One of the best breakfast you can have in London! Try "Egg Benedict" if you want to taste something new & exceptional or "The All American" for great american pancakes. Just be prepared for the queue.

Went for the buttermilk chicken burger with skin on chips. Everything was delicious! One of my favourite places for breakfast and also good for dinners with a nice and chilled vibe in the evenings! :)

The atmosphere is great and the food portions are large. But if you're an American, don't expect the pancakes to be as fluffy as mom makes them. Must be a London thing to eat rock-hard pancakes?

Quick, friendly service, fresh food, strong coffee and a funky atmosphere- what more do you want? Even though BC has become a chain store now, this branch is bangin'! Thanks for the brilliant service!

The food is always good, and it's hard to go wrong whatever you choose. The eggs are always runny in the middle (important) and the staff are friendly. You'll have to wait for a table on the weekend.

Really just wanted to check out what all the fuss was about. The service was good and the food reasonable. Tried the potato hash with chorizo and egg. Haven't been back yet.

breakfast was good, but it's not the best breakfast I've had. I would go again but only during the week when its quieter, i'm not convinced it's worth the wait. Ide have something different.

Outlandish English breakfast in a cosy ambience and attentive service. The smooth porridge & the saucy "Half Monty" platter left an enticing memory that will last for ages. A gastronomic rapture.
Dave O'GJanuary 13, 2014
You may need to wait a bit but it is worth it. The orange juice is a must have and I can't see you going wrong eating anything here. 11/10

Best before 8:30am. Highly recommend the yogurt and granola, huevos rancheros, and the avocado toast. American approved.
Natalie DowneJuly 21, 2013
The Breakfast club always is good for a weekend brunch. If you manage to get in, get the Huavos Rancheros! it has the longest brunch queues in Islington, good luck! Outdoor seating is Sundays only.
Jenna PaglinoJuly 3, 2016
Really recommend the chicken and waffles, and toasted almond cinnamon oats. Very cute place in Camden passage. Sincerely, the breakfast club
Nelson CorreiaApril 28, 2012
Best breakfast place ever! If it's too much for you, you can also lunch or dine here. Delicious and really worth every penny. The staff is also great. Huevos Rancheros is a good choice! Arrive early! Read more
VivianAugust 11, 2014
Perfect option for breakfast or brunch time. Good food, good drink, unique but familiar atmosphere. Always want to order something more
LeuseeSeptember 29, 2015
The pancakes were a bit dry but otherwise it was delicious! Staff is nice and the interior is small but really cool. Definitely coming back.
Jordi LlobetApril 13, 2015
The food is amazingly good. They forget my dish and I wait for a 30min, but afterwards they discounted £10 from the bill. Service staff was always friendly and helpful.
Robert O'RourkeFebruary 15, 2016
Huevos rancheros is excellent, the eggs benny version too. They can overdo it a bit on hollandaise so ask for less if you prefer a modest amount
Jack SinclairFebruary 2, 2016
Breakfast burrito was so tasty! A little small compared to other dishes - portion wise. Staff were super friendly. Also recommend cinnamon cheese cake.
Rosephine FernandesOctober 27, 2014
The vibe is great. Come here for an English or American breakfast. The menu has a range of different types of breakfast food. Decent coffee and friendly staff.
Lidia VorontsovaApril 6, 2015
the pastrami sandwich has more bread than pastrami, BUT. the full Monty is an absolute treat and will probably leave you full right until dinner time.
Fatima Al-HalwachiMarch 3, 2017
The artichoke hash browns are out of this world! Beware they will keep you stuffed and happily fulfilled the whole day!
Matt SchofieldNovember 30, 2013
The Huevos Al Benny are not for the faint-stomached. There is a LOT of chorizo in there ;-) totally delicious though.

one of my favourite hideouts in london: eat awesome food to an 80s playlist. breakfasts especially good! peanut butter & banana shake. oodles of choice and fresh ingredients. queues on a weekend
Chris EvansOctober 25, 2016
Get there earlier to avoid the queue, easy to get in before 9am! Massive portions of great breakfast food 🍳
javier malagonOctober 8, 2017
One hour waiting for a table. Long queues. What ever happened to the cosy, quiet, breakfast club I knew for many years?
Finn WheelerSeptember 19, 2019
Nachos with pulled pork and a fried egg was pretty good. Excellent service. Good Bloody Mary as well.
Aneliya VazharovaOctober 28, 2012
You have to wait a bit but totally worth it for a big brunch. Recommend the 'When haloumi met salad wrap' and a strawberry smoothie.

