This was the first place I visited went to eat breakfast at when I lived in Shoreditch in 2017. Coming back in 2024 with another friend made me realize it was only great because of the memories of the people I was with as opposed to the food itself. The waiters were nice but the food was not the best. I got a scrambled egg on toast with smoked salmon & the salmon had a fishy smell to it, was flavorless and there was barely any hot sauce available. My friend also thought her burger was just okay as well with the biggest positive point being the bacon. That being said, the fried dough balls dipped in chocolate were really great and so were the holiday specials for alcoholic drinks. While the inside was spacious and retro and had a cool vibe, I have to knock down points for the actual food itself and wish that I had kept the memory of how much I enjoyed this place pre Covid as that since I wouldn't make my way out to this restaurant again even if I'm in the area. read more

Nice interior. This was my first London diner experience. Staff were friendly. Prices are average. I ordered the Full Monty, which is there English breakfast. I've had better. Bacon was too oily. Potatoes tasted over-seasoned. I'm not a fan of mushrooms in general, so I couldn't tell if they were good or not, I just don't like mushrooms. I was most disappointed in the beans. They were heavily seasoned in some kind of curry, when all I wanted was normal English beans. The food wasn't terrible, I was simply expecting better quality. read more

WHEN: Fri @8am We stayed at an AirBnb just next door, so it was easy to come at opening time for take-out. I would have loved to dine in, but my partner was sick, but at least I was able to walk around and check out the lovely decorated restaurant with no one else there. What was ordered: THE ALL AMERICAN - 16.50 The dish that made them famous (D-list celebrity famous). Pancakes, bacon, a 'not so' American proper British sausage, homestyle potatoes, fried eggs & maple syrup. I know I know, came here to order an item with the word "American" in it hahaa. It's such a huge meal that it was enough for us 2 to eat, and it was REALLY good. Eggs were perfectly poached, the sausages were good and potatoes were crispy and delightful. You get 3 pancakes and they were legit. Apparently they use multi-award-winning eggs called St. Ewe! I can see why people from all over come here. They are probably consistently good and each section of the restaurant is designed differently and the staff seemed super friendly. read more

The food was super delicious and fresh. I liked that they have half portions to minimize waste. Yet the quality and presentation was impeccable. Their latte is delicious and beautifully made.

Wanted to try a full english breakfast while I was in London, and I'd heard pretty good things about the Breakfast Club. I had a big group, so I called ahead, but they had no problem accommodating us. The staff was kind and quickly took our orders. The food also came out pretty quickly and the ambiance was quite good! As for the food itself, it was good but didn't quite blow me away. The eggs were the only part I was disappointed with - quite average in my opinion. However, the hash brown and potatoes were very good! read more

It was OK. I ate what I could, but I wasn't impressed. I originally ordered the all American and the pancake balls, but after trying the all American I couldn't justify spending another £6. The bacon and eggs were rubbery and undercooked, the pancakes were fluffy, but they didn't have any taste, and the potatoes weren't what I was used to. I did like the sausage which was nice. The food came quick which was a plus, but as I was the only one there for the first 15 mins after opening that should be the norm. read more

First stop in London, and I couldn't be more pleased! The staff was very sweet and sat me right when I walked in. I got there right before the rush (around 9am). The iced latte and blueberry pancakes were amazing! Great vibes all around. I was eating by myself and made small conversations with two of the waiters, went to pay and they told me it was on them!

Very California vibes with the decor and background music. It was visually appealing just like their food. Unfortunately, their food wasn't as good as it looked. The pancake looked fluffy and light, but it was dense and chewy. The bacon was real meat which made it better, but my friend would have preferred it a little more cooked. The chicken and waffles were probably the best thing on our table with a perfect poached egg that was yolky. This wasn't the best meal of our trip, but it sufficed. read more

Meh. Potentially we weren't overly impressed because we had heard so many good things and it didn't deliver. Maybe if we had come in without any reviews we'd have been slightly more impressed with the food. For my 2 cents don't try the vegan GF pancakes. I love that they have the option, but both my wife and myself came away feeling a little heavy and we couldn't finish the dish. Which I'm embarrassed to say is very unusual for pancakes. We had to flag down waitstaff to get parts of our order. It felt like it wasn't ready to have customers. Maybe it's better as a night club but as a breakfast spot it leaves somethings to be desired. read more

