The Breakfast Club in Brighton and Hove

OMG, where do I even begin?! 😱✨ Breakfast Club is a total DREAM! 🥞🍳 If you haven’t been yet, what are you even doing with your life?? 😩 I’m literally still thinking about the food like… it was that good. 😍 The pancakes? FLUFFY. The eggs? PERFECTION. The bacon? Crispy HEAVEN. 😋🔥 But the BEST part?! Jen’s service!! 🙌👏 She’s like the angel of breakfast – super sweet, super attentive, and made me feel like I was the most important person in the room. 💖 She brought me my coffee with a smile that could cure any bad day ☕😊 and made sure I had everything I needed without even having to ask! Seriously, I would go back just to be served by Jen again. 🥰 If I could give this place 10 stars, I would!! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Definitely my new breakfast spot forever. Can’t wait to come back! 😍🍴 You NEED to check this place out, like, right now. You won’t regret it, I promise. 💯

Delicious all-day breakfast: pancakes + veggie sausages : totally recommend 💯😻

Amazing place, nice food. Toilets are downstairs though.

Waiters were nice, but the food was not good. My right hand wrist is literally so sore because of the bread I had to fight to cut. I got the eggs Benedict, given with VERY stiff vegan bacon, and the bread it was served on was SO hard to cut. I was annoyed in the moment, but more annoyed now that my wrist is hurting. And they served us tap water, and the glasses were DIRTY. One had a full on lipstick mark on it. Feel like they don’t wash their glasses. Be careful, and DONT order the eggs Benedict. Unless you want a painful wrist at the end of the day. We paid service charge, but REGRET it.

Stunning place! You must try their salty Pancakes and Eggs Benedicts. So good! Unfortunately I come to Brighton only once a week due to work, but this place ladies and gents is the best and for me it's a must to stop by when I can. It's a very busy place but you always find great energy and nice atmosphere! The staff is amazing, they are always looking after you and taking care about your food experience. Big big thanks to the strong guy called Fabio, he always made our day with fantastic service and big smiles. It's impossible don't enjoy your brekkie and don't have good time here. The best by far so far 💯 cheers to the boyz, keep rocking it. Thank you for the amazing food.

Everything was perfect, Jack and Fabio were such incredible hosts! Would recommend!

My breakfast which is quite expensive the bacon was inedible rock hard ,Burnt ! small plate. sausages like cardboard ,awful and eggs cold, I would never pay so much for one of the worst breakfasts I’ve ever had ,from a venue called the “breakfast club “!!!! How can you get it so wrong such a simple meal ?

Delicious food, cool diner-inspired atmosphere and playlist but especially good service. This is my favourite breakfast/brunch/lunch spot in the lanes!

Great food apart from chicken had no flavour at all.

Service was great. Staff lovely BUT food overpriced and atmosphere rather sterile

Really good food. I had the pancake plate with 3 chosen toppings. At first I thought the size of the topping portions were small but it ended up being the perfect amount. But it was a bit pricy £14 for 3 pancakes and 2 toppings and extra toppings were £2.50. My partner had the fried chicken, bacon waffle. It was okay chicken was not good a tad watery so I would not recommend this dish. We shared the hash browns with cheese dipping sauce. The hash browns were 10/10 and I loved the sauce but it would have been so much better is the cheese sauce was hot.

Had breakfast here and I was really happy with everything, the place is nice and the food is great. I'd recommend to reserve a table

Great, great, great. Got seated quickly, great plant-based options for a lot of dishes. Bit of a delay getting our food out, staff were on it and excellent and sorted us out brilliantly. Will be returning.

Had to wait 45 minutes for a table for two. Place was busy so expected the food to be good. Had to wait over 30 mins for food. It was mediocre and very overpriced. Also double check for the extras that are sneakily added to the bill including a tip that they expect you to pay!! There are better places to eat pancakes etc in Brighton.

First time I've been and loved it - Gre was a great server and remembered us when we went back the next day. Very friendly service and the food was amazing as always 👌

We had a great breakfast - delicious bean shakshuka! Thanks Gri, your service was great and it was nice talking to you!

