i'm rating this place a 3 mainly because of the service, as soon as we were seated we waited for 20 mins for a waiter to bring waters or even check in with us and no one came so we had to go check in with the check in desk and they basically forgot about us ! They stated they would send someone out soon. i don't know if it had to do with them seating a bunch a people but at the end of the day we had to check in with them. Overall though the food was great and tasted really good read more

Great experience here at The Breakfast Club! Awesome waitress, good food, yummy drinks. Cute atmosphere too! We initially sat at a table but asked to move to a booth due to baby and me comfort and they were super kind about it. Thank you for elevating the experience.... I ordered the loco moco and I'm so glad I did. Everything on the plate was deeelicious, kimchee is good for you, the meat patty was medium cooked as I asked and the eggs were scrambled super soft as I asked! My man got the low carb, and we expected the ingredients to all be separate but it comes in as a scramble. No biggie though. Was tempted to try the latte flight! That's interesting right? But couldn't justify all that sugar so did the nitro cold brew and it was very enjoyable:) Would def come back again for the same course of action. read more

To start with the positives, the quality of the food is solid. Particularly the hash browns and eggs were very good, they were fresh and had a distinctive flavor that made them stand out. The pancakes were good and there's a large variety of them, and I don't drink but apparently the mimosas are a hit. The place is typically busy, but the porters are very fast and efficient in cleaning up tables and getting them ready for the next group, so getting seated isn't a tedious long wait. Where this place fails is the service. The wait for food was much longer than you would expect as it was not crowded. Staff is friendly and warm, but not attentive at all. Only 3 people were in my group and ordered different things, but one of the orders was missing toast and had country potatoes instead of hash browns, and an entirely different pancake than what was ordered. We were ready to voice our problems, but the server never came by. The only time they came by since ordering was to refill a water, the next interaction after delivering the food was dropping off the check. It's excusable when service is subpar in a single area, that happens from time to time. But to have so many issues at every front is evident of poor service and management. read more

Stopped in at this Midtown brunch spot on a Sunday around 12:30pm. Chic, modern setup and about a 10-minute wait for a table, which was fine. The food is the reason to come. Crab cake benedict and tiramisu pancakes were simply amazing. The benedict came with a proper crab cake in place of the usual ham, and the tiramisu pancakes were a clever dessert-leaning take on brunch. Some of the best brunch food I've had in a while! Here's the catch. It's loud, loud enough that we had to practically scream across the table to hear each other. And the service really dragged. Almost 20 minutes just for the pancakes, then another 10 for the rest, so half of us were eating while the others waited. I know it was busy, but that's rough. Our server was sweet and clearly doing her best so this one wasn't on her. The kitchen is good enough that I'd come back regardless. But if they fix the service to match the food, this place could be next level. Definitely recommended for food not for the service. read more

Quiet Sat morning 8am, it was not busy and the restaurant was 30% full when we walked in. Space was a little tight between tables. Service was mediocre: missing settings, asked to refill my coffee after I paid my bill instead during my meal. I sense the server was more tired than me, but it's ok not everyone is running 100% daily. The food presentation wasn't fancy but the taste of was absolutely stunning. I can see why the place was packed before 9am when we left. read more

Food was ok but service needs improvement. Our party of 4 was sat but the party after us got water and menus first. We were ready to order food now since we had plenty of time and waited so long but when a waiter arrived to our table he stated he was only taking drink orders and that someone else would be there soon for our food order. After ordering food, eating and waiting for the check we never got a refill of water. Nobody asked us if we wanted boxes or the check. They just kept waking around us. The ladies went to the restroom and left 1 at the table to pay. We waited in a looooong line came back and they still hadn't dropped off the bill. We finally had to be assertive and grabbed the next waiter we saw like "please we know you're not our waiter but give us the bill so can we leave!!! Very Cute place. Love the look of it and outdoor seating was lovely but definitely won't be back if I'm in the area again. read more

