First time vist this place. We loved this restaurant. The food was amazing. We got lemon ricotta pancakes and country skillet. Pancakes were delicious taste, definitely recommend! Also county skillet was really good as well. I would order them again. Oh if you like mimosa. Try the mimosa flight. Sooooo good!! Our server, Samantha, was even more amazing!! She was incredibly attentive, friendly, knowledgeable. Definitely, recommend this place for nice breakfast. read more

Broken Yolk Cafe - Lemon Ricotta Pancakes, Country Skillet, Mimosa Flight - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Fullerton, California

Sam and staff were wonderful! Food and service are always on point, and the wait is usually reasonable.

​I visited for the first time on a weekday, and honestly, it was just average. One major piece of strategy: they don't take reservations, but using the Yelp Waitlist is a absolute must because it was incredibly busy even for a Tuesday. ​The service was fine, but it was clear the servers had too many tables assigned to them. Everyone seemed a bit frantic and behind, which definitely impacted the flow. The food itself was fairly standard but felt expensive for what it was. Between the price point and the rushed atmosphere, it didn't feel like a great value. I probably wouldn't come back to this location. read more

We came to again and had such a great experience! Our server, Asuncion, gave some of the best service I've ever had. He was super friendly, attentive, and on top of everything -- he refilled our waters the second they got low and checked in just the right amount. Our food was delicious! We ordered the Monte Cristo, Sweet Trio, and the Chilaquiles, and everything came out hot and fresh. The portions were generous and full of flavor -- definitely comfort food done right. It's rare to find such kind service paired with consistently good food, but Broken Yolk Café delivered. We'll definitely be back again ! read more

From the moment we walked in, we knew we were in for a great meal. I ordered a bowl of chilaquiles with half red and half green sauce, and my wife went with the Ranchero Skillet. Both dishes were fantastic--the red salsa had the perfect level of heat, just spicy enough to wake up the flavors without overpowering them. The chilaquiles toasted with a comforting crunch, the toppings were fresh, and the sauce--bright, tangy, and deeply flavorful--made each bite a delight. A big shoutout to Brittany, our server. She was incredible: never letting our water glasses run dry and keeping our coffee topped up without us having to ask, all while being attentive and friendly. It made the whole experience feel easy and relaxed, like we were dining with a great friend who just happens to be a superb server. If you're craving delicious Mexican-inspired breakfast or brunch in a warm, welcoming atmosphere, Broken Yolk is a standout. We left fully satisfied, with smiles on our faces and plans to return soon. Would highly recommend asking for Brittany if you're seated in her section. She kept our dining experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. Five stars all around! read more

Definitely one of the better American diners out there! I was with a party of 6 and it was a Monday morning at 10AM. My party was greeted right at the door and escorted to a table immediately. We were served by Brittany. She is amazing at her job! Some of my party has not been to a Broken Yolk before and she eagerly helped us navigate the menu, even giving us recommendations, and generously giving tips to substitute ingredients for my friend with dietary restrictions. She was super detailed oriented and thorough when taking our orders. All the food came out warm, yummy, and in a timely manner. Brittany regularly checked up on us before and after the food had come out, making sure to refill our waters and clean up any plates that were finished. Thanks to Brittany my friends and I had a really warm and welcoming experience at this Broken Yolk! read more

Decided to come here for breakfast to catch up with an old friend. I ordered the "choose two" option for the benedicts. I'm the kind of person that likes to try various things on a menu so I appreciated the chance to pick two different kinds of benedicts on the list (although so many more sounded so good as well!). The first one I decided on was the golden state benedict which is described as a "toasted English muffin topped with grilled tomato, avocado, applewood-smoked bacon, poached eggs, hollandaise sauce, and a sriracha drizzle." Let me tell you, it was absolutely delicious! I wish I had more than one of them. It was so rich and flavorful. The other benedict I chose was the sope benedict. I love sopes and thought this combo was creative. It was delicious as well but I did enjoy the other one more. It came with a lot of toppings and the shredded beef was flavorful. I chose hashbrowns as the side and they were the perfect addition to my breakfast. read more

