    Came here for the first time and the wait was about 30 minutes to get a table. Once we got a table, we were given menus and our drink order was taken pretty quickly. Our food came pretty quickly after ordering that, too. The food was very good and so was the seasonal coffee I ordered. I would come back. :) definitely a loud environment, though, not a quiet breakfast place.

    Super friendly. Immediately greeted. I had the Ranchero Skillet. It was amazingly delicious. Will definitely be coming back soon.

    Broken Yolk is a popular spot for Sunday morning breakfast, and it definitely gets busy. The check-in process is convenient, you can check in and they'll text you when your table is ready, which makes the wait easier. Service was good, and the portions were generous and satisfying. Overall, a solid brunch spot, especially if you don't mind a little wait on the weekend.

    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.

    $25 for a Steak + 2 Eggs + Potatoes & a Pancake WOW! ZATS CRAZY DEAL. For the value of the steak and egg combo alone it's a 5 stars. My wife got the Sopes and as you can tell she was *Tantazlied* by the flavors. Don't be discouraged if there is a MOUNTAIN of people outside the wait times are usually 20-25min! Fih STAH

    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!

    Brunch!

    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

    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.

    Waitlist doesn't work and when you call instead of putting you in line, they just give you an excuse.

DW is a great little shop/ roastery tucked in a corner of a shopping plaza with a large grocery store and some other small, local spots. DW has a fun, retro vibe to their decor and merch. The baristas are always SO kind and friendly! The owner, Mike, is also super outgoing and welcoming. Everyone is always willing to give me recommendations, which have all been yummy for me. I don't drink coffee/espresso (I know!), but it always smells and looks amazing. Mike roasts the coffee beans himself! What I can say is their matcha is top notch. They use a ceremonial grade powder that is smooth, creamy, and so so yummy in their lattes. The shop also has absolutely stellar syrups and flavors that are made in-house. The combination of such high quality ingredients lends itself to delicious drinks consistently. I've only had a few food items, but they've been really great too! Special shout out to the banana bread for sure. Overall, Dreamwave is consistently awesome! The baristas provide excellent service, food, and drinks. The shop itself has a great vibe and cool merch. I couldn't ask for more, which is why it's a fave for me that I share with all my friends!

The first time we went, we ordered Cafe de la Olla and La Morena- both with oat milk and I asked them to double check the syrups did not contain dairy. I was told all was good so we enjoyed our lattes and our daughters shared a hibiscus refresher. On our second and third visit we ordered again, La Morena and one other latte. I asked again if the syrups contained any dairy and was told no. We ordered again with oat milk. On the second visit, my husband had stomach problems and I suspect dairy was somehow inadvertently used. On the third visit, I thought it may have been a fluke, my husband getting sick and so we ordered what we had the first time but this time I got sick. So, I'm not sure if there is dairy in the syrup or if they accidentally used cow milk in our lattes. Too bad too, because the flavors were tasty. We also appreciated the donuts from Doughside Donuts. I'm just not sure we will be ordered coffee from here anymore. The entry is really cute and you automatically see the variety of plants. They sell some jewelry and plant/Mexican pastry merchandise. Service was friendly but parking is not so great, especially when they are busy. Street parking only and it can be slim, especially on street sweep days. Cute shop but be weary if staying away from dairy.
