On March 31st around noon, we showed up to Broken Yolk in Mira Mesa with 30 people and no reservation, right after burying our niece at Miramar Memorial Cemetery. Chan stepped in immediately. No hesitation; just calm, organized, and solution-focused. He and I quickly mapped out a plan and he executed it on the spot. Everyone got seated, served, and taken care of. Orders were right, timing was solid, and the whole experience ran smoothly; especially considering the size of our group and the circumstances. More importantly, he made it easy for us in a moment when we were all emotionally drained. That kind of leadership and composure matters. Chan handled it exceptionally well. read more

This breakfast and lunch place is bright, spacious and very clean. The service was very good and attentive. We had breakfast here and I'm thankful for their extensive menu. They have lots of healthy and hearty options. The two egg breakfast was very simple and delicious. We loved everything here. The coffee kept flowing and they constantly refilled us. The spicy Benedict was also very tasty. I recommend this casual breakfast and lunch spot. They have many options on their menu. Parking is plentiful here. read more

I had a great experience at Broken Yolk! The food was fresh, hot, and came out quickly, but what really made the visit stand out was the excellent service from our waiter, Godofiedo. He was attentive, professional, and made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. He kept our drinks refilled, checked in at the right times, and had a very friendly attitude that made the whole meal more enjoyable. read more

Food was quick. Service was excellent. Chan went above and beyond. Will be back again

Great experience visiting here for the first time today. We were visiting friends here in San Diego and was looking for a brunch plate to eat. This seemed like a great option for large group and we decided to try it. Service was excellent and the gentleman supporting our table was great. My coffee never was empty and when we needed refills, the team was at the table. Food was good too and our kids enjoyed their meals. When we visit, we will be back. read more

This is my favorite Broken Yolk location for the service and the quality of food :) I've been here several times for brunch, and it is always a good experience! I have tried the Border Benedict, the Sopes Benedict, and the Crunchy French Toast here! Border Benedict: This benedict comes on a corn cake, and is so interesting! I've never had a benny with this texture/flavor before. The beef on top also goes really well with the sweetness of the corn cake. Sopes Benedict: This is another fusion benedict with a different bun compared to a normal benedict, and is also really yummy! Crunchy French Toast: Really yummy! This is really sweet though and kind of too much to finish - it is a good option to order for the table if you are with a bigger group! I really enjoy this chain in general, but this is by far my favorite location! Their hash browns are the best out of all the Broken Yolks. Servers are friendly, and parking is really easy in this plaza. read more

Arrived just after they opened and only one other person. They had a M-F special menu. Looked good so I tried it. Two small pancakes and bacon. Good, I was still kinda full from a night of AYCE Korean BBQ. I upgraded to blueberry pancakes for $1. Got a coffee as well. Small pancakes showed up and they were still HUGE! Great staff, manager Chan is one of those great employees you don't want to let go. Gives a great face and personality for this location! Big location, very clean. It's breakfast done right and I couldn't have hoped for a better experience. Coffee was Lavata brand and was excellent. I'll be back for sure! Next up, eggs Benedict! read more

If you have ever read my reviews you know I like breakfast and I especially love biscuits. I have been all over the US, from Oregon, Massachusetts, New Mexico and all over the south and eaten biscuits everywhere. I have finally found the world's WORSE biscuit. Over cooked, rock hard and taste like baking powder /soda not too sure. But Yuk. The restaurant is also a SYSCO lovers delight! Service was fine and the place looks like a typical breakfast place. I would not go out of my way to visit, but if you do, consider yourself warned, don't order the biscuit. read more

Our waiter was great ! His name is godofred and he was very charismatic and very nice. We ordered poached eggs with hash browns and blueberry muffin. Eggs were poached just right. The muffin was delicious. We also had the salmon toast and scrambled eggs. The salmon toast was very delicious. This restaurant was also very clean. Looked like it was new....forgot to ask read more

Chan was our server. He was very attentive and hardworking. We appreciate him. This was our first time at this location. I loved the pancakes! Light and fluffy! I would order again! We ordered it as a side because we ordered entrees. Chose the MOM omlet - Spinach, mushroom, onion, red and green bell pepper. Topped with avocado, salsa fresca, and sour cream. I had mine with the salsa on the side, hash brown and rye bread and my Dad had the same except with salsa and a blueberry muffin. It was good, I especially love rye bread so it added another depth to my meal. We also ordered a side of bacon. Ordered a to go item CROISSANT BREAKFAST SANDWICH- Applewood-smoked bacon, scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese and chipotle mayo on butter croissant. I was delicious as well.

