Pancakes with berries and cream
James M.

Delicious pancakes rival the best to be found in the US. Very friendly service and cool ambience in the Camden Passage area of Islington. A great place to eat and then explore the shops close by.

Scrambled eggs with sausage and avocado

Great find and great menu. Diverse menu catered to the whole family! Chicken and waffles for my daughter, All American pancakes for my son, and scrambled eggs with two different sides for the parents. Friendly staff!

Got seated after almost an hour wait..food was good.!!

It was an around one hour wait time but it was worth the wait... I went strolling around the mini shops window viewing while we had to wait... Coffee was good the food was good the atmosphere with the hip music made me want to dance...lol

All American breakfast
Quisha H.

Discovered this place my last morning visiting London. This was the first place I encountered what I considered "real" breakfast (one involving pancakes lol). Ordered the "All American" which was probably way more than one person needs to eat by themselves but such is the American way. Everything was delicious and fresh tasting and since it was a Tuesday I didn't have to wait for it. There's also free wifi you just have to ask for the password. Would definitely recommend this place if you're in the area.

Happy fresh mint tea

I so want to love the Breakfast Club but I don't think we'll be friends ... this was the third branch I visited and again I am left feeling a bit meh. The Islington branch is tucked away in Camden Passage, one of these secret little alleyways you just have to love. The menu is packed with guilty temptations, everything sounds amazing. And actually looks really great, too. My club sandwich was massive but every bit of it was just that little bit too tame. If you're going for full-fat you may as well throw in some salt and pepper for good measure. This sandwich was rather bland - the homemade coleslaw and miniature green side salad had more taste than all that chicken, bacon and cheese. What a shame, like I said, I really want to love the Breakfast Club ...

So it's Saturday morning and I'm in need of some serious comfort food. This will involve carbs, fat and my body weight in maple syrup. It can only mean one thing, The Breakfast Club. I don't love this place that's for sure. The service is low, the staff lazy and they insist on putting chives on top of everything savoury. What is it with the chives BC? They are like mini onion flavours, taking over my plate and ruining my yummy breakfast. But, once you have scraped off the offending herb, you'll enjoy some fabulous feasting. It's the UK version of American brunch, served up in kitch surroundings with a small side of maple syrup. So my tips to you are; prepare to wait, after 9am there is always a queue and secondly, tell them no chives!

This place looks so cute from the outside, I couldn't help but wanting to go in. A friendly guy in a Sesame Street tee and yellow cardigan welcomed us and sat us down. As it was quite early, we only ordered a coffee. The service was really good, and they were very attentive. The coffee came in cute coffee cups, but sorry to say the coffee was pretty weak :( The menu looked really tasty, but we didn't eat any food, so for now it will have to stay at 3 stars based on the coffee.

Yummy cupcake from the Breakfast Club
April C.

I'm torn between 4 and 5 stars My favorite part of breakfast is the cupcake; hey now, it's never too early for that! Their cupcakes have the best frosting I've had in London. It was fluffy, not too sweet ,and just the perfect amount! The cake, however, was a little dry but still close to perfection. The Breakfast Club offers a perfect mix of delicious breakfasts, sandwiches, and cupcakes. For me the eggs Florentine is simply perfection. The english muffin perfectly toasted, poached eggs a bit runny, and the hollandaise sauce yummy and buttery. Beware: the lines are long and the service is a bit slow, but I definitely think it's worth the wait. I can't wait for another eggs Florentine. Gnomes at the front of the restaurant and quotes from the movie The Breakfast Cub posted on the walls give this restaurant a cozy and quaint feel.

Happy hot chocolate!

