu that they couldn’t make gf were the burrito, and one of the bowls. Delicious and no reaction after going 2 different times!
Loved coming here! My waitress knew exactly what celiac was and assured me they prep items in separate pans/areas. There was so much to choose from, probably 75% of the menu is gf! I even got to enjoy a cheese danish pancake which was so unique and fun to try. I’ll definitely be coming back here :)
Great options, very knowledgeable staff, did have to ask about gf options. Had delicious french toast! Also great veggie and vegan options :)
I love this place. The food is amazing. I have eaten at this location and at locations in Missouri. All of the place are awesome. The staff at this location were amazing. Try the OMG French toast GF. IT IS THE BEST.
They can make about 95% of items gluten free, although they’re not marked on the menu. You can also get half orders or most things if you can’t decide what to try.
Waiters noted that they could add allergies to the ticket and did so. Food came out with gluten free marking sticks. Only downside is that GF is not marked on the menu. But the waiters did a great job noting what options they had. Great experience and fantastic food! I got th GF OMG French Toast which I inhaled! My 4 year old got the GF blueberry pancakes which he ate all of it! My wife got an omelet with GF toast.
So, you have to ask about the gluten free options, it is not specifically listed on the menu. However, they were super helpful and made great recommendations on why to get. I had the tostada and it was really nice! Kind of messy but what can you do?
The food was fantastic and almost everything could be made gluten free. The menu in the restaurant didn’t have much labeled but the website does. The wait staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. The pancakes were amazing.
Where do I even start? Unbelievably good!! Tried MANY different things including pancakes and waffles. 95% of the menu is GF. And if you go on their website you can look at their menu and select gluten-free tab and it will show you everything that is gluten-free or other things like allergies.
The waitor was extremely knowledgeable about gluten free options and cross-contact measures in the kitchen. I ate the egg white and veggie protein scramble with chicken sausage and avocado. It was delicious!
Great! Food was great, almost everything on Menu could be made gluten free.
Dedicated GF
Is there a gluten-free menu?
- — Gluten-free items are marked on the main menu
They have the best gluten free pancakes I have ever eaten.
Dedicated GF
Best breakfast in San Diego! Almost Everything can be made gluten free and they are knowledgeable about allergies and celiac. I eat here at least once a week and have never gotten sick. I am 99.9% confident in this restaurant. And the food is the best tasting including non gluten free places.
Almost everything on the menu can be made gluten free, our waitress was very knowledgeable and knew right away what was safe and what was not. I had gluten free French toast and bacon and it was the bomb!
We had a nice meal here, no issues at all.
OH MY FREAKING GOD!!! Sooooo delish!! I can’t even explain how amazing this place is!! The gluten free pancakes, the eggs, hash browns and bacon were all amazing!! The atmosphere was fantastic and the staff were all so pleasant :) This place is a must!! I have a wheat, nut and seafood allergy and had no reactions :)
Excellent service. Server was well versed in gluten free option. Online menu had a filter for gluten that told you what was gluten free, what could be modified gf, and what could not. Pancakes were excellent and they could even make the pancake of the week special gf!
Amazing food and options. Can make almost any menu item gluten free and had a dedicated kitchen area to minimize cross contamination. Felt great after the meal!
Amazing food, waitress was extremely knowledgeable and they have dedicated kitchen space for celiac.
Great options - pancakes especially. Waitress made sure that it was safe from contamination. Always a great experience at Snooze
Delicious food AND they take cross-contact VERY seriously, the food even came out labeled for extra confident. They made have gf pancakes and French toast, we tried them both and they were so good I wouldn’t have known gf!
Amazing breakfast! Was able to customize my order! Did a classic breakfast but swapped the toast for a GF blueberry pancake. This was not on the menu but the staff knew it could be done. The pancake came out with a “gluten free” wooden stick. (Not dairy free) - Bartender also informed us the Bloody Mary house mix is gluten free.
I had such a great experience here. Our server was very knowledgeable and even anticipated my questions about cross contamination. The food was delicious. I wish we could make it over there every day during our vacation so I can try more things!
