Snooze [2]is waking up the breakfast crowd on Boulder's Pearl Street Mall, and the A.M. Eatery couldn’t be a better fit. Owner Jon Schlegel nailed it when he chose to plate up Snooze’s wildly successful mix of retro decor and a sinful breakfast menu and serve it to a community that's always hungry for good eats.

Opened on September 29th, Schlegel’s fifth addition to his burgeoning breakfast empire offers a can't-beat-it location that's certain to draw the student crowd, not to mention the tourists strolling East Pearl.

For locals like me, a few early service snafus won’t keep me from lining up for the all-star menu filled with items such as Peaches 'n Cream French toast with Palisade [3] fruit, mascarpone, streusel, and vanilla cream. The fleet of Benedicts temps, too—especially since they can be ordered mix-and-match. Try the 50/50 with one Caprese (tomato, mozzarella, basil pesto) and a Bella Bella (prosciutto, Taleggio cheese, arugula).

Sip on this: Home Sweet Home Bloody Mary made with house-made, pepper-infused vodka.