Wow, this place exceeded all safety limits on congregation of hipsters. But I can understand why - this is a fantabulous breakfast. On a low-carb thing, I had to bypass the amazing looking Banana French Toast with Bacon and some awesome smoothie mixes. Instead, I went with the Eggs Royale, a split English Muffin (which I skipped) with two poached eggs on top of a solid portion of smoked salmon, which in turn was topped with a good portion of hollandaise (see picture). Great latte in a huge cup. Perfect! Really neat decorations in this place. First, there aren't any two tables that match. And the chairs are a weird combination of just about everything possible Completely randomized. Stuff on the wall is like that "vintage" decor you find in some American theme restaurants, but this stuff seems like it's real and not fake. Wi-fi is protected, but I found the password was "gettingjiggywithit". Note that the place gets very very busy as the morning progresses. The queue looks like it could go an hour and they will split tables. read more

Great news everyone. I can save you time and money. Time by only forcing you to read a few words instead of my usual long-winded reviews. The ambiance was awesome, our server was really great... although it was my first proper English girl, so I am assuming I was simply smitten by the accent. However, she was great. Wish I could remember her name. First and last traditional English breakfast. Not good. Don't get it, but I know that I had to do it at least once. No redeeming quality of this breakfast (this is more a comment on all places that serve this and less on the Breakfast Club). Don't get it... keep it England it is all yours. THE VERDICT: We waited in line for this place and I am assuming it is just a tourist trap because... I did not get it because anywhere that serves English food isn't the best. However, ambiance was cool and servers were cool so... if that is worth like 20 american dollars to you... well, go for it. Otherwise... pass. (a 1-star bump for exceptional service). read more

After a 25 minute wait I got Kold Waffles? (the soft butter never melted) Over cooked seasonless Old Dry refried chicken. The Fried Chicken was dryer Than my grandmas 'naughty Parts' and she is 101 yrs. old.

Question how do you make A chicken thigh dry? It's almost impossible Yet apparently not unusual. You would have to fall asleep Whilst the chicken is frying.

I wonder what The kitchen looks like? *the secret to fried chicken Is spices in the breading and On the meat itself. Ask Colonel Sanders he used 11 secret spices.

Ate here while on vacation in London. We ran across this place and headed in. I had the pancakes and bacon. It was a welcomed change of pace from what we had been eating the past few days around town. Reminded me of what I would eat at home. The waiters were all nice - we sat at the larger community table because it was a bit busy, but service was still good and the servers were friendly. read more

American here: Solid stop for breakfast. Their portions are just over perfect (read: you won't leave hungry). I also have gluten and dairy allergies and I'm very happy. 1. Their oatmilk porridge was great - ask for extra oatmilk 2. Their gluten free pancakes are ok (heavy/slightly tough) but topped with tasty fruits 3. Their side of bacon and sausage are big portions. Should have chosen just the bacon since we couldn't finish 4. The side avocado comes out as really cold guacamole. For breakfast it was not what we wanted. But would go great with lunch foods 5. I wasn't a big fan of the coffee. I drink it black so it tasted almost citrusy. Turned it around by adding in the extra oatmilk we had :) 6. Staff and greeter chef guy were super nice. Would come here again. PS. Grab a pin before you leave! read more

Loved both the vibe of this place and the food. Be prepared to be in a queue on weekends.

The best breakfast I've had yet in England! I was looking on yelp for a place to grab breakfast and realized I was standing a few feet from The Breakfast Club- it didn't have the greatest reviews but I decided to give it a try, I'm glad I did! I had the sweetcorn and spring onion fritters; they were a perfect savory start to the day. I also recommend ending your breakfast with an espresso martini. The severs were friendly and came by frequently. They also have cool mugs you can purchase. read more

This is probably my favorite place for brunch. You can choose between a variety of savory plates as well as sweet and delicious pancakes and milkshakes.

I've been to this brand on a few occasions, but no to this branch. I've gone 3 stars as it all felt a bit slow on the morning, they were slow to seat us, to the point where we had to say we'd sit somewhere even though the table was not cleared form the previous people. Once we were seated and given menus they seemed to be a hurry for us to order even though the table was not even cleared or wiped down. Anyhow once they cleared the table ( to this point I'm still waiting for it to be wiped down!!) we ordered. Chatting away, as you do, I was given my tea and my friend was not given the coffee she had ordered. So we waited a bot longer and still no coffee, even though it was part of their breakfast sandwich meal deal. We had to ask the server what was happening and she told us no coffee was ordered!!! Well it could go one of two ways now a full blown argument or just bring us a coffee, thankfully it was the latter. The food itself was ok but I was given toast with no butter and not even offered anything to put in the toast. I'm only a fan of dry toast if I'm a bit worse for wear!! Anyway I think i will stick to the one at London Bridge as I've yet to experience anything like I did at this branch. read more

