We had such a great experience here at Snooze! This is our local go-to---- we come here about once a week. Today, Adam and Rachel went above and beyond. We were celebrating a graduation, and they really made the day so special. Adam went out of his way to ask when we needed to head out for the ceremony, and brought out a delicious sprinkle-covered pancake on the house. The food was delicious as always, and we were so touched by these sweet gestures. Thank you always, Snooze La Jolla! We will be back soon! read more

They had a special today. It was a Matcha and pineapple pancake, and I usually get the Benny duo but I opted for something a little different and they said it was their special pancake so I couldn't pass up the opportunity to try something new. What surprised me was how this Matcha butter worked so well with the whole pancake. Now the pineapple chunks were a little funky. I don't know if I would put that many in there as they did, but overall the taste with the strawberries and the almonds were pretty good and I would say getting breakfast at snooze is a good four Star experience. The server was great kind checked in on us and I appreciated their attention. Just a note this was a weekday at 8 AM read more

For mother's day, we chose Snooze in La Jolla and we left stuffed. The place has such a cool, upbeat energy and crowded. For drinks, we got Good Morning Margarita which was spot on abd light. If you want something fun and different, the Orange Dreamsicle Float is basically a liquid dessert--so good. We also did the standard coffee and hot chocolate, and both were as we expected For food, must try for the table OMG French Toast. Seriously, "OMG" is right. We got this to share and it was the star of the show. Super rich and definitely hit the sweet spot. Son chose Smash Burger, You gotta add the egg and bacon. It's messy in the best way possible and hits way harder than a regular burger. I had Biscuits & Gravy, Proper comfort food. The gravy had great flavor and the biscuits were nice and soft. Mom chose Garden Omelet and little one chose Egg Quesadilla: These were great, too. The omelet was packed with veggies so it felt a bit "healthier," and the quesadilla was just easy, cheesy brunch fuel. It's definitely a popular spot, so it gets loud and busy, but the food is worth the wait. Great place to grab a big meal before heading out for the day. Just a heads up--get on that Yelp waitlist before you head over! read more

My second time visiting Snooze, and it was a better experience than the first. Joined the waitlist via yelp and it gave a 11 min wait time. Took about 30 mins then the waitlist dropped me without them calling my name. I talked to the hostess and she added me back to the waitlist and we were called. The waitress was very efficient and didn't waist any time getting our order in for coffee and food. The French toast latte looks better than it tastes. It's a typical very sweet latte with not much espresso. The spuds deluxe was my entree of choice and it was ok. The eggs were cooked perfectly and the bacon/avocado were good however their hash browns aren't crispy but more room temp and somewhat soggy. Overall they miss the mark for the hype they get. Of you go, get there early but don't expect the world when the food comes. Gets really busy quickly so expect to wait. read more

I always love Snooze in Arizona. This is my first time at the La Jolla location in San Diego and just like the rest- it did not disappoint. I got the mix and match eggs Benedict duo. My usual is the bella bella benny and one that they didn't have on this menu, so I tried the avocado smash instead and it was good! My friend got the spuds deluxe which looked so good. Also the bacon but different was so good! Our waitress was sweet and gave us good recommendations and was just overall chill and fun to talk to. read more

I remember trying the food here with a friend for the first time around 2pm.. what a great experience. The food is amazing, ESPECIALLY their pancakes!So fluffy, delectable, and not too sweet. The service was great as well, the employees come and check up on you regularly. The ambiance is uplifting, especially if you're having a rough morning. These strawberry shortcake pancakes are sure to lighten up your mood! read more

Snooze La Jolla's breakfast was just what I needed to start my day! The perfect amount to fuel me up, but not make me want to take a nap afterwards! I am simple breakfast girl, but with a flavorful taste. The bacon was a crispy with a great savory flavor. Not greasy and left me wanting more bacon. The eggs were not dry and nicely fluffy. The hash browns were also not dry and were quite yummy. I love sourdough and this sourdough was not overly toasted which was great. I ordered to go, but I was glad the service was quick, pleasant and my food was hot! read more

