Food was really good and our server, Thomas was great! Definitely recommend this place.

We were here a couple of weeks ago during the Surf Cup. We had a large group of 14 so we didn't think we would be seated soon. We told them to break us up into any size and seat any of us ASAP. 40 minutes latter and 7 groups of 3-4 and then a group of 9 are seated. My wife and our friend go to the hosts and ask what's up (toned down version)? "We'll we couldn't seat you because it would have overloaded a server" Our players eat at the counter and some of us just left. Of the six of us that did eat. Service was great. The food OK. read more

We just moved to the area and stopped by The Broken Yolk , and we are so glad we did. The place was great !! No complaints here. The portion sizes were HUGE , honestly my husband and I could have shared and both would have left with a full stomach. As our server said - the green sauce is the best! I ordered the mimosa flight with my food and the husband ordered the Bloody Mary. We were both happy with the choices , and he's typically a stickler on bloodys. Also shout out to the entire staff - who all came together to write us a list of the best places in the area - how awesome is that ?!? Truly great experience and we will be back ! read more

Good fast quality service despite "hurricane Hillary". I love the Nutella crepes, minus the Nutella.

1 star is because the server was nice over all. They lack engaging at the welcome center. No one seems to be in charge. You may think fast cooking the meals is a plus. Not when you receive your order 2 minutes after being order and is cold, just like when you cook a big pan of eggs and you serve from there. The server was lost in action and we issue our complaint to a hostess passing by. They replace the portion of the food without an apology. We felt we were a burden for this place. We have no intentions to visit it again. read more

Great experience. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good food. Hostess held the door for my mother-in-law and her wheel chair. Will be back

Nayo was really helpful and provided good fast service ! The churro French toast was delicious and the vanilla chai tea was also really good ! Recommend this place for anyone in the area :) read more

Great service for Sunday brunch. My family ate the Cali breakfast burrito, egg & country potato skillet, and tiki toast. Our waitress Alison was friendly and attentive. She made sure I always had a full cup of coffee. read more

This is my go to breakfast place! The staff is awesome, always welcoming! Food portions are great and taste amazing. Waiter James always remembers us, and knows our drink orders before we even tell him! He always has a great selection of hats and it is fun to guess what he might be wearing that day. Would recommend! read more

The food is always great and I love the mimosa flights. Staff is also super friendly, including the host who always has some cute earrings on read more

I really like this place! It's busy but also spacious. Parking is in front, however, you might need to wait a bit at the main times. We have our favorite waiter: Thomas, but his area is always busy :) waiting time can be (depending on size of party) up to 20min but we have never had an issue with it. We put our name down and than mostly wait in the car or outside. When they call your name, you get mostly seated at a decent spot and we always request a booth. The waiters are friendly and quick and so is the food. I like their Omelettes and crepes. The food isn't the healthiest but I sometimes like to splurge a little. The portions are filling and tasty and I have always had a good experience when I didn't like something to modify it my way. This is one of my favorite places to plunge. It is very kid friendly with a play area and in general no one is bothered much by kids here. read more

I've been to the one in Orange, and was glad to see there is one here in Vista. We were down here for a soccer tournament and it's a great place for carb reload. Just like the one in Orange, this place is full-house with the brunch crowd. If you don't want to wait, the counter area is 1st come 1st serve, and is a great way to get your carbs in without the wait. We were in and out within 30 minutes. The counter staff are really helpful and always there if you need anything extra. This place did not disappoint! read more

Good hard to choose and service was quick and friendly. Great place to take the family

We loved Nay, he was the best! Great service, amazing food and fast!! I ordered the mom omelet ..it was amazing!