It was my first time at the Broken Yolk Mira Mesa and it's so nice inside! I think it's the only breakfast spot we have in the neighborhood. Our server David was had the best customer service and made sure my water was always filled and checked in on us which was great. 10/10 service. I love the menu! You have your traditional american breakfast, Mexican fusion, and sweets like crepes, waffles and smoothies. I was super hungry for brunch so I ordered the chicken fried steak, with gravy, 2 sunny side eggs, biscuit and hash browns! Please ask for them to be made extra crispy! If you do not ask, it'll be served soggy. The fried chicken steak was bomb, gravy was bomb and bush hit was bomb! 10/10 meal. All in all, I wish i've visited sooner! I am definitely coming back for more after this first experience. read more

Today was a casual brunch at our local "diner" & I was in the mood for something sweet! My partner really enjoyed the chicken fried steak last time so wanted to order it again. - Chicken Fried steak ($18.95): The scrambled eggs were perfectly cooked. The chicken fried steak had a nice crunch underneath the gravy. We asked for the hash browns extra crispy (because that's the way we like them) and sourdough toast that came with super creamy butter. - French toast sweet trio ($17.95): This dish comes with their Tiki Toast, Crunchy French Toast, and cinna-cake. I wanted to try a bit of everything, but since I only liked the Tiki Toast, I wish I had just ordered that instead. It's not that the crunchy french toast or cinna-toast tasted bad. The Tiki Toast was just more unique, with the sweet softness of the Kings Hawaiian bread. There was nothing special about the bread in the Crunchy French Toast, and the cinna -cake was too sweet for me to add much syrup (and my favorite part of pancake eating is drenching everything in syrup!) - We joined their rewards program and got a free short stack of pancakes. The pancakes were very fluffy and went well with the syrup. I took the leftovers home & they were just as good the next day. Our server GODOFREDO was super friendly and attentive. He always had a smile for us even though it was very busy. read more

Hellaaaaaa goood, Chan was an amazing server. We loved the eggs Benedict. Coffee and flights were amazing as well.

Godo fredo provided great service. Food came hot and affordable. Server made sure we were comfortable throughout our breakfast. Thank you!

food quality was below average. omelets were burnt. blue berry muffin was horrible tasting and atificial. flys were on our food when brought to table. read more

A few brunch misses here but still better than expected. My hot cocoa and the hash browns were good. BF got the eggs Benedict and liked it. The lemon ricotta pancake was bland and a bit undercooked, while the Bloody Mary flight was ridiculously watered down. Quick service, short wait on a Saturday, large menu and convenient location for a last minute group brunch read more

BYC is located in Mira Mesa, a few miles from the 15 freeway, in the Target shopping center. Plenty of parking. This was my first time at this location, and second time at a Broken Yolk. The entryway is large and welcoming. They ask you if you want indoor out outdoor seating. We chose to wait for indoor since it was cold and rainy outside. We were lucky on a Sunday morning, and only had a few minutes wait. We were quickly ushered to our table. It was ok, but it was near a station where they pile up dishes that are cleaned from tables, and near a door that was being opened to let people in and out, so a cold draft for most of the time. Alejandra was very nice. She was fast, efficient, and made sure to clarify our orders so no questions. The order was 100% accurate. We were all amazed because the food came out minutes after we ordered it. There is a large menu, and so many things that I wanted to try. I selected the Monte Cristo. It was good, tasty, warm, and about 1450 calories. Not the best one I have ever had, but very good. We also had a build your own omelette. It was ok. It seemed to be coated in a lot of butter and the avocado was on top, not inside, and too much spinach. Would not get that again. The egg breakfast looked ok, but I did not try that, not sure if the person who ordered it would order it again. I am curious how the french toast and pancakes are, there were some good looking options. read more

