A group of us went down for a mid week banquet expecting a feast of breakfast options, some initially unsure of the idea, especially as the cafe was BYO. To be honest the idea of mixing wine with a breakfast meal didn't tickle my fancy however others brought along bottles to down throughout the evening.
The Breakfast Club decor had a quirky, vintage, and American kitsch feel to it. Almost like we should be in a milkshake and burger shack in California in the 80's. On the bright yellow feature walls there were street signs, old records and pictures stuck to the wall and we were seated on vintage wooden chairs and tables, those similar to what we used to use at primary school. The outside of the building is painted in the brand yellow and therefore sticks out with the brickwork in the Soho street. Which makes it easy to find for newcomers like us.
The menu boasts a plethora of breakfast options however disappointingly that they only serve this until 5pm. The evening menu consists of classic burgers, burritos, hot and cold sandwiches, all with a range of fries and salads. They only have three options breakfast on the menu after 5pm which involves eggs bene, big breakfast and pancakes. Despite having been very keen for breakfast at dinner time I ended up choosing the 'The Number 3 Wrap' which consisted of goats cheese, roast aubergine, peppers, pesto and 3 tomato chutney.
In fact none of our group ended up getting a breakfast option, disappointing really. Maybe it was because the rest of the options sounded more appealing for dinner time. My other companions chose dishes of the Chorizo Burrito, Chicken Burrito, a Hot Pastrami sandwich and a massive burger that had a good name and a fried egg.
Feedback consisted of "this burger is huge", "the chorizo's so spicy" and "this is tasty". All the meals came out in good time, and were all appealing in looks, despite my somewhat unflattering photos.
The service was good, my peanut butter milkshake rocked my socks off, as it did to the rest of my team as the waitress brought out the excess shake which wouldn't fit into the glass.
Overall the Breakfast Club was a fun idea, good service and tasty meals. I am not sure I would dine there for dinner again unless I ordered the breakfast options, but I will definitely be back for breakfast, brunch or lunch on more than one occasion.
