Snooze, an A.M. Eatery

The service was ok and the food overall was good. My sister got the Ham Benedict III* and enjoyed it. I had the Smashed Avocado Benny* and I liked it for the most part, but the avocado didn’t taste fresh. It had a pureed texture and a strong lemony flavor, kind of like store bought guac, which was disappointing since the menu says “fresh smashed avocado.” The Benedict itself was still good though. I also ordered the hot chocolate. The presentation was nice, but it didn’t have flavor which was disappointing. Hash browns were okay. I got a side of bacon that wasn’t as crispy as I like (I forgot to mention it, but I feel like bacon should come out all crispy by default). Overall, not a bad experience, but if we’re in the area again, we’d probably check out a different breakfast spot.

I really enjoy starting my day with a delicious breakfast at Snooze! The atmosphere is always vibrant, and the menu is packed with mouthwatering options. I used to frequent the Del Mar location, which was my absolute favorite due to its cozy vibe and friendly staff. Unfortunately, they had to close down after the lease ended because of rising rental costs. Thankfully, I can still get my breakfast fix at the La Jolla location and it's s always a treat to visit!

Snooze is exactly what it says: an eatery. If you know what to expect - great service, big portions, solid, delicious breakfast food, but also a loud, high-energy, diner-style atmosphere with a fast-food feel - you’ll enjoy it. The staff is very friendly and quick, the menu is fun, and the place is super kid-friendly. Just don’t come looking for an elevated brunch experience or a relaxed, uplifting ambiance - it’s not that kind of place.

Our favorite brunch spot in SD! Service was awesome as usual. One of us decided to go “lighter” (new year’s and all) and tried the protein and veggie egg white scramble (so tasty!!) and the other felt slightly guilty and went with the crab and asparagus omelet with egg whites (amazing). The young one went with French toast, and that was so good, we had to get a half order of French toast neat (with berries and marscapone) (not pictured to protect the guilty) to balance it all out. So yeah, pretty delicious and worth the circling for parking.

Had high hopes based off reviews, but we will not be back. Staff was polite, but the service was horrible. Food was average. Staff: Waiter took a while to get to us, for our drink order. Once we got our orders in and we got drinks, our food did take a while. I finished my cup of coffee and my mug sat there empty for the whole time. Waiter did not return to check on us despite the long wait. A different waiter brought our food and I asked him for more coffee. When he finally came to refill my cup, he started walking off without refilling my wife's coffee, or even asking if she wanted more. We had to stop him as he walked away to ask him to fill her coffee as well. When the server dropped the food, they did not ask if we needed any condiments either. Food: Half of our dishes arrived cold. I ordered eggs Benedict and as seen in the photos, the eggs were over cooked. I basically got hard boiled eggs. Flavors on the dishes were ok, but nothing to rave about. Best part was the presentation of the dishes. Price: I'd say the price was fair for the dishes ordered. Overall: A disappointing experience and not a place I would go back to. The staff was not rude by any means, but they lacked greatly in the "service" portion of their job.

This spot is one of my go-to breakfast places—and for good reason. The food is consistently great, the place stays busy, and they’ve got something for everyone, including solid vegan options. I tried one of their new breakfast bowls with a few extra toppings and ate every bite. My mom loved hers too. Always a satisfying experience.

Everything cooked to order. Friendly, professional staff. Amazing variety from cinnamon roll pancakes to breakfast tacos. The signature bacon is an absolute must.

Snooze is a solid spot for breakfast or brunch. The food is good, and the menu offers a nice variety, so there’s something for everyone. I’ve been here a few times, and the experience is consistently decent. The service is friendly and efficient, and the vibe is laid-back and welcoming. While nothing particularly blew me away, it’s a reliable choice when you’re in the mood for classic breakfast fare or creative

The waiters were so kind and the food was extremely tasty. The egg Benedict was one of the most delicious things I have ever experienced. An easy 5 stars.

