Company Overview
Snooze AM Eatery is a breakfast experience w/ foods hand-crafted & seasonal using many local & organic products. Classic breakfast dishes with creative twists.
Company Description
Most breakfast spots start with the same script: Eggs, batter, coffee, and a big ol’ griddle. At Snooze, we’ve found that scripts are a lot like pancakes – they’re best when flipped. That’s why we do breakfast, but different. From benedicts to bloody’s to whatever you’re feeling at the moment, we’re always looking to turn our food upside down and on its side. As our guests have discovered since 2006, our dishes are anything but regular – and that’s just the way they like it.

But being different doesn’t stop at the plate, it’s the way we do business. Snooze started with two brothers, Jon and Adam, who believed that the only thing better than a full plate was a clear conscience. That’s why with every meal we serve, we’re dedicated to bettering both the communities we live in and the planet we live on. We donate 1% of our sales back to our communities while composting and recycling nearly 90% of our waste. Plus, our ingredients are responsibly sourced from partners who share our passion for a better tomorrow - so you can start your day knowing you’re responsible for making the world a bit brighter.

At Snooze, we want each morning to feel like your weekend and happy hour rolled into one–no matter which side of noon it’s on. We’re the place where you can be you, and where our regulars are anything but. Everyone’s welcome at our table, because the same goes for our people as it does for our dishes: the unexpected twists are what makes them so special.

After all, breakfast this good doesn’t happen every day.*
*Actually, we’re open 7 days a week so technically they do.
