The Breakfast Club in Islington

The breakfast was delicious! Staff are very friendly and a cozy atmosphere

I went to a busy time on Saturday, I waited a long time, other than that, my breakfast was delicious.🍳☕️

Very nice breakfast, many choices, beautiful space and very kind staff

delish!!!! love the big stack 😋😋🥞🥞

Amazing place for pancake day. Especially when you’ve gone for a 5K run. The music, the staff, the vibes all on point

Came here with family on Sunday 9th March for brunch and ended up with a bad case of food poisoning (hospitalised) from what I assume was cross-contamination as they were very busy. Such a shame as the service and atmosphere was decent considering how busy they were. I had poached eggs and avocado on toast with chorizo.

Clean , comfortable interior. Food was excellent. One coffee , one hot chocolate and one club sandwich £24 which included gratuity. My only gripe was that the portions were slightly on the small side. Would I go back ? YES.

The food is average, something you could make at home. I come to this place to socialise and meet my friend for breakfast occasionally.

Average food and too expensive. The cutlery is dirty and the egg and bacon undercooked. Will likely not return. Coffee is good

Perfectly cooked bacon and eggs! Delicious!

We recently had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant for breakfast, and it was a fantastic experience! The food was delicious, featuring interesting combinations of ingredients and spices that truly delighted our taste buds. While the prices are a bit higher, it's worth noting that London has generally become more expensive over the past year, and this restaurant seems to be following that trend. After our first visit, we received a 30% off coupon for our next meal, which was a lovely surprise. Since we were so satisfied, we decided to return the following day to try more dishes. I highly recommend the banana bread for a sweet breakfast treat—it’s simply amazing!

Lovely cafe with a great atmosphere. I only ordered a hot chocolate but their menu was comprehensive and offered a good variety. Plus, the food everyone else was having looked amazing. Good prices too, for the location. Would definitely come again! 🤩

Delicious, good service, vanilla pancakes are very delicious.

usual amazing food and atmosphere at The Breakfast Club + great service and friendship by Gabriele and all the Staff… see you again in the future!

Very disappointed. We waited a very long time for our meals. The quality was very poor and cold. I ordered a sandwich and was not expecting to get a brioche bun (but my mistake I didn't read well). Anyway the bun was very small and had a lot of fillings so after the first bite everything fell apart. It was very messy to eat and everything was very cold included the cheese that supposed to be melted. Also, it's expensive for what you get.

This was my regular spot for a morning meeting until they hired a new member of staff who's so rude and unhelpful that I stopped going.

It's OK, but I don't understand the enthusiasm caused by this restaurant, which specializes in English breakfasts: you can find better ones and with less waiting. Afterwards, it still does the job and the staff is friendly.

Always have a great time here. Came here this morning and was nice and quiet for a Tuesday. Have had the same tall waiter serve me a few times before and he’s always very friendly and good at his job. Food always gorgeous as well. Will keep coming back

Muy ocupado, pero gran servicio! Fui a mi desayuno de cumpleaños, fue excelente comida, volveré de nuevo un día x La joven sirviendo con vasos era hermosa.

Delicious greasy breakfast on a beautiful street. Unfortunately no chai tea

We had an excellent experience, the food and service were excellent and the location is really lovely to spend time in. Good options for different dietary needs and everything is well sourced and cooked perfectly.

Very good restaurant, lots of choice. The breakfasts are quite generous and delicious! I recommend

We arrived half an hour before our reservation and were seated immediately! The restaurant had a warm and inviting atmosphere, complemented by friendly staff. The menu offered so many tempting options that it was hard to decide, but we eventually opted for classic breakfast dishes. The portions were generous, especially for the price. We also appreciate that they leave a jug of water at our table, eliminating the need to constantly ask for refills.

Cool place to grab a good breakfast to start the day. Has a bit of a cult classic vibe as one would expect. Our kids loved the pancakes, the salmon/Benedict were great too.

Waiting time was way too long especially when you’re only allowed to have the table for one hour.

