Popping Yolk Café in Hacienda Heights is in the same plaza as Grab a Crab. You can't miss them…read more They are in the corner of the plaza with a bright yellow building. There is plenty of parking in the plaza. This is a fairly casual brunch. They assign you a table, give you menus, but you'll have to order and pay at the front. Not much service after you order and they drop off your food. My boyfriend has their Classic Breakfast ($18.20) and I had their Kimchi Butter Fried Chicken Benedict ($19.20). The food took a while to come out, and they came out pretty spread apart. I noticed with the other tables how one person would be halfway through by the time the other person's food came. My boyfriend's food came out before mines and I told him to eat first but he wanted to wait for me. Both of the meal came with a side salad and potatoes. I was most look forward to the salad but I was disappointed with how overly dressed and sour it was. Very imbalanced. I've been to other Popping Yolk cafes so I know it isn't meant to be this sour. Their plating also makes all the dressing leak onto the rest of the meal. Depending on what you get it can make it soggy and/or change the intended flavor profile. My boyfriend really likes their potatoes here. It's nice and crispy. It can make you full. They overly salted my potatoes so I didn't want much of it either. As for my kimchi butter fried chicken benedict... Mhmm... as a new item I HOPE they are still working through it. They put a kimchi layer directly onto the English muffin making it soggy immediately... Even on the first bite it was already soggy. By the time I was onto the second half, I just removed the muffin because it was inedible. The tasty was good. I liked the flavor combination but the execution was the big issue. The sauce and everything just made the fried chicken soft and soggy too. I want crispiness when I hear fried chicken. Oh yeah! My boyfriend also got a Pepsi ($3.25). On their menu it says the sodas are refillable. The whole time we were there I didn't see staff checking on anyone's refillable drinks. If you're expecting the refill, you might be disappointed. The experience is very casual and lackluster but the pricing is definitely on the high side. I'm not a fan.

I recently tried this place with a friend after a hike, and I'm so glad we did. The food was not…read moreonly beautifully presented but also absolutely delicious. We ordered the Strawberry Cheesecake French Toast and the Santa Barbara Benedict. The Benedict was the standout--watching the rich, runny yolk flow out as you cut into the egg made it even more satisfying, and every bite was flavorful. For the French toast, I was expecting slices of cheesecake on top, but instead it came with a whipped cheesecake frosting that had a light, creamy texture. It wasn't what I expected, but it was just as delicious and paired perfectly with the strawberries. The service was excellent. Our server checked on us several times, refilled our water without us asking, and made sure we had everything we needed. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, and both are lovely. On a warm August day in Southern California, the patio was definitely the more popular choice. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu.

Its pretty spacious upon arrival. The music is at a moderate level which makes it very comfortable to talk with friends and family. The Chicken & Waffles were a bit sweet for me. However, the chicken and waffles were so crispy. The eggs Benedict really hit the spot. Perfectly cooked egg paired nicely with the salmon. The garlic fries were perfectly seasoned.

Service was great. Tables were well kept up. Coffee was not great. Not farmers brother coffee…read more Very chicano place. Granddaughters food was real good. House potato's are plain. Just potato's. No seasoning or bell peppers. Asks for sautéed onion and mushrooms omelette. The mushroom and onions were perfectly sautéed. The egg was not fluffy because they didn't blend it enough. Because I ordered a vegetable omelette they mixed it with egg whites. But they took it back and did it the way I like it. Good service. Place was very clean and good music at a perfect level. Saturday at 10:00 only three customers. This place has potential. Before I left more people came it. Owner was t pick up the chicken. I think it's perfectly fine charging for credit cards cause credit cards charge so much now but if you arrange the price on everyone or charge your credit cards three sausage this is in ours. I'm like $82. You're fine. I gave you. I gave you good food I didn't give my name is Rosa that's much better too much better better OK is your question is your owner? Nice is your owner very nice construct. OK never mind then talk to her. How are you doing? Constructive criticism opinions should be a lot better. The fluff mix. I do my eggs in a blender. Fluffy. See a lot more. It doesn't look like the same . That would be much bigger. Just scoop it but use a blender or just just use a blender and I shot at a restaurant one of them could be dairy if you blend it it'll look like why do you use that plate of coffee? What kind of coffee coffee have you tried farmers farmers farmers why don't you put your potatoes? I don't like just let us know blend you think it's a lot more deception the whole thing with one place they start using smaller plates right now. Prices are really good price and low. I love the eggs $85. They've gone down he was killing. Where is your problem ? Say $626 $600 for the same amount but that wasn't even that crazy that's why farmers here. Did not walk around and talk to customers. They charge like $1.00 for credit cards. Which is perfectly reasonable. Theirs prices are very reasonable. Bathroom was very clean. Overall service, location, music, cleanliness are all great. I do not know about lunch, I was just here for breakfast. Breakfast food I would not come here for.

