The Breakfast Club, Soho, London

A place I always ending up at after weekend including too many pints or if I just want to have a safe choice including a full breakfast of all flavours. Looking for a nice brunch place hidden off on small street in central London – The Breakfast Club. Recommend – http://londonsvenskar.com/nicolejacobsen/

went to had a evening meal on last wednesday..was quiet.....had a bbq burger..was awesome.like the way its been cooked...had it before around 6 months ago but was not properly cooked but this time was well cooked....friendly staff...nice 80s music.....had some chat with Chef as well when i Went downstairs (rest room),,was good .... (asian lookalike) but was cute as well..ohoooohoohoo..hope I ll see himm again next week...

This one is a little hard to find - which may explain why it was quite empty when I went. On a friday night no less.

But is still an amazing place to go - pretty intimate, nicely decorated, very friendly staff and delicious food for massively reasonable prices.

BYOB is a delight and rare to find outside Brick Lane.

A great spot for some nice grub and long chats with friends.

Go with an appetite.

I thought TBC was a cute establishment. Nice atmosphere for a place dedicated to breakfast! Food was just okay. And it could happen to anyone... but on the very occasion that I thought I should try Marmite on toast for the first time: the toast served up was moldy.

Better luck next time for me. I'd go back and just have a fresh squeezed juice. ;)

Great place for breakfast, but as mentioned by another reviewer, if you get there to late, the queues are long.

I love it though. The food is always great - good produce and prepared well.

They do a good coffee too.

A little trick if you work or live nearby in the event of the queues... Get their breakfast box to take away. It's an amazing value full breakfast, and you don't have to wait for ages to get it!

Fantastic place!

We stayed in London over the weekend and fancied a big English on the Saturday morning! After searching on Qype we found this place and the reviews were good so we thought let's give it a try. We arrived around 10.30 and the place was packed! We were told very nicely that we would have to wait outside, there was a queue of around six in front if us. How had we missed them walking in! Waiting outside was nice as it was a crisp sunny morning and it wasn't long before we were given a very tight table. We ordered the full Monty and the half Monty and the portions were huge, only thing missing was a sausage and this was soon rectified. The place had an energetic buzz, and the staff were very friendly. When we left about an hour and a half later the queue was around 20!

Great place, highly recommended!

Great place !
Everything is delicious, special mark for the big plates and the milk shake expresso !

I went their with a friend to have breakfast on a weekday. While portion size is generous I cannot say that I was overwhelmed. Especially when you compare this to other breakfasts, for example The Pavillion in Victoria Park. The noise level is pretty high: Bad acoustics due to the structure of room and loud music made a conversation challenging, and it wasn't even full. I can only imagine the noise level on a weekend.

Nonetheless the breakfast was good. I'd recommend their branch in Angel over this one.

It's crowded, it's lively - and it's a fantastic place for a Sunday brunch - as can be seen by the many people standing outside waiting for a table.
The breakfasts are filling, delicious and varied, the service is quick and friendly. Overall a really great, friendly and cheerful place to have a tasty breakfast or brunch.

Have visited the Breakfast club a few times before the most recently being this weekend

Word of warning... tables on a weekend are near impossible to get so be prepared to wait or go early! Especially if you have a party of 3 or more as most of the tables are for 2.

We went at about 11am on Sunday since nothing opens in London til about 11/12 but wished we went at 9 when it opened as the queue had about 6 people before us and from what I could see through the window everyone had just started eating!

Anyway went back the next day and got a table no problem. The decor is very kitsch and 'cluttered' with mismatched tables and chairs and with only about 9 or 10 tables in the cafe it is certainly small!

Ordered orange juice, pancakes, granola and a full monty breakfast.

Yes the food takes a while to come which I actually quite like as you can tell it's cooked to demand. The orange juice was freshly squeezed too.

Portions are very large! It took 3 people to finish off my granola with yogurt and berries as it was so big!

Pancakes came with fresh berries, yogurt, and a little pot of maple syrup (I hate it when places pour the syrup on the pancakes as they just soak it up instantly and the pancakes taste dry)

Full Monty breakfast had 2 fried eggs with runny yolks and big doorstopper slices of bread along with beans, sausages, bacon etc

I would say very good value for money especially for the portion sizes
Pancakes were just under £5, Granola was £4 and Full Monty was £8

Definately recommened just be prepared to wait!!

