Snooze AM

Oh my GOSH!!! DELICIOUS!!! Everything was perfect!!! The atmosphere was amazing and the staff were super friendly! The mocha was perfect, just the right amount of sweet with the most amazing coffee I have ever tasted! The mmmm mmmm mosa was sooo good! I have found my breakfast spot! I might even make this like a tradition! I will go broke and get fat eating here and I am not ashamed!

Outstanding food. Sunday brunch was very good. Prices aren’t too bad. The Coffee Doughnut Pancakes are really good. The Chilaquiles Benedict was good, but hoped for better. You know when I restaurant goes the extra mile for quality, Snooze AM does that. Hipster ambiance, which isn’t my style, but I don’t mind it either. Will be back soon!

Been here for several times and always love their French toasts. Try banana one, I think it is better than strawberry French toast.

I was looking for a good pancake spot so I invited some friends to join me at Snooze for early breakfast. As a newer location, the décor resembled their other restaurants. The signatory yellow light fixtures corresponded with a good number of round tables. The structure also facilitated a row of stools facing the large windows, and a full bar in the back. By extension, the sidewalk patio added character and spaciousness to the restaurant. Fortunately, we arrived early enough and did not have to wait for a table.
The Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup ($ 7.50) came with a conventional bread and cheese sandwich, tomato soup, and hash brown. There was a light crunch on the bread, but not enough cheese to translate into that gooey experience I was looking for. For the price, I was expecting better value and taste on the sandwich. The tomato soup was rich, hearty, and had a slight kick in the end. The hash brown was soft and needed more crispy edges. It was not the best grilled cheese, but it did hit the spot.
The Pancake Flight ($ 9) came with our choice of blueberry pancake, sweet potato pancake, and the chocolate ganache pancake. All three of us agreed the sweet potato pancake was the most impressive, as the buttermilk and caramel flavors accompanied a touch of ginger butter and handfuls of pecans tossed on top. The server endorsed the blueberry pancake, but it tasted rather conventional. I wished there were wholesome blueberries embedded, and that these pancakes were easier to cut into. The dark chocolate ganache concoction was without depth and the least impressive.
Service was very sporadic and not warm or welcoming as I expected of breakfast places. Overall, the food were nowhere close to the experience I previously had at their sister restaurants. The food hit the spot but there was no wow factor whatsoever. Additionally, I thought the execution on the Grilled Cheese was very poor for the price and a restaurant of this caliber. The server also gave approval to a blueberry pancake that was rather sub par. Overhyped. I will not be coming back.

Such an awesome selection of food and always high quality. Their soy chai’s are amazing! If you haven’t been… You should! Your tummy will thank you.

I tried their flight of pineapple, sweet potato, pumpkin! Their pancakes are definitely unique and all other breakfast items looks pretty good. The service was good even it was very busy in morning. I would like to re-​visit this place.

I’ve been here so many times and I always leave with a happy stomach. Warning: There is always an extremely long wait on weekends.
When I went today, I got the pancake of the day which was a strawberries and white chocolate one (you can order single pancakes). It was super fluffy and I got a bite of strawberry with each bite. I also ordered the BEAT sandwich, and the bacon tomato aioli was to die for. The ciabatta bread was nice and soft, and overall it was delicious.
My all time favorite pancake is the sweet potato one. Whenever I bring someone new there, I force them to try it and they never regret it. If you prefer french toast, I highly recommend the OMG French Toast because it is amazing.

Stopped in for breakfast/​lunch before a Monday afternoon tour of ASU (new «Future Sun Devil Welcome Center» is right across the street). Our group did both sweet (pancake flights– both highly recommended the Drunken Punk’n option) and savory (Havana Daydreaming and B.E.A.T. Sammies). The food was fantastic. Delicious OJ and coffee. Only complaint was that food delivery was slow.
I started to wonder if someone forgot to fire our order given the number of guests that arrived at the same time or after us that not only received their orders but also finished them before we were served. Our server handled it well though and had plenty of time to get to our tour. Will definitely visit again when looking for food in Tempe.

