A Brunch Review - The Breakfast Club
Another month, another brunch!!! A locale that has been around for about a year or so in Des Moines. Obviously named for one of the best movies EVER!!
“We’re all pretty bizarre. Some of us are just better at hiding it, that’s all.”
This is a short one. You’ll see why in a minute…keep reading!
Food - 6/10
I got the strawberry shortcake waffles. They were good! I did not pour syrup on them, nor would I have probably liked that. It comes topped with a lemon curd and fresh cut strawberries that made it perfectly enjoyable without the syrup!
Though the waffle was a bit cold, it was overall pretty enjoyable.
Breakfast quesadillas. Pretty good…but again cold. You can tell looking at the cheese it had been sitting awhile before it came out from the kitchen to me.
I should also say my sister-in-law’s food had a hair in it…YUCK just yuck…
Service - 7/10
There was oddly a very large number of staff members just standing around waiting for things to happen. Yet it was extremally busy, with a wait at the door. I am not sure what their purpose was but it made the already crowded room seem even more packed. I didn’t particularly care for that.
Our wait staff was very pleasant and overall service was satisfactory.
Ambiance - 5/10
They could have done so much more with The Breakfast Club theme and they didn’t. It was bright bold colors and 80s style tables and chairs. Kind-of like my grandparent’s house before they remodeled. We luckily got a spot in the back. Otherwise the tables are so close together it was difficult to hear what my niece was saying…and she’s 3 and yells most of the time.
Mimosa - 0/10
Yes, you heard it here first folks. I have never met a mimosa I don’t like. This, was UN-DRINKABLE! It seriously tasted like someone had accidentally poured pepper into my OJ. It was so bad guys…and what is with that lime on the glass?
Coffee was actually okay. I ordered a latte and whoever made it seemed to have some barista experience. Unfortunately I think they also made my mimosa…can’t be a jack of all trades I guess.
At least the single mimosa has champagne in it. Look at this flight I got…there are NO BUBBLES! And how is that one so clear…riddle me that…
They do not have bottomless mimosas either. Not that anyone would want more than one of these horrendous things.
