    Chicken & Waffle Benedict with hash browns!
    Helen N.

    I've never really gone out for brunch, so this place was such a delight for my first time! The wait was 20-35 minutes, but we definitely waited only like 10 minutes for our table. So expect to enter in a waitlist because it gets crowded! The food was amazing! Absolute 10/10! I got the hash skillet which was a much larger portion than I thought I was going to get. Soft potatoes with gooey cheese, bacon bits, green onions and scrambled eggs (but you can get the eggs however you like them!). Every bite was delicious! I even tried my sister's and my best friend's chicken and waffles, which I will definitely get next time. The chicken was crispy and the waffles are so nice and fluffy. It's also amazing paired with their syrup that they have on the side. For my drink, I got their messy caramel latte and it is packed with caramel drizzle and whipped cream, with a nice coffee flavor. The overall ambiance is very nice, definitely what you expect from a busy cafe. And our server was great too! Definitely a recommendation for a weekend brunch!

    strawberry nutella crepe

    I came here on a weekend and it was packed as expected! It's a huge cafe with so many tables and gives diner vibes. I got the choose two benedicts and got the border benedict and sope benedict. The border benedict came with a sweet corn base that added a nice flair. The carne asada and the sauce really pulled everything together and it was delicious! The sope benedict was also very flavorful, and they were very generous with the beef barbacoa and avocado. I also really enjoyed their pico de gallo, which was very refreshing and contrasted nicely from the savory barbacoa. Both benedicts' eggs were perfectly runny and I loved that I was able to try both for an extra few dollars! I took off a few stars because the service was overall just so slow that it took away from our dining experience. It took long for us to get seated, even longer for our server to take our order, and EVEN LONGER to get our food, and for that alone I probably wouldn't come back.

    Classic Eggs Benedict
    Alex C.

    Had a great breakfast at the Broken Yolk Cafe. You know when they do coffee right, it can't go wrong. I ordered the Classic Eggs Benedict with hash browns, and my friend Joe had the American Breakfast with English muffin and bacon. Our server was friendly and checked on our coffee regularly. They were quite busy for a Sunday morning and we had a little wait. I'm glad we tried this place out. Very reasonable prices and good portions. I was satiated and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. I have to give special kudos for the hash browns. I know they must not be too healthy because they were so delicious. I normally don't finish my potatoes but this was exceptional. They had many tables and the parking was shared with a nearby strip mall. It had a nice diner feel to it and there were many locals eating here.

    The Mom Omelet

    What's not to like about this place? This is the second time that I have visited this place. The first time was a year ago, after going to Disneyland. This time I'm here again after visiting Disneyland. Is it becoming a trend? Well, this time we lyfted here from our hotel across from Disneyland, a quick ten minutes, and we arrived. It wasn't too busy, and we were seated right away. Our server (Alicia) was dropping off drinks and said she would be right back. She came back with a huge smile on her face, introduced herself to us, and took our drink order--coffee and water for me. She quickly returned and asked if we were ready to order. We were not ready to order yet, since the menu was so big and everything looked so good. We finally ordered, I got the Southern Biscuit and Gravy with French Fries My wife ordered the CA Omelette. In no time at all our food had arrived. The biscuits were light and fluffy, the gravy was perfect with enough sausage in it to fill you up. French fries were golden brown and hot. I finished my plate, cleaning every crumb off of it. What a great breakfast, and my new go to when I'm in town at Disneyland

    Strawberry Banana Smoothie
    Meleia O.

    Came back again with my husband and seriously I can't wait to try their whole menu. Their smoothies are AMAZING. Highly recommend getting the strawberry banana smoothie. Both the tuna melt and lemon ricotta pancakes were great, but dang their onion rings and fries are just as good and compliment the main dishes well. Service is always exceptional and even when they're busy, the ambiance is always welcoming. Can't wait to come back!

    This place is so busy but luckily we beat the crowd. They have a big menu with many omelette options. Service is great. My soup-salad-sandwich combo is decent. Don't really like the tortilla soup - not much in it. The soup is overpowered by huge tortilla strips. The tuna sandwich and Caesar's salad are both decent. BF had the Mom Omelette. It looks so colorful, tastes good, and feels healthy from all the veggies. Iced Spanish Latte is good. Wish they had more seasonal coffees.

    I've been here at least 50 times and I genuinely don't get some of these 1 star reviews. The place is clean, the food is good, and the service is always on point. What I have seen is some customers being rude and shitty towards servers. At some point you have to wonder: are you reviewing the restaurant, or the consequences of your own attitude? Also, it's brunch. On a weekend. There's going to be a wait. Use the waitlist and let's all act surprised together.

    Tropical mimosa flight at Broken Yolk Cafe  Light, fruity, and the cutest brunch sip!
    Megan Y.

    Broken Yolk Cafe was sooo good for brunch The food was delicious and totally worth the 45 minute Sunday wait. I loved my meal and the mimosa flight was fun. They mostly have wine based drinks just so you know. It's more of a come hungry and enjoy great food vibe than a dress up cocktail brunch spot but I would definitely go back. Plus the prices were really reasonable.

    Chocolate chip pancakes
    Havanah Q.

    The wait wasn't too bad. We waited about an hour. Our servers name was Sam. She was nice and attentive, but towards the end, she never came to our table. We asked her to bring us a bag so we could take our food to go, but she never showed up. That was unfortunate, but we just ended up getting one from someone else. Also, when she was ordering our food, she didn't tell us half of the stuff we were getting was an up charge until we got the receipt. But the food was good and the food came out fast.