I’ve been visiting Snooze AM for awhile now and I’m ready to write a review. I will say this, sometimes I get a four star experience (food is good and service is helpful and prompt) while during other visits the experience is one star or less (food is good but service is horrible [non existent] and very slow).
When I visit during the week, the service is great. The servers are helpful and I always have water in my glass (a marker of good service). The food is also usually very prompt.
During the weekends, the servers are friendly (when they are there) but they don’t come back and sometimes mix up your order.
All in all, the food is always reliably good and often very rich. However, the service can be good or bad depending on the day of the week.
I suggest going during the week when there are less people while during the weekend there are long waits and spotty service.
For lack of constituency of experience, I give two stars.
Things I’ve had:
3 Eggs Any Style (Made my order perfect)
Breakfast Pot Pie (very very very rich, lots of cream)
Snooze Breakfast Burrito (my favorite, large burrito and the flavor is very universally appealing)
Green Eggs ‘n Hamwich (Delicious)
Sister Fig’s French Toast (too sweet)
Fall Greens (lovely light meal)
House Coffee (not strong coffee)
Choice Mimosa (for me YES!)

Ordered 2 breakfast burritos —
One of them had ranchero sauce which taste basically like tomato paste — no flavor at all, no spice at all.
The other was ordered with green chile — equally lacking in flavor but better than the ranchero.
The green chile burrito was also ordered with avocado, a 2.50 cost, and there was no avocado present in the burrito at all.
Both burritos contained more black beans than any other ingredient — there were maybe 1 – 2 scrambled eggs in each burrito but how could you taste the egg when every bite contained mostly black beans?
Both burritos had hashed Browns in them, however, my definition of hash browns is crispy fried potato strings and these were virtually raw sliced potatoes with not a single bit of brown showing on them.
For my total cost being 16.50 for the green chile burrito and about 13 for the ranchero this is just a huge huge waste of time and money. I could have eaten at Chelsea’s kitchen and had an amazing chilaquiles with breakfast mimosas for the same price and been far far happier.
Honestly this is the biggest most overhyped breakfast restaurant I’ve encountered with prices that are on par with a resort and food on par with a high school cafeteria.
Save your time and money and go elsewhere.

I ⁵⁄₅ highly recommend Snooze!

I’m not sure how I’m so late to the show here. This place is GREAT. It’s packed as hell, You *will* wait, but it’s worth it.
Great service, awesome old school vibe (it’s like being on the Jetson’s set) and even better is the food.
We split the pancake flight: the Sinful (cinnamon, bacon, pecans), Pineapple Upside Down and the Pumpkin with white chocolate chips and some other stuff. The Sinful was my absolute favorite. This is a huge amount of very very rich pancakes that you could easily share with someone.
We *also* split the breakfast pot pie. YUM. I loved that it was open faced, served on a fluffy, buttery puff pastry. They also top it with eggs, but I detest any runny yolk so I got them scrambled on the side. I loved the pot pie and it wasn’t too too filling (in a good way).
This place has a variety of morning drinks (mimosas and such) and are really reasonably priced.
This will be a regular on my brunch lineup!

After having been to Snooze AM in Tempe twice, my verdict is that it leaves much to be desired.
The first experience I had was absolutely horrible. We waited for about half an hour and were seated on the patio. Although the weather was okay, it got hot really quick since there was absolutely no shade. There were dogs on the patio which is fine, but what did not sit well with me was that the waiters were picking them up and then delivering food to tables. The dog that was at the table right next to ours was small & not trained as he kept peeing on the ground. Like I said, one of the waitresses kept picking him up & playing with him while serving tables. Complete turnoff!
On top of that, the food we got wasn’t impressive. My date got the breakfast burrito & I got the omelette with spinach, mushrooms, & cheese. I ordered white bread and not once, but twice, our waitress brought me sourdough! We aren’t pleased with any of it.
The second time I went, it was with a large group & we opted to get a table inside. The wait time was horribly long but we knew that would most likely be the case. The service was spot on. Our waitress was great in getting us everything we needed, kept our cups refilled, etc. The food was much better. I got the Benny Duo with the Bella! Bella! Benny and the Benny Goodman which came with hash browns. The Benny’s were just okay — the Bella was better than the other one, but the prosciutto has a weird taste as did the salmon lox. Keep in mine their hash browns aren’t of the crispy variety.
I will have to give it up for the pancakes that we received to share! The Pineapple Upside Down Pancake was one of the best things I did ever have! There were chunks of pineapple cooked inside the pancake which was topped with a vanilla sauce & cinnamon butter. I would highly recommend this!!! If you’re a fan of peanut butter, try the peanut butter cup pancake! The flight is really sweet so if you’re looking for something a little bit less sweet, try the French toast!
I think I’ll be returning to Snooze for the pancakes and perhaps the French toast. But probably not this location.

