Ordered through door dash so of course my bad. Then again, I was able to mark gluten allergy so I figured it was safe.

It was not. I have never been so sick from gluten since I've been diagnosed 4 years ago. Awful awful. Will never trust them again.

Ftr, ordered spuds deluxe.

Great place. Must have the GF pancakes. Big and fluffy. Best I've had anywhere! Nearly entire menu can be made GF. Staff well informed.

Snooze for the most part has been safe for GF. My last dining experience though I got exposed, presumably by cross-contamination. The server's attitude in this case didn't seem as caring as Others I've had there before were much better (good service is harder and harder to find nowadays). Maybe the GF instruction wasn't relayed to the kitchen or maybe it's getting more lax there. Regardless I don't think I'll eat at this location anymore because I don't like playing Russian Roulette.

Knowledgeable, caring servers and excellent food. All the pancakes & French toast can be made gf, and the server assured me they take precautions to avoid cross contamination. I had the OMG French toast and it was sooooo good. The server was very careful to check if the bloody mary mix was gf (it was!). Cute, bustling place. Great outdoor seating area. My friends also absolutely loved what they had.

I went on a very busy Sunday morning for brunch. Told them gf allergy. Plate came w gf allergy stick. Ordered the pancake flight. Got pretty sick. Not sure what happened? Mistake? Staff seemed knowledgeable, gf protocols in place… etc. I was surprised. Maybe because it was so busy…I would go back… on a quieter morning maybe.

We ate here 3x on vacation! Loved the strawberry pancakes, French toast, and crispy bacon. Items are not labeled GF but servers are very knowledgeable. My non-GF husband loved the food too.

Love this breakfast place! Everything is delicious! They can make their all of their pancakes gluten free (except the vegan version) and their French toast as well! They have gluten free toast as well. Staff are all super friendly and helpful and more than willing to help accommodate the gluten intolerant!

Love love this place. I’ve visited this place multiple times and love the food. Everything is always labeled with allergy sticks. And they’re willing to make anything on the menu gluten-free including their special pancake flavors. Get the pancake flight. You won’t regret it!

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.

The wait was too long at the San Diego location so I added us to the waitlist here and it wasn’t too long after we arrived. Staff was knowledgeable about celiac and we did not get sick. The corned beef hash was just ok but the GF toast and pancakes were fantastic.

Very knowledgeable about gluten free eating. They understand about cross contamination and take necessary precautions. I had breakfast tacos and a gluten free pancake. They have clean food preparation areas and I didn’t get sick. Also the food was so delicious! I’d come here again.

Fiancé and I ate here and while they asked if it was an allergy which was nice we don’t know if the message was relayed to the kitchen or if they even try to control for cross contamination because a few hours later symptoms occurred. Would not recommend if you’re very sensitive/have celiacs. Otherwise delicious lol.

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.

I've eaten at Snooze a number of times without issues, but I was glutened big time today. Staff are knowledgable and my pancakes came with a little gf flag. This was a reminder to me that, despite their best intentions, the possibility of cross-contamination can be low but never zero, which is why their menu calls these items gluten friendly, or some such, instead of gluten free. Today was very busy, which I suspect had something to do with it.
