Most breakfast & brunch restaurants start with the same script: eggs, batter, coffee & a big ol’ griddle. We’ve found scripts are a lot like pancakes, they’re best when flipped, so we‚re always looking to turn the best breakfast classics upside-down & on their side. Stop by for delicious pancakes, french toast, benedicts, breakfast burritos, oatmeal, breakfast sandwiches, bacon & more! From paleo to vegetarian & vegan or dairy free & gluten free friendly, we’ll happily accommodate food allergies & diets. We want each morning to feel like your weekend & happy hour rolled into one, so our restaurants feature a full bar with alcoholic beverages. From mimosas to bloody marys, margaritas & local craft beers, we’ve got cocktails & brews covered!
Vibrant, retro chain serving a seasonal menu of creative breakfast & lunch fare, plus cocktails.

Reviews
Oddly enough the food was good. The burrito was ginormous but very flavorful. Kudos to our waiter James for recommending that I use the smoked cheddar cheese sauce. All of the pancakes were light and fluff. Even with all of the toppings, surprisingly enough the pancakes were not overly sweet. The vegan pancakes were our favorite. My only complaint is that our food did not come out hot. More lukewarm than anything.
We will definitely be back again!
I really enjoy their food, too! This time I got the Bella Bella Benny (without prosciutto) and the smashed avocado Benny duo. The balsamic glaze of the Bella Bella makes my mouth water just thinking about it and I’m happy it comes with greens. My companion was so pleased with his crab and asparagus omelette so much so that he wanted all of us to taste it. Our third person liked the customizability of the 3 egg omelette and enjoyed what he got. We also ordered a single strawberry shortcake pancake for the table to share and that was heavenly to me. Delicious!
The parking lot is large and it’s easy to find parking.
I checked in on Yelp, but we ended up sitting at the bar, 2 amazing servers took care of us. Seems like they Will accommodate your most picky need! The drinks were perfect, don’t judge because the alcohol was pouring.
The only thing was that the English muffin arrived almost half hour after my friend’s plate was served- but it was extremely busy and we were notified that the kitchen staff had a lot of new staff.
Will most definitely go back when in Chapel Hill
It’s all the fabulous food and superb service snooze has been delivering in Colorado since 2004.
I recommend the pancake flight with the best being the pineapple upside down they’ve had since the beginning.
They always have great Benedict’s and breakfast burrito.
Special call out to Mehr who made us feel welcome and helped us spot a new favorite on the menu. You must order the bread pudding French toast!
We were taken to a small table that’s pretty close to an occupied table with 2 people in a cramped area; Despite Snooze’s large and open space with a nice outdoor seating and a bar (probably the largest restaurant in Eastgate), it seems that there is a spacing issue, and it looks like there was only 1 waitress assigned to our section. She said her name is Baj, and I’ll talk about her customer service later, but first: the food!
I ordered the Barbacoa Chile Verde Benny & my girl ordered the Smashed Avocado Benny & we got a blueberry pancake for us to share. Orders arrived in about 12 min., which is relatively fast considering Snooze’s busy brunch time.
It was my first time trying a Benny with Barbacoa (shredded beef – Mexican barbecue style), and the meat tasted as what I expected from a Barbacoa dish, and there was a fine amount in my Benny. Instead of English muffin, this one has a layer of tortilla in the bottom. The green chile sauce, melted cheese. green chile hollandaise, pico de gallo & cotija cheese all create a Mexican twist to a typical Benedict, but after trying this, I think I still prefer a typical Benny with ham, English muffin, etc,.
There was issue in my order: 1 of the 2 eggs it came with was cooked too long, so it’s more like a hard-boiled egg than a poached one, so I told Baj about it, and a manager came to check what the problem was. She asked what wanted, replacing the one wrongly-cooked egg is just fine, and she said they could do that, so I received the 1 replacement egg. I ended up eating that 1 egg by itself because I already devoured the rest of the Benny while waiting.
Other than that mistake, the brunch Bennys were generally satisfying with a healthy amount of well-baked hashbrowns on the side. My girl enjoyed her Smashed Avocado Benny, which looked quite healthy, with large slices of tomatoes, just the right amount of avocado & everything else. The $6+ blueberry pancake we shared was fine but they did not serve enough syrup, and the server did not even bother to ask if we need anything else, so we weren’t able to ask for more.
Snooze’s customer service clearly needs improvement. While server Baj seemed friendly at first, she didn’t accommodate our needs well – we had to call her to get water refills and ketchup for our hashbrowns. Not even once did she ask if we needed anything else like that pancake syrup! As for our bill, she just silently placed it on our table, making us wonder what she just put, while she took orders from the customers beside us. When we were ready to pay, she just put the payment device in front of us, and she seemed to be more cheerful doing that than actually serving us well. I was thankful that she called the manager about the egg issue, and that the manager was able to resolve it well, but overall, the customer service is just disappointing.
It’s not easy to find a good Benny in Chapel Hill, so I still think it’s a blessing to have Snooze, a nice brunch spot with quality breakfast and a vibrant ambiance. If you prefer alcohol with your brunch, Snooze’s bartender can serve that to your table. The outdoor seating is also nice but there were no customers there despite the short line of waiting ones while we were seated there. I wouldn’t say that we will never return here, but probably not anytime soon. We are willing to go farther to get a better breakfast/brunch experience with professional customer service.
