I put in my order (a dish with two different kinds of eggs Benedict) and sipped my coffee. I’m not particular, but I did feel like there was an expectation that I shouldn't waste a table for my singleness. She quickly guided me to the bar where I could sit with the other loners. When I walked in, I asked confidently for a table for one to compensate for the lonely stink following me. On my first day in the city, I took off pretty early to check out the most frequently recommended brunch spots, The Snooze Eatery. I want to kick it all off with a brunch review thrown into a story about aloneness. From the three (!!) brunches I had to the multiple hikes to the introspection of traveling alone to the people I met at the hostel, for the first time in a long time I feel like I have a lot I want to talk about.
#Snooze brunch plus
Not in the mood for breakfast? The Peter Paul Rubens sandwich was terrific, loaded with corned beef, sauerkraut and Swiss cheese and served on a scrumptious soft pretzel roll. To wash it all down, there’s excellent coffee, plus a large selection of boozy brunch cocktails for those – like my friend – who need a little hair-of-the-dog.Īfter our weekday brunch at Snooze, my ailing amigo practically pranced out the door, sustained by Snooze’s good food and good vibes, feeling worlds better and ready for yet another legendary night in the ATX.I came back from Denver creatively energized. Healthful choices include porridge loaded with oats, quinoa, bananas, berries and walnuts. For traditionalists, there’s corned beef hash, perfectly cooked eggs and some of the best rye toast I’ve ever had. There’s also a Pancake Flight where you can sample any three pancake flavors, including Pineapple Upside Down, Sweet Potato, Blueberry Danish and Peanut Butter Cup.įrench toast also comes in a variety of flavors, including the decedent OMG!, stuffed with mascarpone and topped with vanilla crème, salted caramel, strawberries and coconut. Snooze even suggests sampling various items on one plate, like the Benny Duo where you can choose a half order of any two eggs Benedict offerings, such as the Italian-style Bella! Bella! or the southwestern-influenced Chile Verde. Want a half order of pancakes? No problem. to 2:30 p.m., the menu favors brunch favorites, but also offers a few non-breakfast options.Īll the brunch classics have been given a creative twist, but what really sets Snooze apart is its allowance – even encouragement – of customizing your meal.
The formula is simple: good food and lots of it, tasty drinks, friendly service and a cool environment. And in Austin, they adore it any day of the week, any time of day. The success of Snooze is no surprise: people love brunch. They’ve both been packed from the get-go. Austin was rewarded with two Snooze locations, located on opposite ends of Lamar Boulevard, which opened within the same week in June. Two brothers started the restaurant, founding it on civic involvement and donating 1 percent of its sales to local community groups. Austin is its first foray into Texas, with a Houston location opening soon. Snooze originated in Denver a decade ago and now has over a dozen locations in Colorado, Arizona and California. It’s a concept long overdue in a city that hardly relegates its fun to weekends.
Or do they? Say hello to Snooze, Austin’s newest arrival on the breakfast scene, serving up full-blown brunch – that means Bloodys! – seven days a week. But it was Thursday, and nobody serves brunch on Thursday. Eatery with an Updated Diner AtmosphereĪFTER A LONG NIGHT of Deep Eddy Vodka and Dart Bowl, my friend desperately needed a hangover brunch.
