The Breakfast Club in Southwark

The food was absolutely delicious, and the vibe was spot on. I’ll definitely try to go back soon! The staff were really helpful with my order as well.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Came in the morning without a reservation before 9 AM, and the place was already buzzing! 🐝 Grabbed a spot at the bar and ordered two main dishes, served super quickly alongside their delicious in-house coffee ☕. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and served with a smile 😊. The portions were generous—we left absolutely stuffed! 🍽️ Ingredients were top-notch and so tasty. We’ve been to a couple of their branches across London, and every visit has been satisfying. Consistently great! 🙌

Came for lunch with a friend. Staff were so so so friendly! Food was good too (gluten free pancakes were 10/10) Great knowledge on allergies and cross contamination. Would highly recommend coming here.

The black haired lady at the door was remarkably pleasant and helpful. Thank you very much!!

Delicious breakfast. Can be quite busy!

It is a very authentic breakfast place. The food and tea were fresh and homemade. Safe spot for a good breakfast.

What a find this place was! Not far from our hotel at Bankside, quite near the Shard. We were seated quickly in this New York style diner that is buzzing with atmosphere, friendly & welcoming service. As it was my birthday, the waitress brought me a free Mimosa and several of the team wished me a happy birthday - what a thoughtful touch and a great way to start a day of celebration! We both had a full American breakfast with tea and a mug of joe. Very filling but just the job for a day's walking around London. Thank you Breakfast Club team on 3/1/25, you were brilliant!👏

Sorry, maybe went at a bad time (breakfast) but three different coffees all Luke warm, mentioned and they were replaced and much better second time. Food expensive and also unfortunately also luke warm. Good atmosphere but possibly meaning food/drink quality was affected this time.

I’m mainly reviewing this place because of the exceptional service given by Guste. She is a ray of sunshine in the hospitality world. She has a friendly approach and helpful manner. She’s a credit to this branch and the brand as a whole.

Great food but not quite a traditional English breakfast.

Great service and gluten free options too. The food was great and a nice atmosphere. Would eat here again and again.

A really nice little restaurant with a great atmosphere. You should reserve in advance on the weekend. Large selection of sweet and savory dishes. Operation and service great 👍

UPDATE The restaurant asked me to reach out only because of my bad review and showed no sincerity or offered any solution In fact, they implied a mother (pregnant) and a young child would falsify illness to get money back? It seems they forget they are the small courts claims and legal complaint ways to sort this out without needing to ask a service provider. The implication seems to have some racial bias also - as a black family it seems our word is simply not good enough. Funny world! I’ve contacted the food.gov.uk and HEO of the restaurant to make a formal complaint This was about treatment and simple human decency! Our meal may I add was only £50 or so Sadly I experience food poisoning and so did my son We found the chicken pink inside and was told it’s fine and cooked And was refused food have it taken off the bill We also found a small egg shell bit in my eggs again was told just sorry about it The service was okay but I can’t give a positive review after serving me eggs with a small egg shell and under cooked chicken for my son So now we are calling 111 and waiting to now go to hospital

Perfect place for an English breakfast. Remember to come early otherwise there will quickly be a lot of queues.

A very very good address. A stone's throw from the station, the dishes are typical, very good products and very fast service. The staff is super friendly!

Update in response to Response from Owner: It was never marked ready on your end. It was "Preparing order" for 2.5 hours and then went straight to "Delivered". Don't try to shift the blame onto JustEat drivers. Placed a simple order on JustEat. It has now been two hours and the food is still not out for delivery. I have tried calling the restaurant and have not been able to get through. Update: 2.5 hours later and it now says it was delivered, but the food never arrived.

Breakfast club… more like Lunch and Dinner club! We ordered our coffees and breakfast and whilst all the tables around (who arrived after us) got served, we waited. Had to ask about coffee and food status on two seperate occasions. Finally, 45 minutes later we got to eat. Mid food tbh, not worth the wait. I should note we got a complimentary coffee which was appreciated, but nothing more than a bandaid on a gaping wound.

