The Evening Standard

This was the twelve inch remix of an English breakfast. The pork and leek sausages were a succulent delight, the beans a steaming orange ocean, the toast sturdy to the point of intransigence. These accompanied a mountain of hash browns, and no bland pre-formed patties, neither: this was a big old pile of fried potatoes and onions, positively rustic in the roughness of their cut. Clearly the kitchen staff enjoy cooking.

The Guardian

‘it isn’t just breakfast that this excellent split-level Soho cafe excels. For lunch there are jacket potatoes with build your own salads, first rate wraps…The Hot Pastrami (sandwich), with black peppered pastrami, cheddar, pickles and wholegrain mustard is a heavenly takeaway choice.

Urban Junkies

An absolute favourite for a chilled out brunch, The Breakfast Club’s branches in Soho, Angel and Hoxton are yellow beacons of pancake filled hope on a typically grey London day. Serving all kinds of coffee, fruit smoothies and homemade cookies and cakes, as well as a mean menu of sandwiches and salads, the star turn here is the breakfast menu, with everything from a Full English to simple cereals and American pancakes on offer. Table 6 in Soho has a ‘sweet nothings’ drawer where customers have traditionally left notes, the walls are covered in polaroids and neon signage, and the staff treat the place like it’s their baby. 

Lonely Planet

Still our favourite place for something to wake up to, especially after a tough Saturday night on the tiles, this bright and flowery oasis in Islington’s Camden Passage follows in the footsteps of the Breakfast Club Soho). But, despite the name, breakfast (from around £3 to £7 ) is not the only game here and they also do sandwiches, salads and decent pies (from £8 )

The Rough Guide

rough guide recommended – ‘laidback Aussie style cafe, great coffee, cheery staff and substantial toasted sandwiches’

View London

At the Breakfast Club it’s always happy and you get a sense of that when you order your meal at the bar. You’ll always be greeted with a smile and a casual, How’s it going?, as if you’ve been buddies since the day you were born. The staff have a very casual and fun approach to work making this a very joyous venue for a good sit-down meal. Pumping on the stereo is an eclectic mix of current and classic chart toppers.

The Breakfast Club in Soho is exactly what the neighbourhood has been crying out for, for years. Friendly, cheap and great. Serving traditional English breakfast, to toasted sandwiches and all kinds of tea. Decor is brilliant with unusual vintage furniture and there’s free internet access, it’s the perfect place for a meeting or a stop off in town with friends

Have you been to the Breakfast Club café on D’Arblay Street yet? If not, you should make plans to visit. The food is great, from saintly salads to perfect pastries and guilty fried breakfasts. The perfect weekday hangover cure for those still too drunk for the office. Worried about your swimsuit figure? The smoothie selection is out of this world. We recommend the Green Giant; there’s no sweetcorn in it, honest.
