The Breakfast Club in Brighton and Hove

Amazing food and service . Gri couldn't have been any more helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend a visit.

It's the most rubbish place I have been! Rubbish food nothing to do with real English breakfast all most k left beyond the plate! Then the bill? £23 I never seen a food place like that! And I don’t think they have a real. Chef! And the food it look like they ready served go other customers!

We were served by the lovely Gri on Monday morning who was super helpful and friendly! Our food was lovely and I’m glad I popped in for my birthday breakfast here!!

Had to visit since everyone seems to praise the place for their delicious pancakes and breakfast in general, but I must say the place is hyped a bit too much. The food was good, don't get me wrong, there is just nothing special about it. The pancakes were personally a bit too sweet, but that's just me not having a sweet tooth. Service was great, the atmosphere with the music playing in the background is definitely for the plus. It's a great place for breakfast just not anything over the top. It can get quite busy during the weekends so I would definitely advise to book in advance if you don't want to wait an hour or so for the table.

In summary, great food, great service, lazy and poor accessibility offering. For full review including photos, see potato_world_and_beyond on Instagram!

It's not bad~ but I don't think it feels like you have to go there. The food isn't bad either

Griselda made our visit to The Breakfast Club absolutely wonderful! Her kindness, attentiveness, and warm demeanor made us feel right at home. The cozy ambiance of the restaurant added to the charm, and the food was simply outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Griselda’s excellent service truly elevated the experience. I can’t recommend this place enough for a delightful breakfast in Brighton!

I had a fantastic experience at Breakfast Club! I ordered the Full Monty, along with a coffee and a mimosa, and everything was absolutely delicious. The service was quick, and Griselda’s attentive care truly made my visit exceptional. She went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and well taken care of. Highly recommended for a great breakfast and amazing hospitality!

GRI was lovely and friendly made us very welcome with grate service!

Thanks Gri for the excellent service! Came here twice during my holiday! Excellent breakfast!

Breakfast was amazing!!! Gri, our waitress was lovely and friendly without being too obtrusive. Two people shared one Greasy Spoon breakfast (3 bacon, 2 sausage, 2egg, beans, and 2 hash browns between us) and had two portions of toast (door stops); v full now! All coffees were additional charges though, not included. Great that the dog was also welcome. Thank you Breakfast Club. Will return when next in Brighton!!!

Griselda is the best ( the whole staff really!) way helpful and friendly. I felt really comfortable and will definitely be back.

Awesome service & lovely brunch. Thanks Rachel for looking after us :)

We arrived as a party of 5 with no reservation, we were shown how to book a space on the queue system and told approx 20-30mins so we went and walked in the lanes. Within 10mins we were in :) the service was brilliant, lovely calm atmosphere and the food was incredible! Was so glad we came along. Very grateful of the kindness shown by the staff.

We were rushed by the waitress whilst obviously still dining. On three occasions she harangued us with the bill and put a reserved sign on the table while we were still eating. She ruined our day.

Great food & great service, John is the best ⭐️

John was our server and he was great! Super nice and friendly, food was so good! Great for vegans ♥️

Brilliant food, slightly expensive but tasty

Fantastic vibey place! Love it here, staff are amazing and the food is delicious! Definitely will be back

Long wait, expensive, mixed feelings about the food, one person's order was wrong, nice drinks, friendly staff

Great brunch with the family. Food as spot on and staff were brilliant. We’ll be back!

This place is amazing! We didn’t have a table booked and they quickly accommodated us as a walk in for 5 plus a highchair. Food was served quick and was really delicious. Rachel our server was so attentive and friendly. A must visit in Brighton!

Great atmosphere. Lovely food and fantastic service from Rachel this morning.

Had a gorgeous brunch with a friend. Rachel was lovely and really accommodating with our picky eating needs 🙃 thank you!

Rachel was lovely, very friendly and attentive. Love the food here. Will be back!

Rachel served us today, great food and great atmosphere with quick service. Rachel has the coolest hair!

Came this morning and I’m coming back!! A must visit for a trip to Brighton, our server Jen was helpful and sweet and advised us on the all American which was the perfect thing and I’m still full from it!

We arrived this morning and were told to scan a QR code even though there were several empty tables, that seemed to remain empty during our 45 minute wait. We ordered our food and drinks. The drinks arrived right away, but the food took almost an hour and people that were sat after us at several tables had gotten their food. So we talked to the waitress and asked if our order had not been put in, she told us it had, but suddenly after she went to the kitchen to check then our food appeared. The food was luke warm and pretty tasteless. For two people at 56 pounds and all in all nearly a two hour wait it really ruined our morning outing for breakfast. Please steer clear, there are much nicer places, with friendlier staff, better food and faster service.

we stood waiting for a table! not acknowledged for a good 5 mins! service was very good considering only 2 staff working & busy..the food 2xthe breakfast club club was disappointing quite bland..very filling but tasteless..notsure we will be back..