Yeahhhhh, if you're going to boast a bright and cheery breakfast spot, the staff better catch the vibe. We are regulars at this particular Breakfast Club. I'd never que in the weekend morning rush, but we often find ourselves here for lunch, midweek breakfast, early dinners, coffee with friends, etc. We come often. We tip. We are polite. We spend a lot of money because I really like breakfast stuff. Usually the service is pretty good (I actually can't remember a time it wasn't) -- but last night (Sunday the 26th October) our service was perfunctory at best, bordering on super rude. I still don't actually know why. We brought our 8 month old to eat with us (it was 530pm on a Sunday). We didn't bring a huge buggy, he sat in my lap. He was not allowed to play with anything on the table. We did not order him specific off menu things to eat. He likes the loud 80's/90's music. All in all, it was barely as if he was there -- but my feeling was that the bad service was because of him, or that this chick really just has an axe to grind with life. Either way -- I'm not a fan of that BS. Get a grip or get a job outside of the service industry. We finally just had to get up and walk to the counter to get the bill and leave (the restaurant was about quarter to half full). Right from the time we started ordering we felt like we were a bother and almost defensively had to answer questions. Really weird. Super disappointing in a place where we've come many, many times over the years f or a good meal since we've lived near Hoxton Square. The food is fine, but not good enough to mask bad service. It'll be a long while before I return, if ever. read more

One of the best breakfasts I've ever had. This is what I consider diner food without the heartburn. This place was so good I went bofe days I was in London, that's right bofe. I was walking around on Easter Sunday starving like a whore in church. Everything in sight was closed, kept walking and out of the corner of my eye saw a sign that read "Breakfast Club." So I did what any lost Angeleno would do and cut right to the front of the line and told the girl with the perky fun bags I need to grub as bad as she needed dental work. I made my way to the back of the restaurant and noticed there was more talent here than my last family reunion. I sat down, ordered a bloody mary to get things going (they add chopped cucumbers which is cool) and then ordered the chorizo, eggs and potato dish. On freakin point! The food was not only hearty and good but it wasn't greasy as you would come to expect. The menu can be considered to be very Americanish probably because its loaded with pancake and omelet combos and other diner type items. They also have traditional English breakfast items but then again I'm no connoisseur. Either way I highly recommend you give this place a try if your looking to have a great meal in a trendy environment. read more

What can I say about this place that you haven't heard already? I wanted to go for some time and it did not disappoint me at all! We went there at breakfast time and we did not have to queue (yeah, lucky us). As you might know, the place is really easygoing and trendy. We got a nice table with a really cute tablecloth (full of sunflowers!). We took a look at the menu and Mamma Mia! It was like heaven! I did not know what to choose so I opted for one of my favourite breakfast dishes: Eggs Benedict. Yummi x100! The sauce was AMAZING and the little muffins underneath so fluffy and delicious. We ordered home-fries on the side (of course). We also got pancakes and Homemade yogurt with fruit and mint (really refreshing). We needed a healthier option after all these comfort food. The pancakes were to-die-for; with some kind of Vanilla cream on top. The coffees were really good as well, specially Cappuccino. Can't wait to come back again! read more

This just-South-of-Hoxton Square branch of the popular Soho breakfast spot/sandwich joint/free WiFi paradise opened last Wednesday and it's about to be my new favorite place in London. That is, as soon as they get the free WiFi installed next week. Unlike the Soho outpost, which is adorable but smaller than than my ex-boyfriends...closet, this Breakfast Club is spacious, sunny, and oh so happily decorated. There are comfy leather couches, worn benches, picnic tables, kitschy wall decorations, enamel buckets full of condiments, surfboards, colorful lettering, and assorted antique-y chairs of all kinds. Most importantly, the bathrooms fill me with an overflowing abundance of joy that bubbles out of my pores and stretches a smile across my face. You walk into the 'Bathrooms and World's Smallest Disco' to a revolving disco ball and four different stalls independently wallpapered with memories of my childhood. He-Man and Masters of the Universe. Ghostbusters. Fraggle Rock. Strawberry Shortcake. This place makes me feel like a five-year-old-dancing with adorable little monsters to the Fraggle Rock theme song. Besides the toilets, the food is AWESOME (that's a bad switch in topics in one sentence). An excellent flat white, creamy and strong and perfect for an unnecessarily early morning. A delicious bacon bap/butty/bit of perfection is a soft white roll generously swabbed with butter and stuffed full of salty savory stupendous streaky bacon. My companion's BLT was another bite of blissfulness. Plus the people working there were incredibly friendly and chatty and about to be our new best friends when we show up there every day for free WiFi and our daily dose of bacon. read more