This place is so f'n dirty! Stinks, & got gnats flying around. My man & I first time here & def our last. The moment we walked in something told me to walk back out, but since we been wanting to try Broken we decided to stay. BIG mistake. Our server was the worst. She was very attentive & rushy when it came to taking our order. After that, she was nowhere to be found. She didn't even get our simple order correct. Both our plates came out completely wrong! But we didn't wanna complain. We didn't finish our plates, it was disgusting. We paid our bill, LEFT NO TIP & bounced. This place is no more than a Dennys quality. Only difference is that Broken serves alcohol. Other than that, it's very Dennys. There's so many better places that serve bottomless mimosas, with amazing breakfast. My man & I just like to try out different brunch spots, & Broken def ain't it! Don't support CHAINS! Noted. read more

What great service today by Sam my coffee was always full and hot she checked on us regularly and made great suggestions the kids also enjoyed there meal Which is a plus will definitely be back read more

The Broken Yolk is a great cafe with some trendy food. I saw the chef come around making sure everyone enjoyed their meal which I thought was a great personal touch. Personally, I think you have to order their more special entrees or bigger entres to really get your money's worth and the experience. I wasn't feeling that hungry when I went with my group and just opted for the eggs and toast for $12. It was not worth it and I could have made it at home. If you're not going to eat that much, just order two sides (eggs and toast for $7) instead which is what my friend did. I rate it 4 stars because everyone else's food looked really good and they really did try to provide a good service for us. They're also open really early in the morning! We were there at like 7 AM. read more

Broad menu with pancakes, French toast, omelette, eggs Benedict, sandwiches, Mexican breakfast dishes, and more. + MOM Omelette ($15.95): with side fruit and toasted, buttered English muffin, removed mushrooms.

We came here before going to La Palma park. I ordered the very berry salad with large serving of chicken, strawberries, blueberries, sliced almonds, and goat cheese with raspberry vinaigrette dressing. Sounds delicious, doesn't it?? Much of the chicken was burned and black. It tasted awful. The fruits, cheese, and dressing was very good. The lettuce was weird and every bite was bitter. I left all of the lettuce over. So I ate the fruit, almond slices and a a little of the chicken. I hate when I have to pay for "food " I can't eat. Don't order this. One star for fruit and one star for waitress. read more

We went here on Friday morning. We had Sam as our server. She was super attentive and very honest with her recommendation. She was also very considerate about giving us time and anything we may have needed while we were dining. Super sweet she was amazing Service The location in itself had a lot of natural lighting and was kept very clean. Seats were standard and pretty comfortable. It looks like a well maintained location Location The food is standard what you would expect from a breakfast joint. I got the country fried steak and it was good. It was a tiny bit bland but nothing that couldn't be fixed with salt and pepper. My boyfriend got the New York steak and eggs. The steak was soft however it was cooked too well done even though he ordered it medium rare. Hashbrowns were all right, and the eggs were standard. We also got an order of linked sausages as well as the Nutella crêpes. The sausages were very different from other breakfast joints. The casing was very thick. The Nutella crêpes were fine. The crêpe itself was a little on the thicker side. Food .5- 4 read more

First time dinning at Broken Yolk and we are very happy with the service! Brittany was very attentive to our needs. She never failed to check up on us..

Decided we wanted to try another breakfast/brunch spot than the one we always go to in the OC and happened to stumble upon Broken Yolk Cafe. So glad that we did because we enjoyed our meal and will definitely be coming back. The wait wasn't too long thankfully. Once we were seated our server greeted us almost immediately and got our drink orders in and came back not long after to take our food order in. I ordered a skillet. I can't remember which one, but it was really good. The portion size was perfect for my big appetite. I ordered a coffee as well with my breakfast, and our server or some of the other wait staff would always refill my coffee so I was never low on that. Another thing that I liked was that they had a pretty nice kids menu with lots of options to choose from so even the pickiest eater can be accommodated to. The inside of the restaurant is plenty big with lots of seating. Will definitely be coming back to try their other stuff on the menu. read more