Hello, it was the 24th, if we need to buy the last 🎁 gifts for Christmas... but first a stop for a coffee, yes we have looked at different locations, there are many for a coffee in Angel station. But we decided to enter The Breakfast Club. It was very busy, we decided to wait. It was for a coffee and we looked at the menu and everything seemed very tempting, we really like avocado and we ordered everything with avocado and pancakes. The coffees were incredible, we even asked where the delicious coffee came from and it wasn't that the friendly and kind Mateo who served us commented that it came from my country Brazil 🇧🇷, how nice... We recommend 💯 x 💯 this place, if you fancy fresh, good, fast and with kind attention. Thank you Mateo, for your wonderful work👏👏, and thanks to the entire team for a job well done🙏👍. We recommend and we return yessss. Happy Christmas and beautiful 2025 to all 💖🙏

¡Tuve una experiencia increíble en The Breakfast Club by Angel! Las opciones de almuerzo eran absolutamente deliciosas, todo estaba fresco, sabroso y bellamente presentado. El ambiente es cálido y acogedor, perfecto para un descanso relajante o ponerse al día con los amigos. Un saludo especial a Gabriele y Gaia, que hicieron la experiencia aún mejor. Su amabilidad y atención al detalle eran excepcionales, y se esforzaron por asegurarse de que todo fuera perfecto. Muy recomendable — No puedo esperar a volver!

Me and my girlfriend had a lovely time there thanks to Gabriele and his team.

Cute little café, have reserved a table, I would also recommend! There's a lot going on, but still very quiet, rustic furnishings and very friendly staff. Reasonably priced and close to a tube station. Food was tasty and sufficient. Nice location to have breakfast or for coffee/tea.

Large portions of freshly cooked food.

Gaia, was very nice. Helped my friend and I with making sure we ordered the best meals off the menu. And Matteo made us laugh so much.

It is expensive there is no doubt, but if you’re looking for a good quality American-style breakfast then it is very hard to beat. The pancakes are authentically American. Some of the lesser found options too such as Huevos Rancheros. They do very good vegan/veggie swap outs. Good quality coffee and decent fresh orange juice. Quite close to actually having an all American breakfast in the US (other than the price). Staff are always lovely and do their best in a sometimes very busy restaurant where they do cram you in.

Great food, great staff… thank you

It was a quaint little place to have a great breakfast. The service was impeccable and staff very friendly

Ok food, but wait time was a bit long. Also a bit expensive.

Very good time with the full house! Just the piece of black pudding (I suppose) which I didn't like but that's a matter of taste. The rest was very good!

Vinimos aquí para el desayuno y era tan bueno! Disfrutamos mucho de nuestro tiempo junto con la comida. Mi pareja tenía panqueques con crema y fresas, mientras yo desayunaba hamburguesa y estaban deliciosos! Sin duda recomiendo!

My friend and I had the most amazing experience with our waiter Matteo! Extremely friendly and kept us laughing while we enjoyed a yummy, warm meal!

A 100% English experience everyone is friendly. The environment is clean and we had the pleasure of being served by Gabriele who was professional and very kind. I highly recommend. The English breakfast and scrambled eggs are super 👌

I was left waiting outside the restaurant for 15 minutes in heavy rain, despite having been told by the manager that as soon as a table was ready he would have let me in. Few days ago, I made a reservation for today’s brunch but something went wrong with the system and the reservation was made on the wrong day. I spoke with the supervisor about it and he told me that their system doesn’t work well as it doesn’t clearly say that bookings are not allowed on the weekends. Two women arrived later, without a reservation, and were immediately seated. When I questioned this, I was told that my table wasn't "complete" because my friend hadn't arrived yet. This is a ridiculous and unfair policy as my friend was about to come and I just asked to be seated so that I could start drinking my coffee! The staff's rude and dismissive behavior was shocking, and I suspect favoritism was at play. I strongly advise avoiding this place.

Food and service were great and Gabriele was a fantastic host. Thank you !