I had a great experience here, from the food to the waiters to the food. Is a really nice place to enjoy a nice breakfast🥞🥞🥞🥞

Great as usual! I love it here as you don’t just get great breakfasts and lovely pancakes but also a welcoming and warm vibe. It feels like a 80s American diner.. Service is relaxed, laid back and friendly. Surely most days you will be asked to join the online queue but I think most days you will be able to get in in less than 30 mins (just enough to have a stroll in borough market).. Recommended

Stopped off for a quick meal, before a show, at the nearby Menier Chocolate Factory Theatre. Food was tasty and very reasonably priced and waiting staff were friendly and efficient.

We tried The Breakfast Club at the London Bridge location and were hooked! The place is very nice, spacious and with an American style that recalls the atmosphere of the TV series. The choice from the menu was difficult due to the variety of proposals, but in the end we opted for the pancakes: I was sweet, my boyfriend was savory. Both were really delicious, prepared to perfection and with generous portions. So much so that at lunch we ate very lightly because we were completely full. The quality-price ratio is excellent: the cost is fully justified both by the quality of the ingredients and the quantity of the dishes. A piece of advice: make reservations as the place is always full and you risk long waits. A place that we absolutely recommend and to which we will return without a doubt!

Review: A Great Atmosphere, But Food Quality Has Declined I’ve visited this place multiple times and while the atmosphere remains fantastic, my recent experience with the food was disappointing. The staff is always busy but professional, maintaining a welcoming vibe. However, the food quality is no longer what it used to be. I ordered the All American Breakfast, which included eggs, bacon, and pancakes. Sadly, the eggs and bacon were bland and lacked flavor, especially compared to the pancakes, which were the standout of the meal. Unfortunately, I ended up feeling unwell about an hour after eating, which is a first for me here. I remember the first time I dined here – the meal was exceptional, and I left feeling fully satisfied. Today, though, I find the prices have risen while the quality and quantity of the meals have not kept pace. It’s a real shame, as this place used to be one of my favorites. For now, I’ll have to reconsider whether it’s worth the cost for what you’re getting. Hopefully, the restaurant can get back to the high standards I once loved

Got the eggs all day with a side of bacon and they did not disappoint! Also added a side of berries which were so fresh and delicious!

I visited The Breakfast Club near London Bridge on a Sunday morning, and it was an amazing experience. The location is incredibly convenient, just a short 2-4 minute walk from Borough Market. The highlight of my visit was their pancakes, which were absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot to start the day.

I came to this bar on a last minute reservation with a party of 7. We were looked after from the moment we arrived, with a variety of interesting cocktails to choose from and attentive service from all staff members. Every member of the group was extremely satisfied with our visit and we will definitely be returning!

The Breakfast Club was a great find! Very busy - which is a good sign - so we couldn't get a table earlier than our booking, but no issue really and the food was worth waiting for. Delicious fluffy pancakes and the coffee was superb. Will be back

Not the best experience for brunch. I was very excited to try this cafe and initially was impressed by the extensive menu. Food took over 30 mins from ordering, but can't complain as it was extremely busy. My dish (bean shakshuka) was lovely, however my fiancé's brunch was cold, overcooked and the muffin rock hard, hence the one star. No one asked him how the food was, or gave him opportunity to complain. Not even when clearing the plates away or bringing the card machine! And to add insult to injury, they added a 12.5% service charge on (which we only realised when they gave the receipt as didn't actually bring a bill just a card machine) - when the service was lousy! If this was an inexpensive cafe I could excuse it, but not when it costs twice that of other cafes in the area (for us, over £20/head). Therefore I would definitely not return on this basis and wouldn't recommend trying till they get their act together. Breakfast Club - teach your waiters to say 'is everything okay?' or else remove your service charges, as this left us with quite a sour taste.

Very nice place, very good food! I recommend!