By far some of the best potatoes I've eaten in ever.

Nice place. Bit pricy but good food

Waited almost half an hour for a breakfast. Gave up in the end and left hungry.

Amazing service, yummy iced peach tea and fabulous cooked breakfast. A must when in Brighton

A great place to go if you need a filling American style breakfast that will keep you going for the rest of the day.

Muffin was rock hard and so hard to cut but the place was so busy I didn’t want to complain. The big breakfast we ordered was luke warm. Eggs florentine was so flavourful but muffin being rock hard was not great

Fabulous food, amazing service, and great music! As a solo customer, I was made to feel very welcome and comfortable. A really good experience 😊

Food was expensive for what it was, but still great atmosphere

Staff are great, decor and soundtrack very nice. Approx 30 minutes wait for a table turned into well over an hour, then from ordering to food arriving 50 minutes. If you have nothing to do for a large chunk of your day, give it a go. If you have a life, swerve it.

Unfortunately this was not a good experience today. We normally have a good meal there with excellent service but today it wasn’t good. We had been waiting a while for drinks and it wasn’t until we grabbed the waiter as he was seating another table that we were served. And then out food was lukewarm when it did come out. It seemed that they had a large order going out for delivery before our food and it meant ours was waiting to go cold whilst they packed this up. For the cost, it just wasn’t good enough. I wouldn’t go there again. Which is such a shame as other experiences have been good.

Amazing, I thought at first it was a little pricey but when I received my breakfast it was worth every single penny! Top quality food! Also great latte.

Friendly staff and great food. With 80’s music playing for a great vibe

Nice place to go. Never been before but would go again

Fab food & atmosphere. I had the big stack & it was made to perfection! Staff so welcoming & friendly. Can’t wait to go back! Thanks all!!!

"Fantastic experience from start to finish! The front-of-house team at The Breakfast Club are professional and welcoming, even with the caf’ always busy. The new menu, especially the BYO (build your own) option, is a great touch, and the food is delicious. It’s a welcoming spot for everyone—hard to get a table, but absolutely worth it!"

Really disappointing experience here this Sunday. It was difficult to even order our food as no-one returned to take our food order after getting drinks and once we did order there was then a 40 min wait for the food to arrive. Other people arrived, ordered, ate their food and left within the time it took for ours to come. I haven't been to a Breakfast Club for quite a few years and ordered Huevos Rancheros which I have previously enjoyed but it was nothing like I remembered. The eggs were poorly cooked, underdone with runny egg whites but the yolk cooked through, the chorizo was in the form of small flavourless overcooked pebbles, there was no soured cream or refried beans just a pointless scattering of a few black beans, the whole thing was under seasoned and in measly portions. My partner enjoyed her meal but her scrambled eggs were also overdone. There are so many other places doing great brunch in Brighton it doesn't make sense to go here as it isn't what it used to be.

Came today with friends for Sunday brunch and had the best time! Best pancakes I think I’ve ever had.. And the staff were all top notch! Alfie who served us, was so lovely and made sure we got everything we needed even though it was super busy in the restaurant. Will defo be back! Also loved the tunes!

Was absolutely disgusted at the welcome I received at your Brighton restaurant just now. Turned up, someone said “hi” as if to help me then walked straight past. Next person turned up a couple of minutes later asked the guy behind me “how can I help you” and as I was in front of the other guy and closest to him, I cut in and said “yes, there is 2 of us and 3 dogs” and he said in a very condescending manner “you can sit down but we’re not doing food”. Shocked at his manner, I said “oh, ok then” and turned around to leave and heard him say to the person behind that there was an hour and a half wait for food. I thought to myself, why couldn’t he have said that to me rather than his rude tones. Maybe didn’t like us bringing our fur babies? Diabolical customer service. Have been before with no bother but this has ruined it for us. Won’t be back.

Best spot in Brighton for brekkie. The staff were attentive despite how busy the restaurant was. 10/10

Having been recommended it by a family member, myself and a few friends decided to stop in for lunch at The Breakfast Club several days ago during our visit to Brighton. We were really amazed by how welcoming, friendly and attentive the staff were during our time there. The portions are big and the atmosphere is so much fun. All the food we tried was so delicious and we will definitely be returning next time we’re over this way!

Highly recommend this place for a brunch with friends!! Friendly staff, good music and vibes, and delicious food. Ed, the barista, makes the best caramel oat latte in Brighton! Will definitely be back again soon!

Amazing breakfast, always receive a warm welcome from staff even when cafe is full and slammed. I will be back for the chorizo hash 💚

Great Breakfast, could have done with a bigger plate! ' - but tasty and original. nice cup of tea °

My fav place to brunch 😋 😍 Great food. Friendly service and a great atmosphere. They play great music too!