The place is great as well as true food, and Gabriele the manager very kind and talkative. Thank you!!

If you are looking for an authentic and delicious English breakfast, The Breakfast Club is the right place! The welcoming atmosphere and impeccable service make every visit a pleasure. In particular, Gabriele, who served us, was incredibly kind and attentive, adding a personal touch to the experience. The dish is a triumph of flavours: creamy, perfectly cooked scrambled eggs, garnished with a touch of chives, crispy bacon and a savory sausage that embodies traditional British flavour. All accompanied by a slice of toast and a fresh orange juice, ideal for starting the day with energy. For those looking for something different, their egg and avocado sandwich is equally delicious and rich. Every bite is an explosion of balanced and genuine flavours. Ultimately, a place that knows how to transform a simple breakfast into a special moment. Highly recommended!

The staff were so welcoming and lovely, the food very enjoyable. The Latte was incredible.

Great food, lovely service, thank you.

Been here 3 times always great food & Service

Excellent typical English breakfast, friendly staff

Less good quality than in the past. Very long time to get a table (reservation recommended) and to be served. The quality is not worth all the waiting.

My colleagues and I visited over lunch today and I ordered rather hastily a Caesar salad, small portion. I didn’t really see much on the menu except that it came with chicken and it was either £12 or £6. Now in any world you’d think that both portions come with chicken- as it states on the menu- but in here, they didn’t. The small portion came in a tiny kids bowl AND it didn’t have chicken. I asked and apparently it said on the menu. I checked and it’s written in such way that you won’t really notice unless you’ve been there before and you’ve made the mistake so to say. Overall, for the £6 I paid it was not worth it. Perhaps in the future when people order small Chicken Caesar salad - they should be told that you don’t serve small.

Everything was perfect! The place, the atmosphere, the hearty and delicious breakfasts! We didn't have a reservation and the waitress was really nice to find us a table!

The food was good except I had a piece of eggshell forgotten to be removed. One of the staff was so noisy that I had to put on my earphones. I believe the customers come here to relax and enjoy their meal, not to listen to their conversation

Lovely scrambled eggs, smoked salmon, toast and coffee.

Excellent food and the friendliest staff

Excelente lugar para el brunch - las opciones de comida y bebida son fantásticas y la calidad del servicio es brillante. Lo recomendaría!

The food was okay! Coffee was good tho. The waitress probably hates her job.

Breakfast was lovely!!! Great service (especially Gabriele!!)

Loving brunch! Gabriele is very welcoming and kind! I loved their pancakes

We were happy to have a real English breakfast! Very friendly service, good advice for children

The pancakes were amazing, and Gabriele was kind and professional. Would recommend 100%.

Amazing Experience! Gabriele was really helpful and welcoming.

Gabriele was so nice, helpful and polite!! Thank you, best experience

Shout-out to Mateo and his food recommendations!

gluten free pancakes amazing and great service

We really enjoyed our time here at the Breakfast Club. This placed popped up on my friend’s Instagram feed and my initial thoughts upon entering the place were small but cozy. I went for the ‘Winner winner chicken dinner’, quite witty and humorous of a name that caught my eye. Contains fried chicken with potatoes on the side (chosen to how you’d like it, I opted for hash brown) and an additional side chosen from a few options with gravy. I opted for the fried green tomatoes. Chicken was lovely and crisped to perfection. Well seasoned. I’m not much of a tomato fan, but they made the tomatoes more fun and bearable to eat. Hash browns were soft and crispy. I tried my friend’s pancake and the they were soft and not too heavy on sweetness, just how I’d like it. Overall, very satisfying meal worth the price. I loved my latte and the little pumpkin latte art. Very cute. The guy that served us was very nice and we shared a few laughs. Staff are friendly. Service is good. Would come back here again as a lunch spot

The cafe was amazing , the vibe , music , employees that radiated positive vibes. The only thing I wish was that my meal wasn't spicy as I wasn't expecting it to be spicy . I got the beans and egg with avocado toast. Maybe I read the menu wrong though and didn't realise it was spicy but it was too spicy to eat and gave me embarrassing hiccups

The food was outstanding, and the service was friendly. Thanks!

