"They were five strangers, with nothing in common, meeting for the first time: a brain, a beauty, a jock, a rebel, and a recluse. Before the day was over, they broke the rules, bared their souls, and touched each other in a way they never dreamed possible"
The Breakfast Club: Seriously, there'd be few 20-30 year olds who've never twisted some Ringwald ringlets, flexed some Estevez charm or quipped some acid-tongued Judd Nelson insults to some poor math professor after seeing this coming-of-age epic. This film fully the ‘era defining' tag, it birthed the Bratpack people!
In an ardent display of homage this spanking new Northcote cafe has taken ‘theme' and written it all over its replica, school-sized blackboard. Offerings like the Sheedy toast, the Ringwald melt and the Emilio-omelette (sadly there's no mention of Judd, maybe that's coming - a ‘Full Nelson' brekky may haps?) abound. Add some great coffee, the most impressive souvenir spoon collection you've seen outside your nana's and some snazzy salt and pepper shakers and you've got pure, simple indulgence.
And there's nary a teacher in sight. Though, even if there were, we couldn't think of a better place to have a weekend detention, can you?
