Now what I'm going to say here might be controversial....
I don't actually love the Breakfast Club. I have been twice now so feel justified in my opinion- both times I left not disappointed per say, but not exactly raving to my whatsapp contact list. When I looked at the menu online before I went I was basically salivating... so many OPTIONS! Having said that, both times I went I got the same thing (originality!) and both times I was a bit underwhelmed.
It's got quite a quirky vibe, and like seemingly all popular brunch places in London, if you go at a time you would actually want brunch... expect a queue.
Onto the food. I guess I have a bit of a biased approach as I got the same thing both times, but I did order something which isn't especially difficult to nail in my opinion- chorizo, poached egg and avo on toast.
This looks very photogenic I know. But I just wasn't loving it... the avocado they must keep in the fridge because it was oddly cold, there was no butter on the toast, the chorizo was a bit fatty. I think the coldness of the dish was the killer though- I know it was very busy but both times this happened and both times I just didn't feel totally satisfied.
Freddie got eggs beni...
He also wasn't overwhelmed... I think they were slightly heavy handed on the sauce which didn't rock his world.
We also shared some of the home fries, because we were feeling hungry, and they were a little on the greasy side but obviously I still ate them all.
I don't want to sound too negative- I wouldn't be adverse to going again and there are probably things on the menu that are better. However, I'm still on the hunt for somewhere that will topple the mighty Granger's in Westbourne Grove off the brunch top spot... and the Breakfast club ain't it.
