This is a review of Snooze, not a treatise against brunch. Not that I haven’t fallen into one of those categories before.īut, I digress. And, of course, people looking to get drunk before “This American Life” has signed off.
OMG FRENCH TOAST SNOOZE HOW TO
Unless it is one of those sleepy-eyed, tousled-hair morning-after-date situations, in which case, you’d probably be happy eating from a trough.Ī standard brunch is perfect for children, people either too hungover or too lazy to cook, and young adults who haven’t figured out how to cook an over-easy egg or toast bread.
And, if you’re reluctantly meeting a date for brunch, it would be hard to misconstrue the meal as romantic. Brunch also doesn’t take as long as dinner. I will admit, there are a few benefits to brunch: You can share a meal with people about whom you may have ambivalent feelings without wasting precious evening hours. But it also doesn’t convey that your wait may be up to two hours on the weekend and that you may end up standing on a concrete sidewalk outside during parts of said wait. And, in Austin, this Neverland of a town populated by many a bearded Peter Pan, Snooze has found a perfect fit.
The breakfast-brunch chain launched in Denver a decade ago and has since expanded to California, Arizona and Texas. Some maintain cheery smiles, others sip coffee and a few stare around the packed restaurant with hangry looks in their eyes as they all seemingly wait for a table.įile this video under two headers: 1) A disincentive for me to want to visit the restaurant 2) Truth in advertising. You can even do a Benny Duo and do two half portions of any benedict on the menu.īrrr!!! I always enjoy it when a cold front comes through town, then I’m just as glad when it’s gone 48 hours later.The background video on the home page of Snooze’s website features a group of about a dozen people swirling around the restaurant’s host stand. Some other favorites from their menu are the Pancake Flight (3 of your choice!), the OMG! French Toast, and almost any of their Benedicts. Plenty of Yellowbird Sauce at each table! Yum! Rosemary sausage gravy, flaky pastry, a sunny side up egg on top, and hash browns on the side. (Don’t worry, he likes it when I steal his food….) That was Nate’s dish I just ended up stealing some of it. I was in a savory sort of mood this day, so I tried the Snooze Breakfast Burrito, stuffed with eggs, hash browns, black beans, jack and cheddar cheese, and smothered in a tomatillo-based sauce and pico. I mean, sure, it jumps 30 up or down in a day, but I’m pretty sure the weather has done that in every city I’ve ever lived in! We all just like to think our city is extraordinary in the weather department 😉 It’s cool. Side note: isn’t it funny how we love to say “ the weather in our town is so unpredictable!” as if that’s something special…haha. It was freezing in Austin on the day we ate here (<- ha…don’t get to say that very often!), so I started with a big cup of hot cocoa! Snooze has some yard games like jenga and cornhole for guests who are waiting! It’s just a popular spot! If you want to avoid a long wait, I’d recommend getting there earlier in the morning. When I’ve stopped in on a weekend, the wait can be 1-2 hours, and on a weekday the wait is more like 10-15 minutes. Good job, Snooze!īoth Austin locations are open 6:30AM-2:30PM. They’re interested in promoting education and sustainability, and along these lines, Snooze makes sure to source lots of their ingredients locally. One of the reasons I think Snooze is so cool is that they return 1% of their sales back to the community in the form of goods (pancakes!) and services. If I were to compare it to a local Austin chain, I would definitely say Kerbey Lane….both but emphasis on their huge variety of pancakes, offer lots of egg dishes, and are family-friendly! The biggest difference is that Kerbey Lane is open 24 hours and offers more lunch and dinner options, while Snooze definitely defines itself as “An AM Eatery.”
Lamar (Snooze has 17 locations in CO, CA, AZ, and TX, with 6 more in the works!). I was so excited when Snooze made its way to Austin in May 2016. I had spent 8 weeks playing in a summer orchestra in Breckenridege (umm…best summer ever!) and was about to make the long drive back to Texas….but not before brunch! I woke up at 3 am instead of 5 am so I could meet with some friends in Denver for brunch at Snooze! I love my brunch so much!
The first time I went to Snooze AM Eatery was in Denver, CO. I got to get myself organized, do a workout, relax and read at home, check a few errands off the list, and eat brunch! After a few back-to-back weekends of holidays, parties, friends, family, and non-stop busy-ness (don’t get me wrong…I love all of those things!!), it was nice to have a weekend with nothing on the agenda.
