The Breakfast Club

I had the cream cheese scramble I believe it was or something of the sort. Good option it definitely filled me up. Heads up if you go solo they have a bar for open seating.

I've eaten here a bunch of times, it's my go-to breakfast place in SJ. Food is great, large portions, good service. It gets super busy on the weekends so be prepared for an hour wait on a weekend. Also on the weekends they usually run out of the coffee cake so if you're wanting that get there earlier. I love when they have seasonal mimosas but I haven't seen that my last couple times here, hope they bring some around soon.My only irk is it can be really loud inside, I really wish they had better sound dampening. But I'll still keep coming back, I love this place.

We went on a Sunday morning and found a long line outside, so we ended up waiting about 40 minutes.Midtown Trio:Everything looked so good that I decided to go with the Midtown Trio, which lets you pick three options from pancakes and French toast. We chose Cookies & Cream Pancakes, Peach Cobbler Pancakes, and California French Toast. The French toast came with lots of fruit, and the Peach Cobbler Pancakes were fluffy and delicious.Ambiance:The restaurant was really busy, and the music was a bit loud, so it didn't feel like the best place to relax and take your time. The food was great, though, so next time, I'll try coming during a less crowded time!

Love this place!parking is not that great, because you'll have to park across in the midtown plaza center, cross the street, BUT it's really not an issue (walk) great customer service as soon as you walk in, get seated & wait to get serviced. They are on it with refills & any questions. Cute decor inside & lots of seating inside. The pricing for the food, I Think? is not too bad for what your pay for. The best thing, is the food is yummy & every plate comes out looking cute. Picture Pefect!

The wait is long so come early. The music was definitely a vibe but it was just so loud we could barely hear the server. There is plenty of seating indoors.The food portions are large! We had the Popeyes omelet, loco moco, s'mores pancakes, and coffee cake. Definitely couldn't finish it all and took the rest to go. The service was slow because it was very busy. I wouldn't come back to eat here; however I would order to go and pick it up to eat at home. Several parties ended up just leaving because the wait was too long.It seemed like most people did that! They totally knew what's up.

I understand the hype now - The Breakfast Club is a down-to-earth brunch spot that's clearly loved by locals. The food was delicious. Our server was kind enough to give us our coffee cake before our entrees so we could have it with our warm coffee. The coffee cake was so good - we had to stop ourselves to save room for everything else. We got a vegetarian soyrizo scramble and the churro waffle to share - both made the clean plate club. Would definitely come again.

The Breakfast Club will always be my go-to spot for brunch in San Jose. It's so popular and for good reason. The food is delicious, filling, and the portion sizes are worth the price. It's a huge place but still feels cozy. It's always packed on weekends and can get quite loud with everyone chatting. Get ready to wait outside for up to an hour for a table. I recommend their pancakes and French toast, it always hits the spot. They don't take reservations so be prepared to show up early and wait for at least 45 min to over an hour. The hostess writes down your name and party size on a notebook but you'll watch as people get upset when parties of the same size who objectively checked in after you get a table before you. I've been three times already and I've watched this happen, every. single. time. There's a tiny booth inside but it barely fits 2 people, so people are stuck waiting outside the doors on a super windy street. I just wish they had a bigger waiting area inside or at least some table and chairs outside. If you're expecting to enjoy a latte or cappuccino with your food, sorry. They only serve black coffee, and if you ask for a milk/cream/sugar they'll direct you to order from the Starbucks next door. Which closed down. I was definitely taken aback when they first told me this, but at least their food makes up for their lack of coffee options.

Arrived as a party of 5 and everything went smoothly! We all left feeling full and satisfied. My party and I arrived super hungry which was our downfall because we had such a hard time trying to decide what to order lol.All in all, the table got 2 Santa Maria's, a 2 Egg Breakfast with corned beef, the Carnitas Bene, and the Homemade Hash with corned beef. Everyone enjoyed their meals, however I think the star of the show was the Carnitas Bene. The flavor profile of the dish was perfect and it was also extremely filling! The table also shared the Strawberry and Banana crepe which of course was delicious so no surprise there. Drinks were very very strong (that's a good thing lol) and we were pretty content with just sipping on one drink during the entirety of our meal. Thanks bartender!We were surprised that the wait wasn't long for a Sunday morning. We were expecting an hour wait prior to our arrival but we were informed that we would be able to get sat within 20 minutes. I would suggest calling beforehand and asking what the current wait time is before arriving! It can get very busy and hectic so call ahead or make a reservation. There is a parking lot next door that has 2-hour free parking from 6am-6pm, and street parking if the lot is full.

We ordered the Crab Benedict and chicken + waffles. The Crab Benedict was my favorite because of all the flavors. It had a poached egg, hollandaise sauce, and a crab cake on top of an English muffin. The Crab was so crispy but also soft, which was my favorite. The hash brown side was also huge and super tasty! The chicken and waffles also had a large portion. The chicken was so savory and the waffle was soft and sweet which gave it a nice contrast

Favorite Brunch Spot!My husband and I visited our go-to brunch spot on a Friday lunch date. We're repeat customers for a reason!The red velvet pancakes are a MUST-TRY! Oh, the presentation is stunning - that vibrant red color is wow! I usually request that the cream cheese drizzle and whipped cream be kept on the side, so I can adjust the sweetness level to my taste. If you're not a fan of super sweet dishes, I highly recommend doing the same!My husband's favorite, the Farm House Omelette, never disappoints. The coffee cake is another winner - unique flavors and absolutely delicious!Be prepared for a wait, especially on weekends (up to 2 hours!). However, Friday afternoons are relatively manageable (we waited 35-40 minutes). Parking is easy, thanks to the free public lot next door.Service can be slow due to the crowds, but the staff does their best to deliver dishes as soon as they're ready.We'll be back for more!
