Reviewers see The Breakfast as a thoughtful alternative to dating apps, built for real conversations and new connections. Users repeatedly praise the concept and say they have met interesting, even important, people through it, with one longtime user highlighting a flexible matching algorithm and saying it led to finding a project co-founder. The main drawback is scale and cost: at least one reviewer found the local pool too limited after filtering and felt the subscription was too expensive for the number of actual meetups.
