Ninety-five percent of the menu is “ Snooze-approved,” meaning that the suppliers have passed a set of standards that range from animal welfare to social responsibility. Snooze wants its partners-the syrup, egg, and produce suppliers they rely upon-to be similarly planet-friendly. By planting trees, like the grasslands project, it takes the bad carbon out of the air, pulls it into the trees, and puts it into the ground.” Last year alone, via the southeastern Colorado project in partnership with Native Energy, Snooze was able to remove 1,177 metric tons of carbon in the air, or the equivalent of three million miles not driven. More carbon is creating crazy temperatures.

“One of the biggest issues in the world is it’s getting hotter. “Trees take carbon out of the air,” Jaffe says. To offset the carbon from all that delivery driving, Snooze plants a tree for every employee and supports a regenerative grasslands project in southeastern Colorado. Carbon sequesteringĪ good chunk of that post-pandemic to-go business is via delivery, which means more cars on the road releasing harmful emissions. “So it’s about being mindful of the types of materials out there and available to restaurants.” When you order your Bella! Bella! Benny (an Italian-inspired Benedict with prosciutto and poached eggs on toasted ciabatta, topped with balsamic glaze and arugula) to-go, it’ll come in a sustainable biodegradable container. “Pre-pandemic it was two to three percent, and now it’s upwards of 16 percent of our business today,” Jaffe says. Prior to 2020, takeout breakfast wasn’t a large part of Snooze’s business.