    Sope Benedict
    Gladys P.

    I keep telling myself I'm going to get something other than an eggs benedict and then I order the same thing. This time I switched it up and selected the "Choose Two" with a golden state and a sope benedict with fruit. Loved it! My niece got the sope benedict with hash browns. Really can't go wrong here, everything tastes good (from what people tell me!) okay next time I'll try something different!

    Chicken & Waffle Benedict
    Alyanna S.

    This is my go to brunch place that I will always introduce people too! Even though they're super popular, they thankfully have a waitlist that you can join online so you don't have to stand around at the restaurant. Nick was our server and he was funny and friendly. My aunt also noted that he didn't write any of our orders down, so he's got a great memory! I ordered the Pucker Up Lemonade and the Chicken and Waffle Benedict. The drink was fantastic, the alcohol was blended so well that it really tasted like lemonade but was strong enough that I definitely felt it. For my main dish, the chicken was a great crispiness and the eggs were delicious. But I did find that the waffle was a little bit too sweet and clashed with the salty foods. Maybe they make this one kind of waffle that they also use for their sweet dishes, so it's easier to assemble different orders. But I do wish my waffle was a little more neutral in the flavor. Otherwise I had a great time and I'm sure I'll be back someday to introduce this gem of a place to someone else!

    Chilaquiles
    Naty R.

    I eat a little bit of spiciness, but the chilaquiles were a little too spicy for me. The server did tell me the red ones were spicy after I asked, so I went with green ones hoping they'd be fine but I couldn't finish them. Thats on me though, just sharing details in case it helps. I joined the waitlist when we were on our way to the restaurant. We had to check-in upon arrival and there was still a little bit of a wait before we got seated.

For example, the cottage cut (seven ounces) costs $39 instead of $59 on Wednesdays. Despite the pricy menu items, the food quality, service, and ambience make for an excellent opportunity to celebrate a special occasion. Firstly, we ordered the seaside sampler for four as an appetizer. This included Chesapeake Bay-style crab cakes, chilled Mexican prawns, and ahi sashimi. I enjoyed the ahi sashimi the most as the large and fresh slices had a nice sear with a savory seasoning on the edges. The crab cakes tasted great and filling with a dill horseradish aioli as the menu listed. While I didn't try the prawns, my mom enjoyed those the most as they had a slightly sweet flavor. I did enjoy the cocktail sauce. Secondly, I ordered the cottage cut, which included seven ounces of roasted prime rib, creamed corn au gratin, creamed spinach, and a Yorkshire popover. The cut tasted lovely at medium rare as it had a soft texture and good balance of meat and fat. I appreciated that my mom got an especially thick cut of prime rib. Seven ounces feels just right for me given that the entree includes other sides. The creamed corn au gratin tasted a little sweet without an overwhelming flavor. I liked how the creamed spinach had a similar taste. A Yorkshire popover has an airy texture with a buttery and eggy taste. Au jus and horseradish butter elevated the prime rib. Thirdly, we had an English trifle for dessert. The menu says that the trifle consists of cake layers soaked with rum and brandy, including English custard, strawberries, Chantilly cream, and caramelized sliced almonds. It had a uniquely sweet flavor due to the soaking, and the almonds provided some crunch. I found the dessert tasty. I found the staff polite, friendly, and professional. Our server disclosed the discounts on their prime rib cuts and listed their prices. She also mentioned other featured entrees in detail. The staff also consistently refilled my water glass. We also had the opportunity to ask another staff member for olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette for our baked bread. He came back and made a little small talk, fondly reminiscing how his former restaurant would serve the same sauces with their bread. My mom also got a birthday card with a printed message and signatures from the staff. The restaurant provided a simply elegant ambience. While entering the indoor seating area, we passed an exhibition kitchen and table displaying various desserts. Customers generally wore semi-formal clothing, and the restaurant recommends business-casual attire. A pianist played various songs and tunes to make for a fancy yet calm atmosphere. I especially enjoyed how the pianist played "Clair de lune." It felt nice to experience a rare moment of hearing classical music played inside a restaurant.

For ambiance alone, few places compare. But the food hasn't kept up, and after several recent visits I can't ignore it. We love fresh seafood and there's none on the menu. The risotto is overwhelmed by pesto, the salmon is poorly prepared, and the entrées taste intense and over-processed rather than fresh. What's most frustrating is that the menu never changes -- it's been the same for years. We keep coming for the room and leaving disappointed by the plate. I hope they refresh the menu with fresh, simply-prepared dishes, because the setting deserves food to match. Until then, I'd come for a drink and the view more than the meal.

We went early for happy hour, I got an old fashion and my wife got "danger is my middle name", same cocktails we got last time but were war too sweet. We were disappointed in these drinks, they were much better last time. Our bartender Jose was very personable but needs to be better. The table next to us ordered a Rombauer Chardonnay, got the wrong white wine, shows he wasn't paying attention. We started with a Caesar salad, a tad over dressed, too much dressing but we really enjoyed it. I had the whole snapper which was excellent, my wife got the shrimp tacos, she didn't enjoy that, it was over spiced, too hot and not mentioned on the menu ingredients. So many dishes on the menu were spicy, a lot for the small menu. I suggest management add indicators which dishes are spicy. Some were hits, some were misses but overall a disappointing experience
