Snooze

We have been passing by this peculiar place for some time now.

No matter what day it is they always have a line spilling out the door and out onto the street. Today (an average Wednesday) we decided to take a closer look. We arrived at approx 11am and sure enough there was a line out the door and we were given a 20-25 min wait time. Something kind of nice is that they have a coffee station set up right there and you can grab some coffee while you wait. I looked at some of their info and apparently the owner visited Guatemala at some point and fell in love with the coffee. So Snooze serves Guat...for your typical restaurant coffee this is on the side of better than the average. For coffee geeks....it's restaurant coffee ya know, but it's still above average for what is out there.

As we waited a very cool surprise was heading our way. We received a  complimentary pineapple upside down pancake to sample and sample it we did...

This pancake is nothing short of fantastic. The creme sauce along with the slight cinnamon butter and  pineapple chunks....fantastic! This will not be the last time I have one of these bad boys and I suppose that is the intent of the "free taste". ;)

Man oh man, that creme sauce is the bomb!


Anyhow, we demolished the pancake in 47 seconds and after a refresh on the coffee the brunch event was about to hit the main stage.

I should mention this place is a little disorienting in it's ambiance. The decor is straight 50's Americana but the menu has a lot of modern and French infusion concepts so there is a bit of an off balanced presentation but they pull it off fantastically and it's enjoyable from start to finish. That being said I had a very difficult time in deciding what to try for my first visit and in the end it was a pure coin toss selection. Lucky for me this is certainly a heads I win tails I win type of toss because I seriously doubt there is an item on the menu that isn't delicious.

Here is the Snooze signature breakfast pot pie. A puff pastry (a brilliant example by the way) with their homemade rosemary sausage gravy and a sunny side up egg on top and hash browns on the side.

Eh, it was ok...... are you kidding me? Look at it....it was killer!!

By this time it was obvious why there is almost always a line going out the door to this place. They close up shop at 2:30pm so supply is limited... demand is high. The result is you will probably be waiting to get in.


I'm giving this place a highly recommended status.
