The Breakfast Club

Brunch with soul

The Breakfast Club charms with its signature retro vibe and reliable menu. This brand experience was more than just about food and was a glimpse into the personalities behind the plates. The venue’s warm, informal atmosphere set a relaxed tone, encouraging conversation. One of the standout moments was speaking with the general manager, whose personable nature and openness made for an engaging discussion about work-life balance, particularly how the restaurant’s 3pm close aligns with school pickup times and a relatable rhythm for some of us. Service was a strong point for the brand experience, with staff seemingly enjoying their job.

The menu itself is due for an update next week, a good prompt to revisit. In the meantime, it was consistent with what we had come to expect from previous visits. Familiar, satisfying but with one standout: a special dish from Chef Anvar featured on a separate menu card. His Turkish eggs offering was a heartfelt nod to home cooking, while the Q&A on the reverse of the card added a welcome personal touch that bridges the gap between kitchen and table.

Taste-wise, the food delivered. The Turkish eggs were rich and full of layered flavour, though we learned from staff that the egg-and-yoghurt pairing has left some guests unsure. Still, that’s often the beauty of trying something new. In a place where familiarity is part of the brand, it’s refreshing to see something a little different. It’s moments like these with friendly human engagement, real storytelling and memorable bites that make us want to revisit.