Order came incorrectly twice. (We had all finished eating by the time we got the rest of the food). When the bill came we were incorrectly charged. Although this was resolved with a refund. They clearly are trying to fit in too many people at once. Food was a little bland and very overpriced. Gone very downhill to when I’ve been in the past. Lastly it was very loud you couldn’t hear the people on our table. (I am in my 20s)

Great breakfast in a charming atmosphere. Very good coffee and a large selection of breakfast dishes. A clear recommendation. Reservation is recommended.

The Breakfast Club in London Bridge has a fun, retro vibe and a solid menu with classic breakfast and brunch options. The food is decent—portions are generous, and there are plenty of options for sweet and savory cravings. The pancakes and the Full Monty are particularly popular. That said, the venue can get quite busy, so be prepared for a wait during peak times. While the atmosphere is lively, the service can feel a bit rushed due to the crowd. Overall, it’s a good spot for a casual breakfast or brunch.

Excellent veggie English breakfast, fun atmosphere, but packed and loud!

Nice place for either breakfast, brunch, or lunch. Many options for all tastes.

Very good English breakfast. The dishes were generous and the atmosphere was very pleasant. Delighted with our experience

We went for breakfast and had some great pancakes. Would definitely back!

There was hair in my food, truly shocking and disgusting this should never happen. Currently waiting to hear back from investigation due to the report I made

I went on a Sunday and waited 35-40 min Delicious food but not worth the wait

We went to this place twice because we liked it. Welcoming fast but not rushed service all very good and simple normal cost for a brunch. The first time we arrived very early in the morning and didn't have to wait. The second time we had to wait about 40 minutes but they let you do a virtual thing from your phone and you can go and take your turns. There is a food market in front of it and we practically had a double breakfast by going there before having brunch. I absolutely recommend it because the people who work there are very nice and kind.

Delightful place for breakfast. Fast and very tasty, very attentive and friendly service. Ambiance fits. Top!

We actually wanted to get breakfast at the borough market, but we were actually a bit early. Everyone was still busy setting up their booths. There were not many visitors yet so we saw it quickly and wanted to sit somewhere. The Breakfast Club was quite around the corner and looked nice on maps. The service was excellent and the breakfast also tasted great. We had forgotten that English tea is so strong, so we should have asked for a loose tea bag. You really get a big mug of tea. It was doable with milk in it. In retrospect, after having had the entire holiday, this was not the most special breakfast restaurant we had, but it was very good. Legend: 1) Terrible! I don't recommend it, I will never come back! 2) Too bad, below my expectations, I won't come again. 3) Ok, nothing wrong with that, but nothing special, nice for once. 4) Fine, worth coming back. 5) Excellent! I recommend, I will definitely come back!

For a real English brunch, go your way. No bacon with the eggs. Lplzys very (too) spicy. The children were very disappointed. Damage

What can I say, Divine, friendly and nice, Top service. If I return to London I will definitely stay here again

Amazing staff, food was really good, would recommend.

This place is busy!!! and for good reason! The service was great, the food was too. It was a little on the pricier end for me but I think it was worth it. The only suggestion is to make a booking. We failed to get in on Saturday but just about managed on Tuesday!!

Popped in for a quick brunch - food was great and staff were really lovely, would definitely recommend 😊

What a fun spot to stumble into to escape the rain! It was super busy, but they were super accommodating with seating us at the bar. Very friendly staff, incredible food and super great energy overall. We had the Benny and the TBC sandwich and both were amazing. 10/10 recommend

Very busy but the lady managing the door/tables was super friendly and helpful and fitted us in. Enjoyed my all american breakfast. Thank you.

Excellent service with excellent food! We found it by chance, but it was something remarkable.

Food was good but friends had a bigger portion, (maybe because it wasn't vegan) so I wasn't very full afterwards, and not the best value for money as a result, slightly expected for central London.

Buzzy place suitable for families. Staff really look after you. Has an old school diner feel. Plenty of options for kids and oldies alike.

I had a very good breakfast surrounded by a smiling and friendly team. Little info he speaks French which is also nice 😁

Definitely not wheelchair accessible despite stating so: there's a large step at the entrance. Arrived & couldn't go in so can't rate anything else.

Really amazing ,highly recommended customer service 100/100 I do not have words that it was amazing have breakfast in there I would back again.