Great service & amazing food!! Gri was very friendly :)

Seriously lovely staff …. Wonderful atmosphere and super tasty food .. we had vegan potatoes with garlic red pepper sauce ❤️ vegan breakfast and a vegan blueberry Pancake stack The only thing I would change would be the vegan breakfast for my partner ( for the price ) was fairly small.. he could have easily doubled the amount and been nicely full .. luckily I was feeling like sharing my pancakes and potatoes so we both left 💯 satisfied ! Highly recommend this place Accommodating… had cravings and colouring for my baby daughter and the playlist was on point I will update this review with the name of the waitress who served us she was very lovely 😬 Forgot to take good photo when it came out with the breakfast as we were hungry 🫣🤫😬

Gri (our server) was lovely, the coffe was delicious and of course the food was amazing. The big stack defeated my husband (he left two bites!) Thanks so much.

Excellent food and kids loved the pancakes ...well worth the visit

Here is my toasted sour dough that cost £2.... Hmmm

Had an amazing Xmas breakfast here! Gri was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed, I had the chorizo egg hash and it was amazing and a lot of food for the price. Thank you all :)

My partner had food poisoning after a visit earlier this month. It was easy to narrow down because it was the only place where we ate and the food we were served was pretty stale. We emailed The Breakfast Club about it two weeks ago, then again over social media to make sure we had the right address. No reply. We were simply asking for acknowledgement of receipt to avoid this happening to someone else. Won't be back in a rush.

Very compact tables for 2 in this quite small place. Service was friendly and efficient. Sadly not much selection of beers and wines. My chicken burger wasn't great.

Lovely and vibrant atmosphere. Really busy and we were glad to find a table just in the nick of time for lunch time. Staff were very friendly and the food was great. My boyfriend wanted to try the chilli sauce available in another dish and a staff member was so kind as to bring it over for no extra charge. Food was great and priced well.

Found this place to be really fun and quirky. Loved the decor and vast amount of breakfast options. I have the maple pancakes and they were divine, and a super smoothie which was also great. Service really good. We loved the music and would absolutely come again

Food is very mediocre but staff were great, apart from them trying to charge service charge

The last two times I ordered from them on Just Eat both deliveries took over 90 minutes (over double the advertised maximum time) to arrive. I left a negative review there, only to recently notice response blaming just eat (and a raft of responses to multiple other reviews criticising delivery times that were blaming just eat drivers). So, in response to their complete lack of accountability I am leaving a bad review here as well. If you're going to suck at something, own it.

Amazing! Great food, service and atmosphere. Highly recommend

We had such a good breakfast date here, we’ve been before and love it but this time it hit different. Our waitress Rachel was super attentive and friendly and made us feel right at home. The food was delicious and we ate until we were stuffed. Would highly recommend!

The service here is always great, the atmosphere and vibe pleasant and fun, food is always great too and no issues with it. Our server Rachel was lovely and friendly. Wait times can be a bit on the long end for the food as it is always quite busy. But in my opinion the wait is worth it, the environment is pleasant and staff seem to enjoy their work so the wait isn’t much of an issue for me.

Great food & coffee. Rachel was a star server!!

Great place for breakfast! Christmas breakfast was fantastic! Brilliant service by Rachel! Would definitely come back

We popped in around 10am on a Friday morning. We had one of the Christmas-themed breakfast specials with pigs in blankets and it was by far the best breakfast ever. Gri was our server and was lovely and friendly. Thanks for a great start to our day in Brighton!

Server was Gri - super friendly, made time to chat, adapted the menu to suit around preferences, generous, professional, calm environment, lovely all round, would definitely recommend :)

Amazing as always have been to the one in Oxford previously only downside is that it's very expensive......£47 for 2 of us but it was my daughters birthday 🎂 would go more often if it wasn't so expensive!!

The portions were so small. The service charge should be optional but it was already included in the bill. When you pay by card, you should be given the option of whether you want to pay or how much you want to pay. If you force people to pay, it's like stealing from them.

