The Breakfast Club Spitalfields — Restaurant in London

P.s. instead of accepting responsibility, the manager decided to pretend it did not happen in the response. I am hundred percent positive the place I attended on Sat 25th was Breakfast Club Spitalfields, next to Williams cider and ale house, which was intially supposed to be our meeting spot.

Me and a group of friends are sometimes gathering together to play quizzes. Last Saturday, we were about to play a quiz together. Originally we had booked a pub, but it was very loud due to the rugby match, so we ended up going to the Breakfast club next door. I want to preface it by saying the plan was to play a quiz and then order food, while ordering drinks or snacks throughout the quiz. We were sat at one large table in a group of 6, with one person reading the questions from the laptop, and we weren't loud or disruptive. We ended up not playing the third round of the quiz and left before ordering food. Nonetheless, we spent about £84, so we were not munching about on tap water, there were multiple drinks and snacks in the table at all times. We ended up going away due to a HORRIBLE server who was constantly hovering over us and interrupting the flow of our game. When we ordered a first round of drinks, she came back in 5 minutes when I was barely 1/4 through my pint asking us if we wanted to order anything else. When we ordered a second round, a different waitress brought my friend an N/A beer instead of cider. The server continued to hound us throughout our game, approaching our table every 5-10 minutes even when we told her we plan on finishing our quiz before ordering extra. She interrupted questions as they were being read and butted in the discussions. It felt extremely jarring and unsettling, as we were the only group of people there who were constantly bothered in such a way. In total she must have approached us about 10 times. A couple sitting at the next large table ordered JUST two coffees and spent about an hour in the venue with minimal interruptions. A very weird place overall, half empty but the bouncers were turning away people at the doors.

We were not drunk or impolite, and the only charge that could have been brought against us is that we did not speak English. It felt extremely uncomfortable as if we were forced to buy more items every time she appeared at our table. A very bad service and I think it is safe to say neither me nor any of my friends will visit a Breakfast Club...

Gen Z’s are famous for their desire for instant gratification—except, it seems, when it comes to queuing outside the latest Instagram restaurant. Unlike most of them, I can make a plan and stick to it. So, instead of standing in the rain with the hopeful hordes, I booked a table. Yes, it’s called being an adult. Try it sometime.

And do you know what? The Breakfast Club is rather good.

I’ve long believed there’s an inverse relationship between the fanciness of a venue and the quality of its breakfast. Five-star hotels? Gorgeous armchairs, soft piano music wafting through the lobby, and some pretentious chef delivering eggs with unidentifiable green nonsense sprinkled on top. A greasy spoon? Life-changing fry-up, but your dining companions are likely to include a pro-Brexit builder and someone muttering to themselves in the corner.

The Breakfast Club, however, is that rarest of finds: the middle ground. The décor is peak trendy—neon signs on the walls, mismatched chairs that are probably “upcycled” rather than actually comfortable—but the food is undeniably great. Think perfectly crisped bacon, eggs cooked just the way you like them, and pancakes that would make you briefly consider a life of American excess.

The service is sharp, efficient, and almost unnervingly cheery given how busy it is. This place knows what it’s doing, and it does it well.

But here’s the key takeaway: book it. Do not stand in the rain for an hour like some desperate intern hoping to secure a seat at the Cool Kids’ Table. You’re better than that. Or at least,...

The breakfast club is the breakfast club, it's a down to earth restaurant that aims to serve breakfast all day... clues in the name.

It's rammed when its busy and dead when it's not, I've been there a couple times now, and you either que or you walk straight in.

The price is fair but more on the moderate to pricy side for what you are getting, but that's not to say the food isn't good or the staff aren't friendly because they are nearly always the nicest waiters you will meet.

The food does lack in some areas although sporadic in cases, I note scrambled eggs that have been held for a bit to long or bacon which has dried out (a clear sign of it not being cooked fresh). However the chicken and waffle is a firm favourite of mine.

The decor is no thrills and what you see is what you get (ps you may want to look at that smeg fridge a bit closer). The rustic look adds to the appeal of the restaurant with the stained wood and traffic light a much loved accent to the environment.

Overall if you want something hearty and not a greasy spoon then I would advise going to the breakfast club.

While it didn't sweep me off my feet the last few times, it does get a solid 4 stars from me as a definite place to go for breakfast, lunch,...