Always a friendly welcome here and the food is good! I took one star off as the coffee was quite bitter, this time I think it was maybe a bit burnt. Good music and atmosphere. It does get busy so book to avoid disappointment.

Came down with the family for a day off, and ended up at the breakfast club for lunch. We had an absolutely fantastic time, with great tunes, great service and brilliant pancakes - would highly recommend!

Absolutely disappointed. It's really annoying to pay 14 pounds for per person smashed avocado on dry bread (not even sourdough and very very not fresh) and one meaningless pouch egg on top that arrives 20 minutes later. No taste. This is not a portion of a breakfast and is not worth the money. Also, the orange juice that comes in a glass full of ice is not worth the money because there was no orange juice in it, just full ice. It doesn't make sense for a coffee to cost 4.50 It's just an illusion. It shouldn't be that easy to exploit people's feelings of having breakfast in the morning. Anyway it was a really bad day.

Friendly service, the food was filling and tasty

Pancakes are amazing! I enjoyed them

Stop by for breakfast, and its quite good. The coffee is great but the pancakes and french toast are quite standard. The ambience is very nice and all the waiters are amazingly friendly.

Won’t go again as dojo app was wrong. Trash service if can’t get basic things like that correct. Update: it's actually somewhat incorrect. You can control the queue times on Dojo, as it's a service you have subscribed to. If the staff can't manage the app correctly, I would suggest removing the virtual queueing system and stick to a more standard system if it is too complex.

This was our first time coming here and we ordered a tap water, latte, veggie breakfast roll and avocado + extras on sourdough. The total came to 31.50 - tiny portions that didn’t reflect the price as both of us left quite hungry. £10 for some avocado and cheese in a small roll did feel a little insulting, especially as it tasted quite oily. My sourdough for £14 was only one slice of bread! When it came to paying the receipt was put upside down on the table and at the same time, the waitress handed over the card machine which we felt a little obliged to tap straight away. Only after paying did we get a chance to look at the receipt where we were charged a £3.50 service fee. We normally tip at restaurants, especially smaller/independent places but we didn’t feel the service deserved anything as the waiters weren’t very friendly/welcoming and we had to remind them we wanted tap water after they forgot to give it to us originally. In the end, we got up to get the tap water ourselves - which would’ve been okay if they’d told us to do so originally and didn’t expect a service fee for! Generally very disappointed which is sad because the menu looked lovely and the inside was quite nice.

Great breakfast. Recomended to book table online. We did not and had to wait fore more than hour.

Good atmosphere, good food but very expensive for what it is and the portion sizes. Took 40 mins for food to Come out and bread was a bit tough too. But good coffee and still yummy.

Really solid diner style breakfast

Great experience at The Breakfast Club with big portion tasty food. Music was just a bit too loud but otherwise they are my kind of songs.

Everything was fantastic. Apart from the homeless using the toilets. Staff are lovely food was great. There are no signs on the toilets, whilst waiting to use a baby changing toilet that I was waiting for just under 15 minutes, people come and go to use the toilets but homeless use toilets to wash them selves or use taps to drink water. Obviously I witnessed this waiting for the one toilet that had baby changing facilities (no signs) as they left the door open while drinking water and washing them selves. Gave up waiting for baby change facilities and put my daughter on the floor under the stairs. Please note I have nothing against the homeless and completely understand why they are needing to use the toilets. However having a 9 month old baby that needed her nappy changing, makes you feel a tad angry.

Nice to be fare but a little overrated and priced

This is what you call a breakfast

Very slow. About 25 mins between ordering and getting food.

It was lovely, the big stack nearly defeated me and I’m writing this while still here. It tasted lovely and the speed of delivery and service was lovely . I’m only visiting but I will definitely come again

Omg it was amazing The food was so good, really filling Just genuinely really good atmosphere And fixed my hangover

The food was pretty good, but for the price I think there are much better spots in the area. The service was lovely, but food and coffee was overpriced for what you get.

Such a nice spot! Serviced by John who was so friendly. Really nice relaxed atmosphere with great music and delicious food. Would book before going as waiting time for walk-ins was approx 1hr.

This place gets very busy so book ahead. Lovely staff super friendly. Menu pretty much what you expect for a good brunch venue. Good feel to the place

Gorgeous food. Well worth booking a table. Helpful friendly staff.