Upon an arriving, you will find Caramelo's located to the far left of a big shopping center. There is plenty of parking in the area, but if you want to secure something close by try to arrive early- especially before brunch time. The service here is always great in my experience! I do my best to try something new every time and I haven't had any complaints about any of the foods. Although, my Go-To is always a nice French toast or if I'm feeling something savory, a yummy sandwich. Other than my go-to order, my favorite thing is their style of potatoes. They are so yummy and flavorful & something different, other than the typical hash-brown style served in many other breakfast spots. They have plenty of seating options as they have expanded their location, but still get very busy so plan accordingly!

The food was better than I remember too! The churro platter was really good, especially with the dipping sauces. The chilaquiles was tasty. The green was on the tangy side just fyi. All the dishes were tasty and I would come back to try more items!

We got there without the usual long wait, which was a nice surprise! I ordered the Cali Toast with country potatoes and a Rose Latte, and everything was so good. The Cali Toast is one of my go to orders, and the Rose Latte is definitely worth trying if you're in the mood for something a little different. We sat outside, and the patio has such a relaxing vibe, perfect for lingering over coffee and good conversation. I've been coming here for years, and it's one of those places I always find myself coming back to. Great food, friendly service, and consistently a solid breakfast spot. If you're local and haven't been yet, you're missing out!

There is more outdoor seating on the covered patio than indoor seating. Both seating areas are nice. The lady who seated us was very friendly and pretty attentive and especially considering she wad handling a lot of other tables. Both the house eggs Benedict and house French toast were good. Was expecting crispy bacon on the benny considering the description, but the only difference from classic seemed to be the avocado. The benny egg and muffin were both collected well, especially the eggs they did a great job on those. Wife didn't like the flavor of the hollandaise sauce, but thought it was fine. She liked the French toast much better. You did not need syrup as the butter cream and chocolate sauce were plenty sweet on their own. Half serving is probably ok for one person, full was nice to share. The bathroom was clean, large, and single person--great for a pit stop before you head out! The mason jar waters were cool. Overall, nice local joint for a peaceful weekend or vacation breakfast. Definitely recommend giving them a try. Will be back sometime.

The food was underwhelming. It is unfortunate. I wanted it to be good as it was for a special occasion. The portions are small and again they focus on presentation and pretty dishes. I would have preferred a smaller menu. I would have liked to have a more flavorful meal. I had pancakes, bacon, and scrambled eggs. Bacon was not a good quality, super thin. Pancakes were less than average. They could have come out of a box. Eggs moist. My husband had chilaquiles and they were not appetizing at all. Small portion. Salsa was in a tiny plastic container and could have come out a jar. Coffee was good . This recommendation for the owners is to make it better so that it can be here for years to come. Simplify your menu. Review each recipe for flavor and portions. Maybe make a weekend brunch menu special and make it delicious. Try better quality ingredients. Spend less on presentation and ambiance. Make it taste better and people will come back again. Best of luck in the future.

Could not have been happier. From the moment we walked through the heavy wooden door (fancy!) until we left- the host, the waitress, server, manager and even the owner were amazingly attentive and welcoming. When it's your birthday they put a nice sign at your table and everyone stops by to wish you an amazing bday. They also check in to make sure you're having a good time and enjoying your delicious meal. Now for the food: fresh, al dente and tasty. All adjectives you want running through your mind after the first bitesss. We ordered stuffed mushroom- hot and nicely seasoned. Mushrooms not overcooked and stuffing not overly cheesy. The shrimp linguine another hit with fresh tomatoes and jumbo shrimp with a nice snap. The light seasoning with lots of garlic was just perfect. We also ordered the beef short ribs. My friend said it melted on her mouth and the fresh mash potatoes- just right. Did I mention the portions were huge! Lots of goodies to take with us. To add to the dining experience we watched as patrons steadily came and went throughout the evening. You can tell this is a favorite for many. There were High-5s, handshakes and lots of "Welcome back friends!" Just an overall beautifully decked out neighborhood restaurant with so much heart and soul. I heard that the restaurant has been handed down from their grandparents... I'm sure they would be very proud. Highly recommend.
