The Breakfast Club

The Breakfast Club is easily one of the best breakfast spots around. The food is consistently excellent, with generous portions and everything tasting fresh and homemade. You can tell they really care about what they’re serving. The service is just as impressive—friendly, attentive, and welcoming from the moment you walk in. It’s the kind of place where the staff makes you feel like a regular even on your first visit. The atmosphere is warm, relaxed, and perfect for starting the day with family or friends. If you’re looking for a great breakfast and a place you’ll want to come back to again and again, The Breakfast Club absolutely delivers.

I wanted to love this place. It is basically 4 breakfast places in one (they have burgers, breakfast, what seems to be a bakery and a coffe bar/bar). Sadly, it's kind of chaotic and messy. We had 4 of us. We ordered 3 from the breakfast (chicken/french toast and two traditional breakfasts with sausage, potato and toast/english muffin with eggs). The traditional breakfast was terrible. After waiting for 40 minutes we got cold eggs, breakfast potatos that seemed to "try to hard" and taste bad and pretty sure my sausage wasn't cooked (this is fresh sausage) so I didn't even eat it. Our breakfast (one of the kids got a burger which he said was fabulous) was $100 if that tells you about costs. We "tipped" our server when we purchased (this is requested) and basically never saw them to even complain about our breakfast. The highlight was we just started buying things from the bakery which gets 5 stars (croissants, pastries were delicious). Bakery was expensive as well but honestly worth it. The food was 1 star but giving 3 stars because the burger was great and bakery is great. Also got the Mimosa flight (not part of the original $100 dollars spent) and that was great as well. Drinks and bakery items came out quick - everything else was an apology it took so long. Again, wanted to love this place but they need to have someone out there actually checking on tables.

The vibe was there and you ordered through your phone on a QR code that they provided. Every time something was ordered, a ding sound would sound and it was very comforting there as well. The prices however, are very bougie and for 2 people that ordered French toast and 2 drinks ended up being $60?!?! I would definitely come back if the prices were lowered. The food quality in my opinion did not meet the standards of each persons meal being $30 especially for a breakfast place.

Still a really good experience here but not as good as beard and the boss or revenant. I only ordered a soup dumpling on the side ($2) and their potato squares on the side ($3) so I didn’t have a bona fide meal here. The soup dumpling was tasty but small and it seemed a little fried? Not how I normally have them but still good. My real issue is with the potatoes. They were so flaky but sooo deep fried. I know that’s how they come but the fried flavor was a little too much for me. To be fair, I ordered it with the zoodle salad from beard and the boss so Maybe that was a bad call. Would come again to try something else but not my top pick in Dainty Maid Food Hall!

This was my first time coming to this place, and I don’t think I’ll be rushing to come back. My review has nothing to do with the kindness of the people working there. They were very friendly. Starting right away, we were confused as to if we were at the right place or not. “The Breakfast Club” was hidden amongst four other spots inside a collective restaurant “unit”. Not easy to see from the outside from the POV of a new person to South Bend. From there, we were not thrilled that there are no paper menu options. It cannot be that expensive in 2025 to have handheld menus available. The water had a funky taste to it. Not sure if that was a South Bend issue or a flavor added in, but certainly was not the best tasting water. I cannot comprehend why a customer would tip service prior to receiving it. That seems unethical to me as part of the pre-eating experience. Pay for a meal before eating? That’s a cafeteria philosophy and is wrong. I feel bad for the workers. They seemingly have to go from being servers to bakers to bartenders and more. That’s certainly a lot of responsibility for a job that i’m sure doesn’t pay all that well. The food was fine. Nothing amazing. I wouldn’t pay the prices we did for a breakfast burger that was battling itself to see who would have the strongest flavor coming out of it. In my opinion, a good breakfast sandwich is harmonious. The ingredients compliment the centerpiece of it, which is usually the protein. This sandwich had a McDonalds hashbrown on top of meats that had competing flavors to it, with a mayo that we barely had any of. Overall- the place is confusing and not what we’d hoped for. The review is not a shot against the staff who were kind and worked very hard. I think systemically the place if flawed. I’m sure it is going for a GEN Z appeal, but for people who are from a small town, it’s not something we’d hurry to come back to eat at. Potential is there with a few changes!