We ordered a single cinnamon roll pancake to share and it was our favorite out of everything!!! It was soo fluffy and served warm with icing and syrup...just divine. I would definitely return to try more of their pancakes Pork belly benny had a little bit of smoky flavor that elevated the whole thing in my opinion because I've had pork belly benny at other brunch spots before but Snooze's gotta be my favorite now + side of hashbrowns can't go wrong anywhere honestly For the chile verde benny, I chose pulled pork over barbacoa ooo the meat was so yummy and instead of traditional egg muffin, they used corn tortillas stacked on each other. I've never seen a benedict done like that before, would def recommend & I like that it came with tomatoes as well

This is probably something I will use as my standard for all brunch places from now on. The corned beef plate was just as good, if not, better than what I've had in the Midwest. And the bacon?! Oh my god, the bacon is to die for. If you're going to get anything here, get this bacon! The restaurant itself allows for outdoor, indoor, and bar seating, and has a very casual vibe to it. The servers are extremely down to earth and really chill. Overall it was a very relaxing time at this restaurant.

Great service ! We joined the waitlist online and missed our first time but was able to be seated within 15-20 minutes after. Service was quick and food was soo deliciously prepared. I was hoping to feel the heaters outside once we asked the hostess to turn them on but it didn't warm up the area much, if at all. The food and yummy abri-ca-lav-ra mimosa made up for it though! My daughter just wanted eggs and sausage which "wasn't on the kids menu" so we ordered hers a la carte and was it great.

I can understand why Snooze, an A.M. Eatery was packed both times I dined in. The booths are clean and spacious, both times service was great despite them being so busy, and not only was the food bomb but the price was fantastic! We got their limited time The Fresh Start Duo deal (1 beverage and 1 entree) for $12. I enjoyed their Rejuvenate fresh juice (pear, lemon, ginseng, agave, prickly pear, coconut water, and Himalayan pink salt) as it was a tasty sweet drink that paired well with my Bravocado Toast entree (rustic bread toasted with olive oil, smashed avocado, house-made red onion honey jam and roasted tomatoe. Topped with two sunny side up cage free eggs and Maldon salt. Served with Dijon vinaigrette, spiced pepitas and Parmesan-dressed greens). For my first dine in experience, I got the Protein Trio Omlet. Portion size was good, taste was nothing special. I highly recommend their Bravocado Toast (5/5 stars). I still can't believe our meal was only $12/person! Portions were filling and the food was also aesthetically pleasing.

Loved this location and the cool vibe atmosphere. The wait wasn't bad at all, even with the Waitlist closed, as we arrived at 8:30 on a Saturday. The lavender latte was delicious and filled with lavender, but tiny. It seems as though all of their specialty coffees are very small, despite the price. The food is amazing, only the best quality always and an incredible array of options. Have to try the "Bacon but different" for an amazing palate pleaser. The servers were attentive and friendly.

Always a great experience here at Snooze! Staff are friendly and food is consistently delicious! Their coffee is also bold and flavorful! Would 100% recommend this spot for breakfast/ brunch with friends/ family! Lots of parking available in a shared lot, indoor/ outdoor dining, patio games available while you wait for your seats, and there's a online Yelp waitlist you can sign up for before arriving to minimize wait time! (Note: while party must be present to be seated).

We arrived right when Snooze opened, so it wasn't crowded at all, but unfortunately, the experience didn't live up to expectations. SERVICE - The staff seemed disinterested and inattentive. We didn't feel like they cared much whether we were there or not, and they brushed us off as soon as we were seated. It really detracted from the overall experience. FOOD Breakfast Tacos - These were a huge disappointment. Bland and lacking any real flavor or texture, they felt like they were thrown together without much thought. French Toast - The texture was off, way too soggy. It didn't have the crispy edges or layers of flavor you expect from a good French toast--just flat and unmemorable. Chilaquiles - Honestly, this was the worst dish of the bunch. It felt like they took plain tortilla chips and tossed them in some random sauce. There were no layers of flavor, just a sad, mushy mess. Pancakes - These were a bit dense, but the flavor was at least decent. If you're craving pancakes, they might be the safer bet, but still not exceptional. This meal definitely left us wanting more. The food lacked flavor and texture, and the service didn't help make the experience better. There are plenty of other breakfast spots in the area that do it better. Wouldn't rush back.