Having stayed with a friend in Islington overnight, I found myself needing a place to eat for a bit of breakfast when my friend headed to work. Easy to find, it's in a nice little terrace behind the main road in Angel. The place itself is quirky but I like quirky. The menu is extensive but I eventually went for the poached eggs on rye toast. I had that with the 'whiter than white' green tea. The tea was good, as were the eggs. As I was on my holidays, I decided to have a hot chocolate after my 'main' brekkie. I was delighted when it came in a bright yellow mug with a smiley face on. It was good chocolate. The bill for all of the above cane to £12.20 which I thought was a little on the expensive side. I realise this is central London and maybe this is the norm. I will definitely go back next time I need breakfast in Angel. The only point of note is that my friend told me that there are often queues at the weekends. I was there at 8.30 - 10 am on a Friday and it was fairly quiet.

I come here from time to time as I only live a short walk away. And yes, tucked away in lovely Camden Passage, it is a nice place to go to take in the relaxing ambiance it provides. However, I agree with Derry N's review regarding the service. Though the staff are friendly enough, from the times I have dropped by, service has just been rather slow, from waiting to have the orders taken to waiting for the food to be served. However, I highly recommend the breakfast menu, especially the all American, and their choice of smoothies and fruit juices pack in a healthy punch of delight. However, aside from the breakfast menu, I wouldn't really go for anything else. Last time I went I had a pie of some sort, which tasted fine, but having had only been there for their breakfasts every other time, in comparison them, it was a disappointment. This might have a little to do with the fact that this little establishment has the word 'Breakfast' in its title, making one feel not quite at ease to be eating lunch/ dinner food when the restaurants' name suggests otherwise!

Fresh squeezed! 2 friends and I split a pitcher (£8.70) and we each paid 2.90, and we got maybe 3-4 glasses of OJ out of 1 pitcher.

Amazing restaurant!! Absolutely loved it! Especially since I hadn't had a "traditional" American breakfast in months! My friends and I (group of 8) received amazing service! The waitress was patient and nice, and readily checked in with us. The was a wait, but it was quick, especially as this is a pretty popular place. I ordered the All American plate, the fresh squeezed OJ, and the cappuccino. All of it was delicious!!

Bloomsbury Cafe - Neapolitan pasta

So my mother and I ate at a lot of eateries while we were in London last year. Only Bloomsbury Cafe…read moreleft us declaring defeat: we just couldn't finish our meals here. Their servings are HUGE, and are so affordable too! I left wishing my mother and I had the ability to save our leftovers for later, because we hated wasting any of the delicious food that we ordered. Even before we got our food we were pretty excited. When you walk in you're greeted here with a beautiful sight: fresh sandwiches, bread, and pastries, all on display right at their main counter. Once we were seated I noticed little flower pots line the window, too. Fresh food and flowers - what more can you ask from a cafe for a first impression? We also loved the owner and his wife: they were very kind and they constantly kept us up to date on our food order, just to mention what was done and what they still needed to do or cook. They clearly work hard to provide fresh fast meals - and we learned quickly as people came in and out of the place that takeaway is available here. But we wanted to enjoy a sit down meal, and enjoy we did! I started mine with fresh squeezed juice - we're talking so fresh you'll want to add sugar to it if you're used to the juice that comes in stores. And when our English breakfasts came out? Just, wonderful. My mother and I each received SO much food. Both meals came with amazing buttered bread (like, I would have happily eaten an entire plate of bread and only bread), hash browns so fresh that they may as well have given us the original potatoes (yum), and what I can really only describe as a mountain of beans, eggs, and meat (well, on mine anyway - not so much on my mother's vegetarian breakfast order). All of it absolutely delicious, and every single bite made me smile wider and wider. Definitely walk on in if you're near this little shop. Don't be afraid to order one meal and share it if there's only two of you, either - you'll likely both leave well fed, and you can always order a little more food if you want too from that great looking counter of theirs...

Had the New Yorker. Hit and fresh bread, what you want in a panini. Staff was friendly and…read moreefficient. I'd eat here again if you just want a quick sandwich and not in the mood for pub food. Though I did not have any, their desserts look really good too.
