Snooze also makes a killer margarita ($8) and six different mimosas. Or if you want something light and fruity, go for the Orange Snoozius ($9) with vodka, orange liqueur, fresh orange juice, whipped cream and a cherry. Try the Boss Hog ($9), a bourbon laced Bloody Mary, and be sure to add bacon ($1.50). The drinks: A great selection of eye openers. It’s served with vanilla creme, caramel, fresh strawberries and toasted coconut. Brioche gets grilled golden brown and filled with creamy mascarpone. Don’t miss the OMG! French Toast ($10.75). The Breakfast Pot Pie ($11) is like a fancy biscuits and gravy with rosemary sausage gravy on puff pastry topped with a fried egg and served with hash browns. We liked Juan’s Breakfast Tacos ($10.95) with eggs and hash browns which reminded us of Texas style papas con huevos. The menu: Chef Allen “A.J.” Johnson specializes in breakfast and brunch dishes with eggs Benedict seven ways, seven kinds of pancakes, five sandwiches and a section of lighter dishes such as egg white omelets, grain bowls and sweet potato hash. The vibe is friendly with servers bursting into “Happy Birthday” for diners celebrating a special occasion and a soundtrack of upbeat dance tunes - how about some Rick James with your latte?

Wavy lines snake across the walls and a star pattern recurs, representing Snooze’s guiding “compass.” “Our guests are our true north,” Whitson said. Orange double drum chandeliers hang in the dining room. Circular seating is covered in leather-look fabrics of recycled materials with snazzy cutouts. The look is vintage Googie but with a conscience 35 percent of their waste goes to compost and 65 percent to recycling. The Look: Imagine you’re on a dream road trip and pull into a sleek ’50s diner. During the soft opening, Snooze donated all food and gratuities for three days. “Orange County Rescue Mission, KidWorks and Orange Home Grown, they’re our community partners,” said general manager Brian Whitson, of Westminster. Like all Snooze restaurants, this one will partner with local charities. It’s taken up a space with a history: Built in 1922, the 4,200 square-foot space has been a car dealership, a church and a furniture store. location in Tustin and three in San Diego. Eatery at Chapman Avenue and Lemon Street, next to Wahoo’s Fish Taco and Buttermilk Fried Chicken.īackground: The chain started in Colorado and now has restaurants in California, Arizona and Texas with another O.C. So many new restaurants popping up in Old Towne Orange but this one, which opened the first week of February, will surely catch your eye.