Snooze is always packed, even at 8 AM--we got lucky with a four-top. I ordered the pancake flight (OMG French Toast, Pecan, and Strawberry Shortcake), plus an Avocado Eggs Benedict for my mom, who loves soft eggs. The Pecan Pancake was the standout with its rich nutty flavor. Their coffee is excellent! My mom enjoyed her honey oat milk latte, while my sister and I had house coffee. Great food, great vibes--Snooze is a reliable brunch spot!

Came here for brunch on a weekend. They accept reservations which is great! Parking lot can be a bit full but you'll find parking if you just keep driving around. I had the crab cake Benedict which was really good! The waitress suggested roasted tomato but I'm not a fan of tomatoes so I went with no tomato but it's something worth trying if you like them! We tried the monte cristo brioche toast which was okay. Wish the hash browns were crispier. Also tried some drinks that were seasonal and they were just okay, wouldn't get again. Service was fine! Overall it's a solid typical brunch spot.

Been here twice now and both times were great. This location is in a big shopping center so there is plenty of parking. Joining the waitlist on Yelp ahead of time can help minimize your wait there as this place can get pretty busy, especially on a weekend day. Their Benedict's are delicious and I especially liked the side of hash brown they come with. They are crispy and well seasoned. The Omg French Toast is also delicious. Would recommend!

We were able to make last minute rsvp on Yelp for 2 at 1:30pm on a Saturday. There was no wait to get our table and the place was packed. Kudos to them. Our waitress was extremely friendly and service was quick. Food was delicious. I really wanted to try the bread pudding French toast so we will definitely be back.

Snooze does not disappoint, even when going to different locations. Busy but efficient with service and food has such great flavor. Kept it simple with a pork belly kimchi fried rice, bacon but different, and a classic Bloody Mary.

Everything! I ordered the Crab & Asparagus Omelet. It's a delicious, lighter yet filling, protein rich meal. Perfect for International Women's Day! Cage-Free Eggs appear to be readily available at this time!

Some things have changed, but others have not. The fact that I can't get a piece of well done toast is disturbing. Also, the garden harvest omelette has raw vegetables. They should be cooked a bit more.

Place is so cute!.... Next to the campus so they're busy.....we went on a Monday and it was at least 11a and still it was busy.... Trendy & a full bar of cocktails ‍ I was just interested in breakfast. ... Everything was delicious....

a popular brunch spot in the area. can get pretty busy on a sunday brunch hour, you can sign up for the waitlist on yelp. they offer you hot coffee while you're waiting. once seated, we were given menus promptly, the inside is very loud and it's packed! our waitress was nice but very rushed and flustered. the food was alright, your typical brunch food! but it was yummy. i found the hot cocoa pancakes interesting!! the chorizo had a slight weird flavor to it. overall it was alright, don't know if i'd wait an hour for this place

Snooze is a solid spot for breakfast or brunch. The food is good, and the menu offers a nice variety, so there's something for everyone. I've been here a few times, and the experience is consistently decent. The service is friendly and efficient, and the vibe is laid-back and welcoming. While nothing particularly blew me away, it's a reliable choice when you're in the mood for classic breakfast fare or creative

Do not miss eating here. Incredibly delicious flavors. I had the half hamy eggs Benedict. Their hollandaise sauce was the best with a touch of Smokey flavor. Min-Friday $5 mimosas.. the Mmm mmm mimosa a must. Ask for Tim- he went above and beyond.

The food is consistently delicious, the service excellent and you can't beat the San Diego sunshine (or shades, if that's your presence) when dining on their patio

10/10 We had the pumpkin pecan pancakes and they were SO good! I had the salsa verde Benedict and I would totally get them again. Hash browns were full of flavor. They sat us down not even 5 min after we arrived. Service was great our server came out and was very nice. He even got us a cup for my daughter. The place was a little loud but I think it's background noise from people talking and the music.

Between 4 people we shared 3 dishes: - The pork belly fried rice - The hash brown entree - The bread pudding They all entered the clean plate club. We got our fix of both sweet and savory, and everything was delicious.

