    SGV passport brand us to dine in. Apparently there are 6 locations with a new one coming in 2027 MPK! Ordered the free item in our passport selected the original benedict. Ordered berry french toast. Both were super great! Big portion and beautifully plated. I don't usually eat french toast but theirs was crunchy and loved the added whip cream, blueberries and strawberries. We even had leftovers to take home. Glad we were reminded to keep going to this place.

    Eggs benedict florentine

    We waited about a half hour for a table (there is a waitlist you have to check into on an iPad at the restaurant, which gives you live updates, we waited it out at the library down the street). Worth the wait! I loved the variety of brunch dishes, some combinations that were rather unique and I hadn't seen before like a kimchi butter fried chicken eggs benedict. I got the Nashville fried chicken eggs benedict like it seems everyone does and it met the hype! The home fries were lightly crisped to perfection. The service was good as well, they came and refilled waters often. Our lychee sangria was pretty sweet but was really refreshing in this heat. Not too loud so you can have a nice chat with friends. There is free 4 hour parking in Lot 2 Parking Garage across the street.

    Kimchi Butter Fried Chicken Benedict and Avocado Benedict

    Delicious egg benedict breakfasts here! I got the new Kimchi Butter Fried Chicken Benedict and it was tasty and good. The fried chicken was crispy and wasn't dry with good kimchi flavor as well as a generous portion of real kimchi. The english muffin used was soft and the hollandaise sauce was tasty and saucy. The poached egg was good too, but a little overcooked. It came with a side of crispy country fried potatoes and a fresh salad which was a nice combo. Balanced and delicious breakfast! To dine-in, you order and pay at the counter and they give you a number and you will be delivered the food where you sit at. My friends and I went on a Saturday morning, so it was a bit busy. We had to wait a bit to order, but it wasn't too long. The interior is pretty neat and clean. Also dog friendly. No outdoor seating. For parking, there's free covered parking structures in the area. Overall, I had a good experience here and I would dine at this chain again!

    Kimchi Butter Fried Chicken Benedict

    Visited popping yolk for Saturday brunch. Wait time was ~15 minutes at 10am. You order at the cashier, pay, and place your number on the table. We shared a long table with another party of three. Here's what we ordered: Drinks Fresh squeezed orange juice Mango tea (refillable) Food Kimchi butter fried chicken Benedict Norwegian Benedict House French toast The Benedicts were served with roasted potato cubes and a small side salad. The French toast was topped with blueberries and sliced strawberries. The food was delicious. Each entree was nicely presented. Servers refilled our water cups often which was much appreciated on a hot summer day. We were also offered a refill of mango tea to go, which we gladly accepted. Staff were hospitable and attentive. We utilized our SGV passports which covered our entrees. What a deal!

    Should refill

    This is nestled on Main Street. It is a walk up and order, where you find a table to sit down. If some tables needs to be cleaned, please waive down a worker and they will clean the table for you. The eggs benedicts is a must try. It is cooked perfect. Additionally, everything was cooked perfectly. You won't be let down. A great place for a meet up with your friends early morning.

    Ube French Toast
    Taryn B.

    The food was out of this world! The ube stuffed French toast was perfection ~ crispy on the outside with just the right amount of filling on the inside. It was nice and quiet inside so could enjoy conversation with my friend.

    Valerie H.

    Solid brunch restaurant with a ton of options. We ordered an eggs Benedict and crepe. Loved the potatoes that came with the eggs Benedict! Coffees are pretty good as well. Ordering is at the front of the restaurant and you can pick any available table. There's plenty of free parking in the garages.

    Front entrance
    Harris A.

    Was in the area looking for a good breakfast spot. I lucked out and found an amazing one. As soon as I walked in, was greeted by staff and was told about the menu. You order at the register and then take a number to sit down. Luckily, there is a picture book of most the dishes you can look at to decide. They do offer a lot of great options for breakfast. The food came out fresh, delicious and will have to go back to try another dish. Nice atmosphere, was mostly families and couples dining and enjoying the great food.

