Never-ending mimosas, anyone?
|
Brunch: it's the one meal of the week where showing up to a restaurant with bloodshot eyes and the faint smell of a Febreze shower is not just acceptable, but almost expected. While drinking champagne-spiked orange juice Monday thru Friday might make you a degenerate alcoholic (or does it?), the same actions taken on a lazy weekend mean you're just a carefree yelper who is at odds with breakfast and lunch.
Brunch destinations have a tendency to be pretty trendy, but somehow Slow Club has managed to keep that neighborhood vibe: "This has to be one of the best spots for brunch in the entire city," says Angela P. "It's laid-back, affordable, has great food and friendly, efficient service. What's not to like?" Olea is another spot on the road semi-less traveled, and we're willing to bet Alexandra D doesn't mind keeping it that way: "If you want your taste buds to go absolutely crazy, then come here and order the Challah French Toast. I did, and it made my head spin!" Hmm, there must be something in the korintji cinnamon sugar they use, 'cause yelpers can't seem to get enough!
Workin' with a group of picky eaters? Have no fear, for Art's Café is here! Locally recognized as a tasty choice for both American and Korean delights, David N tells us "this is probably the only place in the city where you can get two eggs, two pancakes, two pieces of bacon... and a side of mother effin' kimchi!" If European flair is what you're after, Ti Couz just might be your great escrêpe. Tessa M is fond of the French-meets-Mission feeling, admitting that "their crêpes are so toothsome; I've been known to go twice in one weekend even though I live across town!"
Some might argue that brunch is just overpriced breakfast if there isn't free-flowing champagne involved – and that's exactly why Kim G digs Paul K: "The $12 bottomless mimosas are never empty, which makes for some very happy customers." Natassia S affectionately refers to the $7 unlimited mimosa special at Lime as "Blackout Brunch." And Sarah H breaks out the abacus to explain her appreciation of Circa up in the Marina: "The mimosas are 97% champagne and 3% orange juice. You know you aren't being cheated when your flute is almost completely clear!" Just more proof that brunch is indeed the new linner.