Great American restaurant close to London Bridge. Food was very good. I had some avocado on toast with eggs; and it was very tasty. Other members of my party were very pleased as well. The coffee could’ve been better; didn’t really have much flavour. Prices were a little bit on the expensive side. Customer service was amazing! Props to our waitress that catered for all of our questions and requests with a great and positive attitude as well as super quickly. Would definitely come again.

Best breakfast place in London . Food is amazing and the staff lovely . Very good price aswell. Definitely recommend

Had the best scrambled eggs here ever with yum sourdough and mushrooms and best chorizo ever oh and a proper cup of tea. Very decently priced for lunch. Our waiter was also exceptional!

Waitress was attentive, food was well presented and came out quick.

Had a great breakfast, portion sizes were good and variety on the menu was just right. Staffs were quite helpful and the place had a charming atmosphere. No complaints 👍...

Dirty, caps have plaque, no soap in the toilet

Everything was delicious, fast service and very loco. Loved it !!

Good atmosphere Good hearty meal

Friendly staff, very good lunch, I recommend!

Elliot is great! Funny northern man who should have a career in stand up comedy. Left with a belly full of laughs alongside a belly full of food! The breakfast club has solidified itself in being our “must do” stop when visiting London! Until next time! Thank you!

The service is super polite and attentive. I recommend making reservations in advance as it can be very busy on weekends.

Good, but it seemed like a lot of money to me, 22 Pounds for a breakfast, of course you can see the prices on the menu

We really enjoyed our breakfast! On the other hand there was a lot of waiting so we had to eat outside even though it was cold and the service was very long. I also found that it was quite expensive (more than €50 for 2 juices, pancakes and eggs) On the other hand, the pancakes were really delicious!

The staff were kind and helpful. The place was not that busy and the wait for the food wasn't long. The portions were a good size, not as hot as we expected and we got extra syrup. The pancakes were soft and sweet with the strawberries and vanilla cream. The waffles were a bit hard but nice with the egg, bacon, gravy and syrup. A nice cosy place for a decent bite to eat.

Wow! Amazing food and service! I asked for all the usual condiments and didn’t need to add a single one! Each and every component to my very large breakfast was perfectly cooked and seasoned. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Lovely and clean with a fab atmosphere. A real homely , trendy ( but not too trendy for a family visit) . I only wish they had a place in cornwall so I could go back. We visited the one in rufus street and honestly can’t fault a single thing! Hope I get to return . Thanks guys 🥰

Borough Mkt closed, so found this place. Very good choice for the 3 of us. Good service and we were very happy with our food. Would be good to have a gluten free option, somewhere on the menu rather than always focusing on 'vegans' all the time.

Fine spot for an American breakfast. We got a variety of things, listed below, but we likely wouldn’t get any of them again - Huevos Rancheros with Fried Chicken - Pancakes, Cream & Berries - French Toast Dip - Americano coffee

Not worth the wait. Food is mediocre, was served luke warm as if it was premade and sat there for half an hour waiting to be ordered. Not that great tasting anyway. Service was not personable at all like robots. Ambiance inside is nonexistent. Pictures make it look way better than it really is.

Nice atmosphere, it was a shame we had to wait for a while to be seated and the SMS service for spaces didn’t work. However once we were set the service was friendly and fast. All the breakfasts we had tasted great and the drinks were also good. Not on the cheap side, but would recommend for people in the area.

Brilliant breakfast here this morning. Super friendly and super fast. Food was delicious and the coffee excellent. Staff were 99% all on point and the only 1% lacking was the waitress who chose not to greet me or say “someone will be with you” and instead stared blankly at me before walking off. I sat at the bar and the 2 staff there were super busy but not too busy to smile and say hi and make sure I felt welcome. The guy running the seating also excellent. My over easy eggs were over but not easy but that’s a small point and not worth losing a star over. Highly recommend ❤️

I came in on a busy Saturday morning while it was raining and only had to wait ten minutes. I had such a lovely time at the place, the staff were so nice, and the food was delicious. I wish I could go back soon! I felt right at home, and I unfortunately can't remember my server's name but I wish to offer him many compliments for being so kind while I was the counter having breakfast.