The Breakfast Club restaurant was a real treat. The food was tasty and delicious and the menu has a nice variety of food. The atmosphere is really eclectic and the staff was very welcoming and friendly. Our family gave this establishment two thumbs up and five stars.

Here’s a compliment to the kitchen for the Breakfast Burger Sunny Side Up: “Thor smashing the glass against the floor” good. Worthy of devouring!

For clarity I ordered takeout: Was a very meh experience, I arrived about 5 minutes after got the text that my food was ready, when I got back to work my food was lukewarm. The taste was fantastic, could dial back the saltiness on the dumplings but the chicken and biscuits were really good. Would order again, but probably in-store. I recommend that they find a better takeout/food warming situation.

Food was great,service was excellent, and the restaurant was clean, seating was spaced out, and decorated nicely.

Really enjoyed my food. Although it's very much so like a self service (order via QR code on table & they bring you everything) the staff still make a good effort to make you feel welcomed and check on you. The kitchen and restaurant are clean and it has a very nice amber, hip, yet modern atmosphere. Only reason I give it 4 stars is because it's hard to find. I am traveling here for work and Respectfully, there's alot of abandoned business all around south bend. With the construction going on next door, I wish there was something that made this place "pop" more. I walked by here 2-5 times looking for food and didn't realize it was there. I thought it was a bar.

I honestly wasn't sure what to expect at the Breakfast Club. I had a croissant with potato, eggs, bacon, and cheese along with crispy breakfast potatoes. It was delicious if not a little messy. The crispy potatoes were unique. The service was good. The Dainty Maid food court (for lack of a better term) is really neat and eclectic. On the downside, at least for me, is the lack of menus. Everything is done via your phone and a QR code. It might be more efficient but I guess I am getting old and prefer a menu in hand to look at.

I've been meaning to check this place out, and finally got the chance to do so. Located in downtown south bend, in the dainty maid food hall. You are able to order off of a QR code I loved the south of breakfast ramen, so I decided to try it and it was savory and delicious! Perfect during the lake effect snow that was happening! Definitely check this place out if you are in the area! Can't wait to go back

Great experience. Stumbled on it and was very impressed by the service, food and coffee. Had the manager come talk to us and check in it was a very enjoyable time. Thank you!!

Hard to find. No signage outside. Inside was cozy, but if it was busy I could see it being a scene! You order from several restaurants on a QR code at your table and then they bring you what you order. Best food hall experience. Not as many lines as usual. We really enjoyed our drinks. The breakfast ramen was sweet so it wasn't out favorite.

The vibe was great, and ordering by QR code with that little ding was surprisingly comforting. But the prices were bougie for two French toasts and drinks. The food was good.

Move out of downtown Mishawaka is better place that is where I go. Parking hard to find downtown.

We were doing some tourist stuff in South Bend and it was 10 in the morning and I asked Yelp to help me find something breakfast-y. Not super familiar with the area and although there were plenty of chains and local spots, this namesake was like a Gen X dog whistle! No time to do a deep dive... our group of 6 just went for it. What a surprise. The Breakfast Club shares the space with four other entities and comes with a healthy side of hipster vibe (I apologize, I'm probably using these words all wrong). The menu is very unique... some Asian fusion influences. You order from your device, but the waiters are friendly and totally gave us great recommendations. Menu prices seem average but I probably don't know the area all that much. I don't know if I'll be back out here again, so of course I have to try the breakfast ramen. I told my group I wasn't all that hungry, but I ended up finishing it. The ramen noodles itself was a bit softer than my impression of ramen. But it came with pork belly and baby bok choy and shitake mushrooms, and a sunny-side egg with a dash of furikake, I think. Also a dumpling, but the dumpling was only OK. The broth is good and everything blended in nicely and was very "scarfable". The pork was a touch sweet, but I reminded myself that this is a BREAKFAST ramen. Our group had a great experience and was so surprised by this seemingly random find.

