Breakfast Trio (blueberry toast, california toast, white chocolate pistachio pancake)
Elise W.

The food was okay. The service was not good. We asked many times to get plates or water or order our food. But the staff were nice, just too busy to give good service. The crab benedict had this nice crispy texture to it, but the hashbrowns were mid with little texture. The strawberry waffle was sweet. The california toast was more creamy and had a banana taste to it. The pistachio white chocolate pancake was VERY sweet. A little too sweet. And kinda dry. The blueberry toast was interesting. It has cream cheese on it. It was very heavy and tasted interesting. Don't recommend ordering it if you don't like blueberry bagels or yogurt. Overall, I would recommend the crab benedict and the strawberry waffle out of all of them. The restaurant is very pretty and the interior and ambience is just right for breakfast. Not impressed tho.

The huevos rancheros breakfast plate
Jed N.

Quick service, hearty servings, lively atmosphere. The Breakfast Club is a chain restaurant known for their namesake food and also brunch and lunch. They have everything from huevos rancheros to sandwiches to pancake stacks. The only drawback in this location is difficulty finding parking and the looong wait times during the weekend, so try to get a reservation if you can. If not, you can always grab a coffee nearby or walk around the shops across the street.

We just went to the Livermore location and stumbled across this one the other day. Breakfast is just that, breakfast, the basics. I will say, something did not sit well with my stomach after this visit. Not sure if I would go back to this location. The tables are too close for me and when we sat outside there was a speaker right above us so we went inside to sit at the bar with more space.

Loco moco

Short rib hash, chicken apple sausage omelette, Georgia peach bubbles, sourdough toast
Sabrina Z.

Came here on a Friday at 1 pm. Restaurant wasn't too crowded and we were seated right away. We ordered: - Short rib hash- 3.7/5 rating (needed more flavor, hash was misleading, it was more like a baked potato, there was an egg shell, and the short rib was a little dry) - chicken apple sausage omelette (with sourdough toast and hash brown) - 4/5 (just a standard omelette) - Georgia peach bubbles- 3/5 (tasted like an orange mimosa with a sugar rim)

Korean fried chicken and rice
Tracy R.

So pleasantly surprised to see that they have a breakfast club in the Castro Valley!! This upscale, trendy breakfast place has a variety of offerings. They have basic breakfasts - both savory and sweet- but also dishes some Mexican and Asian flair. -Chilaquiles (4/5) - yummy and huge portion. Served with short rib, beans, and hash browns. The green sauce is a perfect mild, and it's served with lots of toppings - cheese, guac, jalapeños - the works. -Korean fried chicken and rice (4/5) - the chicken was a little on the spicier side but overall a good dish! We came after the lunch hour, about 2 pm, and were seated outside without a wait. The restaurant is very spacious and vibey. Service was friendly, and food came out in about 10-15 min. They were very accommodating and sat us in an area that could fit my stroller. I'll definitely be back to this location for brunch!

Me and my friend were quite surprised to see that they had opened a new Breakfast at Midtown -- because to be honest, we had only knew of the one near Downtown San Jose. The logo looked legit, so we decided to give it a try. All I will say is -- despite being really spontaneous about it, I do not regret going to this new location. Not only is it closer to me in terms of distance to my house, but also, it is very close to work for me, and a prime location for me and my Castro Valley friends to meet up. The ambiance was also very similar to the one in San Jose, except The hospitality at the Breakfast at Midtown was top-tier. I really appreciated the fact that they were able to seat us inside despite how busy they were in the morning. We got a mimosa each, with orange juice, and Benedicts and omelettes. It was really savory, not too overly salted, and I thought that it was quite enough for both of us. The portion was so big that I had to take the rest to have for leftovers. Will definitely be back to bring more friends to this breakfast spot -- they are as equally yummy as the San Jose one, so thankfully they won't have to make that trek down to the South Bay if we wanted a taste.

Tofu scramble
Molly L.

We've come here a few times now and each time I've left feeling a little underwhelmed. This latest time, we ordered the Tofu scramble and the bacon scramble. The tofu scramble, I was told, was a popular dish, and it is made with no egg or meat products. But it was a little dry and the veggies in there lacked flavor as well. My partner liked the bacon scramble. He's also had the Korean chicken here, which he thought was generous in portion. I've had the huevos rancheros and was disappointed by the Tex-mex taste of the refried beans and lack of flavor. This place gets really busy especially on the weekends, and they did a great job remodeling the inside from the old Shari's Pies, which was much darker inside. But the staff is not super attentive because it gets so busy. The food is also a little on the pricy side as well.

Low carb scramble
Mel S.

If you're hungry and craving a big breakfast, brunch, or lunch, then The Breakfast Club is perfect! The portions are huge! I ate a good amount, and still have an entire meal as leftovers. Service and Staff: - Came here at 11:45am on a Monday and got seated right away (it was pretty busy) - Our server was kind and quick to take our order and get our food to us Food: - Pancake: ordered one to try and it was tasty. Quite large - Chilaquiles: choice of red or green sauce. Massive portion between the chips, eggs of your choice, fruit, choice of hash browns or potatoes, and refried beans - Low Carb Scramble: also quite a large portion, but healthy! Miscellaneous: - Parking available via shared parking lot with other businesses - Low tables and high tops available - Good for small and larger groups - Bar seats available also

We were visiting mom and decided to go to breakfast/brunch afterwards. The Breakfast Club came up in a Yelp search with a bunch of other places. Never knew they were a chain but we decided to try it. Okay, pics were taken after I started eating (sorry! I was hungry!). I ordered the split Benedict - 1 surf & turf and 1 Neptune. The hollandaise sauce was fricking amazing. I definitely liked the surf & turf much better than the Neptune but both were tasty. Service was on pointe. We were sat outside but the sun made things uncomfortable because the umbrellas did not shield provide adequate shade. There was no longer available inside. Oh well. There was no wait to sit outside.

