Well here I go with another brunch review! I do love my bottomless brunches don't I?! My daughter chose Sweet Science because it was within walking distance of her apartment and had everything we look for in a good brunch - bottomless, good breakfast and lunch options, and a cool vibe. And oh it was a vibe, with clientele ranging from a Hipster wearing a Toque and wire rimmed glasses looking like a cross between an English professor and a Norwegian fisherman beside a table with an athleisure clad couple with their adorable labradoodle, and the next table over, gorgeous stunning black queens with crowns of braids. (And then there's us in jeans and pullover university sweaters just trying not to freeze on the 3 block walk in a blustery January day). The music was pumping, but not so loud we couldn't have a conversation.
I love that there's 3 levels of options for the bottomless bubbles (picture attached) so you can pick your poison. We all chose the "High-Key Turnt" option. I started with a spicy fabulously decorated Bloody Mary full of horseradish, OMG so good. My husband started with a screw driver, other drinks included the passion fruit frozen margarita (which generally was not loved, not enough passion fruit flavor or frozen enough. It was more slushy than frozen) and a HenneyColada which we all agreed was pretty tasty. Throughout the 90 minutes we tried margaritas, mimosas, a few draft beers, and angry orchards.
Our server, Lucie from France, stayed on top of everything and was quick and pleasant with all the food and drink deliveries!
I was really really surprised about the food prices! This is New York City! How dare the food prices be reasonable! I was wholly tempted by the chicken and waffles (you know that's my breakfast jam!) but I saw the Bacon, Egg and cheese biscuits at another table and I had to have it! OK well I didn't actually wind up having it but my daughter did. I got the hot honey chicken on a biscuit and I asked for the hot honey to be on the side because I was worried that "hot" meant "spicy" but didn't come out on the side, so I just dealt with it. But it wasn't spicy. It was just hot and delicious. My husband got the Norwegian egg, another of our table mates got the cheeseburger and another got the jerk chicken hash. We also got a side of french fries, sharp cheesy grits, and the corn bread waffles, because you know I had to try those waffles. Everyone was happy with their choices, however, the french fries were those homemade ones with the skins on them that never quite get crispy so that was sad for me but they were still good. The grits were phenomenal and the cornbread waffles didn't seem to have a lot of cornbread in them, and they were dry, like really dry even dipped in syrup. I would say the only real thing that I could negatively comment on was the sad little mixed green salad that came on all of our plates. That was unnecessary. It didn't elevate the dishes at all.
The bathrooms were clean and cozy, but they need a hook inside the stall to hang a bag or a coat!
We had a great time and were fat and happy and, well, turnt when we left! If I'm back in Brooklyn on another Sunday morning, I'm looking forward to returning to Sweet Science!
