No sugar of course because a) teeth and b) sugar desecrates the original taste of coffee (and tea for that matter). The flat white meanwhile, was pleasantly strong, as is the way I like my coffee. My British passport makes it compulsory for me to scoff at anything remotely American in nature, but I give Americans credit for two things: giant gourmet burgers, and adding pancakes and maple syrup to the traditional breakfast. When combined with the pancakes, the syrup took dominance, and with the vegetarian sausage and the roast potatoes, the syrup enhanced the existing flavours whilst it’s own sharp sweetness blended in. It was thin in consistency with the sharp sweetness you’d expect. But I’d definitely opt for either poached or fried eggs here.The homemade roast potatoes were also pleasant, with a fairly thick consistency within and a firm, slightly crispy outer skin which was well seasoned.The maple syrup of course, had to be poured over the entire ensemble. Nonetheless, they were rather moist and pleasant with a strong savoury flavour. I’m very much used to sweet scrambled eggs, so for me it was more or less an odd omelette without the cheese or the peppers. The scrambled eggs here are served savoury, which was a little odd for me. Luckily there were only a few of these parts. It was however, rather rubbery and sour in certain parts, (perhaps due to a slightly excessive use of vinegar in an attempt to keep the egg whites coagulated), which was not pleasant. The eggs, when poached, were seasoned well with salt and black pepper, with a soft, liquid yolk centre (no sh** Sherlock, it’s a bloody egg). Bless vegetarians, they do try hard in their attempt to recreate meat textures. The vegetarian sausage meanwhile consisted of a very crispy skin with a dense vegetarian patty within, which had a soft texture that remotely resembled chicken-mince. The American pancakes were soft and rather dense, and soaked up the syrup very well. The Veggie All-American consists of a vegetarian sausage, american style pancakes, mushrooms, homemade potatoes and two eggs cooked to your preference, all served with a tin pot of maple syrup. I’ve been here on three occasions and have sampled two orders of their “Veggie All-American” breakfast, their “Reggie The Veggie”, and their flat white. None of the meat here is halal unfortunately, but there are a few non-meat and vegetarian options on the menu. A desire for somewhere fairly local in Spitalfields and the fact we were too underdressed for Duck and Waffle or Eastway led us to the slightly obvious choice of The Breakfast Club.

Blue Eyes and President Clinton (my gym partners) looked over and uttered the words “Breakfast?”.

Strength training done, I stepped towards the treadmill area with the good intention of finishing off with some cardio.