No wait on a Wednesday lunch. Indoor and outdoor seating both available. Service was friendly and quick! I got The Snooze Classic, which came with 3 eggs your way, protein (chose bacon), hash browns, and toast (chose sourdough). It was solid classic breakfast vibes. I liked the hash browns and sourdough toast the best. Tried some of the Spuds Deluxe as well and it was pretty good. We shared the cinnamon roll pancake (not on the menu) and it was delicious! Definitely on the sweet side and a very indulgent treat. Loved the sweet sauce and pancake texture was great. read more

Excellent service and a diverse menu with full bar in a bright and cheery space. Got the Ham Benedict III and it was pretty good. The muffin was unusually chewy and hard to cut through and there could have been more of their tasty Hollandaise sauce. I didn't really like the chopped and formed thin ham slices which seemed cheap. I ordered the crispy option for the hash browns, but they bordered on burnt. read more

I stopped by Snooze for a solo brunch and it was absolutely worth it. Everything tasted fresh and really well thought out. I ordered the gluten-free sweet potato pancakes and they were excellent. They had a soft, fluffy texture with just the right amount of sweetness from the sweet potato -- not overpowering, just warm and comforting. The outside had a slight golden crisp, and the inside was tender without being dense (which can sometimes happen with gluten-free options). Honestly, you wouldn't know they were gluten-free. I also got the corned beef hash with gluten-free toast. The hash had nicely crispy potatoes mixed with tender, flavorful corned beef. It was savory and satisfying without being greasy. The gluten-free toast was actually good -- properly toasted and not dry or crumbly. To drink, I had a strawberry mocktail that was light, refreshing, and tasted like real strawberries instead of syrup. It paired perfectly with everything. One thing to note: it was very, very loud inside. Definitely a high-energy brunch spot. I had my noise-canceling headphones on, which was a must for me, and that made it much more enjoyable. The waitress was incredibly attentive and asked if I needed anything multiple times. Overall, the food felt high quality and flavorful, and I really appreciated how strong their gluten-free options were. Even going alone, it felt like a great little brunch outing. I'll definitely be back. read more

It was our first time at Snooze yesterday morning for breakfast. I ordered the protein and veggie egg white scramble. It was just okay. The chicken sausage was my favorite part. The scramble itself tasted super watery. It didn't have much flavor. Our service from Malcolm was wonderful though! He was super attentive and checked on us frequently. The major downside was that the wait to actually receive our food was 30 minutes. I understand it was kinda busy, but I think it would be beneficial to at least offer a complimentary food item while waiting so it doesn't seem like so long till the food reaches the consumer. The ambiance was great, but the wait time for food was a major turn off. I'm giving this place 3 stars for the food lacking flavor and the food delivery time for being long. read more

Situation in a very typical La Jolla shopping center. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. I was greeted quickly after entering and seated. I ordered the new French toast latte. It looks cute but the toast on top made lots of soggy crumbs in the coffee. It drank more bitter than I was expecting. For food I ordered the triple protein omelet. It is a large portion that comes with hash browns and toast. It eats very sweet due to the amount of ham. But the use a very generous amount of meat and cheese in the omelet The booth they sat me at was comfortable and I appreciate that the table is moveable. Everything was clean and my waitress checked in enough to be helpful without being overbearing. This is one of many locations and it is what you would expect for snooze, friendly & standard. read more

I had brunch this weekend with a friend and we luckily did not have to wait- we just got on the waitlist prior to arriving. They're usually a pretty sufficient brunch place as there are many brunchy drinks and a fairly large selection of pancakes, waffles and other brunch/lunch items. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available for dine in and the place is decorated in fun loud colors. I had the shrimp and grits and it was pretty good (although not the best grits ever or even close to rise biscuit's chicken n grits). The ingredients were of good quality and the flavor was tasty however I found it a bit wet/too saucy. read more

