Aiseen ReyesJune 4, 2016OMG French Toast is to DIE for! Had to wait 75 minutes for a table but totally worth it! Waited by the bar drinking the complimentary coffee. The bacon, corned beef hash... EVERYTHING was AMAZING!

Amy Laurel HegyJuly 3, 2013Only week day 8a breakfast in Hillcrest I found. Plenty of bar seating with comfy chairs. Parking is tough north of University so grab a spot just south and walk the 1/2 blk. Plenty of spots there.
DenetteApril 14, 2014This place. Love! Exceptional service. Gluten free pancakes. Breakfast pot pie, Chilequiles Bene, p-but butter pancake, almond rasp pancake, mimosa, best bloody! Come to eat and love food w/friends!
Roshel AghassiFebruary 17, 2018This place is AMAZING. Great music and the food is to die for and super affordable. Must order: OMG French Toast to share, the BEAT Sandwich, Corn beef and hash, and spicy Bloody Mary.
Noel ClarkeJuly 26, 2016Popular and good vibes. a Loud, young breakfast spot. Great food and nice staff in a nice vibrant area of the city. Good place to stop if heading to SanDiego zoo as well.
Matt WelchJune 24, 2020That sweet potato hash, with sunny side eggs, and (in-house) habanero salsa was ridiculously tasty!!! The coffee here was really good too! A very satisfying experience. Glad we stopped by!
Alfred AvilaNovember 15, 2014This place was amazing!!! The service was awesome! Our server Monica even sent over a cinnamon roll pancake for us to try on her!!! It's definitely worth the wait!❤️❤️❤️
Laura WongJuly 16, 2015I love snooze. Everything on the menu is to die for. Great eggs benny and I love the potpie. Come early the wait is always long. Good am drinks too
Kimberly QAugust 15, 2014Seriously the best pancakes I've ever had ever. Definitely get the pancake flight which allows you to try multiple flavors of pancakes! They also let you choose two Benedicts on one plate! Perfect!
Becka BSeptember 2, 2013Cinnamon roll pancakes are no joke. All pancakes can be made gluten free . Breakfast tacos are HUGE...and amazing. Also try the breakfast pot pie (not GF)...tip: recipe on the wall by bathrooms :).
Ainee TinyApril 12, 2016Oh my god french toast always a good choice. Fresh strawberries, mascarpone, coconut etc. It doesn't dissapoint.
Camilla WellsMarch 28, 2018Snooze in Hillcrest is one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Not only was the food amazing, but the atmosphere was great. Our waiter was wonderful. If you're in San Diego you can't miss it!!
MohammedMarch 27, 2016Chilaquiles Benedict is a great breakfast to start your day. OMG French toast is a must!
Marisa MoranOctober 28, 2015Bloody Mary's are good add the pickle juice to the spicy one. Yummmm all food is great! Take advantage of half orders especially if you can't make up your mind between dishes- Chris BarclayAugust 31, 2014Free coffee while you wait. Pancake flights are the best way to try three amazing pancakes. The upside down pineapple pancake is my favorite. The OMG french toast is also amazing.
Leena AlRajhiFebruary 20, 2016It was one of the best breakfast I have ever had in San Diego.. Try OMG french toast & cinnamon roll pancakes 👌🏻
Colin LeeApril 24, 2016Come early! We arrived at 830 am and still had to wait 25 mins. Bar seating is available though. We really enjoyed the cinnamon pancake, the chai tea, the pot pie, and early harvest Benny
Anna SipamouaneMarch 3, 2013I got the OMG French toast! Pretty good. Come early on weekends there's a 30-40 minute wait! Good prices, everyone is so friendly. I would definitely come again!
San Diego Architectural FoundationFebruary 3, 2014Fresh with a great street presence and an impressive volume of the space. It engages the sidewalk on both a small and large scale and its warehouse aesthetic has a timeless quality to it.- DenetteApril 6, 2014B-fast pot pie, p-nut butter pancake, Bloody Mary, Chilequiles Benedict, almond raspberry pancake and orange/grapefruit mimosa! All excellent!
Mimi NguyenNovember 26, 2013Try the delicious OMG French toast. It's sweet so I'd recommend sharing. I ordered the chilaquiles benedict which were also awesome. Super fresh salsa and great balance of meat and tortilla.