Loved the decor, very mid century with a googie twist. Service was ok, waitress wasn't overly friendly and didn't say too much, but the food was delicious. We got a flight of pancakes, which were all amazing along with a Benedict which was outstanding. Coffee was good, music was good. Overall a great experience.

I've been meaning to stop by Trader Joe's, so I decided to try Snooze for breakfast since it's nearby. It's in a great location with plenty of parking. There was no wait on a Thursday morning at 9:30 AM. We were seated immediately, and the service was good throughout the meal. We opted for outdoors seating. The menu is extensive with a wide variety of both sweet and savory options. I started with the Super Greens juice, which was tasty and refreshing. I ended up getting the corned beef hash with this week's speciality pancake (which included banana, bacon, and a peanut butter(?) sauce), while my friend got the crab and asparagus omelet. The hash was a bit salty, though that's usually pretty standard for corned beef. The eggs were cooked with the yolks perfectly runny. On the other hand, we had mixed feelings about the pancake and omelet. The sauce on the pancake tasted strange; I'm not really sure how to describe it. I did enjoy the fluffy texture, though. The omelet also tasted like it was lacking something, and the hollandaise didn't complement the omelet very well. My friend also didn't enjoy the dressing on her greens. Overall, I think there are better places for breakfast/brunch that are more worth it for their prices. This wouldn't be my first choice, but honestly, maybe I'd come back to try the other pancake flavors.

This is a busy eatery for breakfast. I had the 3 egg omelet with rye bread and a side of the seasonal pancake:pumpkin. The omelet tasted dry and without cheese(i assumed it came with it) it was pretty bland (i had spinach and onions inside). The hashbrown came out thick like they were formed from the hollow of a tuna can. The inside of the hashbrown was almost like mashed potatoes with the outside a little crispy. Not a fan of a super soft potato. The bread was thick and good. The pancake was sweet and tasty with the middle having a dollop of cream cheese inside. My brother had the corned beef hash which he said was "ok". The side of fried rice (doesn't include the egg) was wet for our liking (we're from Hawaii). Overall this place was just ok for us being from the Hawaiian islands but it's clean, spacious and a family breakfast area.

Uh... I was not expecting to like this place at all, honestly. I've been to their locations in Denver, and they were all just meh. This location... it must be the California air... or the La Jolla rent, but their food was great! The poached eggs on my barbacoa chile verde Benedict were cooked perfectly. The barbacoa was cooked well, but definitely under seasoned. Husband's portion of the pork belly fried rice was realllly good but soooo small. I actually thought it was a side. But the pancakes were good and I don't even like pancakes like that! We got the pineapple upside down, strawberry shortcake, and cinnamon bun flavors to share with the table. The butter on top with cinnamon, wow, *chef's kiss*.

I'm a fan boy. Best breakfast on the Block! I bring my dogs here regularly. I invite my lady to climb out of bed and join me. COFFEE! I get the Black Coffee with Whole Milk. They have fufu sweet coffees, but I choose to avoid sugar. 3 Eggs, 3 Bacons, 1 Chicken Sausage for my big boy, Snugglemonster. The omelets are also great. Treat yourself! Every staff member is friendly! They love dogs so I know they're good people. The manager came by just to meet my dog. Chill, 80s music, nice patio, clean restaurant. Nice restroom, but the floor is waxed. Watch your balance!

Great food The kimchi rice is fantastic The rotating pancake of the month are always good - I had the holiday one. Standard prices in-store. Great offers for rewards members. Nice ambiance. Super friendly staff

Awesome people, great food, fast service, what more could you ask for? Love that they open early and greet you with smiles and warmth - good ambiance even for single diners.

Very busy on weekends so get in the wait list or eat at the bar. Many, many great GF options - pancakes, sandwiches, etc! My go-to is their Hash but I've never been disappointed with what I've ordered.

You can never go wrong with Snooze. The Barbacoa Chile Verde Benedict is one of my favorite meals in San Diego. It's always incredible and such a unique way to serve eggs Benedict on top of tortillas instead of English muffins. The line is always long for a table so I recommend checking into the Yelp wait list prior to getting to the restaurant.