Snooze has been a favorite destination of mine for more than a decade, I suspect the only reason I've never written a review is because I don't want it to be any busier than it already is? One of the perks of living in southern California is the opportunity to have brunch seven days a week until the middle of the afternoon, which seems to be Snooze's mission. Yelp and the Snooze Mobile App have the ability to place yourself on the waiting list for a table if you're within a certain distance which I've used many times and has saved hours waiting in line over the years when they're busy. When I'm by myself or with one person and we want something quicker the counter is first come first serve. So so many delicious things on the menu: I'll start with what I had today which is the classic eggs Benedict with the side salad - cooked perfectly, the exact right amount of hollandaise sauce, the side salad was dressed perfectly and the pine nuts add some texture and some salt. The classic mimosa really hit the spot. If you like hashbrowns, there's are somewhat unique and delicious. I love that snooze has a single pancake on their menu, which is perfect for 2 to 4 people to take a couple bites if they want, but don't want an entire stack of pancakes. I mentioned the classic mimosa but they offer other juice options for mimosas, and they have a full bar with other breakfast cocktails. I love the palimosa, the mocktails are good, their coffee is very good (ignore that in the photo I am the monster who brings his own Starbucks to breakfast, purely a timing thing today). The service has always been excellent, the place is always clean, no matter how busy it is I feel like I've always had an excellent meal and a great experience. read more

First time at the La Jolla location (used to go to the delmar heights one which closed) - went for fathers day with family. Avoided the huge wait time by signing up in the yelp wait-list. I LOVE that they can make all their menu gluten free. The food was amazing and the service was great. My family and I had a great time. read more

Finally returned to Snooze for an impromptu brunch with some friends and was seriously wow'd. First of all, the yelp feature to get on the waitlist is awesome and I highly recommend people do it. You can see your real-time progress of how many people are ahead of you and the time estimate is accurate. This saved us from having to wait much at all upon check-in after our drive over on a Sunday. FYI the place was PACKED and with a ton of people waiting by about noon. We were asked to move to another table after being seated and treated to their pancake flight (full flight!) which was incredible. I would definitely recommend this as a app for a group. The strawberry shortcake and the cinnamon roll ones were soo soo good (cinnamon prob my fav of the 3). Since we had the flight and I was not super hungry, I opted for the 1/2 order of the bravocado toast. WARNING: they let you get a 1/2 order but the pricing isnt listed. It turned out making it half the meal only took off $2-$3 (cant remember). In terms of bang for buck, poor offering. But in terms of appropriate portion for me, it was right. And something like that doesnt work great as a leftover. Just wanted to bring it up. In terms of customization, they let you combine items if you can't decide. Like 1/2 and 1/2 of the Benedict choices. Which is pretty great. I added on the side of "Bacon but different" which was tasty but felt unnecessary. It was also very candied/sweet. Our server was super attentive and amazing at predicting our needs. She was cool and easy-going and really made for a wonderful brunch experience. Major plus of this location: abundance of free parking due to being in the shopping center. Hillcrest is so much harder. read more

We came on a weekday for brunch so there wasn't a line. The inside is bright and cheerful, and staff were super friendly. We ordered the Denver omelet, the trio protein omelet, and the kid's French toast sticks for my daughter. The omelets were flavorful without being too salty, and it came with hash browns and toast on your choice of bread. I like that you can customize to your liking (egg whites, substituting chicken sausage, etc ). My daughter loved the French toast and I like that the syrup came in a little container on the side so you can control the amount you put on. I would come again to try some other options. read more

A great snooze location! While the plaza itself located in is quite busy, you can always find parking. This location of snooze is very busy itself and we always expect a wait time when going for Brunch (at least on the weekends). Definitely a SD staple for brunch. I've always had fantastic service in the past and luckily, my most recent visit, had the same outcome. My party and I were all greeted and checked on multiple times. Our drinks and food came out exactly right each time. I had their iced matcha and a smashed avocado benny. I absolutely love egg benedicts, and I knew I had to try their avocado benny. The English muffin was a bit dry for me (and I like dry English muffins) and the tomato on it kind of overpowered the rest of the meal. While I enjoy tomatoes, it seemed there was as much tomato as there was English muffin. They did mention a bunch of different seasonings on different aspects of the whole benny, but a good portion was a bit bland. I was given their hot sauce and it did help the benny a lot. The eggs were perfectly poached and the avocado was fresh. Overall I did enjoy it, but it was just not exactly what I was expecting based on the menu description. The house has browns were good but not all of it was crispy (just due to the shape they cook it in). Still good though! read more

