Fiesta Burrito
Elizabeth A.

We went on a busy Saturday, for brunch. We added ourselves to the waitlist only minutes before arriving. But, amazingly we're seated quickly. Our server came over, who was SPECTACULAR (I wish I could remember her name. She was an older woman). Very knowledgeable able the new addition to their menu, Smaller-Side. I ordered from that. Definitely not too much smaller than a full portion, but whatever. Obviously decor was typical of any chain dining establishment. We will be back, simply because the staff have been cool and the food is always yum for us.

Chorizo omelette
Danielle G.

Looks like it's been 8 years since I last reviewed Broken Yolk! Time for another one! Came in super early today on a Sunday and had a great experience! My server Thomas was super on top of it and friendly! The food was delicious! I had the "mom" omelette with green peppers, red peppers, mushrooms, spinach and avocado! The eggs and vegetables were cooked perfectly! Had the hash browns ant tortilla to make it compete. Add my cup of coffee and it was an excellent breakfast!

Smaller plate for brunch of their famous Chilaquiles

Always an extremely good and affordable place to eat I would not recommend the coffee only because it taste like instant coffee but other than that everything else in the venue is always phenomenal

Brunch!
James K.

We love coming here. Always greeted with a smile! It's not knock your socks off food but it's consistent and it is good. I got the meat lovers omelette today which was delicious. Has to make a couple adjustments to the sides and Thomas our server was extremely helpful. He's awesome and was perfectly attentive to our table. It was busy but the noise level isn't overbearing or anything. Still quiet enough to have a low volume convo. Until next time

This is my daughter's favorite breakfast place.She loves the Nutella crepes and I love the avocado tomato eggs Benedict. Everyone is always very nice. We've gone Christmas morning, a few other times, and most recently on Father's Day. Love it :)

Ordered the border Benedict with "Carne Asada" and received a Benedict with ground beef. I still ate it but why would you blatantly lie about the meat you're giving out.

Green chilaquiles
Estefany G.

Food is so good, service is great & efficient! Will be in & out in an hour. As a Mexican I will say I like their American breakfast better than their Mexican food. I got the green chilaquiles once but ever since have chosen pancake/ french toast breakfast options instead. Also their açaí bowls are amazing!

Fiesta burrito was huge and all good
Lala O.

Sweet trio was soooo goood! Its like give me 10of those meme hhehehehhe. Its a chefs kiss!!! The burritos okay but the chilaquiles bowl also hit thr spot!!! And the service was fast and very accommodating. Will def gon come back

Tiki Toast

First time at this location. Server was pretty terrible unfortunately. We sat there for a good while before we even got our food ordered. Once our food was delivered by another staff member, our server never even came by to check if everything was going well. He came by to neighboring tables multiple times but still never checked in with us. We asked for some coffee and as he was filling my cup he ran out so my cup was less than half full. He'll come back with a full pot of coffee to refill, right? Nope. Had to ask another server for more coffee. Pretty disappointed in this visit. Might give it another shot in the future but we'll see.

The Mom Omelet with blueberry muffin and hash browns
Anna C.

Huge portions. Friendly staff. Lively breakfast/brunch crowd. My go-to meal is the Mom Omelet (no spinach or mushrooms - too watery), with hash browns and a blueberry muffin. Their hash browns are the only way I like hash browns -- non-mushed together shreds of potato and perfectly crispy. It can be a short wait on the weekends. Check on the Yelp waitlist before you come!

Side of Cinnamon Roll Pancakes - 7/10
Maureen J.

Accommodated our large walk-in group of 13 for our niece's birthday celebration. Wait time was around 45 minutes on a busy Sunday. Everyone was happy with their meals. It was a decent brunch place with friendly, accommodating workers! They don't do birthday stuff but we told our server and he came out with a little cupcake for the birthday girl, which was really nice!

Oceanside is a part of my childhood, how could I miss it? Especially since the bites are awe-inspiring. Lemon pancakes are the moment, they're slightly zesty and mildly sweet. Perfect for sunny days and oh-so-photogenic. If you're a scrambles and omelette boy like me, you have another reason to love this place. I highly recommend the coffee and small treats too. Drinks are refillable and seating is readily available. Both indoor and outdoor spaces are accessible. Ordering is done at the counter, you'll be given a number to post at your table once you complete your transaction. Overall, the service is excellent. We only had one weird experience with a tall girly who had major attitude problems. I recently brought my parents for their anniversary and we had a pleasant time.

It's a great spot to meet up with friends or bring my mom when she arrives at the Oside train station from Grover Beach. It's a wonderful place to grab a flavored latte, seasonal drink, a glass of wine and a lunch bite, or all of the above! I also look forward to wandering through their gift area every time, where they stock unique jewelry, candles, fragrance rollerballs and 'clean' nail polish, plants and pots, kids' merchandise, t-shirts, and other cute stuff. I always buy something extra (and special) when I come. Their coffee bar is open, as is the general space, and there is plenty of seating outside in front and in back. You can watch the baristas make your drink and peep the beautiful Italian espresso machine and lovely bouquet of dried flowers by the bar while doing so. They bring their food out to you and when your espresso drink is ready they set it on the bar for you to pick up. Definitely a place to hang vs. grabbing a quick drink and rushing off about your day. I always want to stay and catch up with friends or bring my laptop to do some work, and they never make me feel rushed. Truly one of my favorite coffee shops in North County and in SD in general. (There is another high quality coffee shop in Oceanside that has incredible coffee and pastries--I won't mention the name--but I sometimes sense an attitude from the staff there, and that is a bit of a turnoff.) Go to Communal...you will not regret it!

Would be a great place to stop on your way to a birthday party to pick up a gift. I got the gluten free bagel with cream cheese and an oat milk chai latte, both were fantastic! Dare I say my favorite chai latte I've had in Oceanside so far!? The people behind the counter and who run the food were really nice and helpful. Overall, it's a little pricey as I paid around $17 for bagel and chai but both tasted worth it and I'll for sure be back to order the same thing again!

You can sit outside and have the ocean view with a breeze right across the street. The parking is easy in the lot behind it. Otherwise, on the narrow streets parking can be challenging. My favorite burrito so far has been the vegan one with rice! The lattes here are pretty good too. Usually, restaurants have good food, but mediocre coffee. This place has both good food and coffee. I especially like their Cubano espresso! Service is friendly and fast! My dog loves it here too! If you're looking for a simple coffee and burrito- this is the place! Love it!

This restaurant is located inside The Seabird Hotel. We had breakfast here around 9am on a Monday…read moreand the only tables available were outside. It was a little chilly but that's fine. Our servers name was Monse I believe and she was excellent. We had mimosas, an americano, lobster thermidor with cheese grits, and the steak and eggs. Out of the two entrees my favorite was the lobster thermidor which was an egg scramble with chunks of lobster and cheese. The cheesy grits were also delicious. The steak was overcooked so it wasn't doing it for me. Overall I'd say the food is pretty good for being a hotel restaurant I would dine again. The only thing with sitting outside is we saw the occasional transient person threatening patrons. We all just ignored them but it would be nice if they had a little more privacy on the patio from the street.

What's left are a few à la carte selections that were more expensive and not prepared as well as they were when we went previously, which was a couple years ago. What's super annoying is that the menu change still isn't reflected online, so we had no idea until we sat down. The avocado toast was burnt, potatoes were flavorless and unevenly cooked, and the "poached" eggs were hard in the middle. Prices are higher, service is slow, and overall it just feels like a place that exists now purely to gouge tourists in Oceanside. We won't be going back.
