We absolutely love coming to Broken Yolk, and Liz is a huge reason why! She's incredibly sweet with the kids and makes everyone feel welcome the moment we walk in. She checked on us multiple times without us ever having to flag her down and kept our coffee cups full like magic. Her positive energy is contagious - always smiling, always kind. You can tell she genuinely cares. We honestly come back here because of the amazing experience she creates every time. Thank you, Liz! read more

Great place for brunch! They have all the classic breakfast dishes and some creative Mexican twists.

It's a great place for Food, service and overall atmosphere. We have gone to around locations and received very good service and food in each. read more

Absolutely amazing customer service!! From the hostess, waitstaff to management. I wish I could give them 10 stars!! Food came out quick and hot!! I cannot speak enough about the service! 10 out of 10 I highly recommend. read more

Decided to give this chain another shot in California after a poor service experience in Las Vegas. The ambiance is pleasant and the restaurant is very clean. I was amazed by the enormous portion sizes, which felt like great value. The food itself was delicious, and I loved the green matcha tea and large water cups. Service was adequate but felt rushed, as if they were just herding customers. Overall, a positive experience with great food and value, and I'd recommend giving it a try! read more

This place is nice and the food is above average. The service is always on point here. Smiling faces and quick to get you your food. No need to dress up this place is for casual dining and always busy. The establishment well kept with the exception of the restrooms. The restrooms always seem to be under some sort of repair. The food is hit or miss. Some of the food is creative and fantastic and others look and sound great but lack flavor. read more

I'm reluctant to give this place a star, but I had to, and it's for the food. Service needs major improvement! We were seated next to the kitchen area, so the staff were constantly passing our table, which was fine. However, the food took a very long time to come out. We understand it's a busy Saturday morning, but we only got our coffee refilled with no other communication. No one said, "Thanks for waiting, your food is almost ready," or "Would you like some water too?" The major issue was that the table behind us, which got seated after us, received their food before us. This left us feeling disappointed. While the food was good, the service was severely lacking. No one checked in on how the food was, offered napkins or water, or even acknowledged us when we presented our credit cards for payment. Several employees walked by our table without offering a box for the muffin or the check. Only the busboy came by to pick up the plates. This wasn't just poor service; it felt like no service at all. I've never experienced anything like this. It felt almost like they didn't care about our table. The high-mile omelet and the matcha latte were good though. read more

So beyond disappointed with the food. I have been coming here for years and the Border Benedict was my favorite menu item. Imagine my surprise when I go to order and my food comes out within five minutes and the hottest thing was the plate. Everything was cold, including the home fries although they remade it they still couldn't get it warm because everything was prepped and already cooked and just thrown together upon ordering. The corn cake was cold and dried out and the carnes asada was scarce and fatty and even the poached egg was cold to the touch. The heat must have come from a lamp or microwave because the poblano cream sauce was separated. I will not be coming back which makes me very sad but the changes to save time or cut back have unfortunately hurt them. I will say that the service was good and my waiter was great and good to see the Geoffrey still works there! read more

Great service, environment was really kind and friendly, food was excellent. I got the chicken and waffles and the waffles were really fluffy and buttery. read more

Came to broken yolk today, to celebrate an anniversary, Manuel O gave us excellent service and made sure we felt at home, 2nd time we've came to this location and definitely will be back from now on read more

Went here with my family and everyone left very happy with their food! The cinnamon roll pancakes were my favorite. Lots of Mexican options. All of the food seemed pretty worth it for the price and everyone was stuffed. Only thing was that the mimosas tasted like 98% of champagne, but if that's your thing then you'll love them! read more

Broken Yolk Cafe - Guess what! They did it again. Whyyyyyyy even give me avocado at this point. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orange, California

Manuel, our waiter was super cool and the food was great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Overall solid visit. We've had this place bookmarked for a while. We went out to the tree farm and needed some breakfast on the go heading back so we thought we'd call in an order. I picked up the California breakfast burrito. Super happy with the burrito itself good size eggs are nice and fluffy bacon was crispy. They had a salsa that was a little bit more pico de gallo than it was salsa. That would be my only piece is it needed a little something extra like a good salsa, maybe they have that inside and we didn't get it since we were doing a grab and go. We did avocado toast which comes with some eggs over easy on top of them. Even after a short trip home the egg still broke open nice and runny which is excellent bread was nice and thick. My only piece would be getting just a little bit of extra salt on those. My wife picked up a chorizo breakfast bowl. Which was spicy! Tons of jalapeños and so much so she had to break up eating it over a couple of different meals. Overall worth it there's a few other things I'd love to try on the menu. Will give it another go. read more

The mimosas and the spicy vegan breakfast bowl is what I ordered. Man, let me tell you that this is too much food for one person. The sheer amount is just ridiculous. That's not my complaint though. I had two issues with this joint over all. One they can't help and the other they can. Parking here is awful. Like dreadful awful. There are signs everywhere saying no broken yolk parking to give you an idea of the overflow they have. The second, I ordered a grilled cheese for my son and it came out a bit anemic. Our food was spot on but the grilled cheese didn't have the same care. There are multiple vegan options which is nice and over all the experience was good. I'd come back for the mimosas alone but the food is good too! Huge props for hosting vegan options. This is the first brunch we've been able to eat in years because no one offers vegan alternatives. read more

Manuel provides exceptional service, consistently ensuring a positive dining experience.

