    The wait outside is like 40 minutes till you enter. The American breakfast was terrific and service was good. The inside is a little dim lighted but you are able to read the menu. Parking can be tricky so get there early. This is a local landmark favorite and many tourists come as well. The tables are a little small but cozy. Not very expensive on the wallet either. If your in the area and are interested in something unique, well this is the spot.

    English breakfast - the caf classics the full monty was great and delicious. Homemade baked bean and potato were addictive. I like all the ingredients except the black puddings, which taste odd to me. £18 per serving was value for money. Portion was big. Recommended sharing for small eaters like us. 4 stars Hot chocolate was special exas well. Nor too sweet nor too diluted. Just nice. 3 stars Queue time about 30 minutes and serving within 20 minutes upon ordering. Payment mode only card and no cash. Toilet was a bit untidy. Toilet bowl cover wad missing. Total bill £24.75 for one person breakfast.

    This place is a great spot for breakfast or brunch with a wide variety of options, including many vegetarian and vegan choices. I visited on a busy Sunday, and the 20-minute wait was quite reasonable. The food was delicious, but we felt a bit rushed when they brought the bill as we were finishing our plates. We hadn't even finished our drinks, and they brought the card machine. While I understand they were busy and eager for turnover, I expected a more relaxed breakfast after waiting for 20 minutes. I prefer not to feel rushed when spending money at a restaurant. It felt impolite, but we hurried to finish our drinks and free up the table.

    Visited a few days ago for brunch. There was a queue outside the door but a very lovely guy on the door managing waiting times and keeping everyone in the loop which was nice. Started with lovely beverages which were very nicely decorated and full of flavour. The food was plentiful, and not to forget the lovely waiter, Sam that took good care of us!

    Decided to check this place out while staying in the area. it was about a 3 minute walk from the hotel we were staying at There was a line of people waiting to get in. We waited for about 10 minutes before getting our table. We were greeted by a friendly female server. We ordered the drinks first then the food. They were served within a decent amount of time. They do have a pretty decent size menu to choose from. The breakfast was average. The portions were decent. We enjoyed the juices. The place is quite small with little space to move around. Not sure if we'd visit again but perhaps try other breakfast restaurants around the area for a change.

    The line to this place never ends and there's a reason why. They have a nice variety of breakfast foods and they're all done very well. The portions are huge so it's hard to finish it all, but it's so delicious that you want to eat more than you can. The beetle juice was very nice and refreshing. I had the veggie English breakfast and my wife tried the veggie American breakfast. Both were very recommended.

    Small restaurant serving breakfast options, we arrived in afternoon when they were only serving sweet pancakes.🥞 Unfortunately there were few mistakes as we both ordered gluten free pancakes and I have received mine as non gluten free and my sister received hers 15mins after I did mine. Staff were really apologetic. In the end my sister received pancakes but they had cream that she said she didn’t want so staff have apologised and told us that we don’t need to pay. All together pancakes were nice but not many options as some of them were sold out. We have also both tried better pancakes.

    Great friendly staff. Good situation. Did not have to wait and we were seated away from door straight away. Good selection of food. Don't come here if you are on a diet!! Good selection of drinks. Food is more than sufficient quantity wise , it beat me as couldn't finish it. Staff offer takeaway boxes for leftovers which is worthwhile knowing due to the size of the portions. Pancakes were nice but did need the maple syrup as a little dry (as I am a fussy about pancakes) but with the extras and maple syrup was delicious. Staff were very good with customers, especially the few that think the world revolves around them. So well done, great place.will come again.

    A little overrated The place is not very big and the tables are very close to each other (but it is normal in London) so I do not recommend going in groups of more than 4. The attention we received was not bad but I cannot say that it was good either, they have a lot of movement of people, the waiter (a man) seemed to be in a hurry all the time and it seemed that you were bothering him when you wanted to ask him a question or order, the attention on the part of the lady who is at the door was excellent, very cordial and friendly. The eggs benedict were good, the pancake not so much (I've had better) and the coffee was cold. 3 of us went and the total price was £70 (£23 each). It is not a very "cozy" place because of the proximity of the tables and the constant movement of people, we felt a little uncomfortable in this sense

    This restaurant is very popular. We arrived early and as soon we got seated the other customers arrived and restaurant got full. So plan your visit if you don’t want to wait in line. The staffs were very accomodating. The service was very fast. We ordered the Classic English breakfast and it was good. I wasn’t a big fan of the sausages but it didn’t take away anything from the experience. Highly recommended!

