Had a mom date for breakfast after we dropped off our kids, it was great! The decor inside has been updated since I've last been in here and looks nice and spacious. There was plenty of tables open and we sat right down. Coffee was good and the food even better! Lots of aisle space and the booths were nice and cozy. We enjoy coming here and leaving caffeinated and full. Started to get a rush around 9am. Staff was great and service was quick. Highly recommend! read more

I decided to come back to give this place another try. We ordered huevos rancheros and cappuccino with hazelnut. This time around the food wasn't as bad as the first time. For the huevos rancheros, the beans lacked salt or just flavor in general. The rice was good and the salsa was ok. The salsa could've used more flavor. The cappuccino was ok. I can't quite pinpoint what it was missing, but it almost reminded me more of hot chocolate than coffee. Overall, everything was ok. read more

Great food and service. Friendly staff very clean asstablishment. Love the great atmosphere

As soon as we walked in the door Manuel greeted us with a smile. Always amazing service with him. My wife and me enjoy coming to breakfast and having him as a server. Always a great experience with him as our server read more

This is a very popular place in the morning. Get there early or you'll be waiting. Staff are very nice. Was seated immediately and greeted by wait staff quickly. I ordered biscuits and gravy with side of fruit. The gravy was very good with pieces of sausage within. The biscuits tasted good but the bottom and top crust were very hard. The gravy is so thick there was not liquid to soften it. The bowl of fruit was very fresh and had a good variety of fruit. We were two friends catching up for 1.5 hours and attended to just enough during our visit. My friend ordered a short stack which was huge. Would go back again. read more

Service was amazing food was okay would come back to try something else. The apple juice my daughter didn't like and it was pricey

The restaurant is pretty clean. The service was excellent better than food. Hawaiian style French toast taste pretty interesting. Waffle sandwich is just OK. Golden State Benedict taste okay. Overall the food is Comfort food. read more

Received delivery and bags stapled shut. You would think that with a 20 percent surcharge for any individual food price plus $12.85 service charge for using uber eats that they could get an order right. Ordered a number of items. Missing an entire American breakfast. Only gave us the toast! Ordered chicken fried steak and no gravy. Took 1 1/2 hours for delivery. Interesting to note that earlier recent reviews mentioned that their same meals were also missing the gravy so this location definitely has issues with attention to detail. Items highlighted on receipt in red, but not provided. read more

Really tasty place! They have a lot of unique dishes and breakfast classics. Server Mayra was great too, another food runner accidentally mixed up my order and Mayra was able to quickly fix the situation. I definitely want fo be back to try their bloody marys! read more

The only positive thing about this place is that it is clean, other than at my food was terrible. This is my second time going and had a similar experience the first time but thought I'd give it another chance cause it's close to my house. Potatoes not fully cooked and way too much chorizo and barely any cheese in the omelet. To top it off it's overpriced. Whoever's cooking the food should be replaced. Never going there again read more

First time and was not disappointed! Will definitely be coming back! Everyone was so great. We had an amazing experience from start to finish. 10/10 read more

Amazing! Super big menu, delish food and cute waiters. The place was packed - and for good reason. The ambience is a little underwhelming and more of a diner feel. But the food surprisingly spectacular. Wish it was cozier. Other than that, the Mexican style crepe was one of the best things I've ever had. What a great concept! The portions were huge too. read more

Visited Broken Yolk for the first time this morning with friends. I am absolutely in love with their savory chicken crepes here. My lady opted for Chicken & Waffles Benedict that were just amazing too. Our friends really enjoyed their Nutella crepes as well with fresh strawberries + bananas. Broken Yolk is conveniently located off Chapman and Yorba in the city of Orange right off Chapman and the 55 freeway. The vibe here is fresh, clean and airy, a very comfortable feeling any time of day. Our server Manuel was very attentive, made great eye contact and was able to provide us with everything we needed for a great morning catching up with friends. I was really impressed with the quality of their bacon as well, and can't wait to try the Churro French toast when we come back this week! Thanks Manuel and team for a great experience!! I was also thankful they offered my favorite beer, Modelo and I enjoyed a great Michelada. I'll definitely try to Bloody Mary flight next time too!! read more

