Broken Yolk Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chula Vista, California

A friend of mine wanted to meet here for lunch one day and we agreed upon this location in Eastlake. As soon as I arrived, she wasn't there yet so the lady offered to see me. I opted to wait for her to arrive and so when when she got there, we were seated immediately in a booth for two. Our server was a nice guy who is always here. He asked us what we wanted to drink and we both opted for Matcha drinks. She tried the new pineapple, coconut milk, Matcha cold drink, and I had a Matcha latte. Once our drinks came out, we went ahead and ordered our food. I got the country fried steak with hashbrowns and scrambled eggs. My friend got the regular steak and eggs with House potatoes. Our food was ready in about 12 minutes and we both enjoyed it. This location is consistently good, and there are never really any surprises. Again, I appreciate a very reliable, consistent, and delicious dining experience. Broken Yolk Eastlake always delivers a great experience for me. read more

It's a rainy and chilly day in San Diego and decided to eat out. Our go to for breakfast is Broken Yolk Cafe the Eastlake Pkwy in Chula Vista, CA. The restaurant is always clean, service is always excellent with great team work because everyone is always helping each other out cleaning the tables and offering refills of fresh coffee.. 5/5 stars! I often order the steak and eggs breakfast with homemade biscuit and rate my steak 4/5 stars. I wished my steak was more tender. I love the t-shirts the staff wears: "Life Begins After Breakfast!" "Peace, Love, Breakfast!" "We've Got Huevos" translation: "We've Got Eggs," or "We've Got Balls!" Lol Check it out! Happy Yelping :) read more

The service was good but the cost was too much for the small amount of food I got. $26 for mediocre food? No thanks. I was out of town visiting friends so I had no other choice. read more

A well-oiled machine! This store was popping this morning (Veteran's Day), but the crew worked well to keep the line flowing. Upon entry, our waiter, Fernando, greeted us in Tagalog. He is Latino and really impressed us with his knowledge of Tagalog and his friendly, upbeat sense of humor. read more

Rude hostess. Was told 30 minute wait and ended up taking 50 minutes. Several people were called who apparently reserved online and their places were held for 15 minutes or more before showing up while live customers in person have to continue to wait. They lost a loyal customer today. read more

Sebastian was an amazing server! Very attentive, good came out fast, great customer service. He went above and beyond, thank you! We'll definitely be back :) read more

Choosing the name when starting a business is a huge deal, "Broken Yolk Cafe" always was going to be the perfect name for a breakfast place. I've never been to one despite living here for 25+ years now, and always wanted to. Today, a Sunday, I dropped my daughter off for something nearby, and swung by during a lull in reservations, immediately getting a spot on the patio - sheer luck. It's a very nice spot, near a lot of other services and businesses but in a really nice strip mall, etc. I actually didn't see the inside. Rudy (very nice guy) took my order and I crap you not, I had my food in less than two minutes, AND, somehow, the eggs were cold. I don't even want to speculate about how you'd pull something like that off, but there you have it. I wasn't too impressed with the food quality itself, the eggs were just fine, they were eggs and I salted and peppered them to perfection. That didn't help them not be cold. The hash browns were very good. The biscuit, as well as a la carte gravy, were fine. It doesn't stack up to the biscuits and gravy I've had at more I guess, legitimate spots, as I'm guessing something like the chilaquiles wouldn't if I had tried those. I originally wanted to, but was real with myself. Um, overall, I guess it's great they have the name going for them? I would probably go 3.5 if it was possible to do that, or even just agree with the 3.7 presently indicated by the masses, a lot of that thanks to Rudy. read more

Had a brekky date. Great way to end a stark January and leap into the month of luv with luv. The place was buzzing and the staff were patient and awesome. Our brekky turned into a brunch. We both ordered the vegetarian omelets. Mine had bell pepper, Avocado, mushroom, spinach, onion, sour cream and salsa. It came with 4 buttered slices of bread and I went with the hash browns with a dreamsicle. Loved starting my day this way. Great company and conversation. Good food and excellent staff.

Each Broken Yolk is different and unique. Our experience was very good. I had the Berry Yogurt Parfait. There were lots of fresh berries along with yogurt that was also good. My husband had the Make Your Own Omelette. He chose some vegetables and cheese. His toast could have been a bit more well done. Our server was terrific and kept checking in to see if we had what we needed. The coffee was ever flowing. It is a bright restaurant with very clean restrooms. If in the area, we would definitely go back. read more

The broken Yolk is a classic and I love going! This is my first time visiting the one in Eastlake. The service is really good, the manager was very attentive and nice! The hostess wasn't too friendly, but the servers were on point! The food came really fast! And it was good but honestly I remember the food being better. This time wasn't too good. The drinks are really good, I order the mimosa flight and was really good! But the drinks were definitely sour! read more

Took my family there for breakfast we sat down pretty quickly. Our server was fantastic always checked in on us. My wife ordered a French toast with strawberries. What we got was maybe 1 tablespoon of strawberries on four slices of French toast so we had to ask for more toppings like butter French toast was delicious. I had chicken fried steak with scrambled eggs, chicken fried steak was bland and needed more seasoning the eggs were overcooked. Besides the excellent service, the breakfast was just ordinary. read more

I had a great visit here recently. Our server Fernando was very attentive and welcoming. Broken Yolk has a huge menu so it took us awhile to decide what to get.