Waited so long for our order to be taken and drinks to arrive. Staff were not very nice. Food was ok. Wouldn’t recommend unfortunately- not worth it for the price.

Amazing food and service . Gri couldn't have been any more helpful and accommodating. Highly recommend a visit.

Reservamos para el desayuno a las 9 am, pero era bastante tranquilo a mitad de semana cuando llegamos. Mi pareja y yo pedimos desayuno basado en plantas. A pesar de que no figura como planta basada, pedimos una planta basada en Monty completo y el personal dijo que eso no sería un problema. No nos decepcionaron. La comida era deliciosa, caliente y salió rápido. Incluso el jugo sabía fabuloso y muy fresco. Nos recibieron con calidez y el personal era amable y servicial en todo momento. Nos sentimos como clientes valiosos y nos fuimos muy contentos. Sin duda volveremos y ya hemos recomendado a nuestros amigos.

Nada especial, larga espera para comer, el personal vestido con su propia ropa ni siquiera inteligente. El desayuno era promedio, el café casi frío a la hora en que llegó el desayuno

It's the most rubbish place I have been! Rubbish food nothing to do with real English breakfast all most k left beyond the plate! Then the bill? £23 I never seen a food place like that! And I don’t think they have a real. Chef! And the food it look like they ready served go other customers!

We were served by the lovely Gri on Monday morning who was super helpful and friendly! Our food was lovely and I’m glad I popped in for my birthday breakfast here!!

It's not bad~ but I don't think it feels like you have to go there. The food isn't bad either

In summary, great food, great service, lazy and poor accessibility offering. For full review including photos, see potato_world_and_beyond on Instagram!

Had to visit since everyone seems to praise the place for their delicious pancakes and breakfast in general, but I must say the place is hyped a bit too much. The food was good, don't get me wrong, there is just nothing special about it. The pancakes were personally a bit too sweet, but that's just me not having a sweet tooth. Service was great, the atmosphere with the music playing in the background is definitely for the plus. It's a great place for breakfast just not anything over the top. It can get quite busy during the weekends so I would definitely advise to book in advance if you don't want to wait an hour or so for the table.

GRI was lovely and friendly made us very welcome with grate service!

I had a fantastic experience at Breakfast Club! I ordered the Full Monty, along with a coffee and a mimosa, and everything was absolutely delicious. The service was quick, and Griselda’s attentive care truly made my visit exceptional. She went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and well taken care of. Highly recommended for a great breakfast and amazing hospitality!

Griselda is the best ( the whole staff really!) way helpful and friendly. I felt really comfortable and will definitely be back.

Breakfast was amazing!!! Gri, our waitress was lovely and friendly without being too obtrusive. Two people shared one Greasy Spoon breakfast (3 bacon, 2 sausage, 2egg, beans, and 2 hash browns between us) and had two portions of toast (door stops); v full now! All coffees were additional charges though, not included. Great that the dog was also welcome. Thank you Breakfast Club. Will return when next in Brighton!!!

Thanks Gri for the excellent service! Came here twice during my holiday! Excellent breakfast!

Griselda made our visit to The Breakfast Club absolutely wonderful! Her kindness, attentiveness, and warm demeanor made us feel right at home. The cozy ambiance of the restaurant added to the charm, and the food was simply outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Griselda’s excellent service truly elevated the experience. I can’t recommend this place enough for a delightful breakfast in Brighton!

Awesome service & lovely brunch. Thanks Rachel for looking after us :)

We were rushed by the waitress whilst obviously still dining. On three occasions she harangued us with the bill and put a reserved sign on the table while we were still eating. She ruined our day.

We arrived as a party of 5 with no reservation, we were shown how to book a space on the queue system and told approx 20-30mins so we went and walked in the lanes. Within 10mins we were in :) the service was brilliant, lovely calm atmosphere and the food was incredible! Was so glad we came along. Very grateful of the kindness shown by the staff.