I don't leave much reviews, but when I do...It's because it's a well deserve review. This is my second time going to Broken Yolk, but first time at this location. Pros: Food was amazing, excellent service(shout out to our server Stephanie), no wait time, place looks immaculate, staff were all wearing masks, and time management of food service was on point(barely waited and our orders came all at once). Cons: The sanitizer dispenser by the entrance door was out of sanitizer. Not mandatory, but would be helpful to have around as an added perk. Must try: Crunchy French Toast and the Classic Eggs Benedict! read more

Broken Yolk Cafe - Classic Eggs Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orange, California

I would say that perhaps we had a bad experience because we came almost to closing time. However, after asking them if we were going to get a table they said they could still serve us. I came here on a sunday afternoon with coworkers. No one attended our table after we sat down for some time. One waiter took our drink orders but never came back. Another waiter asked if we were ready to order but we brought up our drinks hadn't come. When the drinks did come I was still missing mine well into our meals. One of my coworkers was missing his order entirely. The machaca my other coworker ordered was missing the tortillas. The burger I received could be better as far as a breakfast burger goes. After asking for help from multiple waiters we were over it! They didn't even know the menu well enough to answer other questions we had about the beers on tap. Additionally, the food loses its flavor and you lose your appetite when service is this bad. I would definitely visit the other location we had a completely different and amazing experience. I will not be returning here. read more

I am laying in bed on Saturday morning and my husband text me from downstairs, "Do you want breakfast?" Sure! I suggested a place I love that has awesome breakfast tacos, but they weren't doing delivery that day, and he didn't want to drive. So he chose Broken Yolk Cafe. I ordered the Baja Breakfast Tacos, which are chorizo, eggs, avocado, salsa fresca, and cotija. They are served with a side of rice and black beans. Husband ordered the Sun-Up Breakfast Sandwich: eggs, bacon, cheese, sourdough, served with potatoes, and he got a side of hollandaise. My tacos were really good! Although one fell apart as soon as I picked it up, would probably be good for them to use 2 corn tortillas instead of one. The tacos are pretty big and quite tasty. I LOVED the salsa fresca, it had a great flavor, I will ask for more next time! I was happy with the tacos. The rice, as others have stated, was crunchy. Like, how can you mess up rice so much that people review it being crunchy so many times? Figure out how to cook rice! It was inedible. The beans were whatever, kind of chewy? Probably also overcooked. His sandwich was quite boring, I could have made that for him at home and not had him spend $15 on it. But he said he liked it, and really liked it with the hollandaise. Potatoes were fine, also liked them with the hollandaise. I will order from here again, probably try one of their benedicts now that I know the hollandaise is good. read more

Very typical diner chain - lovely juice! Food quality was very good but not exceptional, I'd still highly recommend. Service was very fast. And cheerful atmosphere. Recommended read more

Easily the most disgusting breakfast burrito of my life. One bite was as far as I could go. Absolutely no aspect of it was fresh, the bacon was undercooked, and the refried beans on the side were truly 90% water and more akin to sludge. Charging 20 dollars for what I can only describe as a lump of flavorless egg and cheese in a tortilla is an actual scam. I'm never eating here again. read more

We came here on a Sunday for our first visit and surprisingly even though the restaurant was busy we didn't wait long before we were seated. Our Server was very friendly and he took the time to answer any questions we had since there were just too many delicious items to choose from! I ended up ordering the Biscuits and Gravy with Scrambled Eggs and Sausage. My daughter Kileigh decided to order the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes with Hash Browns and Bacon. The portions that they give you are big and we found out fast that our eyes were bigger than our stomachs. That being said, the food was really delicious and I even ordered an extra side of gravy to make sure I didn't run out! We plan to Move to Orange County very soon and this Restaurant will be added to our list of favorites for sure! See you soon Broken Yolk Cafe! read more

Our visit for breakfast was quickly acknowledged and seated by Angelo and his team were very efficient in bringing us coffee and menus. We selected and gave our order 5 minutes after the coffee and the waitress returned 5 minutes later to refill our coffee. The food came out shortly and was delicious and fresh. The staff were all attentive and working quickly to service everyone in the restaurant. We thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast and time here. Kudos to a quick and attentive staff and really delicious food! PL read more

Olivia is great she was super fun and nice and she had a lot of positive energy. She was fast and was super caring .

what is not to like about this place? The service is amazing. The people are super nice and the food. The food is top-notch.