I enjoyed it and would definitely return, though probably not in a great hurry. I’d tried to get in once before on a weekday lunchtime and couldn’t get into the door, but finally succeeded last weekend.

It is pretty cramped and you’d probably be better off heading there early in the morning to make sure you get a seat, but the food was good and pretty quick (we both had the American). Came to about £20 for two with a drink each which wasn’t too bad.

A kitsch hippy take on the American Diner. The service is fine with friendly staff who spend a lot of time apologising for the slow kitchen in the basement. The All American Breakfast is not as good as I could make at home, the Traditional English was very plain - poor cuts of bacon and cheap baked beans!

Fine if you are passing by, but don’t believe the hype.

The Breakfast Club is more about being brilliantly and kitsch-tastically nostalgic for the '80s than it is about getting a good hearty breakfast in you.

The decor, the ambiance and the 'vibe’ (yeah, I hate that saying too) are all spot on; from the comedy blackboard outside spouting breakfast-relevant witticisms to the Happy Meal toys from your childhood and the photos of brat pack flicks on the walls, it’s a nice place to discover.

Portions are sizable and the menu features all the staple breakfast items you’d hope for; but the food is reasonably greasy and in some cases a little on the bland side. Oh, and if you’re not a fan of grimeyness then I’d steer clear. I can imagine clean-freaks would get the urge to don the marigolds and give the whole place a good scrub.

It’s a tiny little cafe so there aren’t that many seats, and it can get freakishly warm and smell a bit like toilets if you sit right in the back. But it’s a fun place to visit occasionally, especially when you’re in the mood for a good old fry up.

Right after a decent flat white at milk bar, i feel a bit hungry so i decide to went in to have a quick bite here. The food was great especially breakfast burrito, remind me when i was in State what a great time i had over there.

I found it hard to review The Breakfast Club without bias for two reasons. 1) they are named after one of my favourite movies 2) they gave me a cute breakfast club badge- for free.
I know that is quite pathetic, but when was the last time you got to eat a great big fresh and wholesome salad, with friendly soho-ites chatting to you without invitation (I swear it’s true) while wearing a free funky badge?
Simple really. This is a cute, cosy and fun place where the food is consistently good and by association you find yourself smiling remembering Emilio Estevez as the most active stoner ever.

Had a great bacon and egg bagel for brunch. My friends’ English breakfasts were a little light on vegetables (don’t recall any tomato - this is a serious omission) but everyone was happy with portions and quality.

Mood carries this place. Yellow walls filled with bric a brac like covers of Bruce Willis albums (yes, albums!). And the staff care: about you, about their establishment, about breakfast.

This is the first place I found using Qype and what fabulous results.

I got converted to espresso at this place and it certainly packed a punch. Wonderful.

The day’s most important meal just got its own restaurant. I wonder aloud if one is allowed to eat here all day?

I’ve walked pass this place many times and always wondered what it was like behind the bright yellow exterior. So I was pleased when a friend suggested we go there. I really liked it. The place has a great vibe - really relaxed and friendly. A welcome antidote to the many chain places around and to me captures the spirit of Soho. I only had a coffee, which was only ok. But the huge sandwiches my friends had looked great and were enjoyed. I will be going back to try the food for myself.

What a cool place to go for breakfast, I’m surprised I’ve only just found out about the place, what with the film being one of my favourites! English or American, the breakfast doesn’t disappoint and the please has a really friendly and informal atmosphere to it. Worth going to if you take pride in the most important meal of the day. Coffee is decent also.

I used to go almost every weekend but the last few times I’ve been its really gone down hill. Maybe its just a blip but the service has been erratic, the food not like it used to be (and on one occasion not cooked properly) and the music changed from disco to rave. Maybe its just got too busy and too popular but they just don’t seem to have kept up with demand. Still one of the better places for breakfast in the area but realy not as good as it should or used to be.

A great place for any time of day, not just for breakfast! The eclectic decor, great food and location are just right for a either a mid-shop lunch for those who start early, or a meeting spot for those who don’t often see the morning!! And the fact tht it doesn’t do alcohol makes it the perfect get away spot for the morning after the night before for those of us for whom the hair of the dog is more hinderance than help!
Food is wholesome, filling, tasty and cheap (ie amazing!) and the service is always very friendly, if not always totally on the ball… I also have had to chase up drink orders in this joint!
A regular haunt wrapped up in pretty paper and tied with a bow. With bacon.