Great food. The staff is super nice and helpful. This location has a lot of room compared to the soho location.

The potatoes and chorizo was a lot more filling than anticipated. The pancakes were good, but they kinda have a muffin drier texture to them. There are also £5 palomas which definitely added to the vibe. All in a solid breakfast at a good price.

We arrived just before the queues, so were seated and served quickly. Staff are attentive and friendly. Hubby had pancakes, potatoes, sausage, egg and bacon. I had the pancakes with strawberries and vanilla cream. The pancakes are American style so are really thick, so I couldn’t get through 3 of them. There is a lot of cream and not many strawberries. I had about 3 strawberries made to look more as chopped in to 9 pieces. Enough for one pancake at best. Although tasty, the pancakes are light and fluffy, they are so heavy and dense and, with the fruit eaten and so much of the pancakes left, I wasted one and a half pancakes. Hubby enjoyed his breakfast. Although he did say the pancakes were very dry and not enough maple syrup, but you may be able to request more? We wasn’t told this and didn’t ask. At around £40 for breakfast with 2 small coffees, It’s pricier than your average breakfast place but the breakfast isn’t better than your average breakfast place so we wouldn’t really return here.

ordered the avo, eggs, and cheese (or whatever it was) with a side of hash browns and a mimosa. everything was great. they gave me a second mimosa on the house because my food “took so long,” but i honestly didn’t think it took long at all. everything was very fast and they clearly value providing great service.

Exactly what we were looking for. Go here. Excellent menu, staff, atmosphere.

Nice breakfast experience 🌤️but crowded.

Fantastic full English breakfast for vegans and non vegans alike! I believe they forgot the vegan bacon on mine but nonetheless it was so tasty and the scrambled "eggs" were wonderful! There is a bit of a long wait but totally worth it and they are quite attentive, the only thing I would have liked would be a vegan black pudding to match the full monty

The Breakfast Club in London Bridge is a vibrant and inviting spot known for its eclectic decor and laid-back atmosphere. The menu offers a delightful range of breakfast options, from classic full English breakfasts to inventive dishes like pancakes topped with fresh fruits and indulgent sauces. The coffee is robust and well-crafted, making it a perfect companion to any meal. The staff is friendly and efficient, enhancing the overall dining experience. Whether you're looking to fuel up for a busy day or enjoy a leisurely brunch with friends, The Breakfast Club is a fantastic choice that caters to all tastes. Plus, the quirky vibe adds a unique charm that keeps patrons coming back.

I'm writing this review a bit late, but as people say "better later than never". I visited "The Breakfast Club" on the 22nd of July, went there for breakfast, and I definitely wasn't disappointed with my choice. Everything was excellent. The food was delicious (I had coffee and sourdough bread with salmon, eggs). The speed of service was great, despite the busy morning I was served very quickly. The atmosphere was vivid and vibrant, but relaxing and satisfying at the same time. The wonderful team, especially, I want to say "thank you " to Nick, who is brilliant at his job. I highly recommend this place for visiting! The next time I'm in London, I will definitely go there!

We had the absolute best time stopping by before our Taylor Swift concert. Thank you again to Ellis and all the girlies 🥰

We went here after reading other reviews for how good the breakfast club was for Gluten free options. We are both coeliac so finding somewhere friendly to eat is a big thing. When we got there there was a queue and wait on tables, however, the kind staff managed to get us in and out with only a short wait on the table so that we could make our afternoon theatre showing. As it was so busy when we placed our order we were told there were high chances of cross contamination but they could ask the chefs if they cook the gluten free pancakes in a pan instead if we didn't mind waiting a little longer than normal on our food. We went with this option and we were not disappointed. The food was fabulous & customer service was very good. I definitely recommend this branch of the breakfast club!