Great food and service! Nayo was our server, he is undoubtedly best server. He is attentive, professional, and observant. Nayo provides exceptional service! read more

It's in a good location but what got me was the staff. I've been to a broken yolk but in Arizona and was not pleased with the food but the staff there was great. I was hoping after moving here that this location would be better. Welp, it wasn't. We got our seats and the food was honestly good, but the staff was horrendous. My waitress was great but there was a station for the servers next to my table and what I assume was a manager was yelling and arguing with them. They were loud and obnoxious and were talking about stealing champagne. This was probably the most I professional place I have ever been too. Also the host gave off a "I don't care" vibe and practically didn't acknowledge nor care that we were there. When we left they are dancing around like children at the front door. The only good thing id say was our waitress and the food. Other than that horrible. read more

I love the place, food never disappoints, price have increased but that to be expected with cost of food going up, the lay out is great for large party, but also has intimate booths for casual conversations. If your in Oceanside and look for a great place to eat brunch check it out read more

Me and my fiancé are regulars to this place and every time we go there to dine in we never have any problems with the staff or food quality, however on more than one occasion when we have placed an order for pick up or delivery we have had our orders either being completely wrong and not what we ordered or have staff members annoyed with us coming in to pick up our order. I would have expected better than this since we never get treated like this with dinning in but with pick up/ delivery it's a whole different story. I wouldn't recommend pick up/delivery for this place it's not worth your time or money. read more

Good menu with a variety of food options. My family got eggs Benedict, an omelette and waffles and we all loved our food. Our waiter Nayo was amazing! He got our order perfect and had a great attitude! read more

Ummm...what a difference...YUM again! Big THANK YOU to ALISON, who was one of the best servers I've ever had...in my life! This review may be a little overdue...my bad! BYC used to be one of my favorite places for brunch when I first moved out here in 2006 (dating myself much? lol). When they opened one in Oceanside, I was over the moon, but neither the service or food was that great...and of course, Swami's and all the new "farm fresh" concepts popping up, took over as my favorites. A couple of months ago, I came in again as it was a convenient location for a meeting and it was GOOD! Clean and great taste...service was good! I've given it three more tries and it hasn't hasn't disappointed yet. Enter Alison! Today I came solo to grab some food while I worked on my laptop, food was great (nothing fancy...bacon and eggs, but it was good...and yes, surprisingly those two simple staples can be messed up). Back to Alison...SHE WAS AWESOME!!! Not just with me, but with all the customers around me and her supporting team and colleagues. It was flawless. I enjoyed taking a minute just to watch her work her magic (reminded me of the scene in Beauty and the Beast where the kitchen and all the dishes flawlessly performed "Be our guest" :-). I came in during a crazy rush hour, but she never skipped a beat, offered helpful suggestions, replenished my coffee and anticipated every need before I even realized I needed it. Same with others around me. GREAT JOB...Please keep her! :-))) Actually, if my company was big enough already, I would have offered her a job on the spot! Thank you Alison and thank you to the management team of this location for bringing it back to what I once remembered!!! Congrats on the turnaround! I'll be back regularly...see you soon! read more

If I could leave no starts, that would be more accurate. We used the waitlist app for this restaurant, and specifically requested the patio. Once we arrived, we were informed we'd be next, but only for indoor seating. When I spoke to the hostess she stated that we'd have to wait at least 45 minutes for outdoor seating because 2 large parties on the patio had not yet ordered. It appears that either they don't know how to judge appropriate wait time, or they pretend you can sit outside to get you in, and then force you to eat indoors. Obviously, we will not be returning, and will share our negative experience with others. read more

First visit and last visit. Covid restrictions are ridiculous. Have to keep a mask until they serve food. Food was cold. Definitely not worth the wait or money. read more

The breakfast here is excellent! The waitresses are prompt,very friendly, and helpful especially when you order they give you additional suggestions to add to your meal. I ordered the traditional breakfast with hashbrowns crispy and it was suggested cheddar cheese on top. It was very good. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good hearty breakfast! read more

Broken Yolk Cafe - This is one half of my hashbrowns. Top with cheddar cheese excellent! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Oceanside, California

Suzie was great! Very welcoming and got our order in nice and quick. Food was delicious and hit the spot.