My recent outing to the establishment provided me with a plethora of sensations. Let me take you back to when i first arrived. After a whimsical walk through the town of brighton, i stumbled upon a breakfast cafe. “PERFECT!” I thought as my belly grumbled with joy. Upon entering the doorway i was hit with what i can only describe as a punch in the face full of smells. Its took me back to a time in my life full of pain and discomfort. The smell of iron was so strong that if i closed my eyes i could hear the clinking of gym equipment in the vicinity. The smell of the basement toilet was something that cannot be laughed about. As i walked further down the steps it was as if i was entering a medieval street (a time where excrement was regularly thrown into the streets as plumbing wasn’t around). On returning to my table i looked down and was winked at by a piece of chorizo that had moulded itself into the floor, cheeky fella. I then asked to be moved outside where i was yet again pleased to see that the cleaning had not been done. The table looked like the interior wall of a local bin. Thankfully i had to wait 30 minutes for my meal to arrive so it allowed me to really soak up the scenes. The food was quite nice once it decided to come although the egg had clearly been sat in boiling water for half an hour so was tough as old boots. Even though the hygiene was atrocious and the food took as long to arrive as paint takes to dry, i didn't actually have an awful time however that was most likely due to my friends keeping me in high spirits. Overall i would rate my experience “poor-average” and would give it a flaccid 3/10. Probably wouldn't visit again however if every other restaurant in brighton was closed for the day, i might pop my head in.

Lovely spot in Brighton, gorgeous decor, cool music that goes with the look. Lovely food - massive portions and the staff cool and friendly. We had an Irish guy who was so friendly and seemed to really love his job which added to the ambience and vibe. Highly recommend.

Expensive and 40-minute wait for breakfast, several frustrated delivery drivers / take out customers obviously waiting a long time outside too. When it arrived it was o.k. Frustrated with "optional" 15% service charge: a) FIFTEEN PERCENT? This isn't america, and as for optional, the card reader was presented with it already added... had better in other cafes around Brighton...

Every time I visit Brighton I always go thier for my breakfast stuff great food an service

Food was great with fantastic service from Claire - will definitely return!

Enjoyed the All Day Breakfast & our waitress Rachel was lovely.

Great breakfast and fantastic service (thanks Rachel!), kids loved the pancake balls and so did we

Had a delightful time at The Breakfast Club, served by the lovely Rachel. Service was excellent, food came quickly and was delicious. Had an all round great time.

We had a great brunch there today! The food was delicious and the cosy atmosphere was made for a great meal. Rachel served us and she was exceptional—attentive and friendly. Her service truly elevated the experience. I’ll certainly be back for more!

One of my all time favourite places to brunch in Brighton! Amazing food and lovely upbeat atmosphere 🥰 and we're always taken care of by the staff. Particular shout-out to Rach for being an absolute legend on my most recent visit! They were so welcoming and helpful, made our trip a real delight!

I love this place!! Everybody is so friendly and welcoming and the food is so good (great vegan options). Claire in particular was very personable and helpful! :D

Had a lovely breakfast. Our waitress, Rachel, was very friendly and happy to help 😁

Ordered some pancakes & coffee - had to wait an incredibly long time, the coffee was cold and the pancakes had a label in them that I ended up chewing... Not worth the time or money. Disgusting. Avoid.

This is a fabulous place for breakfast brunch. Only 3 for service as it was slow. But our waiter was great. Friendly and helpful. Really lovely food. Pancake meal. Thick. Warm. Bacon, scrambled eggs ,sausage. All well cooked and good portion size. Great coffee too. Nice atmosphere really buzzy.

Food itself wasn’t bad - although they got the order wrong. But the service was painfully slow - and this was a fairly empty Wednesday morning. Based on the service wouldn’t return

Great Food, Lovely Environment and Fantastic Staff. Made very welcome and would definitely recommend!

Amazing food and lovely Bloody Mary!

Very hard working staff and the food was delicious!

Friendly staff, very accommodating. The place has a great vibe. It was really busy on a Monday morning so I'm sure at the weekend it's even more hectic. The music is a little too loud and with all the people it's hard to have a conversation. The wait for our food was a little on the long side at 35 minutes but it was decent quality so no big deal. The menu is cool and varied with some delights like the French bread with chocolate dip. The fried breakfast 'full monty' is okay. Although for the size of the portions (1 sausage, 2 tiny strips of burnt to a crisp bacon and 1 hash brown) it's bit on the expensive side at £16.95. I love that the beans were homemade and not just from a can.

A really nice and courteous service. We had a great breakfast and would love to come back. Unreservedly recommended.

I had a lovely time with my family there! The best breakfast I have ever had

Great breakfast, make sure you have a reservation!

Been here many times but this time wasn't as great. The home style potatoes weren't as crispy as they once were and were over salted. The atmosphere was chaotic and it took me 10 mins just to be able to order. I get it's a Sunday and everyone is trying to go out for breakfast but with 2 extra members of staff and a good more amount of care in the food department, this place can really improve to what it once was.

The food was good. The the Full Monty is well overpriced (personal opinion)

El desayuno más caro y más lento de mi vida … más de una hora entre la espera en la calle y el ponernos el desayuno, unos 90€ total para 4 personas. El desayuno muy normal y regular