My only regret is that I couldn't try more things from this menu! There are so many truly unique menu items, on each of the menus--one location, several different restaurants, each with their own online menu. Fortunately you can mix and match from the different menus, so I got a meal from this one and a drink from one of the others. The atmosphere is a bit more hipster than our group was used to, but friendly of course. Servers were helpful in explaining how to order.

Amazing breakfast lunch with a variety of options for everyone. Three of us had different French toast options (pictured is the fried fresh mozzarella toast). We all thought our dish was a fresh mix of creativity with the ingredients! Delicious! One of us had a a delicious burrito with just as much creativity! Three of us had a sugared espresso which was absolutely amazing. We also split monkey bread like muffins. These were pretty yummy as well. They have a variety croissants that looked delicious. Our service was outstanding! If you're looking for something fun and creative this is your place!

A perfect food experience. It is the best version of a food hall where there are sweet experts getting your dishes ready as quickly and as thoroughly as is possible. Just a great experience across the board. The environment is approachable and friendly. Clean and orderly. Every single thing we ordered (and there were a few dishes for the whole table) was amazing.

I'll absolutely be back. I had the lox on frankentoast and the soup Dumplings and they were BUSSIN'. There were several things on the menu that I can't wait to get the next time I'm there. The fact that so many things comes with hollandaise sauce is it for me. They know the way to my heart apparently, and it's with a weird egg cream

In town for a few days, checked yelp, the breakfast club had high reviews. We tried it out and it was 12 out of 10. Outstanding breakfast. I will definitely be back.

Order online with a QR code. Very long wait for microscopic food but it is a busy place. This particular item, soup dumplings, were pretty awful but the sauce they were in was good. Smells like mildew. Reminds me of many hipster places from where I moved in Tacoma. I didn't really get to check out many items on the menu but there is nothing to encourage me to ever return. The waiter that we interacted with was very nice.

Food is delicious. Was pleasantly surprised by the presentation and quality, also portion is very generous. Varied gluten free options. Server was friendly and attentive.

I thought I would try this place again. I love biscuits and gravy and saw they had it with chicken. I ordered it with a scrambled egg instead of a sunny side up and it came out. I tried it and thought the sausage grave tasted odd and the biscuit didn't looked fully cooked. The server asked how it was and I said I didn't care for it. So I tried the French toast which was huge and it was good but the middle of it looked not fully cooked either. I had bacon on the side and it was super flimsy bacon.

great food and coffee. menu selection is interesting with several unusual choices. free parking on the street.

First time here and wont be the last. This is a hidden gem. The food, beverages and staff will rival any breakfast brunch location anywhere in the U.S.

If I could give more stars I would. It was our first time here. We did br know what to expect but were pleasantly surprised by the friendly staff. There were very busy but we didn't wait too long for our order. The drinks took a bit of time but my Orange Mocha was worth the wait. Portion size was a lot! You will not leave hungry. My only complaint- orange was beautiful but very difficult to eat. A little pricey but I don't mind spending $ on a meal like this. The breakfast ramen was absolutely delicious!

Lots of interesting breakfast options to try. I ordered the savory pear Dutch baby. Flavors were very unique! Convenient seating in the Dainty Maid and easy to order from The Breakfast Club.

Food was not the best and the ordering on line was a hassle. We had the French toast and a regular breakfast and the bill was $48. Oh we did have 2 coffees. I don't like paying for the meal and tip before I eat. We won't return. The sausage patty was small and the muffin was saturated with butter before it arrived.