Very crowded and service was just ok. Food was like any other breakfast place, nothing really stood out as fantastic. Ordered the strawberry Nutella crepe. Strawberries were good (it is strawberry season - May) and the Nutella was good - crepe was average. Ricotta pancake was very dense. My husband had the chorizo scramble.... THAT was really good!! If you like chorizo with eggs - get this! The server brought 3 out of four dishes - they failed to remember to bring the fourth. We had to ask twice - and by the time they brought it... the three of is were done eating. Ugh! The place is VERY crowded, very hard to move around if you are seated in the middle of the room. .... Seems like it would be a fire safety hazard, but I assume they are following the rules. Street parking if challenging... but there is a garage behind the restaurant. Would I go back? Probably not - SJ has so many good breakfast spots - this one didn't stand out as a must have again. read more

Breakfast Club at Midtown is an iconic brunch spot in San Jose and across the Bay Area. Even though Breakfast Club is super popular, this is actually my first time here and I can definitely see why it's popular. We had to wait about 30 mins, but the food is definitely worth the wait. Everything was very delicious, but my favorites were definitely the Carnitas and the Crab Cake Egg Benedicts. I really love how flavorful and amazing it was. I also try the California French Toast and Blueberry Lemon Ricotta Pancake and they were delicious as well. read more

A couple friends and I stopped in after a race in San Jose. A great post-race food spot! Friendly staff, good service, and casual ambiance. I ordered the Farm House Omelette, and it was delicious! Omelette had the perfect blend of veggies, and great flavor. With the omelette options, you could either pick toast or coffee cake. Make sure you choose the coffee cake. It was so good, I kept thinking about it after we left. Highly recommended! There's also another location that opened up in Castro Valley, CA if you're not in the South Bay area. read more

Still the best breakfast brunch place in San Jose! Their pancakes and waffles are just amazing. They have a wide range of bloody Mary's, which aren't usually my favorite but their farmers cubes based bloodies are so refreshing. I ordered their shrimp and crab omelette and it was the tastiest omelette I've ever had. Huge chunks of fresh seafood and creamy eggs that just melt in your mouth. And of coarse with a side of their warm coffee cake. I don't usually eat breakfast but this is definitely a treat yourself kind of place! read more

I visited this breakfast spot after hearing it was one of the best breakfast places in San Jose. The location is convenient, in a busy area with public parking nearby, and the service was friendly and attentive. As for the food, it was okay but not quite what I expected. The restaurant felt more like a fusion American-Mexican breakfast spot rather than a traditional breakfast diner. Every plate even came with a random watermelon slice, which added to the unusual presentation. We tried the steak huevos rancheros and the farm omelet. Both dishes were decent, but nothing really stood out or felt memorable. If you enjoy creative or fusion-style breakfast meals, this may be your kind of place. However, if you prefer a simple, classic, old-fashioned breakfast restaurant, this probably isn't the spot for you. read more

I highly recommended the breakfast club. Go midweek to avoid the rush. This place always seems busy and for good cause, because it's good and there's a nice vibe. Chicken and waffles- I appreciate that this was not chicken tenders. We had a thigh and I believe a breast and the portion size was enough to share. Short rib chilaquiles- the addition off the short ribs took this dish to the next level. Two egg breakfast with sausage links- portion size was great. Hash browns cooked to perfection Every dish was flavorful and something I would order again. Mimosa with fresh OJ. yum Prices were decent and all what I expected. Not overpriced at all. read more