Stopped into The Broken Yolk Café for breakfast today and decided to try the Golden State Eggs Benedict. The place itself has a bright, clean, and welcoming vibe--brick walls, warm wood floors, and pops of teal upholstery give it a modern coffeehouse feel. It's super easy to find, right off the freeway, making it a convenient stop whether you're local or just passing through. The menu is bigger than expected, with plenty of options that lean classic but comforting--everything you'd want in a breakfast or brunch spot. Prices run between $13 and $19, which feels a little high for a coffee shop, but not out of line if the food delivers. And I gotta say... it did. The Golden State Benedict looked fantastic when it arrived. A solid twist on the classic, stacked with creamy avocado, crisp bacon (not too soft, not too crispy--just right), and topped with a rich hollandaise that had a surprising amount of flavor. The drizzle of Sriracha added a spicy little kick that brought it all to life, and the English muffin underneath was perfectly toasted. The side of hash browns was crispy and golden, though they could've used just a little more seasoning. Only real downside? The temperature of the food. It came out somewhere between warm and cool, like it may have sat under the heat lamp just a bit too long before being brought out. Not a dealbreaker, but definitely noticeable. Still, the service was super friendly--everyone there reminded me of my old waiter days at Coco's back in the '80s (don't wanna age myself too much, but it brought back good memories). They were warm, helpful, and really made the place feel like a local favorite. Overall? A really solid breakfast with a few quirks, but I left happy and full. Would definitely come back to try something else off that big ol' menu. read more

The vegan omelette is delicious and perfect for a brunch quantity. We always have brunch dates at this place and it's always warm comforting with amazing service.

BEWARE! TLDR: This place has bad food and bad service. We went for brunch on Friday morning and while we have previously enjoyed the food here, each time we've come it gets worse, and this time will be our last time giving them our money. Our waitress was horrible - she didn't greet us for about 10 minutes. I would mention her name, but she never introduced herself or wore a name tag. Then when she took our order, she acting very distracted and it wasn't a huge shock that our food came out poorly. My bacon and sausage (that I requested be cooked well done) was raw, the bread for my French toast tasted old, my dining partner's steak (ordered medium well) came out overcooked and shriveled into a tiny piece of unappetizing meat. We would have loved to give them a chance to correct it, but our waitress never came to ask how our food was or even looked at us again until she dropped the check. Zero eye contact, made to feel like an afterthought, AND the food was both wrong and cooked poorly = we won't be coming back. If we're spending $60 on brunch, it's not beyond reasonable expectations to have the food come out the way we ordered it and to be treated like valued customers. This place has jumped the shark - overhyped, overpriced, and awful service. We'll spend our money elsewhere. read more

Came to Broken Yolk Cafe yesterday and had the Sweet Trio with eggs and sausage--everything was really good and hit the spot. Sam was our waitress and she was on top of it the whole time.

The hostess were excellent and very friendly.. food was great and tasty.. very happy will come back again..

Not great. Service was ok. Our waitress checked on us but that was about it. My sister liked her food, mine was ok, but my mom's had to be taken back. I ordered the greek avocado toast. It was fine, more than I expected in quantity. My mom ordered the regular avocado toast. It was small with barely any avocado and it had egg shells in it. She bit into one on accident and had to search the rest for more, finding other pieces. This place is a typical modern diner. Nothing special. Who knows maybe you will have better luck. read more

I go to Bikram Yoga next door and always wondered why this place was packed all the time. I finally stopped by after one of my workouts--and now I get it. The environment is amazing. From the host to our extremely friendly server Sam (who kept our coffee topped off the entire time), everyone made us feel taken care of. I also loved that Oscar was walking around checking in to make sure everything was running smoothly. I'm definitely coming back.

