Good vegan and veg options - Edit
The scrambled tofu on toast was delicious! (a lot of the veggie dishes can be modified to be vegan by swapping out eggs for scrambled tofu free of charge)

Unpleasantly loud - Edit
This place is so crammed with tables that if it's full it is so noisy with people shouting over the loud music and there is no space between the tables so we felt like we were sharing the couple's date at the table next to us. Luckily we were on our way to an event so had earplugs with us which we wore the whole time, but to be honest I wish I'd walked out before ordering as it was such an unpleasant dining experience. I've stopped going to Mildred's for this exact reason so it was disappointing to find it somewhere else.
Read moreIt was a blessing that the service was very fast so we didn't have to stay too long. We both had the vegan English breakfast, it was tasty but didn't blow me away, and the portion size was underwhelming considering the price.
Pros: Fast service, Food was tasty, Staff were friendly
Cons: Too loud, Tables too close to each other , Portion was underwhelming

Incredible breakfast - Edit
We decided to grab some late breakfast here as I slept in.
Read moreWe both got vegan all American breakfasts (it doesn't stay it can be made vegan on the menu, but we saw in a review people saying it could be) and a latte with oatly.
The breakfast was pancakes with maple syrup, scrambled tofu, la vie bacon, sausage, seasoned potatoes.
This was definitely a place I would eat from again... possibly Tomorrow..
The latte was good, I got distracted by the breakfast and let it get cold. So make sure if your getting a hot drink to finish it first 😂
The staff member was very friendly, and the place had a retro theme including music which was nice.
Pros: Breakfast, Theme of restaurant, Staff friendliness

Consider this a 5 star rating - Edit
I got the vegan All American and an oat milk latte.
Read moreThe latte was lovely, and it's made using Oatly barista so it was nice and creamy.
The All American was amazing! The tofu scramble was delicious, it had a strong tumeric taste which I would usually dislike but it was seasoned so well that it actually worked. The bacon and sausages were perfect, and could possible fool a meat eater. The potatoes were crispy and extremely savoury, in a good way. The pancakes were a bit dry, and the maple didn't really help to moisten them, but they tasted lovely.
The staff were lovely and friendly, and the prices were good, especially for how filling the breakfast was.
I will definitely come here again. I would have rated it 5 star, but HappyCow doesn't allow places that serve meat to be given more than 4 stars.
It's very noisy and busy.
The entrance was difficult to find (we also saw another group struggle to find out so it wasn't just us).
There is a £0.50 charge for oat milk.
Pros: Delicious, filling food, Lovely staff, Cool decor and music
Cons: Difficult to find the front door, Very noisy and busy, Charge for oat milk

Hectic but pleasant! - Edit
I went on a Saturday morning not realising just how popular this spot is, and now I understand why! The atmosphere is warm and pleasantly lively. The service was quick and the food was very tasty.

Good breakfast - Edit
We both had the big American breakfast veganised. The menu doesn't say it can be veganised but I asked and they said yes. Every item was delicious, but overall I found it a bit dry. I might just get a pancake stack if I went again. But the scrambled tofu was really nice. I also thought the sausage had a very good taste (if quite a dense texture, but enjoyed it). They claim to use the best vegan bacon available but I beg to disagree!
Read moreThe Amber juice was really lovely and the coffee is nice. We queued from outside but the queue moved quickly and service is very quick.
I response to a previous review about table size - They just seat you at the next available table, so as a party of 2 you could get a big booth or be squashed onto a tiny table and have to hold onto your coffee when the people on the next table get up!

Pros: Range of things that can be made vegan , Quick service, Juice
Cons: Breakfast a bit dry, Bacon not great , Surcharge for plant milk

It'll do - Edit
Came here for breakfast before heading to Stansted for a flight.
Read moreThey do vegan versions of various foods. Some are quite surprising - you can get an "All-American Breakfast" with pancakes, sausages, bacon, scrambled eggs... all vegan! It's nice when a place puts the effort in like that.
The pancakes, potatoes, and scrambled eggs (tofu) were all really good, but unfortunately the bacon was pretty bad and the sausage was maybe the worst I've ever had. It was so dense and tough. I really don't know what went wrong. If they'd just fried up a couple of Linda McCartneys, or Lidl vegan sausages, or Richmonds, or anything at all, it would have been fine, but this was really bad.
The staff were friendly, but they couldn't stop the atmosphere of the place being "stressful." We were really packed in like sardines, and there was a queue of people waiting right out the door.
I'd probably still go back here, but would avoid the sausage. Maybe just get a coffee and avocado toast. The coffee was nice. If you have more time, go anywhere else, but if you're in a push, this place "will do."

Big Fat Breakfast - Edit
After a short night, early wake up to take the plane to London, first things on our mind was to kick off the day with a nice breakfast. So, what could be better than trying out “the Breakfast Club”. Little did we know that on a week day it would be so full already too.
Read moreFor next time, we keep in mind to book a spot before hands, but we were lucky that by waiting only an additional 10’ we managed to have a seat.
The menu is big and has several vegan options.
This time I had a sweet tooth and was craving a tower of pancakes with some nice whipped cream. The pancakes were very fluffy, not sweet so it paired perfectly with the maple syrup.
The cream was flavored of lemon & vanilla, and was very soft.
I would definitely go back again and try the “All Americian” breakfast.

Amazing - Edit
First thing I did when I stepped off the train was come here for breakfast. Looked it up online before and the reviews looked good. Glad I booked a table because it was busy but all the staff were really friendly. I got the vegan all American pancakes and they were so so good. Was a bit loud because it was busy but would happily come here every time I visit London
Read morePros: Big portions, Really friendly staff
Cons: Kinda loud

Amazing potatoes - Edit
I've been quite a few times and always want to try new things but always end up getting the all American breakfast because I can't imagine not eating the pancakes or potatoes. Big portions, friendly staff, just can get very busy

Great options - Edit
Fantastic menu, friendly staff. Tea in a decent sized mug and sizeable portions. Be warned that it gets very busy so you will either want to book or be there at opening! I make a point of going every time I'm in London.
Read moreAll American Breakfast and the vegan Reggie the Veggie are both delicious, and the avocado toast doesn't skimp on the avocado!
Pros: Great portion sizes, Good options, Fast service
Cons: Lots of chili and black pepper, Very busy

Delicious - Edit
I went there with my girlfriend and we had the full vegan breakfast and also vegan pancakes. Unforgettable😄Everything was delicious and the portions of food were very big, so you better be hungry when you go to the breakfast club!! They also have brunch... it is very crowded on Sunday mornings for that reason. You may have to wait a little to be seated.
Read morePros: Nice atmosphere, Friendly stuff, Delicious food
Cons: Expensive, It is usually crowded