Food, service and coffee are great. Godofredo was our server this morning. Very attentive and prompt with our coffee and food. Recommend if you are in the area read more

My family and I are regulars at this Broken Yolk and this has been our favorite experience ever because of our server Godofredo! We love his personality and his service! We felt very welcomed and cared for throughout our entire meal even when he was busy running around the restaurant. Our food was delicious and we ate outside because of our service dog. (Godofredo even brought out water for our dog! That was a very sweet gesture ) We hope to have Godofredo as our server again the next time we eat here! Shoutout to the person who made me BLT! Didn't skimp out on the bacon haha. Thank you Broken Yolk! Until next time! read more

My sister and I came here for breakfast on a Sunday morning while I was visiting her. We were sat right away. Our server was Godo Fredo and he was great! Super helpful and very attentive. My sister got the cinnamon pancakes with bacon, eggs, and hash browns and I ordered the chicken and waffle benedict. Everything was tasty and we lovedddd the hasbrowns, they were seasoned perfectly. Definitely great price for everything and great portion sizes. Would definitely be back read more

I really don't understand how this place gets 4+ stars on Yelp!!! The food was ok but definitely overpriced $22 for egg Benedicts is quite steep considering the quality and the portion. For me it is just like ihop with a higher price tag. Also service was not impressive. The waiter forgot to bring us the to go box we asked for and then disappeared. We had to grab it ourselves. And it was not even that busy in there. The staff couldn't speak clearly English and couldn't understand it very well either. To end on a brighter note the venue is nice. read more

I placed a Doordash order for pickup. Doordash cancelled my 1st order so I placed a 2nd order. When I got to the restaurant, Chan helped me out. There were 2 orders sent to them n he processed them both for me. Score for free food. Food portions are really big here. It's enough for 2 meals. At least for me it is. Always cooked perfectly and tasty. Restaurant was clean and the parking lot is huge so there are plenty of parking. Come n support your local small restaurant. read more

Delicious steak and eggs, pretty good medium rare just lacked a little bit of salt but house potatoes made up for it. Strawberry and whipped cream belgian waffle were soo yum! Chan was our server today, he was so great despite having a good number of tables to run around on - plus he sang me happy birthday haha, thanks Chan :) read more

This place has really gone downhill and I will be surprised if it is open much longer. The service is marginal at Best and the food is pretty gross. The Canadian bacon (ham) is flavorless and has the texture of rubber. Don't order the avocado toast. The bread is hard as a rock, avocado smell and taste was not good and they smother it with arugula. That was my last trip there!! read more

First time here and Godofredo was just so friendly, made everything so easy for us since we had a little one with us. Thank you

I absolutely love Broken Yolk Cafe, they have multiple locations in San Diego and I love going to the one in PB and Mira Mesa locations. They have some of the best breakfast and servers too. Super friendly people and the food is absolutely amazing for the price. It's always packed in the mornings, especially on the weekends which is a good sign! They have various different food items and lunch items too. I'm always so happy when I leave here because the customer service and food is amazing! read more

Diana my waitress was so attentive and welcoming!! She was helpful with explaining the menu. Although they were short staff I never felt ignored. She did great in managing all the tables as well as the help she had from the gentleman. Went in early and it was busy but didn't wait for a table. The food was good and the coffee was fresh. Lots of parking since it's in a shopping plaza. read more

Kind staff and lots of variety and menu options! This was my first time eating at this chain, but I've seen all the restaurants in my area. Everyone else at the table liked their dish and I was satisfied with mine. I do wish it had more hash browns since it was so thin. The eggs Benedict had a good serving of toppings but the bread was a little hard. read more

We went here since we had a sub-par experience at the nearby IHOP the weekend before, and Broken Yolk Cafe got our breakfast right. 12/01/2024. Chicken fried steak ($17.95): was extra crispy and seasoned, 4/5 stars. Spanish rice, eggs, and blueberry muffin were all basic, although satisfactory, 3.5/5 stars. Mom's omelette (veggies) [$16.95]: this was standard fare but it is traditional preparation after all, 3.5/5 stars. The service was spot on and made for an enjoyable first meal of the day. read more
