    Chilaquiles Bowl with asada
    Michelle G.

    Went on Mother's Day, so it was a very busy day. Service was okay overall, but the servers took a long time to check on us throughout the meal. The food was okay, but definitely not what I expected for the price we paid. The Nutella crepes had almost no flavor -- there was only a small drizzle of Nutella on top and very little inside. The matcha latte was okay, but I've had much better elsewhere. The chilaquiles barely had any sauce, and the asada looked more like ground beef. Overall, the food and experience did not live up to the hype or the price.

    Can't go wrong with a good brunch spot! They have a large variety of brunch options from eggs Benedict, classic breakfast, pancakes, to lunch options such as burgers, salads, and soups. They also have a wide drink offering from coffee selections, smoothies, to of course mimosa flights! I got the golden state Benedict which was my favorite combination of bacon, avocado, tomato, and poached egg. I did ask for the sriracha on the side so I can control how much I get in each bite & it was delicious! They offer both indoor and outdoor seating. Overall, large clean open space with a modern feel to it. Our server was friendly and the service was fairly quick despite it being packed when I went. There is parking in front of the restaurant but it can get filled up really quickly during peak brunch hours!

    Came here on a Saturday morning at 11am. The parking lot is pretty tight and hard to find parking. We ended up parking elsewhere and walked. We were able to add ourselves on the Yelp Waitlist so that was helpful! Food and service were good. The Machaca was pretty good and the breakfast trio I tried came with a tiki toast, French toast, and cinnamon pancake. Yum!

    Classic Eggs Benedict & Golden State Benedict

    As soon as I walked in the door I was greeted, taken to a table, my drink order was taken and immediately delivered. My server, Gabriel was very busy yet came right away, introduced himself and welcomed me. It's a nice place, clean and looking at the counter everyone had a smile while working together. You're able to mix the eggs Benedict so I ordered the Classic which was okay, my eggs were a little undercooked but the hollandaise was pretty good. The Golden State was my favorite with that touch of sriracha and the egg cooked perfectly. In season fruit was sweet and I was checked on regularly. The price was not bad at all for what I experienced. This was a far better experience from what I had at the Palm Springs establishment so I was pretty pleased.

    This is the best Broken Yolk Cafe I've been to. My lady friend and I were very happy with our food and service. Megan really took care of us. Seh was so nice. She was eager to answer any questions we may have. We both loved our food too.

    Megan E.

    Great and popular breakfast spot. Cute diner vibes. An extensive menu of scrambles, omelets, toasts, burgers, and yogurts. I got the meat skillet and loved it! The server Megan was very kind and accommodating.

    Breakfast Time!

    First time at that location. The inside is nice. The environment was very nice. The staff is nice and polite. The food was good loved my mocha cold coffee. I ordered the green chilaquiles with asada and sunny side up eggs. Delicious, I did have to ask for extra green sauce. My son ordered the breakfast croissant with fries. The only bad part was the parking.

    Thomas S.

    Excellent service at this place! Megan our server was so attentive and nice. Our food was really good as well- I got the machacas and it was so good. Very crowded so make reservations!

    Good Morning Burger
    Ayden P.

    What I Ordered Golden State Benedict ($17.95) Sweet Trio ($17.45) Good Morning Burger ($16.95) Strawberry & Banana Smoothie ($9.25) Blueberry & Banana Smoothie ($9.25) Food: Broken Yolk Cafe is one of my favorite brunch spots in all of Orange County. I loved the Golden State Benedict, which came with grilled tomato, avocado, bacon, poached eggs, on an English muffin with hollandaise sauce and sriracha. Every bite was full of flavor thanks to the creamy and savory hollandaise sauce. All of the fresh ingredients matched well with the applewood-smoked bacon that was thick and juicy. The Sweet Trio lets you try a slice of each of their most popular toasts: Tiki Toast, Crunchy French Toast, and Cinna-Cake. All of these are very sweet, but also great brunch/dessert foods! My favorite was the Good Morning Burger, which came 1/2 lb beef, sunny side up eggs, bacon, cheese and more. The quality of the beef was absolutely incredible, and it paired very well with the bacon and eggs. It was as if breakfast and lunch had a perfect dab with each other. Staff: All of he staff members were quick and friendly. Ambiance: Huge indoor seating area along with a few seats outside. The parking lot is a bit small, but there is a plaza with a bigger lot across the street.

    Chilaquiles Bowl French toast
    Pawan S.

    Overall this place is always good but not amazing. I've been a few times, their service is nice and the food comes out relatively quick. The food was a solid 8/10. I think next time I will go I will try something more sweet and maybe I will like that more. But would definitely recommend but maybe don't go on a weekend because I heard the waits times get really long.