Huge portions, great food, great people, unique feel...and did I mention the food? Lovely! A must visit. Have 2 try a big breakfast smoothie and the breakfast menu. My fav is the Veggie All-American.

The best smoothie in my opinion is Green is Good! Spinach, mint, mango and apple... It really does make you feel good in the end!
Audrey BRUISSONMarch 23, 2011
Perfect place for a lovely brunch. Try the eggs royal with a big breakfast smoothie, some pancakes with berries and you are done eating for one week...at least!
KatiaMay 1, 2019
Good breakfast food, but the service is a bit cold and distant
Const HtApril 4, 2016
Great avocado & eggs, good Bloody Mary. You should try the pancakes as well!
Ariel SeekingJune 17, 2012
Great crispy bacon, but a pancake bacon breakfast is a bit lacking on its own. Be prepared to queue, especially longer if you're more than a group of 2.
Inês SineiroFebruary 3, 2016
Full Monty is awesome, and so are the pancakes. You need to try the salted caramel shake (with rum ^^)
Essie SAugust 25, 2014
The avocado toast was super! Portions are large. Get a place by the window.
Emmanuelle LajoieFebruary 11, 2015
Great food, amazing bacon pancakes, huge plate... What else?!
Stefanie GoreOctober 7, 2018
The breakfast is ok. If you're American, don't expect "the American" to be very... American. Service was also subpar. But, the food was good and I'll probably go back
Stefanie ColburnOctober 19, 2014
Come early on a Sunday to beat the queues. Go green juice and eggs benedict are great

That guy Waiter is the best waiter I ever seen. Friendly and awesome. But blond girl is lazy ass ;) good food and delicious smoothies . I love BC
StefanoApril 15, 2013
This is a fatty place with fatty stuff but it worths. Once per month. Ah, and the Camden passage is an hidden treasure.
LondonfoodsterJanuary 17, 2016
The breakfast was alright. I had Al benny with veggie sausage & my friend ordered for all veggie American pancakes. Both dishes were just ok. Not sure if u will return here for breakfast again
Andy CavellOctober 11, 2011
Nice atmosphere, staff and little harried. Loved the Apple juice, coffee ok, has browns greasy! Also not cheap! Definitely in the treat category
Simon WhitakerSeptember 4, 2012
If you are ever in the area, this place is a must. Menu amazing & quality of food great. Beautiful coffee.

Good food but avoid busy periods esp Sunday - run out of ingredients and staff get a bit rubbish. Otherwise awesome

Muesli!! It's one of the best I've had. Not exactly healthy if you eat the whole thing but so delicious it's hard not to.
Ju GoeMay 9, 2012
Try any smoothie, or better: share a pint - they are amazing! My favourite is the green one with mint and spinach
Adam SmithOctober 14, 2010
The food is top-class. American-style breakfast pancakes, full English and tasty burgers. Staff can either be superb or a bit slow but nothing too bad. They also do real mint tea with mint leaves.
Annie HallMay 7, 2011
Try the Superman. It tastes thoroughly delicious and contains lots of good stuff - cucumber, carrot, orange, apple & tomato. Feel good juice :-)
Olga RomashevskayaAugust 31, 2015
The best! Really hipster place. 'Green is good' is must to try :)
Lewis TApril 18, 2015
Although it tries to look like a "diner" it isn't. No filter/refill coffee - only espresso style. Food is good, fair portions, service okay. Don't sit near the door, a handbag was stolen while there.
