The Breakfast Club
The Club Cafe Chelmsford
Welcome to The Club Cafe.
A modern British caf for everyone.
A new cafe concept in Chelmsford for Summer 2025 from The Breakfast Club. Built around the idea of great food, great drinks, and everyday good value. It’s our take on the classic British caf, brought up to date with a menu that offers more variety, more choice, more lunch and prices that make sense.
It’s warm, welcoming, and packed with personality – the same spirit that’s always been at the heart of what we do, just with a new name above the door.
We are a caf...
Not a cafe, not a shop, not a branch, not a unit, not a restaurant. Just a caf.
There was also a time they called us a hipster hangout but thankfully that was just a passing phase. We don’t profess to being cool, because we’re not.
We make comfort food.
We make warm fuzzy feeling in the pit of your stomach food. We make ‘is my gran in your kitchen?’ food. We make ‘3 star ethically sourced good for the planet’ food.
Everyone is welcome. Me, your mum, my grandad, your uncle Albert, little Jonnie and all our best pals. Everyone is welcome.
At one point we tried to save the world with varying degrees of success. But we’ll leave that to Greta as we feel she’s doing a much better job. We’ll stick to being a caf and supporting our local communities.
Release your inner cafness.
At The Club Cafe, you’ll find all the best-selling dishes from The Breakfast Club – from pancakes to fry-ups, avo toast to hash browns, marvellous muffins to Eggs Benedict – but everything is £9 & under.
And we’ve gone even further with The £7 Club – a tight little menu of proper full plate, hot lunchtime meals, priced to give your lunchtime sandwich a run for its money.
One thing we’re really proud of on the menu is The Spud Club – our love letter to the great British jacket potato. 20 years ago The Breakfast Club opened with Jackets at the heart of its menu (the previous owners of the Caf we moved into in Soho left a Jacket potato oven) We’re bringing them back for our 20th anniversary. But with some ooomph. Crispy skins, fluffy middles, and a line-up of classic toppings – comfort food at its best. Classic caf dish, modern makeover.