Not enjoyable dining experience having to log on to an internet menu, connect to wifi, then navigate multiple menus to order breakfast. Tip and pay before getting your food. Then food comes out at completely different times. It's a mix of different restaurants in one space so there's no one accountable person for your dining experience. It's a non-traditional restaurant experience, but traditional is experimentation that worked.

This place quickly shot up to my favorites! And I've only been once. It's a little disorienting cause it's 4 different suppliers and the door lists all of them. Once you're in and check the digital menu, it's the best experience. You need to scan a QR code to see the menu, and you order it. So make sure you have a debit card! The atmosphere was very nice. Very relaxed but also stylish. The food is fun, smart, and beautifully presented, we raved about it. I can't wait to go there again! The macaroons were divine, and I haven't even scratched the surface!

Pretty good - sit outside however because inside has musty/moldy odor??? Had special cortado Dutch baby pea Ncake mandarin muffin and Hong Kong French toast - will go back to try more! Not crazy about tipping BEFORE u get food but probably gonna affect severe negatively

The food is amazing! I want to come abck and try different things on the menu! A lovely spot for breakfast with streamlined service. I will definitely come again when I'm in town!!

My diet went out the window when I walked in. I had a hard time narrowing down what I wanted to eat there were so many great options. The service was phenomenal. We got to chat with one of the owners, and he was friendly, helpful, and is a genuinely nice person. I will definitely be back. I hope they are wildly successful, and cannot wait to go back and taste more.

Good food, good service, and dining with great friends. Life is good! Music playing softly in the background, we ordered breakfast for him and lunch for me. Very flavorful and delicious. Served hot. Server checked on us just the right amount of times so as not to be intrusive. Prices are in line with other restaurants. We will return.

If I could give 1/2 star I would. The order off an app for a large table concept is terrible. I didn't think a place could mess up breakfast till I came here. In the end a table of 3 cost over $60 for awful food and nothing to drink but tap water. Looks cool, but don't waste your time and money! It was so bad, i signed up for Yelp to leave this review....

We wanted to try somethings that are not your usual breakfast fair. We did, but the price points for some items seemed higher than one would expect. The service was good, friendly and able to answer questions. The ambiance was very diverse and had a nice art house feel. Once a year type of place for us.

We got lost trying to find a different restaurant for breakfast (thank you Apple Maps!). So we actually stumbled on this place by accident. And maaaaan, we are so happy we did! The atmosphere is awesome with the decor and music. The food seemed kind of pretentious to my "basic bitch" pallet (I do love me some pizza rolls! ). But my wife and I found some things to try and everything was amazing! I ordered an Iced Cortadito, it was incredible! And I usually hate anything with coffee! It was so good, I actually ordered one to go! My wife had "The Classic" breakfast platter and it was amazing! The potatoes were some of the best we ever had and very unlike anything you can find anywhere else! The biscuit was soft and delicious! Everything tastes like it was made with love! Oh yeah, we also had two of their macaroons. They were both great but the vanilla was definitely better than the fruity pebbles macaroon. Unfortunately we love 2.5 hours away and were only in town for the weekend. This will definitely be on our list to return to next time we're in South Bend!

The food is amazing! Very upscale and beautifully plated. The service was fast and very friendly staff! The ambiance is very laid back and perfect for this food hall. We are from Indianapolis and LOVED IT! Will definitely come back and we highly recommend the Breakfast Club!

I love The Breakfast Club so much. Their ramen is the stuff of brunch dreams, and I've enjoyed everything else I've had. The waffles are a delicious sugar bomb. They make the best breakfast sausage I think I've ever had. Their potatoes are funky. I also enjoy their breakfast sandwiches. You really can't go wrong here. Don't miss the soup dumplings.

Definitely not a place I'd give another shot. I'm not a huge fan of looking at menus on my phone, and now I've learned I'm not a fan at all of ordering on my phone, especially not a $50 brunch. You're expected to pay and tip before receiving the food, which being unsure what kind of service we were going to receive is difficult to do. The food was honestly just meh, I had the breakfast burger and left very unsatisfied, my partner had the chicken and gravy and while it looked awful he did say it probably was the best thing on the menu.