Today I decided to try a new breakfast place and I was not disappointed in the slightest! To start, I love the location of this restaurant and the big glass windows. Even though it just a view of the street, it was a nice view to be able to look outside and I also enjoyed the natural daytime lighting environment it provided. The parking garage that connects to it also makes it super convenient and easy to access. The service was amazing and all the staff were super nice and attentive. They didn't check in too much but just enough during the duration of the meal just to make sure we had everything we needed. For today, we only ordered the steak huevos rancheros and a side of rice and shared, somehow even still having leftovers we needed to take home! So the portions are perfectly enough and I was more than happy with the amount of food we got! Not only was the steak cooked perfectly, everything about the dish was perfectly seasoned. I usually like to add hot sauce onto my breakfast food but to be honest, this dish didn't need any additional sauces or seasonings at all. I also really liked the hash brown texture as instead of super crispy and thin, they were more soft on the inside and thicker with a crispy exterior. It was sort of like potato cake texture, it was a nice refreshing take on hash browns and I quite enjoyed it. We also ordered a side of rice and mixed it in with the sauce leftover on the plate and I have to say, that rice paired perfectly with the refried beans. Overall, this was an amazing experience and I look forward to revisiting and trying other dishes/drinks from here! read more

Mid food, decent service, and bussssy restaurant. Parking is scarce. We parked across the street and walked over to avoid paying. We were seated almost immediately upon arriving. The way they have this restaurant set up is crowded. You feel like your crawling over people to get to your seat. We were a table of 6 and all got something different, so i feel like we all got a taste of their entire menu. The food was good, but not the best i have ever had or the most memorable. Their coffee liquor drinks were bomb tho! Overall, if its an easy walk in then i would suggest going. I do not feel like the food or service warrant an extended wait to dine here. read more

Came by on the Saturday morning to get the crab cake benedict. We got greeted and seated quickly. Friendly wait staff. Pretty loud and crowded as expected when I last came by. Got the crab Benedict: 4.5 stars. Definitely as I remembered with real crab. Although I don't care for the outer breading. Avocado and the eggs moistened it nicely along with the sauce. I got the hash potatoes and it was bland. I recommend getting the herb potatoes - really flavorful albeit salty. The Jalisco: short rib omelette: 3.5 stars. Well presented and flavorful. The short ribs were tender. Came with potatoes and a side of toast. The orange juice:4 stars. A little on the tangy side but tastes fresh so I can't complain. read more

Love this breakfast spot! I came on Thursday morning around 11am last week with friends and the staff were super friendly. One of the employees, I think he is a busser, was kind and very attentive whenever our server wasn't around. I got the Strawberry Banana Crepe and it was delicious. The atmosphere in there was cozy and felt well kept. read more

I've been eyeing this spot and finally had the chance to meet up a friend for brunch here recently. There wasn't a wait around 830am over the weekend, but it started getting busy around 930-10ish. There's also a decent outdoor area that can accommodate furry friends. Staff are nice and the portions are decently sized, but it rubbed me the wrong way when one of the servers placed dirty dishes he was bussing on our table while he was trying to close the check for the party next to us... The food was also quite bland. I ordered a Mexican scramble and subbed in the soyrizo for $1 extra...should have just skipped the mock meat since it didn't add to the dish. I had to drown the food with hot sauce in order to get any kick or flavor. Mind you, the dish came topped with jalapenos and the only thing that had any flavor was the miniscule guac topping. Had they been more generous with the guac, it might have saved the dish. I did like how you get to choose hash browns or herbed potatos as well as choice of bread or coffee cake. The sides are fairly substantial and the coffee cake was decent, a bit dry, but I think that's expected of coffee cake. read more

The Breakfast Club - Mexican Scramble - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Jose, California

Have gone to this restaurant twice now for a weekend brunch both earlier in the morning and later. This place definitely gets busier the closer you get to lunch but outdoor seating and bar seating is first come first serve which can cut down your wait time. There are a lot of good food options depending on if you want something sweet or savory and their portion sizes are pretty solid (5 strips of bacon with my eggs!!!!) Minor downside is there seems to be a little confusion on who's doing what when it comes to staff as you tend to get asked the same question by multiple people but I'd rather that happen vs them ignoring me. Plan on going back again read more

Omg such a great, solid and delicious place for breakfast and lunch. So crowded, so my friends and I waited for around 30 minutes. Staff were friendly and kind. I ordered the surf and turf, omg that hollandaise sauce was so rich and buttery. The steak and shrimp were perfectly cooked. The waffles were so soft and fluffy with the soft and creamy whipped cream and warm syrup :) definitely will come back to try their other dishes. read more