John was our server and he was great! Super nice and friendly, food was so good! Great for vegans ♥️

Great food & great service, John is the best ⭐️

Brilliant food, slightly expensive but tasty

Fantastic vibey place! Love it here, staff are amazing and the food is delicious! Definitely will be back

Great brunch with the family. Food as spot on and staff were brilliant. We’ll be back!

Long wait, expensive, mixed feelings about the food, one person's order was wrong, nice drinks, friendly staff

Great atmosphere. Lovely food and fantastic service from Rachel this morning.

This place is amazing! We didn’t have a table booked and they quickly accommodated us as a walk in for 5 plus a highchair. Food was served quick and was really delicious. Rachel our server was so attentive and friendly. A must visit in Brighton!

Rachel served us today, great food and great atmosphere with quick service. Rachel has the coolest hair!

Rachel was lovely, very friendly and attentive. Love the food here. Will be back!

Had a gorgeous brunch with a friend. Rachel was lovely and really accommodating with our picky eating needs 🙃 thank you!

We arrived this morning and were told to scan a QR code even though there were several empty tables, that seemed to remain empty during our 45 minute wait. We ordered our food and drinks. The drinks arrived right away, but the food took almost an hour and people that were sat after us at several tables had gotten their food. So we talked to the waitress and asked if our order had not been put in, she told us it had, but suddenly after she went to the kitchen to check then our food appeared. The food was luke warm and pretty tasteless. For two people at 56 pounds and all in all nearly a two hour wait it really ruined our morning outing for breakfast. Please steer clear, there are much nicer places, with friendlier staff, better food and faster service.

Came this morning and I’m coming back!! A must visit for a trip to Brighton, our server Jen was helpful and sweet and advised us on the all American which was the perfect thing and I’m still full from it!

we stood waiting for a table! not acknowledged for a good 5 mins! service was very good considering only 2 staff working & busy..the food 2xthe breakfast club club was disappointing quite bland..very filling but tasteless..notsure we will be back..

By far some of the best potatoes I've eaten in ever.

Nice place. Bit pricy but good food

Waited almost half an hour for a breakfast. Gave up in the end and left hungry.

Amazing service, yummy iced peach tea and fabulous cooked breakfast. A must when in Brighton

A great place to go if you need a filling American style breakfast that will keep you going for the rest of the day.

Muffin was rock hard and so hard to cut but the place was so busy I didn’t want to complain. The big breakfast we ordered was luke warm. Eggs florentine was so flavourful but muffin being rock hard was not great

Fabulous food, amazing service, and great music! As a solo customer, I was made to feel very welcome and comfortable. A really good experience 😊

Food was expensive for what it was, but still great atmosphere

Staff are great, decor and soundtrack very nice. Approx 30 minutes wait for a table turned into well over an hour, then from ordering to food arriving 50 minutes. If you have nothing to do for a large chunk of your day, give it a go. If you have a life, swerve it.

Unfortunately this was not a good experience today. We normally have a good meal there with excellent service but today it wasn’t good. We had been waiting a while for drinks and it wasn’t until we grabbed the waiter as he was seating another table that we were served. And then out food was lukewarm when it did come out. It seemed that they had a large order going out for delivery before our food and it meant ours was waiting to go cold whilst they packed this up. For the cost, it just wasn’t good enough. I wouldn’t go there again. Which is such a shame as other experiences have been good.

Amazing, I thought at first it was a little pricey but when I received my breakfast it was worth every single penny! Top quality food! Also great latte.

Friendly staff and great food. With 80’s music playing for a great vibe

Really disappointing experience here this Sunday. It was difficult to even order our food as no-one returned to take our food order after getting drinks and once we did order there was then a 40 min wait for the food to arrive. Other people arrived, ordered, ate their food and left within the time it took for ours to come. I haven't been to a Breakfast Club for quite a few years and ordered Huevos Rancheros which I have previously enjoyed but it was nothing like I remembered. The eggs were poorly cooked, underdone with runny egg whites but the yolk cooked through, the chorizo was in the form of small flavourless overcooked pebbles, there was no soured cream or refried beans just a pointless scattering of a few black beans, the whole thing was under seasoned and in measly portions. My partner enjoyed her meal but her scrambled eggs were also overdone. There are so many other places doing great brunch in Brighton it doesn't make sense to go here as it isn't what it used to be.