    Mimosa Flight, Nutella Crepe, Ranchero Skillet, American Breakfast
    Julie V.

    Looking for a new brunch spot in OC? Broken Yolk Cafe has several locations, and we checked out the Buena Park one. It's spacious, and we were surprised that there was little to no wait for brunch on a Saturday. Their menu has the classics, from breakfast to brunch and lunch. We ordered the mimosa flight (strong!), iced coffee, an American breakfast, the ranchero skillet, and Nutella crepes. The skillets are a must-try. The ranchero skillet was packed with fried potatoes, chorizo, and cheese. If you're into hearty, savory brunch, this one delivers. Shoutout to our waitress, Mariela, who was incredibly kind and sweet! She made the whole experience even better. The entire staff was friendly and welcoming.

    Huevos Rancheros
    Selina T.

    Chris was an awesome server , very informative and kind throughout our visit! The food was just okay overall. The crepes could've used more Nutella since they were a bit on the dry side, and the French toast tasted slightly salty. The rancheros were decent, but I wasn't a huge fan of the rice. That said, it was still a nice outing for my family and me. The Messy Caramel drink was great too, although the outside of the cup was definitely a little messy.

    Hawaiian Bread French Toast
    Russ L.

    Met a friend from out of town brunch. This is my first time here. Very busy location since its across Knotts Berry Farm. I highly recommend to getting on the waitlist online especially on weekends. Service was a bit all over the place, it didn't bother us that much though. We understand its the holiday weekend. Food though was on point. The lattes and coffee are very strong. The Hawaiian Bread French Toast was a guilty pleasure and the Golden State Eggs Benedict was perfect. The experience was good, not amazing but I still would like to try and come back at another location, preferably near my home.

    Can we bring a cake for a birthday celebration?

    I would be a bit surprised if you could, it doesn't seem to be that type of place. However, if you call ahead and ask I'm sure they might allow it.

    Do you have bottomless mimosas?

    Hi Jenevie, We do not offer bottomless mimosas, but check out our amazing mimosa flight and Bloody Mary flight!

    Coke or Pepsi?

    Hi Jon, We carry Pepsi products.

    Do they take reservations?

    Is this location dog friendly? like their other locations?

    I called the restaurant to ask if I could bring my large dog, and the host who replied said their patio is dog friendly.

I sat at the one available table and savored both items. The Biscoff latte was iced, with just enough ice to make it cold. I appreciate that they didn't overdo the ice like most coffee places. The flavor of cookie butter was vivid, sweet, and delicious. The cream top and crumbles of Biscoff added to the visual appeal. The lemon bar was slightly sweet and citrusy, with a tasty thin outer crust, the top of which was sprinkled with powdered sugar. For me, this was a perfect lemon bar in every way. If I lived anywhere near here, this would be a regular stop.

Service was really good. The place inside is cute with a clean, minimal vibe. There are small white tables lined along the wall with a bench and stools and some simple decor and artwork that gives it a cozy feel. It's not very big, but there were still plenty of open tables which was nice. Everything was clean and parking was easy since it's in a shopping center. I'm looking forward to trying more next time. Deff a decent spot if you're in the area and want something simple and low key.

We gave Coffee & a try, the coffee was excellent and provided just the right caffeine boost we needed. I ordered the Cold Brew Latte, which featured New Orleans cold brew concentrate. I swapped out the agave syrup for honey and chose almond milk for my drink, which cost $6.80. The caffeine hit was perfect, and I really enjoyed the flavor. Next time, I might opt for less milk or just stick with the cold brew and honey for a bolder taste. My friend chose the Brown Sugar Oat Shaken, a delightful mix of double shot espresso, brown sugar, vanilla syrup, shaken with oat milk (iced only), also priced at $6.80. She loved her drink and said it would be her go to choice for future visits. Overall, Coffee & is a fantastic spot for a caffeine fix.

Unfortunately, that turned into over an hour--with no updates from staff during that time. What made it worse was that we only found out after we had already paid that the kitchen was backed up. That's something customers deserve to know upfront so they can decide whether they're willing to wait. We were also there with a baby who needed to go down for a nap, which made the long, unexpected delay even more difficult. On top of that, they had already run out of matcha and the menu was extremely limited, which was disappointing considering that's one of the main draws of a place like this. Overall, poor communication and lack of transparency really ruined the experience. I understand delays happen, but being upfront and managing expectations would have made a huge difference. Extremely disappointed. We went to this place a long time ago when they first opened and remembered them having a more extensive menu and it being far better. Sad to see that this place has gone downhill. My family and I will definitely not be coming back again.
