Brunch at Snooze: 28141 Crown Valley Parkway, Laguna Nigel 92677 And this place is one you definitely don’t want to snooze on. This week we tried a new restaurant, Snooze an AM Eatery, in Laguna Nigel (Orange County). In fact, I consider brunch more of a mindset than meal and I love all things brunch. “With Hillcrest it was a fun, artsy and active community, and we feel there’s the same thing with Carmel Valley/Del Mar.We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post. “When we were looking for our second location in San Diego, we were looking for an independent, unique neighborhood that we feel like we can join,” said Long. Long is currently looking for community partners in the Del Mar and Carmel Valley area. In Hillcrest they have partnered with the ARTS (A Reason to Survive) organization the Monarch School for homeless students and The Center (San Diego Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Community Center). Long said 1 percent of their total sales goes to help an organization in the community. Their Hillcrest location was one of the first restaurants in the city to compost, their buildings, rely on natural light and with their “12 Months of Green” project they aim to educate staff and customers on a new sustainability topic every month, from chemicals to energy efficiency.īeing a part of the neighborhood is also a big focus for Snooze. Long said Snooze places a big focus on sustainability. Like Hillcrest, Carmel Valley’s restaurant will have a big garage door opening but will also have a large open patio, bigger than the downtown location’s. They have the same last name but take on their own personality,” Long said. “We like to say all of our restaurants are like sisters and brothers.
Long said they hope to incorporate a lot of re-purposed and recycled décor. The design of the restaurant will have some of the Hillcrest elements, but will also have its own look. “We are very honored that people are willing to wait.” Saturdays and Sundays the wait is up to two hours,” Long said. “We can say that Hillcrest is our busiest location. Snooze also serves up a variety of mimosas (they have Snooze Booze champagne on tap, made exclusively for Snooze by Infinite Monkey Theorem) and Bloody Mary’s with infused vodkas.Īnyone who has been to the Hillcrest location knows that there is a wait involved. The menu also includes “brunchy fare,” twists on classic lunch cuisine. Their generous portions include picks like the OMG! French Toast, a fresh brioche stuffed with mascarpone and topped with vanilla crème, salted caramel, agave soaked strawberries and toasted coconut. The evolving menu features a variety of egg options from creative benedicts to breakfast tacos. Their decadent pineapple upside down pancake is what they are known for and is always an option on the menu no matter the season. Snooze’s menu changes seasonally and they use local and organic ingredients as much as possible. We’re all about friendly, fun service, as well as the great food.” “The food, the ambiance are all a part of it. “We’re very excited about it,” said Rebecca Long, who handles marketing and community work for the restaurant group and whose official title is “All Purpose Flour” in a nod to Snooze’s playful concept. Snooze currently has five locations in Colorado and a very popular location in Hillcrest. IHOP’s lease expires on March 31 and Snooze aims to open its doors for “breakfast all day and brunch all the time” by July or August this summer. Snooze, an AM Eatery is coming to Del Mar Highlands Town Center, replacing IHOP.