I would not recommend based on the food... The staff was super nice and super friendly. I ordered the chicken fried steak. It came out crispy, but cold. I ordered my eggs medium, but they came out runny... I asked for my hashbrowns extra crispy, but they came out soft... read more

We arrived first thing on a Monday morning and there was already a line outside waiting for opening. Once inside, it took a few minutes to get seated. Drinks were ordered, but they took a while to arrive, and our second round was eventually delivered by the bartender. That said--the food and drinks were excellent. My friend and I split the crab cakes Benedict and the Churro Waffle. The crab was fresh, and the waffle was topped with actual melt-in-your-mouth churros (not just churro-flavored--real churros). We also tried a pomegranate mimosa and a Midori mimosa, both of which were above par. I really wanted to give this place five stars because the food and drinks were so good. Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow. While waiting for the check, we decided to use the restroom, and when we came out, the server nearly jumped on us because she thought we had left--never! When I asked if it had been unusually busy, she said it was a normal day. I would absolutely recommend the food, but make sure you're not in a hurry. I'd be willing to try again with adjusted expectations, because the food was truly worth it. read more

Another great last minute find on yelp. Place closes at 3 so got in there around 2pm so as to not have to wait an hour and got sit within 15minutes. S'mores pancakes had 3 stacks and were great for the kids. Chilaquiles is one of the better ones I've had in the Bay Area and that's saying a lot. Can't miss with the chicken and waffles and the gravy was a great add for flavor to dip the chicken in. read more

Loco Moco (6/10): I usually love their dish every time I ate here, but this time I was a little disappointed. Their rice was undercooked, the mac salad lacked in flavor, and the meat was more on the drier side. The only thing that tasted good to me was the eggs, gravy, and kimchi. I want to give them the benefit of the doubt because it was busy the time that I was there! Service (10/10): The service was great as always! Our server was super friendly and accommodating! They were very attentive even though it was a full house! Overall, even though I was a little disappointed with the dish, I still would come again because of their service! read more

Great place for brunch! Portions are pretty large. Only street parking is really available, but there's usually space if the restaurant isn't busy. Service was a little slow, but food was delivered in a timely manner after ordering. The brioche french toast was soft on the inside and crispy on the outside. It wasn't burnt in any way. Whip cream and butter was nice to have on the side. The workplace loves coming here for brunch for the variety of options. We'll be back again to satisfy the brunch craving! read more

One of my favorites for brunch/breakfast. Excellent service, food and ambiance. Servers are attentive and friendly, it's a busy restaurant and I never feel like they are hovering hoping we hurry up and leave unlike at other places. Brunch is not cheap anywhere but the portions here are generous and filling in my opinion. This latest visit the server recommended breakfast enchiladas, I subbed in soyrizo. It was delicious. I'm usually an omelette girly I'm glad I steered off the usual path and gave it a try. They have other popular Mexican breakfast items such as burritos, nachos, chilaquiles too. I will definitely be trying those in future visits. I usually aim to be there no later than 9am on weekends, it gets busy as mentioned before and parking can get challenging. I almost find a spot on the street albeit 2-3 blocks away ( on San Carlos) read more

We stopped by for brunch on the Sunday of Memorial Weekend. Bustling but not overcrowded. We were seated quickly. Our youngest guest very much wanted to toddle around and explore. Waitstaff and guests were very accommodating. We ordered the toddlers food right away and asked that it be brought out as soon as it was ready. Pancakes in a the shape of a certain mouse. Our toddler loved the orange slices and sausage links. The rest of the food came out in a timely fashion and was delicious. Friendly, efficient and professional staff. Consistently a great eating experience. A must stop breakfast place for us in the South Bay. read more

Had a party of 15 and they sat us outside right way. Didn't mind it because it was a gorgeous day. This place was pretty busy as it was a Sunday morning. Inside esthetics were very nice! Staff very friendly and servers were prompt. Ordered the Spicey Korean Fried rice and it was sooooo good. A lil Spicey but it was a good spice. Husband had the waffle which came with a side of fruit and that was good as well. Glad we came here. Will def come again read more

