    The Full English Breakfast was very filling and two people of medium appetite could probably share it. No dogs allowed, which was a bummer, but the staff prepped our takeout meals quickly! The bacon and the beans were my favorite part of the Full Breakfast. The bacon still had that clear pork taste that wasn’t over powered by its saltiness. The beans had some deep flavor indicating that they were cooked slow, possibly overnight. I will return here again and will try another breakfast staple they have!

    Breakfast was only OK and sadly fell short of my expectation but my expectation was high in the 1st place. My scrambled eggs were a little flat and distinctly lacking in cream / butter and my daughters pancakes were dry (needed more fruit and maple syrup) Ambiance of cafe and decor was great though pulling it up a star.

    Decent breakfast and good quality for a chain type restaurant. Worth a visit as it has a pleasant vibe and service was great!

    As the names, this place is the heaven for breakfast lovers. Food was yum and delicious. Servers were friendly and cooperative. They helped me in customising my order which was great. What they can do better is- 📍Smoked salmon was good dish but it literally had 3/4 pieces of salmon in it. For £14 a dish they can make it more worth while or add a Avocado. 📍Pancakes with berries literally 5/6 blueberry, 1 raspberry and 1 strawberry cut into 6 pieces. I would suggest not be so stringent on fruits as after few bites I was literally having cream and pancakes. Even the syrup was less. So pancake was a let down.

    Breakfast, brunch, tea or coffee, you find plenty of options on the menu here. I went for the avocado and mojo picon on toast which was very fresh and satisfying, with an English breakfast tea in a big mug. The setting is low key and there's a variety of seating arrangements from high tables, to booths to regular dining. Service is friendly and attentive without being intrusive. I went on a Sunday morning when it was quite busy but still managed to get seated quite quickly.

    I ve never tried full english breakfast before and it was really amazing, the place, the people, the food, everything. The pancakes were tasty and basically i loved everything. Would recommend making reservations because there mightbe a queue. Also to complete the meal, the smoothies are very nice!

    The Truffle Benedict is quite nice. It meets the standard. The pancake ball is very oily and greasy. The chocolate sauce is too runny. But overall experience is fine. A good place to have an easy breakfast menu.

    Very good food and environment, took a little bit too long for the food to come, but when it did I forgot about that delay! Incredibly tasty

    As always TBC never fails to provide a suitable breakfast feast. Pictured is the Greasy Spoon which was perfectly sized to start the day right and keep me powered for a day of walking. Lovely staff as always.

    Been here a while back now, but forgot to review. This place was talked about by a few of my mates, so I decided to go and see what the hype was about. From looking at the outside, I wouldn’t walk into a place like that as it’s not really clear of what the inside looks like (it’s the building style, not their fault). Inside was actually quite cool. The place was different. Nothing uniform, with no set design. It seems to be free style, which went well being in that location. Food was good... hence why it gets a 5 star rating! I went there with a couple friends and they also thought the same. Customer service was good too. This place does get busy though... which says a lot about how much people like going there!

    First I would suggest that you make reservations as this diner/restaurant gets very busy on the weekends. I made this mistake and turned up and had to wait 20 minutes to be seated. This is not your typical diner as it serves both British as well as American Breakasts. I had the Veggie Breakfast and Blueberry Pancakes. It was very good. The Pancakes are not the American sizes but the style is there. The staff were very courteous and friendly. My food arrived very quickly, so no complaints there. The atmosphere was how a normal diner should be like. Busy and quick paced. Is it anything special? Not really, but it is one of the only places in London that you can get stacks of pancakes served with style, and tastes good. I highly recommend this restaurant/diner if you are a breakfast and pancake fan.

    Fabulous friendly service,great vibe and wonderful food. I had gluten-free pancakes which were very good, light and tasty. My husband had a full breakfast,the sausage was very tasty and good quality, bacon cooked perfectly. It filled him up for the day. We also had coffee, fresh mint tea, orange juice and a smoothie,total bill including service was around £51 which was good value for money. We look forward to returning to London and visiting again.

    Manuel was very attentive and caring for our family table, really looked after us :) they need MORE HOLLANDAISE on the eggs Benedict 😭😭 star of the show. also the temperature of the food wasn’t great my mums whole dish wasn’t hot enough at all. Mine was because I asked for the egg to be well done. But overall definitely would come back especially because of the staff too

    Man 🤦🏾‍♀️! I don’t even like tofu scramble and I was very impressed. Idk about the other locations but this is the one I went to and I was so happy the food was delicious! I’m such a picky vegan, esp for breakfast but they definitely did that! I WILL return. So fulfilling.

    Had a reservation on a Sunday morning for a nice weekend treat breakfast. I personally wouldn’t recommend ever trying to get a table on the day for this restaurant however it wasn’t totally packed here so maybe you’d get lucky and not have to wait too long. But if you know when you want to go, definitely book ahead! Had a really great meal, it was my first visit to this specific breakfast club. It was really spacious and had great decor, and I loved the wallpaper in the toilets! Food and drink wise I can recommend the pink maple lemonade as a drink and I had the All American breakfast which was so good! My partner and I also always get a side of hash browns and they are a real treat with the chipotle ketchup which has a nice tang to it. Looking forward to returning!

