    The inedible "pumpkin" pancakes
    Simon S.

    Looking for a great breakfast in the IV is like looking for the fountain of youth! After reviewing several possibilities I decided on the Broken Yolk simply because it was pet friendly. The place wasn't busy and was seated in the outside patio that turned out to be infested with several mosquito gangs that were relentless and annoying. The waitress came by quickly and took my drink order and gave me a bit of time to decide on my order. The menu has an insurmountable amount of items that even Chef Ramsey would have cried over. I decided on the mom omelette and a side of pumpkin spice pancakes. As I waited for my order I did enjoy the coffee that was the highlight of the meal. My order arrived and they looked like there was enough food on my plates to feed the entire valley. As I started my meal adventure it became apparent to me that I had chosen the wrong pill and would have to live in this nightmare for the next 20 or 30 minutes. I basically had to pick away at the only salvageable part of the meal which was the egg. Even the has browns were soggy and tasteless. The veggie interior was overwhelming and off putting! But there was one last hope in my side order of pumpkin pancakes. They were the size of the salton sea and tasted about as salty as the salton sea. They were uncooked and the pumpkin was no where to be found. After a couple of attempts trying to find a cooked piece I had to do a Linda Blair and spit out the hellish pieces onto my plate. It became apparently obvious to me that the Broken Yolk is about as broken as Humpty Dumpty and this place cannot be put back together! Disappointment is the only thing on this menu that is done right at this place! Do yourself a favor and just drive to Yuma or San Diego next time you wake up hungry. Or simply go next door to Dunkin Donuts.

    Someone needs to give our waitress a raise. We completely forgot her name but she was amazing. She checked up on us soapy times despite it being busy. And the fact that she brought everything for four people with missing a single thing is just perfection in my book. Restaurant was very clean, comparable to the other chains.

    Eggs. Perfect for me!

    I popped in on a rando Monday, and the wait was like 20mins, pro tip use the "join waitlist" on this app, make your life better. The restaurant was warm, clean, the food was good and the service solid. I went in when I was super hungry. The item that jumped off the menu and on to my plate was the short stack cinni-stack combo. I ordered my eggs scrambled, and "not super dry be definitely not wet", totally woshwashy, but they came out perfectly amazing!!!! The sweetness of the pancakes was a good combo with the bacon and eggs. My waitress was a pro at keeping the coffee coming and making sure I had everything I needed. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for a good breakfast:)

    The Broken Yolk is a solid American diner in Imperial Valley. They have an extensive variety of breakfast and lunch options, ranging from omelettes, benedicts, pancakes, toasts, sandwiches and burgers. The wait staff here are extremely friendly. I am a huge fan of their Tiki toast, Wild West burger and Hawaiian fried chicken burger!

    Mediocre food and Arnold Palmers that cost almost $6. Service is Valley du jour. Skip it and cook at home.

    Sorry no pictures but i can surely attest that the Spicy…read moretuna panini was delicious and I wish I didn't go halvers with my husband this day The girls in the restaurant can use a bit more of a welcoming feel and it felt like I was bothering one of them when I asked for hot sauce and she said "the tuna panini is spicy already " I said I know I'd like a packet of any of hot sauce please . Make sure you ask for all the things you need to at the window because everything is inside napkins , utensils extra sauces otherwise young ladies there are annoyed with you at the window. I felt like apologizing to them for their - inconvenience -when I was the customer . Maybe a better method for this maybe they are overwhelmed due to running from window to drive through . Other than my overseen inconveniences to others / which are minor but important details as a customer it's really a great spot . Try it out you won't be disappointed There are two tables outside but more of a drive thru than sit down . I also grabbed a strawberry match that was pretty tasty and hubby grabbed a craft energy with guava which was so refreshing .

    Very cute small coffee shop in el centro! Decided to stop by for some coffee before a long drive…read moreback home and this was the perfect spot. They conveniently have a drive thru, so that's a plus. They also have a walk up window, but maybe a table or two outside. There's no indoor area so this isnt really a place to sit and enjoy your coffee. The staff was really nice and even gave us some recommendations. We got a couple of lattes and they were really good! Since they make the espresso fresh, the iced coffee wasn't ice cold but I didnt mind that too much. I will definitely continue to stop by this place whenever im in town!