Big shout out to Fernando, he's great with all the guests, super friendly, and even speaks Tagalog. read more

2 stars because my latte was good and our waiter was amazing. Other than that it was pretty mid and not worth the price. Presentation is a big part of a meal and the plates came out a mess and the food was cold. Bummed because I have been wanting to try this spot for a while. read more

I appreciate and respect the family environment more than anything else. Because this is a restaurant, I should speak to the food and service. After 10 years in the area, I haven't found a better connection with any other establishment. You won't be disappointed, and if you are for any reason, I'm certain they will make it better for you at any cost. Well managed business, and the consistent service reflects. read more

Long wait for average food at elevated prices. Took long time to get the bill after finishing breakfast.

Had breakfast with my husband and our 3 yr old grandson. We had a great time and really enjoyed our food. Everything was so delicious and looked so yummy that I totally forgot to take pictures before we started eating, so excuse the 1/2 eaten dish, lol. One thing that we really liked was that the server Miguel was very attentive,friendly and interactive with us. He also made sure that my grandsons food came out really quick and first. That was amazing because he was able to start eating right away and not start running a muck. This was a great experience and Miguel was a great part of it. read more

Broken Yolk Cafe - The pancakes are delicious. Nice and fluffy. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Chula Vista, California

First the service was great even though it was busy. We went for a late breakfast on a Saturday. The food was just ok. We ordered the no name omelette and eggs Benedict two ways, fried Chechen and chipotle bacon. The hash browns tasted like the griddle- only way I can explain it - and the eggs in the eggs Benedict was not runny the way you expect. The omelette was good but Ive had a few from IHOP that were better. The blueberry muffin was great! I will go again and try other dishes hopefully with a better result. No one wants to pay $50 for great service and a great muffin. Eating outside in the covered patio was also nice. read more

I have been to a couple locations before. This location is located in the town center of Eastlake. Parking isn't too bad as it is a shared lot with multiple businesses. We were seated on the outside patio. Very spacious. I didn't see the inside at all. They had some heaters located above the tables. It was still kinda chilly though. Service was ok. Since we were seated outside there was one server for the whole area. Food was good. They were able to customize my chia to pumpkin spice which was very nice of them. I went with the usual French toast. Side of bacon. Overall good experience. read more

I've been wanting to check out Broken Yolk for the longest time - since I've moved down to San Diego, actually, as my previous living place had a location right across the street of me. It was finally the time to try it out when my boyfriend and I made our way down south for a small pop up event that was around the area. The location that we went to is located next to a dental group and Sprouts Farmers Market in the Village Walk at Eastlake in Eastlake. There's a huge parking lot with ample stalls, however, can be impossible to get a spot during the weekends around the late morning/noon lunch rush hour as people were lining up and waiting on the side for others to leave. By 1:30-2pm, there were a lot of open stalls. I saw that they had a holiday Snickerdoodle Latte which I wanted to try with my brunch. I asked for less sweet and my first initiative sip was VERY sweet. But once mixed it (whoops), it was not sweet at all. It was rather good but I didn't taste much of the cinnamon. It did taste different from a regular latte. I got their Ranchero Skillet with a side of flour tortilla, and I was very unimpressed and quite disappointed at this dish. The entire dish lacked in flavor. The potatoes and eggs were very bland. Even the spicy chorizo (which almost tastes like corn beef has but shouldn't be??) wasn't as flavorful to elevate the dish. I added hot sauce and black pepper, and they still didn't help with the flavor profile. Where was the ranchero sauce?? Thankfully my boyfriend liked it and ate it up. I thought it was kind of weird how we had a side of flour tortilla when there was so much potatoes in it... (read the next paragraph). My boyfriend got their Border Benedict which was so much better than my dish. The green sauce (poblano sauce) was so so good. The carne asada was also cooked very well where they weren't dry. Yum! However, the hash browns were a disappointment. They were soggy, limpy hash browns that looked very sad (peep at pic). Our server was very nice and would check up on us from time to time even though it seemed as if she was one of maybe two servers on the floor on a busy brunch/lunch time. The one thing I didn't appreciate was the fact that she made it sound as if our side of flour tortilla was a part of the dish rather than an add on that was an additional cost. When we got the bill, we were kind of confused by the additional charge until she told us it was because of the flour tortilla. Wot. Whatever, this is a good lesson for next time to ask. Overall, the service and ambiance for the restaurant was good but the quality of the food was lacking in my opinion. I would give this chain another try as they have an extensive menu of different entrees to choose from. read more