    Today we were in Old street, felt peakish so we checked out the Breakfast Club in Hoxton. We were met by a friendly member of staff who showed us to a table. We had the Veggie Breakfast which was fantastic, not only did it taste good, the presentation was tremendous. Being event planners we are always looking at the decor and arrangement of places and spaces and have to say it has been done nicely at the Breakfast Club Hoxton. As a lover of everything disco! We loved the disco balls in the area we were seated, the colours in the space are vibrant and energising, table and chair arrangement made it easy to move around. Overall we had a great time, enjoyed the food and feel of the place.

    I went there with a friend before Christmas and had a lovely time! I believe Alex was the name of our waiter and he was super attentive and proactive. The food was good and I would be back to try other dishes!

  • 4/5 Wendolyn 9 months ago on Google
    Lively caf ( not a cafe as per their site) serving tasty breakfast food and sandwiches. The gluten free pancakes were perfect! A tiny bit crispy on the edges- just how I like them. Coffee is great too! Refills at 1.50. The music, however good, was too loud for my taste.

  • 4/5 Ema A. 10 months ago on Google
    We had brunch at the breakfast club today. I had heard of the chain but never been before. We ordered a dish of fried chicken 🍗 that was out of stock so changed to American pancakes and eggs Benedict with an ice coffee and a slake. For what it is, it is not a cheap place to eat. The food was good, the pancakes were nice and fluffy 🥞 the bacon crispy and the scrambled eggs creamy. The portion was good as they added a full sausage and potatoes. The knife was not cutting much and it was noisy.

    Good brunch options. Nice cocktails. We were well looked after by the team with plenty of drinks during bottomless brunch.

  • 3/5 Ian W. 2 years ago on Google
    Very easy to book (and worth doing - very popular with queues to get in). Good size table, comfortable seating, decent table separation. Extensive menu, quick service with coffee while we waited for another couple. Discounts for over 65 (!) The food was a tad cool when it arrived, and one of the coffees didn't reach us before we paid. Polite adjustment of the bill when pointed that out. Would recommend, but arrive on time with your whole party.

    Was looking for Bill's restaurant where I'd had a brunch before. Its gone! Found the Breakfast Club which looked sort of similar. Can't say I'll be rushing back, service was bit slow and relaxed, no drinks for ages. Food came first. Food was OK but won't be writing home about it. I had fried chicken/french toast. Chicken was probably overdone and very crispy like it had been refried (who knows). The French toast was far to thick, and tasteless, just a squaddgy mass - but edible. My companion had Nashville fried chicken benedict. Chicken was the same, overdone, eggs were perfect, but the whole thing was covered in a burningly hot sauce, IMHO not in keeping with the rest of the dish. Whatever, it was all edible, so there you go. Disappointed with what we got for the price. Hell's larger and an alcohol free cocktail went down well on a very hot day.

    Cool vibe and the food was absolutely delicious. I got the breakfast burrito. Really filling and tasted like the ingredients were just pulled from a garden. Employees were awesome.

  • 5/5 Kevin John M. 2 years ago on Google
    It has a super nice atmosphere and the portions are quiet big! The cappuccino was exceptionally good and the veggie table was great! Free WiFi is also available! A great place to stay overall.

  • 5/5 Jay J. 2 years ago on Google
    If you need a curer then certainly worth a visit for a home feel cooked breakfast and mugs of coffee.

  • 5/5 Louise Grace A. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely waiters, I was half an hour early for my booking but they let me sit and wait for my friend. I was given a free coffee when they made an extra that was going to waste and when my friends coffee was late they made her a free one too. Really friendly and nice, food was incredible.

  • 3/5 Ashley T. 2 years ago on Google
    Massive portions and fast service. Comfy atmosphere. Service optional but included on your bill. £3.10 for a flat white is a bit steep.

  • 1/5 Ali C. 2 years ago on Google
    Rubbish. Sunday morning. Queued for 20 minutes on word of mouth. Wasn’t told how long the wait would be, or even greeted. Others joined the queue equally confused. Finally let in and told food would take some time. Green juice came in two minutes. Taste was atrocious. Ordered quickly, food did indeed take a long time. Chased it after 40 minutes and it arrived immediately. Presumably had been sitting around… Ordered disco hash. It was well seasoned and very tasty - it was also 95% potatoes with 6 pieces of chopped chorizo. Generous serving, no variety. Also ordered Eggs Florentine. Bland taste, uninspired.

  • 5/5 Jack A. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing atmosphere, staff were responsive, fun and respectful. This quaint location hidden down Rufus Street is somewhat of a Mary Poppins handbag! Portion sizes are huge, and the bill was respectable! Can highly recommend the Cornflake Fried Chicken Sandwich and the Eggs Benedict.

  • 4/5 Lewis 2 years ago on Google
    Good place to grab a decent breakfast, the only reason why I gave a 4* is that it's slightly too expensive when you include the service charge. The food itself was nice, but wasn't ground breaking. If you are looking for a solid breakfast place, I would recommend.
