It only takes a moment to

make a difference

Snooze is where good people gather for a great time and even better food. We use the freshest ingredients like cage-free eggs and responsibly raised meat to serve up the boldest eats to fit your craving, every day. From veggie packed omelets that get you freshly fueled or our decadent pancake flight that hits the spot, we've got the dish for you. We're your neighborhood hub for connection, coffee, and so much more. Because for us it's about more than a meal. It's about making every dish, every interaction, and every moment the brightest part of your day.

Snooze started in Denver, Colorado, in 2006 by brothers Jon and Adam Schlegel—its name inspired by Jon hitting snooze on his alarm. From day one, the goal was bigger than breakfast. The brothers built a place rooted in community, initially opening at 2 a.m. to serve late-night crowds while living above the original Ballpark location. Snooze has a culture rooted in hospitality and sustainability with the motto "it only takes a moment to make a difference", and stays grounded in its commitment to creating a space where people can simply be themselves. Today, with nearly 70 locations across 10 states, every Snooze carries that same spirit: fueling good times, great food, and mornings worth waking up for. Because the best days start by hitting Snooze.

At Snooze, we believe food isn't just fuel—it's a responsibility. What we serve should nourish people, uplift communities, and respect the planet. Being a culinary disruptor means going beyond flavor to create dishes that reflect transparency, integrity, and care.

We're committed to real food made with ingredients you can trust and values you can stand behind. The ingredients we source are:

-Raised with intention, always hormone-free, cage-free, antibiotic-free, and never with any added nitrates.

-Consciously handpicked, prioritizing purveyors who share our high standards for humane treatment, environmental stewardship, and responsible practices.

-Prepared with purpose by chefs who care as much about quality as they do creativity.

Whether you want to explore our sweet and savory creative twists or something nourishing to fuel your day, you'll find it here. That's our commitment to real food that's real good.

We're proud to be sustainability champions, taking ownership of our environmental footprint and working hard to reduce it. With purposeful actions like responsibly sourcing ingredients, cutting down on food waste and embracing energy-efficient practices, we believe each step adds up to big change. Sustainability is on our menu—literally. From heart-of-house habits to to-go packaging, we're committed to making choices that are better for our environment. We can't think of a better community to build than one that cares for our planet.

We're all about making our communities as strong as our coffee. Having a positive impact on the people and places around us is as key to our day-to-day as the freshest cage-free eggs. From our Snoozers to neighborhood organizations and local schools, we do more than serve daytime eats and drinks. That's why we donate, volunteer, raise awareness and show up for our communities in as many ways as we can.