It's your British version of an American diner. I had the Phillycheese steak with sourdough The bread was too much for the small amount of meat on that sandwich. It was over flown with cheese but not enough meat. Ate it with only half the bread

I arrived around 9:40 on Sunday morning and waited for about 30 minutes. It's not a good place to eat while waiting. I really wanted to eat it after seeing the photos and reviews, so I waited, but the pancakes weren't as tasty as they looked in the photos. I had the most leftover. The taste is very comparable to the delicious pancakes I had in Vancouver, Canada a few days ago. Aside from the Vancouver pancakes, they were less tasty than regular pancakes. I added vanilla syrup to the iced latte, but they forgot to add it, so I asked for it again. The taste of the flat white is average, and the egg banana is also average. But The Full Monty was okay.

This is a fantastic restaurant, but getting a table without a reservation can be challenging as it's always very busy! The menu offers a wide variety of delicious options. We tried the avocado toast with salmon and a traditional English breakfast—both were stunning. The sweet selection is also irresistible!

Came here twice on our trip, only for coffees so cannot review the food. However first day coffees were great, caramel iced latte but the waitress was not very friendly. Second day waitress was friendly but coffee was not very good. So a little inconsistent with coffees but would be interested to try the food.

We used to be a regular visit to various Breakfast Clubs, including this one. Sadly, the quality ha deteriorated. Firstly, the menu has massively reduced. Before you’d get a range of pancakes, shakshuka, Benedict’s etc. The menu now is comparitively small and everything is largely the same. They have a Mr Big sandwich and a Parm sandwich, for example. Which is a variation of two fried chicken sandwiches. But the worst thing is the service. We arrived around 7.45pm on a Wednesday. At 8pm, before we’d ordered, they asked if we would want a coffee as the coffee machine was being turned off. Then at 8.30pm, midway through our meal, they told us it was last orders. Why are they not serving any more drinks after 8.30pm?! The one waitress spent the whole time on her phone and just wanted to go home. Of course, we had no incentive to order dessert having been told drinks were done. Unfortunately this place won’t last much longer. It’s a real shame, as it’s a nice space and the food is fine. But they don’t seem to care about making it a nice experience and staff just want to get home.

Very busy and noisy, but also really tasty!

I came here for the first time, I am coeliac and the manager was very friendly and helpful when I was unsure about what gluten free things I could have. He even took the time to explain everything and when I couldn’t have a item on the menu that came with my meal, he subbed the item for a gluten free item so I wasn’t having less than what originally was included in my meal. :) !!!!! - From J, the coeliac :)

I recently visited for brunch and was disappointed by the behavior of the restaurant manager. When we politely asked about our food, which was running late, the manager responded in a condescending and rude manner. Instead of offering an explanation or apology, we were met with impatience and a dismissive attitude. This interaction, along with the overall lack of professionalism, turned what should have been a pleasant brunch into an uncomfortable experience. Simple requests felt like a burden, and we were left feeling unwelcome. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and works on improving customer service, as courteous and respectful treatment is essential. Unfortunately, this experience has made me hesitant to return for future brunches.

I recently visited The Breakfast Club in London. The food was alright, and the waiters were friendly, but the manager was extremely rude.

My boyfriend and I had a wonderful experience at Breakfast Club. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was fantastic. We also enjoyed the cocktails, which were just as impressive. Overall, a great place for a delicious breakfast meal and a good time!

Un vrai restaurant pour manger un déjeuner anglais ! Les portions sont grandes, et vous êtes sûr de ne plus avoir faim après. Le cadre est aussi très joli !

Very loving and caring place ❤️

We enjoyed the food and they were really kind. I will definitely visit this here again but I won't order the cheese burger again. It was very juicy and nice I loved it. But middle of the meat was pink. It was fine. Maybe they tried medium rare or something but I found a piece of meat that not cooked. I found this when I almost finished the burger. So didn't complain anything. they should be careful when cook raw meat.

Caludia is a staff to meet at Saint Pancras. Amazing service ❤️

Great food, great vibes, beautiful indoor/outdoor experience. Would recommend for any londoners to try this place out. Coffee was the best I’ve had so far since visiting.
