The Breakfast Club


Adam and I ventured over the river to Allston for breakfast at a diner appropriately named, "Breakfast Club." (It's also around the corner from that leafy b-school across the river.) They don't serve sushi for lunch, but they do offer a slew of "library specials" inspired by the characters from the movie:

The Dork: two eggs any style with home fries and toast
The Princess: a Belgian waffle topped with fresh fruit and whipped cream
The Jock: scrambled egg-white omelet with veggies and wheat toast
Detention: two eggs any style with steak tips, served with home fries and toast.
The Criminal: two eggs, seasoned home fries and toast, with a choice of ham, bacon, sausage or corned beef hash

I was tempted by the Princess waffle, but I ordered the "Gucci" omelet instead, spinach, feta, Cheddar and bacon. Though the cheese to omelet ratio was too high for my taste, I did enjoy the combination. Homefries were pleasantly ungreasy. Adam enjoyed his pancakes and his sausage links came nicely browned. Prices were affordable and the coffee is bottomless.