Came here for an early breakfast and the French toast trio really hit the spot. I think it's called the sweet trio?? This order came with king slice of Tiki Toast, one slice of Crunchy French Toast and one Cinna-Cake. I made it a combo for a few bucks extra to add eggs and bacon. The cinnamon-cake was the best item, extra fluffy and topped with cinnamon. The crunchy French toast was coated with Frosted Flakes and had a fun texture that complimented the fruity topping. read more

I would like to say first this rating has no bearing over my server as she was wonderful and great and we tipped her still so thank you to my server! I am giving two stars because the buttermilk pancakes were good and fresh and my granddaughter loved her cheeseburger meal! My daughter and I ordered the ice mocha first I must say the coffee was horrible once we stirred it until all the chocolate syrup was mixed in and the whip cream all it tasted like was a generic version of chocolate milk sadly. I ordered the croissant sandwich and the bottom croissant was soggy and when I bit into it seemed a bit salty sadly. My hash browns were ok could've used some seasoning and my daughter's chilaquiles were soggy, bland and mozzarella instead of queso fresco very weird and wrong. The salsa in the chilaquiles seemed watery and unfortunately the cinnapancakes were just too sweet and I sent them back. I gave them a two bcuz our server she was great and my granddaughter enjoyed her kids meal and well the buttermilk pancakes were not better than McDonald's tbh. I'm sure this place is great for kids and those who don't really care for seasoning and flavor or even authenticity but it was really a miss for me and my daughter really tried to find a bright side in our meals when there none apparent. So for kids it's great if you want a similar Denny's or norms with a little bit and I say a very slight difference then this is your place as for me and my daughter well I'm sure it's apparent but my granddaughter we would probably just eat elsewhere and come back for my granddaughter. read more

What an amazing visit for my family's brunch! Brianna and Manuel did a fantastic job serving my party of 30! The food was delicious and came out almost immediately after we ordered. So glad they were able to accommodate us on their patio that was fully enclosed and had heaters on it. Thank you again Broken yolk for hosting us! read more

Thank you for the great food and the excellent service! We stopped here for a quick bite with our kids. It was our daughter's birthday and we had planned a surprise for her.

She did not expect any of it and then they gave her a delicious strawberry chocolate crepe! Her favorite! What excellent service and the food was delicious too!!!

We got there around 10 AM today, Sunday. The place was packed and parking lot full. We divided and conquered, part of out party went in to put us on the wait list, while I found a parking spot. Timing was perfect and ended up getting a spot close to the entrance and were called to be seated quickly; were given a 20 min estimate but called in about 5. The food came out quickly and it was delicious. Service was quick and friendly. Everything was good, especially the pancakes, they were so fluffy and delicious!!! This was our third time coming here and I swear they keep changing the menu. Not that it's mattered, as the food and service has been good each time. read more

We came here last weekend because we were looking for a new place to bookmark for breakfast...we don't usually eat breakfast, so when we do, we like to try something new. We arrived around 8:30am on a Sunday. Plenty of parking. No line. Staff was super friendly. I ordered the California Omelet (I ordered a biscuit w/gravy instead of toast...so yummy!) and hubby ordered the Huevos Rancheros. We both give two thumbs up for our meals. The portions are HUGE and tasty! We definitely could have used to go boxes, but we were champs and cleaned our plates. We will definitely be back because there are so many other dishes that we'd like to try. read more

As we entered the restaurant, we weren't greeted or acknowledged by the three waiters. They were too busy and chit chatting amongst themselves. There was no wait time or no other guest in the waiting area. Great way to start the day! We were finally seated after awhile. We ordered mimosa flights of course ****ORDERS**** the ranchero skillet- i actually really liked this skillet! Full of flavors and the sauce they use was sooo good! It was a big portion not going to lie had to ask my bf for help! Meat lovers omelette- my bf loved it! Said it was a good portion and side! Couldn't even get to try a bite he devoured it!! And the omelette wasn't overcooked(: Dessert- stuffed French toast with mascarpone! I looooved this so much! It was so airy so light and so delicious! It wasn't too sweet either such a good balance wished they gave us more mascarpone! Service - they need to work on their customer service! I asked our waiter 5 times for more sauce and salsa took way to long than it should've been! Kept forgetting and then when we got the bill we were charged extra for the salsa . Overall- food was good just needs better workers who are more attentive , actually listening and friendly & welcoming read more

We were so disappointed with the food! The skillet came in a bowl, the presentation was nice but that's about it. Under the egg and gravy is a thick layer of yellow cheese in a bed of some cooked and some hard potatoes. My husband and bro in law got the machaca plate, both left basically all their plate, beans tasted bitter, the rice had no flavor, same with the machaca. Gave my bro in law a stomach ache. Staff was nice and gave us a 25% discount for the inconvenience. Never again. read more

I'm not sure what the hoopla is about this place. The food was terrible and the service sucked. Ordered the chicken, fried steak and eggs with gravy and hashbrowns. The food came out cold The hash browns were tasteless. The eggs were rubbery and the chicken fried steak was definitely some thing from the freezer, Not fresh. The gravy also had no taste. I ordered the avocado toast, the bread was stale. The mom's omelette the eggs were also rubbery, and the mushrooms were very chewy. I expected a higher standard of food. Place does accommodate large parties however, it is very loud. We had to keep repeating ourselves to our waitress because she could not hear us. This is our second time here and our last time, unfortunately. read more

After a long hike to appreciate spring flowers, decided to indulge in some yummy brunch! I actually had this place a long time ago in a San Marcos location. ORDERS *Meat lover skillet: all the meats that you can imagine plus eggs *Choose two benedicts: classic (poached egg, english muffin, bacon) and border benedicts (came with cornbread and carne asada) with hashbrowns - I enjoyed the classic over the border benedicts. Thought the carne asada meat was a bit too dry for the benedicts. *Classic OJ Food came out so quick that we were surprised! Good attentive service and fast seating for a Saturday brunch. Menu is so extensive, there are plenty of options for everyone! Pretty solid for American brunch and would return if craving! read more