I'd snooze on this any day. This is the second time I've had snooze and let me tell you, it's extremely underwhelming. The staff is nice, the wait is short, but the food is not at all good. My husband ordered the Snooze Classic- he said that the ham was good, but the hash-brown and eggs lacked seasoning and taste. I ordered the Spuds Deluxe, with sausage chicken and avocado. For being the main star, the spuds were spuddy... not at all cooked, hard and mushy, with very little crisp or brown to them. The chicken sausage seemed as if they were boiled then just sprinkled on top of the sea of unmelted Jack cheese. read more

There is nothing I can tell you about Snooze that you likely haven't already heard. It is hands down my favorite brunch place in San Diego. The lines are frequently long, but dammit I will wait in those lines so that I can let the sweet nectar and aroma of the OMG French Toast tickle my senses. Do yourself a favor and order one for the table because everyone is going to want to taste this deliciousness. That is what we did on this visit. That allowed me to focus my attention on the Strawberry Shortcake Pancakes. As a small child, Strawberry Shortcake was my favorite dessert and now here they've made it into breakfast. How can I go wrong?!? Too much sweet? This world needs a little more sweet in it right now, so bite into these pancakes and taste the delicious. Our server was awesome and we went on a weekday so there wasn't a long line to endure. Snooze....you had me at hello.....you had me at hello. read more

It tasted like they added a pound of pepper to their hash browns. I got the "sandwich I am" and the sausage also tasted too peppery. The breakfast sandwich didn't taste like anything special.

Favorite brunch place in San Diego! Love how many options there are and how you can customize what you get by adding things as well as how serious they take allergies.

I had an awesome experience at Snooze, an A.M. Eatery. The food was absolutely incredible--everything came out fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. You can really tell they take pride in their ingredients and presentation. From the first bite to the last, it was one of the best breakfast/brunch meals I've had in a long time. What really made the experience stand out though was the service. Our waitress Josie was fantastic. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. She checked in at the perfect times and had great recommendations from the menu. Between the amazing food, great atmosphere, and Josie's excellent service, this place definitely lives up to the hype.

We used the "join waitlist" option online and was able to see how long it would take to be seated along with the list of others ahead of us which was pretty cool! Our party was more than 6 people. It states if you have a party more than 6 to call but once you call I was told we could only make a note that states "we have 7 people in our party" and join the waitlist. They do not take reservations and it is first come first serve Plenty of parking although it can be difficult to find if it is very busy. I love their pancake flight !! We tried the strawberry shortcake pancake, cinnamon roll and Pineapple upside down pancake It was very disappointing that they didn't mention the pancake flight had nuts in it. My nephew is severely allergic to nuts and couldn't even try it yet he was the one that asked for it. He did enjoy his regular pancake meal from the kids menu. The drinks were so delicious !! I remember at one point they offered "happy hour" priced mimosas but I guess they don't anymore. Other than those two disappointing moments it was amazing. read more

While I wouldn't consider this to be quite as good as some of their other locations, like the Tustin one, it is still nonetheless excellent as a breakfast spot. The food is great, high quality, and very tasty of course. I would highly recommend any of the Benedict's, which u consider to be the best options at Snooze, aside from the strawberry shortcake pancake, another standout. My issue though is that it explicitly lacks many menu options found in other Snooze locations, many of which are very good. Service is good, but I felt the food took quite some time, which was a bit of a draw back. However, the staff are nice, fairly attentive, and very responsive. Ambiance is perhaps the weakest factor, due to a high noise level, especially on weekends, and the presence of many young children which, while sometimes cute, can also be quite noisy and ear piercing, as many children are. read more

Snooze has a great diversity of options on their menu including accommodations for gluten free, vegan and dairy free diets. The smashed avocado eggs Benedict was delicious with a generous amount of avocado included. My friend enjoyed the vegan banana bliss pancakes although she mentioned the banana flavor could have been strong. The cinnamon on the cappuccino was a nice touch. We were both disappointed in the signature bacon. It wasn't crispy and was too sweet without that kick of heat promised in the menu description.