    Classic Benedict
    Sophie T.

    Came here due the SGV passport and ordered Nashville hot eggs Benedict. WOW what a huge plate of food with salad and crispy potatoes. Upon entering you order and pay 1st and get a number for the table. Food came out fast. Will return to try other items on the menu. Parking was easy on the street or in the structure behind. The place was clean and simple. The service was excellent with them asking to refill waters and asking if we need anything more. Definitely returning again.

    Potted plant latte
    Ericka B.

    This might be a new favorite brunch spot for me! Their portions are also pretty big so can't go wrong with that. I got the Nashville hot chicken Benedict and it was soooo good I would get it again! Also got to try the bacon jam burger and that was flavorful and was on the sweeter side due to the jam but definitely didn't disappoint. For our drinks, the mango iced green tea was refreshing and refillable (awesome) and the potted plant latte was super cute and glad it tasted pretty good. Parking was not too bad at all as I just found free street parking just a block over. I love the vibes of this restaurant plus the service was great! Definitely add Popping Yolk to your must visit brunch spot if you're ever in LA :)

    4/16/26 Classic Benedict, English muffin was a bit tough
    Jennifer W.

    3.7 stars but will grant a 4 4/16/26 I heard the Ube French Toast here is a MUST try here, we sure did and it's Hubby Approved. Cute airy atmosphere, friendly service, good food! The set up: you order up front, pay, take a number & find yourself a table & food will be delivered to you. Easy peasy! Hubby ordered the Classic Benedict & of course I ordered the star of the show- Ube French Toast (Ube condensed milk & coconut flakes on the side). Additionally, I ordered a side of grilled chicken. Alexis, the order taker brought our dishes separately & Hubby cannot wait so he dug right in before mine arrived. I know it's not intentional, but I noticed that bigger table (6 patrons) had arrived after we did and they received their food very shortly and all at the same time. Not digging that. In any case, my food finally came & the anticipation was tingly. It's the best part, the toasts were crispy crunchy on the outside & moist on the inside-- so good! Well balanced sweetness, I had control over how much ube condensed milk was poured- that's a plus. Hubby didn't like the muffin of his eggs Benedict because he said it was "tough & stale" but the potatoes & eggs were good. We finished off the French toast in a heartbeat. Background music was too loud for our taste (and ears) to enjoy brunch, the aesthetics were on point. Parking is very tricky, so glad we found one a block away (free city parking structure). It's worth returning for the one French toast.

    Spinach Omelette
    Rosa R.

    Enjoyed breakfast with family today. Ordered and shared this spinach, omelette, added ham, which was delicious. Love that the salad is side, light and refreshing. Good customer service.

    Madeline Q.

    Decided to come here for the first time for breakfast and may be the last, or at least will not be ordering anything with bacon or breakfast potato's. Ordered the traditional breakfast and got the worst cuts of low quality, overcooked bacon pieces. The potato's tasted like they had been sitting in grease for a while. They felt more like crispy oily chips, than actual potato's. If I'm paying $20+ for breakfast, it would be great to get fresh quality food.

    Ask the Community - Popping Yolk Cafe

    Will the new location in Ontario ranch offer any gluten free options?

    How many outdoor patio tables?

    They have a back patio area. I counted 5 (2-4 ppl per table) under the ceiling and another 4-5 tables under the tarp they have to protect from water or sun. You can put them together depending your group size.

    Do they have gluten free options?

    No ...

    Can I get decaf for the any of the latte drinks?

    Yes, you can

    If we have a party of 9, do we need to make a reservation?

    You can add your name when you arrive. The entire party needs to be there before you are seated. They can page you when a table is available. We had nine people and waited a little over an hour.

    Is outdoor dining still available on weekdays?

    Hi Chix, Thank you for asking, outdoor seating is currently only open during the weekends.

    Do you guys do anything special for birthday's?

    Nope

    Can they accommodate a big party size? Maybe in their outdoor patio?