    The guy standing outside to get us seated is entertaining. Small cozy place with good and tasty options. Must order their french toast. It just melts in your mouth.

  • 5/5 Ethan E. 5 months ago on Google • 95 reviews
    The food here is AMAZING! (We had the huevos rancheros, greasy spoon, French toast dip, and hot chocolate.) When we arrived there was a bit of a queue outside and a lovely waitress brought everyone hot chocolate samplers to keep us warm! Will definitely be returning.

    My first visit to this place & as their cup indicates, "locally world famous" 😆 Such a cute place with choices for coffee, juice & breakfast. I got the eggs Benedict with smoked salmon & it was outstanding! Coffee was so good, I had to pack some to go.

  • 5/5 Shane L. 5 months ago on Google • 65 reviews
    Delicious English breakfast with pretty large portion size! The fried potatoes are so addictive that I couldn’t stop eating them. They’re so crispy outside and creamy inside with great seasoning! The service is very attentive. I got seated right away in a Tue morning, and my drink and food arrived within mins.

    This is absolutely a place to visit if you're in London. If you want to try a traditional London meal you should pick The Full Monty English breakfast. I would recommend this one if you are hungry. I would have loved to try the pancakes but I was already full. The staff was so nice and they helped me with some drink recommendations so I asked for the chocolate with marshmallows. I really enjoyed this meal.

    Here is my favorite place to eat a good british breakfast in London. I've been coming to this place so so many times when i was living in London and it's still good to come back. The staff is very gentle and helpful, the food comes quickly and it's worthy ⭐️

    There was a queue outside but the wait wasn't terribly long, and the waitress came out and took drink orders so we could have a warm coffee to sip on while we waited. Food was excellent. I had the 'big stack' and it tasted great, just as delicious as I'd get state side. Only gave 4 stars for atmosphere is it was quite crowded and in conjunction with the music made conversation a tad difficult.

  • 5/5 Patrícia B. 1 month ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    Tried it based on a recommendation and it did not disappoint! We got into a queue before getting in but it was going fast and we were sitting down within a few minutes. The staff is extremely kind and the food is just amazing. The pink chai latte was unique and you either love or hate it (i loved it), the blueberry pancakes with maple syrup and bacon seemed like a strange combination but turned out to be amazing. Thanks again!

    Was craving a hearty breakfast and TBC hit the spot. For a Sunday morning we were seated quickly although there was a line. The service was quick and friendly. We ordered the American breakfast and the greasy spoon. It was all cooked as you'd expect and the eggs were perfect. The juices and smoothies were a nice plus. We were left wanting to try more things from the menu so will definitely be back.

  • 4/5 Deljane K. 6 months ago on Google
    Great vibes (loved the music), nice food & friendly staff. The place was jam packed (in the weekend), still the staff was super attentive & quick (thank you Greg for the great service!). The coffee was good as well. No booking needed..short wait sometimes. Overall, would recommend.

    Must go in London. Best egg benedict I’ve tasted. Best hashbrowns. We went back twice during our visit to London. Excellent service, not rushed, all smiles. LOVE!!!

    We had a great experience at the Breakfast Club in Soho! Although it was a Saturday, the queue was manageable and not long and the food was delicious, as usual! Customer service was stand out, our waiter Virginia was very friendly throughout the service! We have really appreciated 😊

    This was a pretty average visit. We came along to this place for some peppermint tea. Firstly, the tea took a while to arrive. When it did arrive, it was the wrong type of tea. So, we asked for this to be changed. It was changed but took a long time to arrive again. At this point we had to leave, so asked them to put this tea into takeaway cups. They just gave us the cups instead of doing it for us, which was a bit disappointing. The staff were friendly overall, but the service wasn’t too great!

  • 4/5 Rachal S. 2 years ago on Google
    I’ve visited twice now and the food is sssooo good. The pancakes are the best I’ve had. It did take a while to get our food but it’s hot a fresh so no complaints really. Only downside is the tables are very close together so you can hear the conversations going on around you.

  • 4/5 Precious X. 2 years ago on Google
    The interior is really cute, small and cozy ✨ service was great as the staff were down to earth and cool. Food came super fast so was impressed. The size was huge (although I had the all American) but the food itself, I was really underwhelmed and disappointed as my only favorite thing I had was the pancake, salted caramel shake and potatoes, the French toast was too egg and soggy with not much flavor the egg wasn't up to par and the rest was just OK. The price was fair happy with that. Overall experience was a 6/10. Maybe if I try another location it might be different but I don't think I want to.
