Now, there is no need to worry about waking up early to have your favorite breakfast treat because the Early Bird Breakfast Club serves any time of the day, becoming the ultimate go-to place for morning meal lovers.
The moment you enter the Instagram-worthy restaurant, there is no doubt that they will serve you nothing but good food. Early Bird Breakfast Club gives a homey ambiance, with the large windows giving a natural lighting right into the restaurant, the rustic furniture, and the doodle-painted walls that had quotes like, “Beautiful breakfast, morning, noon, & night.” The restaurant will have you taking pictures in every corner.
Expect them to serve just about everything you crave for, but with their own special twist: from famous Filipino breakfast meals such as Adobo Sunrise, Viva Longganisa, Tenderloin Tapa, to Signature pancakes, French toast, and many more.

I was lucky enough to be one of the Deal Grocer members that has been given a good deal of a special handpicked Breakfast Special for two; a three-course meal at a rate of P695 (originally P1,160.) Sulit na sulit!
The three-course meal includes the famed Yin and Yang Champorado made with Belgian dark and white chocolate served with a crunchy side of dilis. As the restaurant stated in their walls, they take pride in their beautifully plated meals, but I think the most eye-catching of all their plating is the champorado. Belonging to the sweet side of the breakfast meal, this one is made for all chocolate lovers like myself.
Next on the course is the Fried Chicken and Breakfast Waffle – the new addition to the breakfast dishes. It is a generous portion of chicken, fried to a golden crisp on top of two pancake and potato waffles. It is served with gravy and syrup on the side, making it the perfect balance of savory and sweet. This dish alone could satisfy your tummy.
Last on the course is the Chorizo and Mushroom Risotto served with crispy Parmigiano Reggiano. It is personally my favorite among the three courses because of the creaminess of the risotto and the combo of chopped slices of chorizo and mushroom. I recommend this meal to anyone who wants to tickle their taste buds and try something new.
Of course, a visit to Early Bird Breakfast Club would not be complete without the Piece de resistance, namely, the ButterbeerTM. Trust me when I say that this is the closest taste to the real thing the Wizarding World of Harry Potter in Japan had to offer (I had three mugs in one day.) Many Potterheads like myself had been hunting down the best spin-off drinks of the butterbeer for years, but when I tasted Early Bird’s drink, I knew it was the one. The sweetness of the whipped cream, topped with marshmallows and caramelized sugar compliment the vanilla soda, making it a to-die-for drink. Potterhead’s honor