The double bacon breakfast sandwich at Snooze is so good, it should come with a warning: May disappear faster than you can take a picture. One second it was on my plate, and the next--poof! Just crumbs and regrets. I'd share a photo, but all I captured was the aftermath of my snack attack. As for the outdoor dining, it's a nice vibe but could use some extra shade--my sandwich wasn't the only thing baking in the sun. That said, the service was spot-on: super polite and so quick they probably saw my food vanishing act coming. 10/10 would inhale again...with sunscreen next time.

Ordered for pick up only to find that the avocado on my bravocado toast started rotting with some black parts... Really disappointed in the quality of ingredients as my husband and I have enjoyed Snooze without issue in the past. Also looks like it was just thrown together in assembly. Do not recommend.

Food (5/5 stars): I finally tried Snooze, an AM Eatery, a popular brunch chain with locations in the San Diego area. Eggs Benedict is my favorite thing to order for brunch and I was so happy they had their "Benny Duo" because I got to try two different styles of their Benedicts. My favorite was the Habanero Pork Belly because it was so flavorful--the cranberry relish was a nice touch! I just wished the pork belly was a little more tender. I also enjoyed the Bella Bella because I love prosciutto. Experience (4/5 stars): * Price: a little pricey * Wait Time: none because we made a reservation * Service: very good * Parking: they have a parking lot * Ambiance: I love the retro theme and appreciate how queer-forward it is!

You NEED reservations if you want to dine in on a weekend, or else you'll be waiting close to 1.5 hours - unless you get lucky and snag a spot at the bar like we did. Overall, everything tasted pretty great, and the staff was friendly. Huge fan of the mix and match Benedict's.

First, I must say the hostess was incredibly rude. She ignored me. She wouldn't respond to me when I told her I joined the waitlist online. She rolled her eyes and pointed to seats outside without telling me even how much longer it would be. She was rude walking us to our table and rude on the way out. I don't know what her deal was. The only reason I am giving this restaurant high stars is because the waitress was wonderful and the food was outstanding. To be honest, I will not come back to this location because I shouldn't be treated like this. Rethink who you have in the front of the restaurant, it matters. I will go to a different Snooze location and will always get the pork belly benny's. They were amazing.

Seated and served quickly. Open spaces at the bar. High energy, busy lunchtime. Cute decor. Outdoor patio. Strawberry Lavender Lemonade - fresh strawberry, lots of lavender, summery, sweet and tart Chilaquiles (summer menu) - filling, savory, perfect eggs sunny side up, loved the tomatoes on top, good flavors

I'm honestly not a breakfast person so I was kind of blown away by this feast (on a Friday morning!!) My friend and I got the Smashed Avocado Benny and Monte Cristo Brioche Toast, which was a perfect combination of sweet+savory. Both breads had a crispy, rich cheesiness to them that paired so well with the ham and eggs. I also love myself a good salad with fruit and candied walnuts, and of course, perfectly fried hashbrowns with ketchup and salsa (for a lil kick!). Everything just complemented each other in terms of flavors and textures, and the service was lovely as well.

We had breakfast with 18 from our office and the food was great and the service was exceptional. Make sure you ask for Josie. She is the best of the best. Woody was fantastic as well.

We love snooze! It was our first time at this location and we loved it :) We made a reservation for sunday morning - I highly recommend getting on their list, there was a bunch of people waiting outside! We were seated immediately and the staff was great, our waitress was really attentive and had a warm personality. We ordered the corned beef hash, french toast and belai benny. Everything came out quickly and it was all delicious. I will say that 1 plate per person is the right amount of food, these portions aren't really enough to split. Overall a great and consistent brunch spot. I will be visiting again!

Came here for the first time for Mother's Day and had such a good time! I anticipated it would be busy so I joined the waitlist extra early, and we arrived right in time! I was pleasantly surprised with the Mother's Day decor, which made the brunch feel extra special. They gave out face masks to the moms celebrating as well. There's also some mini games outside if you get bored! The staff were friendly and accommodating. They checked up on us frequently which I appreciated. There's outdoor eating and it's pet friendly. As for the food, I had the Bella Bella Benedict and this might be my favorite Benedict yet! The toast was crunchy and the balsamic added a unique and acidic touch. I will definitely be coming back!