New favorite spot! The in-app ordering process is so efficient, service is quick and the food is incredible. If you haven't tried it, get over there!

The vibe is EVERYTHING!!! Service was a 10/10! The menu items are unique. I Salmon Lox + Brioche w/ an over medium egg. The low-fi instrumental music played while my taste buds lived in bliss. This spot is the one, Y'all!!

Excellent food, especially the breakfast ramen. No complaints there. However, it is far too loud. There's not much a restaurant can do about conversation noise, but they also play very loud music, which makes the issue worse. It is difficult to have conversations across the table, and even more so with staff. Also, their online ordering system seems buggy. The first time we were there, it refused to take my wife's credit card, and staff were unable to help. Personally, I don't care for restaurants asking customers to scan a QR code to get a menu. When I'm out with friends and loved ones, I would prefer everyone keeps their phones put away and focuses on enjoying the people they're with.

First I'd like to say the service was ok. The barista staff we encountered before the actual restaurants opened were not welcoming or forthcoming of any information about how the place worked even after we said we hadn't visited before. Once we came back and got an actual server to help us, she answered all my questions! Without her, we wouldn't have figured out how to eat here at all and probably would have left. The food was hit or miss. Came for the breakfast ramen cuz of its reviews but what I experienced was not good. We abandoned it and ordered other things. Orange mocha was great. French toast was dry. Soup dumplings were so fun but such a tiny portion. Two people walked out $70 later still hungry and not planning to return.

This place was a great find. My sisters and I were in town for the weekend and we ran upon this place. From the time we were greeted at the door it was a nice visit. Our waiter was great. He answered all of our questions and no matter what we asked he answered and knew the answer. Now onto the good food, everything we tried we definitely enjoyed. We enjoyed the atmosphere as we ordered additional drinks and ran our mouths for a great while. I highly recommend this place. You won't be disappointed.

Loved everything. The food was unique and a such a great concept. We will definitely be back.

We walked in here kind of on accident and it was a very happy accident! The staff was super friendly and kind as they explained the unique concept of the restaurant. It seemed a little confusing but was very easy once you got going. I had some of the best breakfast food I've ever eaten when I got my chicken, biscuit, and gravy. It was amazing and I'll try my best to replicate it at home. If you are in the area I strongly recommend giving this place a shot!!!

The presentation of the food is remarkable. I had the smoked salmon on bread with a side of eggs and crispy potato's. Tasted very good.

This new pop up at the Dainty Maid is bringing a truly original lineup to a South Bend food scene that is in dire need of something it's own. We moved to SB from Nashville TN and have been having a pretty hard time. We had breakfast at the Breakfast Club and truly wanted to cry. It was the first time we felt inspired again by food and outside of Roselily have been in a sad food drought. Fingers crossed this beautiful pop up continues to have success and it can inspire more culinary growth in SB.

Excellent food and service! Great ambiance! Great variety of food and drink. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic food and service. Everyone was super nice and the food was great. Some of the best gravy I've ever had and fried chicken was delicious! Can't wait to come back

The staff here are fantastic and friendly. The food is delicious and creative! They did a wonderful job honoring Dainty Maid while breathing new life into the building! Bravo!

Excellent food and environment. They have the best staff and service in town and they also have a quick and easy ordering and checkout process. The breakfast sandwich, shrimp toast, and french toast are great with lots of other options.

Incredibile place and excellent food. 5 of us went for bunch and ordered 5 different things. They were all delicious, great service and great coffee. We are so glad this place opened!

i uh, best ramen i've ever had. the pork and shiitake mushrooms had me stunned. self-ordering services and friendly staff with plenty of options for food. it had a quite relaxing atmosphere even when it was packed, though that may have been me enamored with the pork...
