Tasting Notes: A Luxurious Pancake and Mimosa Dining Experience at Midtown, Lafayette's Stylish New Brunch Haven
The Breakfast Club: A New Brunch Spot in Downtown Lafayette
The Breakfast Club, a new addition to the Walnut Creek-Lafayette area, has taken over the former Patxis Pizza spot in a local shopping center. This charming eatery offers a unique brunch experience with its classy and upscale breakfast options.
Located at 3577 Mount Diablo Blvd, Lafayette, CA 94549, The Breakfast Club is a perfect spot for a special occasion or for treating out-of-town guests or clients. The restaurant's interior boasts a spacious bar area and a beautifully renovated dining room, creating a lively and inviting atmosphere.
The menu at The Breakfast Club is extensive, featuring a variety of popular brunch items such as pancakes and mimosas. One standout dish is the kid's Mickey Mouse pancake, which is far larger than expected and delightfully decorated with whipped cream, Oreo cookies, bacon, and a token amount of fruit.
For those seeking a more elaborate breakfast, the restaurant offers a range of fancy omelets and eggs benedict dishes. Prices are slightly higher than average, with a basic breakfast of eggs and bacon costing $17 and some eggs benedict dishes reaching as much as $24.
The shopping center where The Breakfast Club resides has undergone a transformation. It now houses a vintage store, a store devoted entirely to stretching, a nail salon, and more, breathing new life into the once struggling center. The Bel and Bunna Books store, which previously occupied the center, has moved down the block.
Despite its spacious interior, The Breakfast Club fills up quickly during busy times and does not accept reservations. However, the fresh squeezed orange juice and endless refills of coffee make waiting worthwhile.
In comparison, Jack's in Pleasant Hill is a more budget-conscious and no-frills casual breakfast spot. While it offers hearty, traditional breakfast options at affordable to mid-range prices, its ambiance tends to be more straightforward and family-friendly.
For the most accurate and current information on menu prices and ambiance comparisons, checking recent online reviews or the restaurants’ direct menus is recommended. Whether you're a local or a visitor, The Breakfast Club in downtown Lafayette is a must-visit for a memorable brunch experience.