This is my 2nd time coming and the food does not disappoint. We came on Easter Sunday and the wait was only 30min. That was huuuuuge! Our waiter was prompt and the food came out pretty quick being that it was a full house. I order the classic French toast AND the waffle sandwhich. Both were absolutely dee-lic-ous!!! I highly recommend coming here if you're ever in town. Menu had a huge selection, great flavor, and even better price read more

Broken Yolk was packed at 11am on a Sunday, but we joined the waitlist on Yelp and a 25 minute wait was probably trimmed down to 10 for our party of 4. Love it. Food was tasty. Servings ample. Staff was attentive and patient. We'll be back! read more

I've been here a couple of times and it was just alright. Nothing really special and it was a little pricey. When I come in this area this place is pretty busy but I just don't understand why. I'm not saying the food is terrible but it's not that great either. I would say it's a step up from Denny's and IHOP but way more expensive. The menu is pretty big and it looks really good but I'm just not a fan. read more

Such a cute place for sunday breakfast! Food was great, our order came out accordingly even as a party of 10. Thomas was the best server, always checking in and making sure we had what was needed read more

Had a great breakfast and service by Nayo. Everything tasted terrific and the service was outstanding.

Ordered takeout on 1/1 For a celebratory breakfast. Everything was fresh and hot and delicious.

Great great food! If you are having a bad day, just try their mimosa flight. Will put a smile on your face for sure!

Great brunch spot! Love the mimosa flights! I've been to different locations and the food is always delicious. Favorites are the Tiki toast and Chicken Fried Steak. Usually a wait at all the locations so try to reserve your spot on the waitlist on Yelp! read more

Nayo was great and the food was delicious! He gave us awesome service!! Thank you so much!!

I have eaten at your other restaurant earlier this year and enjoyed it. We were in the area and decided to try it again. I was not impressed and rather disappointed with the quality of food. The bacon was over cooked, hash browns were soggy and the coffee was so strong and overwhelming. I registered my complaint with our server. I am including a picture of my receipt. I don't think we will visit the Oceanside location. Thank you and have a great day. Don't waste your time her go to the one Carlsbad I emailed the owners per their request for feedback and never received a response. read more

Great breakfast! Reasonable wait time and service. Really enjoyed the Chicken fried steak and eggs. read more

A bit of a slow start, but we came late in the morning, we sat in the back with our dog, so I think we got lost amongst the end of morning rush. We got there about 1000 am on Sunday. Alison found us and greeted us quick and got us started. I even think that we were not in her area, so I think she was going out of here way to get to us. She was really awesome and took really good care of us. Her personality really made the morning as she was attentive, straight away and kept our drinks full. The food was really good and big portions...Banging Bloody Mary's! I've been here several times and there is always another family or couple that will have a dog and there has never been a problem. 5 Stars for Alison at the Fire Mt store. Thanks! D. read more

Broken Yolk Cafe is an easy, reliable place to get a breakfast/brunch meal. It's spacious, has a decent sized menu, and has ample parking. Unfortunately nothing I've had on the menu is so mind blowingly good that I absolutely have to have it again. I would come back, and I would eat and enjoy my food, but I would much rather go to a more unique spot. That said, I recommend you check out their eggs Benedict menu. There are some gems there. For example, I enjoy both the Border Benedict (with carne asada, poblano pepper sauce and a sweet corn cake base) and the Golden State Benedict (with avocado, tomato, Hollandaise, bacon, and Sriracha). Their mimosa selection looks good, but I have yet to come here for drinks. Maybe next time. read more

My husband and I have been very selective/careful to where we go out to dine during these unprecedented times. I was inspired to leave a review for not only this restaurant but for Molly who served us. The silverware was wrapped and in individual bags, condiments were tray passed in individual containers and only handled by the server, tables were more than 10' apart. The restaurant was very clean. Food was served hot and fresh! Molly was friendly and seemed grateful to be opened and working. If you live in Oceanside, Vista or Carlsbad feel confident to make this place your go to for eating out. read more

Love coming to Broken Yolk! The dinning area is huge and they have a huge staff here especially on the weekends to cater to the huge crowds! Come here EARLY!! While the wait might be 15-20 min they do have a cozy little area to wait in and activities to give the kids so it goes by quick. The staff is pretty cool. The menu is solid with the basics like eggs and anything batter based (the French Toast and the crepes especially). They know how to serve a breakfast.They have a great assortment of customizable options, and can make a damn good breakfast sandwich as well. My eggs Benedict was amazing as always!! A+ on price too not as cheap as say Denny's but worth the money ! read more
