breakfast club

Early meal group

A breakfast club is an informal group that meets regularly for morning meals, often with shared professional or social interests.

In schools, breakfast clubs provide early meals and supervision before classes begin.

The term gained cultural resonance from the 1985 film depicting teenagers bonding during Saturday detention: We met through a breakfast club for local entrepreneurs.