I'm from San Diego and the first Broken Yolk Cafe I went to was the original, in Pacific Beach. That one opened in 1979 and I started going in 1984. I was surprised to find a BYC up here, and in fact there are many. Today we tried the one at this location. It is Wednesday, and we arrived around 9:15-9:30. We were promptly seated, asked for a table on the patio, which is nice, though just a view of the parking lot. Our server was friendly and attentive. Our food arrived in a timely fashion. My wife gets the basic breakfast: eggs, bacon, hash browns, and toast. She liked hers fine. I chose the Hash Skillet, and it was good but not great. I did not taste the hash as much as I would have liked. The coffee was good. Now, after 6 years of being up here and not knowing about the BYC, we will be back. The next time we'll try the Fullerton location, equidistant from our home to this location. read more

We came across Broken Yoke Cafe driving home from UCI. I heard they were good and we were not disappointed. We ordered the Tiki French Toast Combo. It was very good. If they added coconut syrup and macadamia nuts to this dish it would be off the charts. Our service was excellent and the ambiance is relaxed. read more

My daughter and I come here from riverside and every time we are blown away. The Benedict's are amazing as is the Monte Cristo. Today, we decided to try the savory crepe and both were just not excited about it. We mentioned it to our waiter, Manuel, and he brought out a Monte Cristo for us instead right away. The service. The food. The ambiance are all top notch. Manuel is the best. Recognized us the second time we came in and always takes the BEST care of us! Love this place! read more

Good service food a little too pricey for the serving but good! For me it's not like my to go place but it was good what I love about restaurants it's to give you a good portion it doesn't hurt my pockets if portion is considerably. Overall it's a good place clean and good service other than just need to improve on the portions. That my personal opinion read more

Food was sub par and prices were too high; they also charged us incorrectly by adding an additional entree. Double check your receipts.

Manual is an awesome sever and very attentive. Always checking in to ensure you have everything you need. The food is always delicious and cooked as requested. My go to breakfast place on Chapman Ave and they play great music and hitch makes the ambience enjoyable! read more

We were seated very quickly and the server was very patient and kind. Our food was out fairly quick and the service was excellent thank you Eunice :). read more

A better name would be "Broken Business Model". The food, when it finally arrived, was almost cold. The "Huevos Rancheros" was one hummingbird egg on the pita chip with tomato chunks from a can, topped with Costco Guac. The beans and rice were separate and would be right at home with the new El Salvador Supermax. Kids "Skillets" were cool to the touch with uncooked potato slices you could see through. Daughter Hash Browns were Hash Whites. The server was nice and the coffee and sweet stuff were good. But everything else was awful. I know Line Cook is a tough gig but don't send out raw potatoes. read more

We've been to their other location which I believe is in Costa Mesa but this was the worst. We only decided to go to Broken Yolk because everything we had last time was amazing and we all had a really good time with the mimosa flights. We were sat and someone acknowledged us right away saying we'll be right with you. Then 15 min later we see the same servers passing by not coming to tend to us. We almost got up and left. I believe the bus boy came and asked if we wanted to get our drink orders in. We were ready to order but he couldn't take our order. So again, we waited and the server finally came to take our order. Order our food and my coworker wanted a beer. For the love of God...they only have 4 beers on hand and our server didn't know what they had. Food came out and one of the dishes was wrong, my tortillas never came out so I had to ask for those. By this time waiting for the tortillas my food got cold. The servings were huge, fresh, presentable and photo worthy but the food had no flavor whatsoever. We all left pretty disappointed. Service was the worst and we kept having to wait for everything. I barely ate my food and didn't want to take it home. No one enjoyed their food. My friend didn't even drink her Bloody Mary. The other location was amazing. I think we will stick to that one. read more