Nice place to go. Never been before but would go again

"Fantastic experience from start to finish! The front-of-house team at The Breakfast Club are professional and welcoming, even with the caf’ always busy. The new menu, especially the BYO (build your own) option, is a great touch, and the food is delicious. It’s a welcoming spot for everyone—hard to get a table, but absolutely worth it!"

Fab food & atmosphere. I had the big stack & it was made to perfection! Staff so welcoming & friendly. Can’t wait to go back! Thanks all!!!

Amazing breakfast, always receive a warm welcome from staff even when cafe is full and slammed. I will be back for the chorizo hash 💚

Highly recommend this place for a brunch with friends!! Friendly staff, good music and vibes, and delicious food. Ed, the barista, makes the best caramel oat latte in Brighton! Will definitely be back again soon!

Was absolutely disgusted at the welcome I received at your Brighton restaurant just now. Turned up, someone said “hi” as if to help me then walked straight past. Next person turned up a couple of minutes later asked the guy behind me “how can I help you” and as I was in front of the other guy and closest to him, I cut in and said “yes, there is 2 of us and 3 dogs” and he said in a very condescending manner “you can sit down but we’re not doing food”. Shocked at his manner, I said “oh, ok then” and turned around to leave and heard him say to the person behind that there was an hour and a half wait for food. I thought to myself, why couldn’t he have said that to me rather than his rude tones. Maybe didn’t like us bringing our fur babies? Diabolical customer service. Have been before with no bother but this has ruined it for us. Won’t be back.

Came today with friends for Sunday brunch and had the best time! Best pancakes I think I’ve ever had.. And the staff were all top notch! Alfie who served us, was so lovely and made sure we got everything we needed even though it was super busy in the restaurant. Will defo be back! Also loved the tunes!

Having been recommended it by a family member, myself and a few friends decided to stop in for lunch at The Breakfast Club several days ago during our visit to Brighton. We were really amazed by how welcoming, friendly and attentive the staff were during our time there. The portions are big and the atmosphere is so much fun. All the food we tried was so delicious and we will definitely be returning next time we’re over this way!

Best spot in Brighton for brekkie. The staff were attentive despite how busy the restaurant was. 10/10

Great Breakfast, could have done with a bigger plate! ' - but tasty and original. nice cup of tea °

My fav place to brunch 😋 😍 Great food. Friendly service and a great atmosphere. They play great music too!

Came down with the family for a day off, and ended up at the breakfast club for lunch. We had an absolutely fantastic time, with great tunes, great service and brilliant pancakes - would highly recommend!

Always a friendly welcome here and the food is good! I took one star off as the coffee was quite bitter, this time I think it was maybe a bit burnt. Good music and atmosphere. It does get busy so book to avoid disappointment.

Absolutely disappointed. It's really annoying to pay 14 pounds for per person smashed avocado on dry bread (not even sourdough and very very not fresh) and one meaningless pouch egg on top that arrives 20 minutes later. No taste. This is not a portion of a breakfast and is not worth the money. Also, the orange juice that comes in a glass full of ice is not worth the money because there was no orange juice in it, just full ice. It doesn't make sense for a coffee to cost 4.50 It's just an illusion. It shouldn't be that easy to exploit people's feelings of having breakfast in the morning. Anyway it was a really bad day.

Friendly service, the food was filling and tasty

Pancakes are amazing! I enjoyed them

Stop by for breakfast, and its quite good. The coffee is great but the pancakes and french toast are quite standard. The ambience is very nice and all the waiters are amazingly friendly.

Won’t go again as dojo app was wrong. Trash service if can’t get basic things like that correct. Update: it's actually somewhat incorrect. You can control the queue times on Dojo, as it's a service you have subscribed to. If the staff can't manage the app correctly, I would suggest removing the virtual queueing system and stick to a more standard system if it is too complex.
