Reviewers largely like The Breakfast as a simple way to meet new people outside dating apps, especially for conversation and creative connections. Several say they have used it for months or years and met interesting people, with one user even saying it led to a project co-founder. The most specific praise is for its matching algorithm, particularly the ability to look broadly or more deeply for like-minded people. The main criticism is limited local reach: one reviewer had only one meetup after filtering and felt the subscription was too expensive for a small pool.