Miguel our server was very kind and welcoming! Our food tasted great and over all great experience

The service is great and food is delicious. I would recommend and have recommended to friends and family

Prices are too high and the breakfast food isn't worth the cost. Honestly, just go out and buy/ cook your own eggs, bacon, hash browns, sausage, and pancakes. You'll save a decent amount although it'll take some time AND you'll have plenty of ingredients left to make it again. The staff are friendly, the location is nice and the ambiance is pleasant. read more

Had a small wait when we arrived, but the service was fast once we seated. Food came great and they checked on how we were doing many times. Overall it's always a great breakfast. read more

If you ever find yourself at Broken Yolk and you're lucky enough to be in Miguel's section--congratulations, you've hit the jackpot. Miguel was an absolute gem! He took care of our large (and slightly chaotic) party like a total pro. Drinks stayed full, food came out hot, and somehow he kept a smile on his face the whole time--even when we started playing musical chairs and asking for "just one more thing" for the third time. He was kind, helpful, and super entertaining--honestly, Miguel could probably host his own comedy brunch show. Thank you, Miguel, for making our meal so fun and effortless. You're a real one! Broken Yolk, give this man a raise! read more

This place is situated in a great location you can eat, shop at Trader Joe's, sprouts, five below and even get your eyebrows done. With that being said it is a busy plaza but patience will help find you a parking spot. Not sure why this location has so little stars. The wait on a Friday was about 5 minutes. It's a small location but the waiters were very attentive, well spoken and refilled my coffee. The hostess even brought me a side of salsa that was delicious. The lemon ricotta half stack pancakes were huge I only finished one. read more

Our server Miguel B. Was Awesome! We went with a party of 7 on a crazy busy rainy Saturday and he was the friendliest and calm and got everything our picky group asked for and answered all our questions in such a positive manner. He bade the experience pleasant! He recommended food items which were a hit! I hadn't been here in years and I will for sure be back soon! Go to the website and get on that waiting list! Parking was a hot mess but since we were already in the waiting list we weren't stressed. Lots of variety. Ask for Miguel! read more

I ordered a Lemon Ricotta pancake, I felt disappointed because I was served with a regular pancakes with a slice of lemon and fine white sugar spread on top of the pancake. I was under the impression that the pancakes have ricotta, but they didn't have. Didn't taste the ricotta at all. My granddaughter liked her Kiddie chocolate chip pancake. And I could tell my son didn't like the waffle he ordered because he had more leftover than what he ate. Nevertheless, the only thing I liked about when we were here, our Server was very attentive, and very polite. She was always asking us if everything is okay. I was about to complain about the pancake, but I just let it slide. I just hope they check the detailed description of the Lemon Ricotta pancake, and make sure it has the flavor of ricotta in it. read more

We have been coming to Pacific Beach and/or Chula Vista locations for over 10 years for special breakfasts. Food is always delicious but understandably not cheap. They always have good quality and large servings. Pro-tip: the senior and early bird menus. We got two huge pancakes, 2 eggs, 2 bacon for $10.95 (before 9:30)! Totally worth getting up earlier. Always great service too. read more

The food was ok. The orange was the worst I ever had. I think it's overpriced for the quality of the food.

I've been to a Broken Yolk before and my experience was not good. The only reason we chose to eat here was because Denny's wait was too long. This location, however, has redeemed the brand and I will definitely visit again. The service was better than excellent. Very attentive, polite and prompt. The food even tasted better than my previous visit. I had the Meat Lovers Omelette and it was delicious. Thanks to the excellent service from this location, Broken Yolk is back on our restaurant list. read more

We visited Broken Yolk Cafe this Sunday at 10:00 am and were seated immediately, which was a pleasant start. Our server, Joanna, impressed us with her professionalism and patience, especially considering we had a few modifications to our order. The patio seating was a bonus as it's dog-friendly, and the area was kept clean and tidy.My Meat Lovers Omelette, priced at $19.35, tasted good but the meat was mostly just packed inside the eggs, rather than blended throughout the omelette. For my sides, I chose hashbrowns and tortillas, which were perfect. My fiancé opted for the Sweet Trio ($23.40) and an orange juice ($5.95). The juice, unfortunately, was not fresh-squeezed and didn't justify its price as it came from a gallon. However the cinna-cake was the perfect treat to satisfy our sweet tooth! You need to be patient with parking since the cafe is located in a busy plaza, so it took some time to find a spot. While Broken Yolk Cafe is a great place for a quick, hassle-free brunch, especially if you're dining with your dog, it might not dazzle you if you're looking for something extraordinary. It's a solid choice for a casual meal with a variety of options though, and we'd consider stopping by again. read more
