The Breakfast Club Canary Wharf, The Caf

We had visited the place for breakfast/brunch. I had high expectations that I would enjoy a good meal. However, this place serves American-based meals- so i was disappointed by the ‘dryness’ of the meal (definitely not my preference). The space is lovely though, modern decor and good seating

Went for a friends birthday and I’m so glad I did. We were seated quickly although it was at the lower back area where it’s a little bit run down looking and not super comfortable, but it was still nice. Waiter was attentive and friendly. They do let dogs in which is fine but the dog that was there was super loud - not the venues fault but nobody asked the owner to take the dog outside or get it to be quiet. We got the Nashville Benedict and the Chicken and Waffles. Food was perfect! Staff were super accommodating to some changes that we requested. Overall it was a delicious experience and I will be returning for sure.

I want to start with the good. I had my 40th birthday here, so we were a big group. We went for bottomless brunch and my food was delicious and the booze was flowing. However! Booking was very difficult! The only way to book is online, even if you phone and go through the automated system, it sends a link to book (for my group size anyway). It's an important event to me, and I wanted to speak to someone. Eventually I got someone to ring me, but even they stuck to email in the end. I was told that we had to preorder and at 13:15 (our booking was at 13:00) the food would start arriving. We could order extras or sides on the day if we wanted to, but they would take a bit longer than the food. On the day, food didn't start arriving until 13:40, and the last person eventually got their meal 14:30. I ordered the burger, which was delicious, but compared to the other dishes was not a lot of food (but was the same price). I was starving and asked to order (and pay) for more, but was told the kitchen was too busy. The person serving us (Jack) was very polite and friendly and kept the booze flowing, but he needed help from the kitchen and the other staff, and to us it felt as if he wasn't getting it. This has the potential to be great, but these issues need addressing.