Great food with great interior setting. Parking can be tricky. We ordered their Benedict duo option (classic + surf turf) and Farmhouse (vegetarian) omelette . The hash brown has good crispiness to it and very well seasoned too (which is rare to find). The omelette is fresh, light and with right texture (soft/moist) which is great. I have had omelettes at other places that either overcooked, dry or greasy. Also love their plating - the slice of orange is a nice touch. My husband like the Benedict and thought their sauce was clean and light ( not as heavy, as the ones serve at other places). I would come back to try their banana coconut waffle and their veggie burger (comes with spicy aioli) which I love. read more

My niece and I went here for breakfast this morning and it was excellent! We were greeted at the front door, shown to our seats and immediately greeted by our server. I ordered the hot link scramble and my niece had the short rib dish. Both were delicious, portions were quite large. My dish came with a choice of toast of coffee cake. The coffee cake was a little dry, maybe a little butter on top would help. Service was efficient, waitstaff was very friendly and we'd eat here again for sure. read more

Met up w/ my buddy on 7/4 for some breakfast and libations. Showed up around 11:30 am and the place was blow'd up. Always a good sign. I went for Georgia Peach (SKYY Peach Vodka & peach liqueur) and my buddy had the Bloody Mary w/ bacon. I usually don't drink so early, but was on a 4-day weekend, so heck yeah. I tried the Korean Chicken Fried Rice with eggs over-easy. I asked our server Roxanne, if it was spicy and she said "yeah". And it was a bow of fire--volcano hot. But good. My buddy had french toast and fruit. it looked really good. All in all, I am 3-for-3 at TBC. Droppin' rhymes and having good times. A special tip of the cap to Roxanne who kept our coffee mugs filled and answering my questions. The lady is a superstar! read more

Came here on a Sunday morning around 9AM waited for about 10 minutes to be seated for a party of two. our server was shell and she was very accommodating and bright. It was a nice touch that with our orders. We had the choice between toast or coffee cake and of course we chose the coffee cake which was delicious. I got the farmhouse omelette, and I was able to include bacon in it. Which I appreciate it. And I had the option between hash brown potatoes or country style potatoes and I chose hash brown. I also ordered a coffee once my food came out and they were very quick with their service. We also ordered the Jalisco omelette, which was also good. The braised ribs was a special touch. Would definitely consider ordering this again. Both plates were large and portions and the atmosphere was very lively as this seems to be a popular breakfast spot in the Santa Clara area. There's so much more to try on the menu. read more

My family and I had a as wonderful time at The Breakfast Club! It was busy when we arrived, but we were seated within 20 minutes and had attentive servers. We ordered a ton of items - omelets, scrambles, pancakes, mimosas and bloody Mary's. All of the food was tasty, fresh, and filling! I had the Midtown Scramble with hollandaise sauce. The hash browns were wonderfully crispy and the flavors blended well together and it had a creamy texture. We also ordered the trio pancakes - tiramisu, blueberry ricotta, and California french toast. Each item had a distinctly unique taste. Everyone raved about the meal and we were stuffed by the end of it! We will definitely be back! read more

This was my family first time in town, and we chose this spot for our family's first meal. it ended up being the perfect choice. We ordered the Chef's Special Crab Cake and the S'mores Pancake, and both were delicious. Everything tasted fresh, well‑made, and thoughtfully prepared. The atmosphere added a lot to the experience. The pop dance music gave the place a fun, upbeat vibe, and the overall energy felt welcoming and relaxed. Our server, Roxy M., was amazing. She checked in on us attentively throughout the meal and made sure we were doing well without ever feeling intrusive. We also noticed how attentive the rest of the staff were. At one point, my daughter dropped her knife, and another server immediately came over with a replacement before we even asked a small gesture that really stood out. Overall, our dine‑in experience was wonderful. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. We're glad this was our first stop in town. read more
