| - I've been to the other one in Gilbert, but this one is quite a different feel. I think it might habe to do with the location being on ASU's campus, so it's a bit "collegey". The decor is cute and classy but it definitely caters more to a college scene.
My friend at for breakfast at 8am and it was about 80% occupied for the indoor seating. No one was out on the patio seating area as yet because it was a tad too chilly still. By the time we left though, the line was out the door onto the sidewalk at almost 10am.
I ordered the Benny duo (one of each type of eggs benedict) with the Bella! Bella! Benny and the Chili Verde Benedict with pulled pork. So the chili sauced tortilla that they had as the "bread" for the Chili Verde Benedict was very different, but I wasn't too sold on it. It might be the texture or the corn tortilla flavor overpowering the rest of the benedict... it wasn't a hit for me. The hollandaise, egg and pulled pork though were pretty good. For the Bella! Bella! Benny, the slice of ciabata bread it came on was so thin and just underwhelming. The prosciutto, egg and hollandaise sauce again were spot on. But with how salty prosciutto is, I felt like there should be a more hearty piece/type of bread to balance out that natural saltiness of the prosciutto.
The meal came with hash browns which to me was the only perfect (for me) item on my plate. The outside brown and crisp on the outside, moist and cooked just right on the inside. My other complaint is that they neither have blue cheese dressing nor ranch dressing/dipping sauce, and those are my sauces of choice for potatoes (I don'tlike ketchup).
Another thing is Snooze changes their menu, but it always has a lot of similarities to the one before. It's like they remix items that are on the menu. They have a lot of great ideas and sometimes they're great (like their fall menu was) and sometimes they fall short - like the current menu.
