    We recently tried The Toasted Yolk Cafe for the first time on a weekday. The place wasn't busy, but the service was slow. Maybe they were short-staffed that day. Once we received our order, everything was tasty. I ordered The Yolk Lover's Breakfast with the French Toast. The bacon was good and crispy. We also had the Breakfast Burrito. My husband enjoyed it, but said the hash brown casserole was "just ok". The place is bright and open, with plenty of natural light. We didn't get to try any of the bar options, but we will go back and try one of the "Brunchin' Coffees" or other bar options soon.

    Two pancakes, two scrambled eggs, two crispy bacon.

    Great food and service. No wait time. Servers were very hospitable. Great for couples, family with children and medium size groups.

    Don't go here. Stay away! I walked in and was greeted by a hostess who seated me at a booth. Since I am new to the area I decided to ask her questions about the newly development of businesses in this area primarily food spots. I politely asked her to sit down to just have a couple of words. She sat and I asked a couple of questions. About the area. Then, within 10 seconds of the conversation the "manager" walks up and points to the front door and says to her I need you back at your station. She excused herself and he walked away. Didn't say anything to me and left me just hanging. I got his attention and he became very unreasonable. He told me that I was demanding. I grabbed my laptop and walked out. There is more going on behind the scenes at this location. If you eat here you are consuming negative energy and probably low quality food. Stay away, protect your spirit and eat to live.

    I recently visited The Toasted Yolk Cafe and had a pretty mixed experience. They don't take reservations, so we added ourselves to the waitlist about 45 minutes before arriving. Even with that, we still had to wait about 30 minutes after checking in to be seated. It was very packed and loud, which made the wait feel even longer. Once seated, service was very slow. We waited around 15 minutes before our waitress brought waters or introduced herself. We started with sangrias and the churro-style donuts. The donuts were comped for signing up for promotional emails and were really good, especially with the caramel sauce!! For entrees, I ordered the Yolk Lovers Breakfast with hashbrown casserole and a pancake, and my friend got the Double Decker Omelette. Once the food finally arrived, it was actually very delicious -- everything was flavorful and cooked well. That said, we arrived at 1:30 and didn't leave until around 3:30, and the long wait times throughout the experience just aren't worth it to me. Parking is available on the street and in the deck behind the restaurant, which was convenient. Overall, good food but the wait and slow service make it unlikely that I'll return.

    This past Saturday, I had the pleasure of going to The Toasted Yolk Cafe. This place really impressed me from the time I walked in the door to the time I left. Walking in, the place was booming and busy, but we were seated within minutes. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. I loved the painted walls they had a mural-like feel to them. The staff was great. I sat and observed everyone for a while, including the owner and two managers, and man, what a great team. This is a fantastic Black-owned business that deserves to be packed every day I mean, a line out the door! Now, let's get into the food. Since this is a brunch place, I naturally had to order from both menus! The first dish I ordered was the bacon cheeseburger. Let me start off by saying you get what you pay for here. The prices are reasonable and affordable, and the portion sizes are huge! Now, back to the burger this thing was massive and juicy, even with it being cooked well-done (my fault, I didn't specify medium-well). It was still good nonetheless. Not much more to say about it, but that's not a bad thing. The burger gets the job done. Solid 8/10. The cheese grits, y'all, were so good a perfect blend of cheese and creaminess. Each bite had that slight black pepper kick. I cleared that bowl in seconds. My only complaint was that it needed just a pinch more salt, which I added myself. Whoever the "big mama" in the back is with the flabby arm stirring the pot I appreciate you so much! 9.5/10. The breakfast burrito was freaking massive, man. When it hit the table, I was in utter disbelief. It was stuffed with everything the eggs were cooked perfectly, it was filled with cheese on the inside, and smothered with queso and salsa on top. What more could you ask for? All the flavors were there, but the downside was that it needed more seasoning. The eggs especially needed a bit of salt and pepper. That's the only reason I'd give it an 8/10 as well. As you can see, none of the food was bad at all. The only thing that held it back was the slight and I mean slight under-seasoning. Please go support this place ASAP. P.S. My grandmother ordered the biscuits and gravy, and it was absolutely loaded. She loved it and said she could tell the biscuits were homemade.

    I really like this new spot! Decided to try it out for lunch and it was great option. It was Friday and busy but sure the $5.50 mimosa contributed to this. The environment is very inviting and very nicely decorated. I love the wall art and should have taken more pictures. The service we received was good and very quick. I went with the club sandwich which is one of my favorite meals and it was delightful. I was able to try the Southern Fried Chicken Arnold (Egg Benedict) as well and it was also very tasty. I would give them a high rating because we left full and satisfied!