Amazing staff and food! No GF menu but can make 98% of the menu GF. Server surprised our GF (celiac) and nut free kiddo with a celebration pancake. Made our day a little more special!
Had the pancakes and they were delicious! No separate Gf menu but they were able to tell me what could be made Gf which was most the pancakes and some of the French toast. Highly recommend!
Went here twice on my vacation in San Diego! Very knowledgeable about allergies (I’m allergic to dairy and gluten) and had plenty of options. I ordered an omelette with hash browns and it was delicious, and best of all I felt safe. Highly recommend.
I've ate here twice. Got the blueberry danish pancakes and french toast neat. Both of them were delicious and when I asked for the gluten free options they asked if I am celiac which I am. They said that my food would be prepared in a separate area of the kitchen which helped me feel much more relaxed. Would definitely recommend
The wait was about an hour. Service is ok, food is nice. I ordered sweet potatoes bacon smash up, it is good but not impressive.
YUMMY! Loved it so much that we dined here twice during our trip. Most of the menu can be made gluten free, including pancakes and French toast. I got the pancake trio - some of the best gluten free pancakes I’ve ever had. The waiters were very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
Went here for the first time and the majority of the menu was able to be modified. The staff was very knowledgeable and told me that the kitchen staff changes their gloves and cooks the food separately from gluten containing items. I also received my meal with a flag indicating it was gluten free. Had a great experience here, would definitely go back.
Great breakfast spot. Many choices. Very careful about GF concerns. Items are well marked. Restaurant is knowledgeable.
Their menu changed, you can only do GF or Dairy free which is sad for dairy intolerance, but food is awesome and folks are knowledgeable about allergy, and a lot good options to look at
Simply amazing. One of the best celiac safe breakfast spots in the country. Get the cinnamon roll pancakes and don’t think twice.
Service is always great, it has a fun atmosphere, and the menu is wonderful! I’m just a tad wary of visiting now. Last time I went, they delivered a marked gluten free pancake to the table since I mentioned I had celiacs. My friend and I shared it and also ordered the same omelet main, no toast. Though I’ve never had an issue with cross-contamination. An hour or so later I got violently ill and was sick for the next 5h. It didn’t last long enough to be food poisoning, so I suspect the pancake was not gluten-free. 🙁
Oh man this place was a little bit of heaven for me!!! They offer lots of gluten free options!!! I was so excited that I could get French toast and pancakes and they were GLUTEN FREE! The waiter was very knowledgeable about celiac and reassured me they take every precaution to make their gluten free items safely. I had the pancake trio and it was sooooo delicious! I can’t wait to go back for the French toast! I had no reaction after eating here. What a blessing!
Yummiest breakfast and pancakes ever for a celiac like me!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

lots of options, food comes out marked for allergy
Oh man. Idk. I went here after reading the below reviews. I did not really have a good experience. I’m sure it depends on server.
There is nothing labeled on the menu as gluten free. There is not a gluten free menu.
I was told by the manager they could make anything on the menu gluten free (which I’m not sure I fully believe because they kind of blew me off when I questioned flavored bacon and drinks). I felt blown off really. But they did say they had a completely separate area in the back for gluten free food.
The thing that really bothered me was that they properly labeled my pancake but my eggs and bacon came out at the same time and in the same hands as my son’s non gluten pancake. I didn’t eat it I cried because I was hungry. 🤷♀. I will say another server saw my frustration and jumped in and remade those items for me but at that point I didn’t trust anything except the pancake.
Ate the pancake. It was pretty good. No stomach issues but the whole rest of the situation was sad. :/. Went home and ate my own sausage at home.
We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast! The server brought us a cinnamon roll pancake to try and it was so fluffy. Exactly like a cinnamon roll. Very very sweet so one shared between four people was more than enough.
Just about the entire menu can be made gf. The food was delicious! I had French toast and it was amazing. I also tried the “bacon but different” and it was tasty! Angi, our server, was fantastic. I highly recommend this place for breakfast!
Amazing food, service, and attention to detail.