2 tazas de café por £ 10. 13 y mediocre para arrancar. Un entorno bochornoso, camarero condescendiente, qué desgracia. O nos cobraron de más o este lugar está tomando la p.

Delicious food, amazing and super specific service, the guy that attended us was so cool ! I'm definitely coming back next time !

Excellent service and delicious food. They treated us very well with our little dog 🐕. We ordered huevos rancheros, full monty and pancakes. All delicious and generous portions. 100% recommendable.

Was a really lovely time, service and food were excellent! A real gem definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for a cute place to have brunch

Beautiful place. Super delicious

First visit in years after having moved away from London - and still a fantastic place for breakfast. Friendly staff, delicious food, great variety. We went again the next day.

Expensive, slow and small portion. I waited 45 minutes for 1 portion of pancake

Lovely place. The food is so good and fresh. The portion are generous and have nice presentation. I already want to return ☺️🙌🏻🩷

American pancakes dish was delicious and enormous. We were served very quickly and the menu choice was very good. Only criticism was that the staff were chatting a lot and it felt a bit awkward at times.

Waited 45 mins for food that wasn’t hot. Nothing to come back for.

Paid £14 for a breakfast and left hungry as portion wasn't to big. They could at least include toast or bread for which they charge extra. I was also surprised when they added service charge which in my opinion isn't cool. Including a small coffee they charged me £20 in total which in my opinion is a lot for small breakfast for 1 person.

Food is fine. Long queues on the weekends

Such a pleasant experience! Great food and great vibes! I have a gluten allergy and the staff made me feel welcomed and accommodated for. Thank you!

Cozy place and friendly staff. English breakfast as homemade and very good with typical products. London atmosphere in all respects. Great experience 👍

I tested several Breakfast Club addresses in London, this one is my favorite! The place is located in a very charming street, it is very large with the possibility of eating on the terrace. The interior decor is nice and cozy. The service was very pleasant, with a funny waiter and providing for any type of allergy or other. Always a delight, and a delight in each dish < 3 Lots of options for vg it's nice

Entered, was shown seat. Ordered a coffee to start.. Sat there for over 15 mins.. no coffee..and they were not busy...got up and walked out

Appallingly inattentive staff who were more interested in chatting to each other. Inattention all led to inclusion of an allergen in the food we received, even though we made a point of telling them we were avoiding it. Drink order was slightly wrong, coffee was also harsh. Food was largely tasteless - fried green tomatoes were a pointless travesty, egg had little taste, tofu scramble was also bland. Waitress seemed not to understand what we were saying well (hence part of the reason the order was wrong on 4 counts), which is a danger in a food establishment! We weren’t informed or apologised to for the protracted wait for food. We just sat and sat and sat for around 30 mins. Duty manager was very courteous, apologetic and light, which was fine, as was the removal of one dish from the menu, but these mistakes should not have happened in the first place; all of them on our table. It’s particularly sloppy. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone with any discernment, self-respect or tastebuds.

average food, nice atmosphere but won't go again

Had the American. Huge pancakes!

Not respect delivery driver bad service 🤬

Great food, great service, really helpful with food intolerances.

amazing breakfast and very fun/nice kind workers 🥰🥰 FAMILY & DOG FRIENDLY 🐕🐕 wish we lives closer so we could go more often 🥺✨

We recently hit up The Breakfast Club and honestly, we were blown away—not just by the food, but by the top-tier service from Gabriele, the manager. From the second we walked in, Gabriele was super welcoming and made us feel right at home. His attention to detail? On point. It really took the whole experience to the next level. Gabriele checked on us throughout the meal, making sure everything was spot on and that we were vibing with the whole thing. He’s a total pro, but you can also tell he genuinely loves what he does, which made all the difference. Plus, his menu recs were 10/10, and he helped us pick out dishes that were “chef’s kiss”! We’re defs coming back. 💯 Highly recommend!