    Shrimp and Grits

    My first visit to this establishment . If you plan on going be prepared to find a parking spot. There is not an enough spots for street parking so, we parked in the parking garage. When we got toe the restaurant, we ere greeted. The inside is colorful and ambiance was just right. The server was nice and helpful. There was a good selection to choose from on the menu. I had the shrimp and grits. Grits were cheesy and the shrimp was cooked just right. We enjoyed our brunch .

    BUTTERMILK PANCAKES

    Keep in mind the restaurant opened on 07-14-25 & today is 07-20-25. They have not been open a week and this is there first Sunday being open. Give them some grace. With that being said: Joined waiting list as a party of 4 at 10:20 a.m. at # 20 on the list. Arrived at the restaurant at approximately 10:44 a.m. and checked in. Seated at approximately 11:20 a.m. Nice ambiance/aesthetic. 11:35 a.m. our server Alexis finally arrives at our table and then says she needs another minute or so. She came back around 11:37 a.m. She took our drink order. When she came back with the drink order we placed our order for everything. Appetizer: DONUTS "CHURRO STYLE" Very good! We all enjoyed it. The caramel sauce is the star of the dish. ENTREES: DOUBLE DECKER OMELETTE: This is what I ordered. It was pedestrian in appearance and taste. I enjoyed my side of cheese grits. My biscuit did not appear to fresh. SOUTHERN FRIED ARNOLD: My youngest daughter thought it tasted good but wished the chicken would have been crispier. She enjoyed her side of cheese grits. She enjoyed her iced caramel macchiato. BRISKET SCRAMBLE: My wife ordered this. She was disappointed in the presentation. She said it looked sloppy. She enjoyed the dish. She did not like her side cheese grits. Too much peppercorn for her. Also, she did not receive her biscuit that should have come with the meal. BUTTERMILK PANCAKES & SIDE OF PATTY SAUSAGE: My oldest daughter thought the pancakes were fluffy and good. They are huge. (Be prepared to share or go ahead and get your to go box ready.) She thought the sausage was microwaved and thrown on the plate.

    Excellent food, calm vibes. We both got a pancake (included) with our Yolk Lovers plate. I got ham and cheese grits, hubby got regular grits. Waitress was very attentive, manager proactive and helpful down to our receipt and payment methods. We appreciated the patience which is needed more nowadays. Will plan to make another stop real soon!

    Love the coffee cups

    Went here for breakfast. My friend a I were treated very well. In fact we had three different waiters so well lol. The vide was perfect for brunch. Coffee was on point. The music was pleasant too.

    Blueberry donuts

    Was in the downtown area and came across this place for brunch and it was a pleasant surprise. There was a crowd after Sunday service but I sat at the bar and the bartender was great. We had Mimosas and she let us try a green tea shot made with Jameson and it was delicious. My husband enjoyed the turkey Reuben and I had an egg white omelette that was tasty.

    Brisket Scramble
    Portia H.

    9 out of 10 would recommend. The brisket scrambled was delicious. Service was amazing. I will definitely be back.

With that being said, I'm almost positive the serving size you get for each order is normal/average, BUT i always have a large appetite, especially after a workout. This cafe is located within the gym. You can get a variety of foods such as sandwiches salads, noodle bowls, etc. You can also get a variety of smoothies, protein shakes, supplements, etc. They also have pre made meals that you can grab and go if you don't have the seven minutes it takes to prepare you meal. I ordered the soba noodle bowl with cilantro avocado slaw. It's a bit spicy but i'd say that spice is more for the flavor and not unbearable, i don't like spicy at all but i'll tolerate this. The noodle bole includes low mean noodles, peanuts, red pepper flakes and can add chicken for an additional charge. It's right around $9.00 and again, for the amount of food, i'd probably want to just go to a restaurant and pick up take out so i wouldn't be hungry after the meal.

    This is Life time's onsite cafe, and it is open to members and non-members. They serve a variety of…read moresmoothies- protein shakes as well as healthy fruit smoothies and juices. They have a wide selection of protein bars as well as other healthy meals for breakfast and lunch that you can pick up on the go. They provide you with calorie counts and nutritional content on most of their foods. This is a great place to stop by after your work out, and they also have free wifi if you want to sit around and work on your laptop. The staff is very friendly and will help you out with substitutions on your meals or smoothies if you ever need any.