Not going to lie - I was initially disappointed when I walked in and Simple Minds' "Don't You Forget About Me" wasn't playing. And no one looked even remotely like Emilio Estevez or Molly Ringwald, which was a little surprising considering the large contingent of hipsters eating here. I quickly got over it though when I was told that I just HAD to go check out the bathroom (which I dutifully documented for you: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/ao-yAAnj8D_D9WI7qgLOow?select=1ldv-PqsoaozvtNSqK-EJQ). Great decor aside, the food here is pretty decent but not exactly "American style" as some reviews claim - we don't have bacon this good in the United States. Being afraid of what I'd heard about black pudding, I opted for the Half Monty. It was so filling I can't imagine what the Full Monty would have done to me. I mean I'm a pretty hearty eater, but even I have limits, you know? In closing: Fraggle Rock wallpapered restrooms. Great bacon. Go. read more

This is my second visit to Breakfast Club and what a joy it is. I always leave this place in a food coma state. First time I went, was in a group, and don't remember the food taking too long to come. I ordered the club sandwich which had chicken, which was not a disappointment at all! I also ordered the green smoothie but felt the mint was too powerful in it although it did leave me with fresh breath! Second visit,God suggested I try the Buttermilk fried chicken with chips...I was about to until my mum picked it and because we did not want to eat the same thing I let her have it. So I picked the Big Bad Burrito with the choice of pork. It was big and bad but was not as great as the Buttermilk fried chicken that I got a taste of which was devinnnneeee!!! I also ordered the Mango Go smoothie which had mango,strawberry and apple. To my disappointment it did not look and taste like a mango it looked more strawberry and tasted like a strawberry with sharp apple taste. To finish off we managed to squeeze in a pancakes with berries, maple syrup and vanilla cream. Again pancakes were light and fluffy and delicious with the extra accessories. I like Breakfast Club vibe, and their playlist! The service was great on both occasions and did not have to wait too long for our food. I'm not always in this side of town, but when I come here next I will try what they are known for....Breakfast! read more

Very delicious. Great bacon. The Pancakes go hard bruh. I want more food but ya boy just too full. The ginger tea was a nice touch with the meal & The music Playlist is also adding to the experience.

Yelp doesn't really need another review for the breakfast club...but they fed me and brought me back to life when I was very hungover and in desperately need of tea...so they really deserve my four stars! I rocked up here with the surviving girls on the morning after my hen party. I didn't really have much voice after the madness of karaoke and drinking the previous evening...but this breakfast made me sufficiently full of energy to make it home to my kitten, fiancée and recovery cuddles. Phew. I like: - The décor and ambience - the loo wallpaper is awesome! - My yummy eggs with chorizo (I have no idea what it was called, but it made me happy) - Tea in smiling mugs - One of the waiters took a photo of us all...he turned the camera around and took a photo with himself in...plus another waitress ran across the room to photo-bomb it. I approve of slightly-crazy, friendly staff. I didn't like: - My first tea came in a mug with lipstick mark (I wasn't wearing lipstick so it was obviously not washed- *gross*!) - The line as we left was huuuge. So yay! I like this place, and I'd come back if I am ever in the area early...but I don't think I like it enough to queue if I arrive later in the day. read more

I really don't understand the 2 star reviews from other Americans... Granted, I've only been to the Hoxton location, but I've always liked my food here. Sure, in America it would be average, but when you're craving real maple syrup, there are only so many places you can go. My favourite dishes are: -eggs on toast with 3 tomato jam -pancakes with berries (don't order if you don't like sweet, but I love this. It is basically a short stack of pancakes with a huge plop of vanilla whipped cream, berries, and maple syrup on the side. I actively crave this dish. The bacon is not QUITE exactly American bacon, but it is crispy and as close as I've found in London. Don't come on a weekend though (or come early), if it can be helped. Huge lines make it not worth it. Its good, but it isn't 'queue for a long time' good. read more

The Breakfast Club just gets better and better. I was there on a Friday night which seems like they have live music, such a great idea! The band was fun and extremely appropriate to get the night going. I always love the positive funk energy that's at the Old Street store. On the Friday night I was in their new little "cubbyhouse" section drink a great selection of gin cocktails (during happy hour they're £5! - happy house is from 5pm - 7pm) along with a big bowel of fries. The Breakfast Club is definitely not a place for a quiet night. It's always busy, loud and happening. So don't have a business meeting here, instead bring friends and dates. read more

If you have an appetite for breakfast, this place has no equal. Gigantic portions, the ability to customise dishes to your liking (within reason) and friendly staff make this place a pleasure when you can hardly open your eyes or see what you're ordering at 8am in the morning. A nice touch are changes to the menu for events like pancake day or christmas. Suddenly you get red pancakes with egg and bacon stacked high. And challenges that accompany that. Like finishing 20 pieces of pancake to get your meal free. Christmas is even better with Christmas Sandwiches and Full Dinners in the Breakfast club style, which is oft.