Sitting in an unassuming building, and no pretension to be found. This place emphasizes what's on the plate, and it shows. We have never found this place to be without clientele but have never once had to wait for a table. This place runs like a Swiss watch. The dining room is large and open, but the noise level never seemed to high. The place has people from all walks of life. New families, babies, toddlers, kids, old families, grandparents. Everything. It would also be good for a ladies brunch given the portions and the mimosas. Also present was 20-30 something men clearly eating during their lunch break. They know where the good eats are. Nick was great. Attentive, quick with a smile, knowledgeable. Never did our water get empty and the coffee just kept arriving without us asking. He clearly loves his job, and we love how he does it. The food is, of course, top notch. The restaurant may not look like a place that would nail French crepes and fancy omelets, as well as it does churro French toast, but it does. It also nails the coffee. Cold brew with vanilla creamer is my jam. My wife got the no name omelette. This is a greatest hits omelette. Bacon, mushroom, cheese, and tomato in abundance are stuffed into a soft pillowy egg blanket. Avocado and a sauce on top elevate it to the extreme. The sweet trio.... Well, I'd come back just for this. Churro French toast and the cinnamon cake might seem like they'd be pretty similar, but we're both quite distinct. Both delicious. The tiki French toast is like taking a bite of our most recent Hawaiian vacation. The pineapple and coconut come through clean without being overpowering. All the flavors jive with the berries and sauce they put on it. Neither my wife nor I could pick a favorite of the trio. All for a price that seems more than fair. Generous even. read more

Finally got to try this place and it blew me away! Food: I ordered the El Fuego Omelet with Corn Tortillas and WOW! I am not exaggerating when I say this, this was the best omelette I've had in my life. I wrapped the omelet slices into the tortilla and ate it like a taco, and it is seriously so good! My wife has the Sope Benedict and it also was delicious, great flavor and texture! Drinks: I had their grapefruit juice and my wife ordered the pomegranate juice, both tasted great! Server: Our server was Brittany (short hair) and she was wonderful! Put a smile on our sleepy faces and helped us thoroughly throughout our dining experience! It's not a close walk from our house but worth the drive to eat breakfast/brunch! Hooked to this spot! read more

We were in Anaheim for the same reason everyone goes to Anaheim and had a day free so decided to try out a breakfast spot. Broken Yolk wasn't too far from our hotel and seemed like it'd be a great experience and it was for the most part. Staff is friendly and very welcoming as is the environment and atmosphere. However, the food wasn't what we expected. The portions are great and they do a Mickey pancake for kids, which is fantastic but the food was missing flavor. Some of our dishes were bland and the best tasting thing I had was a blueberry muffin. Maybe our palates were overstimulated at Disney but we were unimpressed and slightly disappointed. read more

Have to be honest, we'd tried the one in Orange a couple years ago and were disappointed. Decided to give it another try in Fullerton. What a wonderful experience. Our server had great suggestions since there are so many wonderful choices in the menu. Food arrived quickly and was very tasty. We returned a week later and our server Crystal was very helpful as well. Makes us believe everyone is trained to give a wonderful experience and let's face it the taste has to be there and they get 100% read more

We visited the Broken Yolk Cafe for the first time and the food was delicious and the service was great for such a busy place. Thankfully they have a live Yelp wait list as there was a 42 to 57 minute wait when we were looking to go around 11am on a Sunday morning. I joined the wait list as party #34 and when we moved to to #15 we started the 12 minute drive over. Our table was ready two minutes after we arrived, what great timing. We were quickly seated in a booth and our server was quick to take our drink orders and returned shortly for our food order. When I was looking at the menu from home, as soon as I saw the lemon ricotta pancakes there was no reason to look any further. Although while looking at the physical menu in the restaurant, I saw it was only $1.50 more to upsize to the large stack which was a no brainer. The pancakes were light and fluffy and had a nice light lemony flavor and definitely lived up to my expectations. It's always good to have some protein with breakfast so I also ordered a side of bacon crispy. It could have been more crispy but no complaints. My girlfriend had the churro french toast and she mentioned that it was very good and just the right serving size. The Cali breakfast burrito was also enjoyed. It is a little loud inside but that's to be expected as the place was packed and there were still ten or more people waiting outside when we left. Definitely make use of that Yelp wait list! There are several big screen TVs in the back if you want to watch a game. We sat towards the back of the restaurant and I was seated facing the kitchen and it was fun to watch all the good looking dishes and yummy looking drinks coming out non-stop. Karla was a great server and all of the servers were working their tails off. The menu is extensive and we will definitely come here again. read more

Decently priced and good portion size for brunch food. Got the chicken fried steak which is not bad. It wasn't tough and chewy, and the flavor wasn't amazing or anything. It was still slightly crispy even with gravy on top. The wait can get long so def recommend hopping on the waitlist if close enough. read more
