Snooze, an A.M. Eatery

This restaurant chain is amazing for gluten-free options. Essentially, almost all of the menu is gluten-free except for, notably, the vegan pancakes. I had a sampler of three pancakes, and it was yummy! No ill effects whatsoever.

Snooze is a GF staple, but the Huntington Beach location (new ish as of this posting) is awesome. I have eaten at this location twice, felt confident, and did not get sick. The servers are friendly and will answer any questions. Even with modifications, they made sure to let me know what was not GF and what is GF. The pancakes are incredible and I treat it like a dessert to the egg dishes. If you’re looking for a flavorful breakfast experience, this is the place for you. Last time my pancake even came out with an allergy stick, which I love — because it does look “too good” to be gluten free. I even know someone who works there and she told me they are even consistent with wiping down the menus, which is such a bonus!

First question asked was about dietary restrictions! They can make almost anything on the menu gluten free. They take allergies seriously. Idk about kitchen practices. I’ll be trying the Sweet Potato Mash Up and Gluten free blueberry pancakes!

All I can say is wow. We really enjoyed our brunch here. There are SO many GF selections, it’s hard to make up your mind! If you like pancakes, this is your place. They make several different succulent varieties, and you can order a flight to try one of each. But these pancakes are enormous, about an inch thick and at least 7” around, so you may be taking some home. It was so enjoyable to have options. Usually there only a few items to choose from on a menu, so to have this much almost seemed overwhelming. Check out their menu before arriving so you have a chance to make your choices with time to peruse the choices! I had a white chocolate raspberry pancake with some kind of creamy topping which was a special that day. Outstanding!

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.

Called ahead and they welcomed all of our concerns and heard us. They even took extra precautions (cross-contaminate) that we requested to ensure that our daughter enjoyed her meal.

Easy menu was online so we could plan ahead.