Where do I start? Let's pay a big YUMMY compliment to Snooze! Great gourmet breakfasts, house blend coffee is a perfect compliment to the atmosphere. Servers are all total cuties with fun attitudes
Tricia BeanOctober 30, 2013This place is AMAZING. Get the pancake flight: tres leches, pineapple upside down cake and cinnamon roll. Also great hash browns. You can't go wrong here. Service is refreshing too!- MohammedMarch 31, 2016Great breakfast spot and not that expensive. The only two things I don't like: waiting time and loud music.
Love the hashbrowns. Takeout is a great option for locals who don’t want to wait. Breakfast burrito and spuds deluxe are faves. Love the coffee too.
Serious EatsNovember 6, 2013This popular spot for breakfast and brunch looks like it belongs in The Jetsons. The vast menu includes bennies, super-sweet pancakes, and lighter choices.
Leah TurkNovember 18, 2014Amazing mimosas, incredible and fun service, the food is almost too perfect looking to eat but once you taste it you can't stop! PANCAAAAAKES!!!
Tim ParksOctober 14, 2015Asking for half portions of two dishes is an excellent way to go. Amazing food and awesome service with a smile. So many delicious dishes it's impossible to pick a favorite.
Poland ShpringsJuly 20, 2018I had the “OMG! French Toast”. It was great! It’s not a huge portion, but it’s enough. Caramel at the bottom of the toast did the trick!
Sha SugandaFebruary 24, 2013Amazing brunch place. I live in New York but every time I come to Sam Diego, this is a must place to go for brunch. Pineapple upside down pancake and hmm mimosa are to die for!
Amazing place, it's hard to choose one item. Ask about half orders of French toast or eggs Benedict. That way u can try two different ones
Get the Snooze Spuds Deluxe with hash browns covered in jack cheese and an egg and add avocado, pico de gallo and goat cheese. Worth the 2 hour wait.
Chinda GneanMarch 31, 2013Get the French toast! "OMG! French Toast Fresh brioche stuffed with mascarpone and topped with vanilla creme, salted caramel, agave soaked strawberries and toasted coconut. OMG. "
BoomDecember 8, 2014Breakfast burrito omg!!! Bigger than my face!! And our barista Julie made is a special cinnamon roll pancake holy wow!'
Sahar AAugust 12, 2016You have to try the Peach Cobbler/Pie pancake! Do the pancake sampler or swap (small upcharge) the toast that comes w/ your eggs.
Snooze serves Colorado's delicious Bhakti Chai, a fresh-pressed ginger chai that tastes great in a Dirty Chai (soy chai latte with a shot of espresso). Doooo it.
Wesley KeyserJanuary 2, 2014Off menu they have a "sinful pancake." It's a major sugar rush with bacon, pecans, butternut sauce and just incredible. Order that and you won't be disappointed!- The staff here is great, always willing to make sure you have a great time. If you can, 18-22% gratuity is a great way to show them you appreciated all their hard work !
Colleen AlexanderNovember 2, 2014Holy moly the paancake flight is the way to go!! Gazpacho Bloody Mary!! Service is super friendly!!
KHALED ALMANSOORIApril 26, 2018Nice place for taking breakfast, I try the omelet , it was amazing and also order OMG French toast, it's very delicious.
Marian WangFebruary 4, 2013Their Lox Ness Benny is fantastic. I also recommend their pancakes, any of their flavors is bound to be good.
Albert PenarejoJune 17, 2013You might get lucky and be the first table with a great server like ours and she hooked up a special surprise cinnamon roll pancake
Nicki EscuderoAugust 20, 2012Grab a mimosa during your wait--their cocktails are super-strong and tasty! For food, the French toast is amazing, and the pineapple upside-down pancakes are to-die-for!
Will SchollJuly 5, 2017Don't wait 2 hours to eat here. Breakfast pot pie was fine but not incredible. Loud pop music & extremely bright makes it feel like the food court at a mall. Julie at the bar was great and hospitable.
Dalal AldhobaibJuly 22, 2019Love the Shakshokah and sweet potato pancake 👍🏻 not a fan of their latte . Egg Benedict was ok.
- Clinton DotsonApril 4, 2014Gazpacho is the bomb. Socialist Pig not so much. Breakfast pot pie is also amazing. Worth the wait for sure. Very reasonable prices.
I got the Ichabod Crane French Toast and it was delicious!! It literally melted in your mouth! I will definitely return!!

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...