    NO! I thought the same and was very disappointed.

    Do they take reservations?

    Hi Cydnee, Unfortunately, we don't offer reservations.

    Do you offer a dairy free substitute for your lattes?

    Yes! They have almond milk as their substitute

    Anyone has the current menu?

    Check out their website! https://poppingyolk.com/

    Is it dog friendly?

    There's actually an outdoor patio in the back!

    How busy does it get? What times are the least busy?

    I went there once about 11:30 and it was not busy. I guess that it won't be busy until 12 or later because it is lunch time and because it is a new business.

Since this place is right next to Yum Long Chinese restaurant, it was the perfect little dessert stop after lunch. Hubby and I shared the crème brûlée pancake and an espresso smoothie, and both were delicious! The pancake was incredibly fluffy and airy, with that light, sponge-like texture you want from a good Japanese soufflé pancake. I also really liked that the sauces weren't overwhelmingly sweet, so the dessert didn't feel heavy or sugary. The espresso smoothie was another pleasant surprise--creamy, flavorful, and with a nice coffee kick that paired perfectly with the pancake. Overall, a really satisfying way to finish the night. If you're already in the area for dinner at Yum Long, definitely save some room for dessert!!!!

There were only couple of customers at that time, it wasn't busy at all. We started with two appetizer items first. Takoyaki had decent filling but they were so over fried. Seafood gyoza was decent though. Then we had their most popular dish, the mango premium soufflé pancakes. It took them almost half an hour to prepare the dish, which they notified us when we were ordering. The dish came with a towering soft pancake, half of an actual mango, some whipped cream, mango cream and a scoop of mango ice cream, all for a price of $18. I loved this dish so much, it's a dream dish for any mango lover. Staff members were friendly at the store. Despite not being busy, I saw multiple of them in the store, some working in the kitchen and others taking care of customers in dining area. Overall a really good place to try out some world class soufflé pancakes, with delicious sides.

I liked the pics on Yelp and so finally got to try it for brunch this week, and boy is this place GOOD! Parking can be a drag even on a weekday mid-morning despite there being a good amount of parking spots on the entire block. That was a hassle. Once I found something, I went into the place, which is a small breakfast joint - not divey or anything, but also not particularly decorated. Didn't really matter though. The star for me were the pancakes. I got the blueberry pancakes, a side of bacon, a side of their breakfast potatoes, and a glass of fresh lemonade. The lemonade was good and clearly made fresh in-house, I think. The bacon was good, but bacon is always good. The potatoes were nicely seasoned, which was good because lately I've tried way too many breakfast places with bland, sad potatoes. Not here. The pancakes were amazing. They are super fresh and fluffy and served with an amazing cookie butter syrup. It may sound sweet, but it's not overly so. I honestly think these are some of the best pancakes I've had in many years in all of Los Angeles. They were honestly that good. And, I don't usually rave about pancakes very often. Service was friendly, attentive, and accommodating. The place was doing a good amount of business considering I went when most people should be in school or work and too early for lunch. I highly recommend you try this place at least for breakfast, though they also serve lunch. It's a real gem, and I can't wait to go back!

    The food was decent. Spam was deep fried or something. I prefer it fried in a frying pan. It wasn't…read morethe best. The Portuguese sausage was my favorite. The best I've had in so cal so far. I'd come back just for that. Loco moco was ok. Mac Nut pancake was ok. The sauce was more like a custard and I thought it would be a Mac nut whipped cream. Rice was good. No OJ was weird, so I got a soda. The service could use a little work. Train up your stuff and don't just hire anybody. Cashier was borderline rude and just not that helpful. As she was taking my order she stopped to spit out her gum. Shouldn't be chewing gum. Violation! The menus were beat up and I had to find them. Outdoor seating was ok, could use some rearranging. Not sure why there was a guy working on a greasy low boy near the outdoor seating. It's got a family chill vibe for sure. Decor is dated but it's ok. Doesn't really remind me of Hawaii but at least they tried.