The décor in this restaurant was so cute; it was very retro. The breakfast menu was extensive making it hard to make a decision. We ended up with the breakfast burrito (very good, the green chili made it) and the homemade granola (awesome) along with 1 flight sized pineapple upside down pancake, which was the best pancake I have every had! I also like the option to get a flight of pancakes to try all of their wonderful varieties. The coffee was also very good and our server was very friendly and helpful. I cannot wait to visit AZ and hit this place up again!

By far the best was the Benny Goodman.
Lox style salmon and cream cheese served over toasted rye and topped with poached cage free eggs, cream cheese hollandaise blended with sun dried tomato and caper relish.
Another great item was the sweet potato pancake with caramel and pecans on top… Mmm.

Great find — cool spot by ASU (though the area was crawling with hipsters and basics — one dude in particular was trying waaaaayyyy too hard).
Anyway, cool retro-​atomic interior (including coat/​hat racks) — love it.
On to what’s important.
Coffee — blah blah single source blah backpacking blah south america whatever — good coffee in a big mug with prompt refills — that’s all that matters!
We got a pretty good cross section of the breakfast menu among our party — a flight of pancakes (one blueberry, one sweet potato and one OMG French Toast — all very good, but the OMG French Toast was the winner), a Chilaquiles Benedict, another spicy Benedict, a combo of Sweet Potato pancake and OMG French Toast, a

Excellent chow, friendly/​efficient service, bright and airy setting make for a worthy breakfast experience.
Place was busy on a Friday at 830: 10 minute wait on a table. We opted for the counter, where the service was attentive, even though our server Tori was filling drink orders non-​stop. She made sure we got everything we needed, and she topped it off w/​some tasty beverages, my BMary included.
I had scrambled eggs, hash browns and sausage pattie. Menu says 3 eggs, though the serving looked more like 2. Hash browns were tasty, but not as crispy as iike them, and the sausage was alright. I added pico de gallo to my plate, and it balanced the flavors for me instantly. The rest of the family enjoyed their breakfasts, the pancakes and bfast tacos very well received, and we all left satisfied. I’ll return!
Cheers!

If you take away one thing from this review let it be: PANCAKES.
Inside the restaurant the music is extremely loud plus the abundance of chatter makes it very difficult to hear your brunch mates. Perhaps that makes me sound old, but I don’t get to see these guys all the time so when I do I’d like to be able to converse with them.
Sitting outside isn’t really much of an option in the summer either. There didn’t appear to be much shade or misters to try to beat the heat so unless you enjoy becoming a melted burnt mess inside you go.
The service was alright, but the servers definitely seem overwhelmed with the crowd of people. We barely saw the poor thing who was busy running around. Did I mention the place was slam packed? ‘Cause it was. That being said the wait time to get in was only about 20 mins.
I wasn’t overly impressed with the food I ordered. My potatoes were not crisp. (I like my hash browns to have a crispy seer.) Also, there were some gross soggy pieces of bacon fat in my dish. I took the most of it home and reheated it in a skillet with some butter and that did turn out delicious.
The pancakes are where it is at though! We split a pancake flight and I have to say all 3 different kinds were fantastic! They were light and fluffy and full of flavor. They each were so good individually I don’t think I could even pick one favorite of the bunch. I highly recommend trying the ones we had: Strawberry Fields, Blueberry Danish and Peanut Butter Cup. I have a feeling the rest of the pancakes and the french toast are probably equally was tasty as well.
Oh yeah, did I mention the pancakes? Get the pancakes!

You will want to take a snooze if you fill up on one of these delicious pancake flights and eat yourself into a coma. I came for lunch and ordered breakfast here a few times. They are only open till 2:30 so breakfast/​brunch is all they do and they do it really well.
I have had:
–The B.E.A.T Sandwich — Tender Belly Bacon, fried egg, arugula and tomato with bacon-​tomato aioli on a ciabatta roll.
–Sandwich I Am — Pretzel Roll!!! pretzel roll filled with scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese and a sausage patty, with cheddar hollandaise & house hash browns.
Both of these were delicious. I love the Tempe location and I am glad to have another place to put in to my lunch rotation.

I’m so glad they opened one in Tempe!
Came here for brunch and everything was perfect. The weather was nice, we got a seat on their lovely patio.
I ordered the 3 eggs omelette. Onions, ham and mushrooms for me. I should’ve put some sort of their sauce on it. However, it was delicious either way. I can’t believe they have a caramel apple mimosa! Um what?! It was sweet and delicious and tasted like a caramel apple.
Everything was great, and the service was good. It took about 30 minutes for us to get a table though, and they don’t take reservations.