It is ok. Breakfast Club isn't as good as it used to be.

Visit 1/9/24 my wife 3 grandsons myself had burger pancakes vegan meals drinks all food, drinks, service excellent suggested visit by grandson who lives London we from Leeds on visit will definitely dine here again

Very good service, the place is charming and there are gluten-free options. The waiters are super nice and attentive.

Great service, good was fresh and tasty. Very enjoyable.

Sat outside. First vist. Service really good.and food.was unreal..cooked.to perfection. Everything on the menu looks great spoilt for.choice.

I've known about this chain for a while but was my first time going. After seeing tourists flock to it from different locations I thought it would be nice to have some brunch with a friend and see what it was like. The welcome was nice, staff polite and the venue itself was good. But the food was questionable which made me wonder why the hype? I assumed that the BC had these lines because the food was good but after my meal, trying drinks and even trying some of my friend's food I was genuinely confused. Do people literally go here because it's an 80s themed restaurant? Surely not. I had the club sandwich, it wasn't a typical club sandwich as in where you have an additional layer of bread but that wasn't really my issue. The way it was made was just bad. Huge chunks of chicken stuck between bread cut in to tiny triangles which made it hard to handle and it fell apart. The chicken was bland and a little under cooked, not raw but pinker than I would like, I'm not eating steak after all. Only just now realising what the fried green tomatoes were even in there, I thought it was some kind of potato cake but admittedly I'd never had fried green tomatoes so who am i to judge. My friend ordered scrambled eggs with vegan chorizo with a smoothie. She mentioned she thought the smoothie was a prepackaged bottle like innocent and now I see the menu, that yes that's exactly what she ordered so that's fair enough. But £6 for a £4 bottle of a pressed smoothie? Why the markup? For the labour of pouring smoothie from a bottle to glass?...I tried some of the chorizo and it was honestly no where close to what chorizo tastes like (not all vegan food can match exactly what the meat versions taste like but...) it just tasted like it had overdosed on cumin. The bread was one of the few things from the meal that I actually enjoyed. but let that sink in, one of the few things I enjoyed from my entire meal was the bread (repeated for effect). I know it sounds like a lot of complaining and it is, but I paid over £50 for 2 scraggly, untasty brunch meals, 2 mimosas and a smoothie and my opinion is that it completely wasn't worth it. An OK venue, good staff and sub par food does not make a good dining experience for me at that price. If you want to go somewhere that looks OK (literally nothing special), plays 80s music and eat overpriced and not particularly tasty food, then you'll LOVE it. Otherwise don't buy the hype. My regret mainly comes from the cost and the feeling that the food/ experience just wasn't worth it. I could have bought 1-2 weeks worth of food for that and cooked proper meals with more taste myself. But that's my big issue, if I'm going somewhere I don't want to buy prepackaged smoothies and pay a ridiculous price for it, I don't want to order food and for it to fall apart, and I want my food to taste good. That's pretty standard I think for a successful meal at a good restaurant. I might as well of gone to Nando's, dare I say it...or even Macdonalds. Sadly this was just a a huge no for me, I mean the lines i'd seen in the past gave me a completely different impression and I now realise it's just a tourist trap, or for "cool" kids who have no actual taste. I just felt like I needed to say something because it has this hype around it and I just don't understand why. Please can someone explain? I don't think I'll be coming back but thanks all the same.

Cozy breakfast place for the hungry! Pancakes seem to be their specialty, but we chose vegetarian breakfast sandwiches, and they were spicy and delicious. Real comfort food! Lattes were good and the orange juice was fresh and ice cold. A great way to start the day!

Food was really good, coffee not the best. Service was good enough. Lovely spot, and luckily we didn't have to wait.

Biggest rip off in London tiny revolting breakfast for astronomical prices reminiscent of little chef do not eat here

The drinks are delicious and the hasbrowns are AMAZING!

Highly recommended place, we ate very well!