MAC & CHEESE - $19 - Homemade mac & cheese with bacon, topped with eggs.
Tu-Anh N.

WHEN: Wed @12:30pm Wow this place is huge, with seatings in the front, inside, and the back outdoor patio! Unfortunately parking is a bit difficult around lunchtime even though it's a huge free lot. But not terrible if you don't mind walking a tiny bit. I met up with 2 fine folks for lunch, and here's what we family styled: MAC & CHEESE - $19 Homemade mac & cheese with bacon, topped with eggs. Choose to have my eggs sunny side up, and it's really good! The pasta is cheesy and saucy, with the crunchy and savory bacon bits. The egg yolk makes it more saucy and you are happy to have so much protein in this dish! If you are a fan of both Mac n cheese and breakfast, I highly suggest ordering this best of both worlds! MIDTOWN SCRAMBLE - $20 Scrambled eggs with ham, mushrooms, green onions, tomato, cheddar jack cheese, and sour cream on a bed of hashbrowns. Topped with hollandaise. So happy I was able to replace the ham with sausage instead! The hashbrown. For my bread option, I chose COFFEE CAKE, and it was such a nice and yummy dessert to my brunch, hehe. It has blueberries! But the main reason why we chose this scramble was that it comes with hollandaise sauce! I never seen this, and boy was it yummy! CORNED BEEF HASH (SIDE) - $9 Such a big serving for a "side". Very shareable and I appreciate the balance amount between carbs (potato's) and meat! CHORIZO (SIDE) - $5 You get one huge grilled link that you can share too. So good. I like it here and would like to come back. I love how much you get to customize your meals, and if you mix match! For example, if you can't decide on which pancake, french toast, or eggs Benedict, you can mix it up instead of have them all be one flavor. So clever. I have to come back.

Smores Pancakes
Vincent G.

It took a couple years for this corner spot to finally get a good restaurant and The Breakfast Club got it right. Such a huge upgrade from Shari's. We came to this location on a busy Sunday and the wait was around 30 minutes to get seated. Luckily there are enough shops around the village to check out while waiting for that text message for seating. Please note that visiting this restaurant means you'll be spending more than the average for a brunch meal. I ordered the Chicken and Waffles for $20 and for dessert some Smores Pancakes for $16. The quality and presentation of the food was excellent and everything was prepared well. The portions are also large enough you'll probably want to take it home for another meal. If you're able to spend a bit more for brunch and bear the wait time, give this place a try and you won't be disappointed!

Strawberry banana crepe
Lynn W.

Portion is huge. Every order was delicious. 10/10. Strawberry Banana Crepe 9/10. Crab Benedict (Benny) was 10/10. Latte 10/10. Milk was good (regular). Service was professional. Place is clean, welcoming, suitable for all types of diners (even singles). Highly recommended.

The cheese is rich, smooth, and perfectly melted, coating every piece of pasta without being too heavy or greasy. It's that balance a lot of places miss: creamy without feeling overwhelming. The texture is where it really stands out. The noodles are cooked just right not too soft, not too firm so every bite has that perfect consistency. And if there's a baked top layer, it adds that slight crisp that contrasts the creaminess underneath, making it even better. Flavor-wise, it's deep. You can taste the blend of cheeses instead of just one basic note. It's savory, slightly sharp, and comforting at the same time. It's the kind of dish that doesn't need extras to prove itself it already stands strong on its own. What really makes it memorable though is how it feels like more than just food. It's the type of mac and cheese that reminds you why simple dishes matter when they're done right. It's warm, satisfying, and leaves you thinking about it even after you're done. Some meals fill you up... this one stays with you. I am impressed!!

The Customer Service from him was terrific, and noteworthy. As was the delectable meal prepared for me. The classic grilled cheese, paired with the tomato soup is everything. A solidly recommendable combination. A favorite choice of many, especially is for a comfort foodie like me. At any time of day/night, I'm down to indulge. I'm grateful for the late closing hours. Also, the Alameda Craft soda stations, they have at each location. Which I find are the better of options we can choose from all When electing to dine in, after ordering items. I nowadays will only choose the sodas to drink that are crafted with real cane sugar. Not the high fructose corn syrup. You can taste the real difference. I now fondly prefer the seven different Alameda Soda beverage flavors on tap. Fortunately, they are free of artificial flavors/colors. Yay!

We were able to get a table inside- it was nostalgic to hear the seniors talking about graduation and summer plans We liked the casual environment and the fun, happy energy. They do have a loyalty program- details were on the bottom of the receipt. I also noticed the next day on upside app that if you claim the offer- you can get 6% bank on your purchases Restaurant and restrooms were clean We found plenty of parking in the lot. Conveniently in the Trader Joe's lot- so of course we popped in there to walk off our decedent lunch and grab a few staples.