Stopped into snooze while staying in San Diego. Upon entering the location gives you retro diner vibes, with simple colors and throw back booth cushion styles. The menu has lots of options for breakfast sandwiches, french toasts, pancakes & more. Since I attended with my husband and friend I got to see and taste a few dishes. My friend returned for the bread pudding French toast, which was delicious. Definitely for those who enjoy sweet but I can say I enjoyed the taste and the not so mushy texture of the bread pudding with a French toast twist. My husband had a pork belly Benedict that was smoky, tender and delicious paired with hollandaise on an English muffin. My dish was breakfast tacos with breakfast sausage. Three tacos, super filling and loved that they offered great hot sauce options to take them to the next level. Service was great, super friendly and very attentive. We all left full and content ready to take on the rest of the day. Would definitely recommend and try other menu items on another visit.

I am always seated within 5 mins whenever I come to this exact location. I have yet to try anything on the item that I didn't like. Their portions are pretty big and shareable. The staff is friendly and very attentive. I always get the hot chai latte to drink. It's my favorite drink there. This location is located in a shopping plaza so there is plenty of parking. There is seating inside and outside.

Great service, amazing food and friendly staff. The strawberry pancakes were a sweet treat to end our brunch.

Cute interior but food was only ok. There were a lot of good reviews so I was really excited to try it, however, unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. We ordered the breakfast taco, breakfast burrito, and a side of hash browns. I liked the breakfast burrito the most out of the three. Overall, flavor was lacking. The breakfast taco tortilla was soggy. The breakfast taco eggs were rough. The hash browns were soft and mushy. I wish it was crunchier. Thankfully, there was a wide variety of hot sauce options to add some type of flavor. It was really crowded so service was slower, which is understandable. To be honest, I would not go out of my way to come here again. However, if it was less crowded and I was hungry in the area, I'd be open to trying out more items on the menu.

Came for a company celebratory breakfast and had a wonderful experience! Rolando took care of all 25 of us with such ease and kindness!! Woody was also great!!

We brought a large work group here for breakfast and Rolando was amazing! He took care of 25+ people and did great! Food was delicious and the staff was quick!

I went to the Snooze, an A.M. Eatery in La Jolla for the first time and really liked it. I went to the Del Mar/Carmel Valley pretty frequently and was so sad to see it close. I usually go for french toast or pancakes when I go to Snooze but I figured since I was trying a new location, I'd go for it. I got the Barbacoa Benny (See Picture) and it was ok. The meat was cold... which threw me for a loop but it wasn't bad. It's always nice to try. Our server took good care of my friend and I, I wish I'd gotten their name. Both of us enjoyed our food and I was sad to see they no longer have the Suja juices (at first) but once I tried their new green juice I recovered quickly. It was tasty and refreshing. Every time I come here with someone, they always order the Honey Oatmilk Latte and love it. It seems to be a fan favorite. I like the patio at this location, it's pretty quiet and clean. In general, it was a nice experience. I'm sure if I'd asked, they would've heated up my Benedict or gotten me a new one but that was probably my fault. On a separate note, the host was very kind and quick. I would recommend.

Decent place to get lunch at with a big group! My party of 7 was seated within a 10 minute wait on a Saturday afternoon. The weather was sunny so we were seated outside. Their menu has a huge selection from sweet to savory to a wide variety of drinks ranging from alcohol, coffee, and juices. I got the Habanero Pork Belly Benny and it was good! I'm personally not the biggest fan of the way they do their hash browns, it was served like a patty and was very mushy. The time it took for the majority of our dishes to come out was an appropriate amount of time; however, one of my friend's dishes did not come out the same time as ours and it took quite a bit longer for his dish to come out - to the point where he had to ask them about his order. Our waiter could have at least given him a notice that his meal was going to come out later. Other than that, my friends and I were pretty content after the meal. Our waiter gave us stickers after we paid for our meal which was a fun plus :)
