    Strawberry Pico Pollo Pancakes
    Briana N.

    Really great place to go to for your typical type of breakfast and brunch food! The service is awesome and we didn't have to wait when we went in for Saturday lunch. Besides having your typical breakfast staples, they also have a seasonal menu with some creative items! I got the strawberry pico pollo pancakes which reminded me of a mix of strawberry pancakes and tacos and also chicken and waffles. I was personally a big fan of this dish because I love combining savory and sweet. But I can see others not really liking it if they don't like this combo because the sweetness of the pancakes themselves with the red onion can be a bit weird. I was also a big fan of the portion sizes. Toasted yolk will get you real full, especially of you order the French toast.

    Woah baby, that line! We were so excited to get a breakfast/brunch place built right by us and apparently so was everyone else. Visited the Toasted Yolk very early on and the prices were a major slap in the face. Portions are decent but I'd almost expect more with the cost being so high. I had the eggs Benedict and they were alright. I've had better. The hash brown casserole is SO good. Service, I won't judge because we went so early on and I know the staff was still adjusting. Parking is a madhouse but I think everyone just fights for the closest spot. Restaurant is maintained and pleasant. The owner comes by and makes sure everything is good. A very kind man and I appreciate that he does this. I hope to go back for lunch and be pleasantly surprised.

    My husband and I have been trying a few different breakfast places as of late. Now, we tried this one when it first opened, and was not that happy with it, but we chalked it up to "being new..and still working out kinks". Sad to say, it has not improved! Now, we were going to use the waitlist online, but found out, it was less then 5 min, we did not. We got there after 8am on a Sunday, and was shocked to find, no line, and got seated right away. There was maybe like 5 other tables that were occupied at that time, which was surprising. The strangest thing was this busser guy standing against the windows on the left side like a statue, and just looking out at the dinning room. It seemed very creepy! LOL. Come to find out after we sat, and a table left, he was the bus boy, and went over and cleaned off the plates and wiped down the table, so fast, it was like watching the ball person at a tennis match, catching all the stray balls on the court. And, after the table was clean, he went back into the "still position" (like a ball person) against the window again. LOL Our waitress was very spry for early Sunday morning. We joked with her, as we saw the alcohol drinks on the menu, that we wish we could get one of these right now. She said "You can order one of those if you like". Ummm....we said, "No, we can't..it is Sunday and can't serve alcohol until 10am on Sunday (as we have experienced at other restaurants before)". She just laughed it off. We stuck to our coffees and waters. Now, my husband, LOVES his breakfast burritos (swear, he has tried one at any breakfast place we go)! So, he opted for it here. He asked the waitress, "Is it big?'. She replied, "Yes, it has 4 eggs in it" (*menu says 3 eggs). She asked if he wanted hash browns with that, he said "yes". Not realizing until it arrived, the "hash browns" was actually like a "hashbrown casserole" type thing. Now, he was also disspointed in the size of the burrito (see pic). It was not that big, and had this queso type sauce mixed with red sauce. It did have sausage it, but could barely taste it. I had a bite, and mostly egg and onion flavor. Now, I have seen at last few places I have been, a "Country Fried Steak", and like going to Italian places (and eating the Chicken Parm), this is usually a good test for a breakfast place on frying the steak and also the gravy. In this case, they both failed! Most place, at least the gravy was good, but this one did not have much taste at all. Then, the most sad, steak itself! Now, where most restaurants fail is the breading, and this one did, and just cutting into it (*which, by the way, would have been better with a steak knife, not just a butter knife). The breading just came right off, and tasted it by itself, and again, not much flavor. But, was dissappointed me the most, was the steak was over cooked and very tough! Now, if the reasons above was not bad enough, the waitress was hard to track down to get coffee refills. But, when I did, asked her if I could could just a get side of Sourdough toast. Five minutes later, I got a small plate with, what I determined, was wheat toast. It looked nice and toasted, but not what I wanted. She took it away, and brought out, what I think was just white bread (not sourdough), and worst part of all,,,the two pieces of bread was buttered and very soft...so soft I could fold it in half. There was not "toast" to it at all! It was not worth trying to track her down again, and trying again. I was now done. Sorry, Toasted Yolk, I will not be back! :(

    Delicious grits & flavorful sausage

    It is exciting to have another breakfast option in the Cedar Park / Leander area. The pancakes were light and fluffy! The grits were delicious and definitely my favorite part of the meal. Photos of the meal and the fun tea presentation included. Everything was so fresh and everyone was friendly.

    Lunch menu

    When my favorite nephew comes to town, we like to indulge his "try a new place" itch and the recently opened Toasted Yolk Cedar Park made the perfect brunch option for our family group. I joined the wait list online via web browser https://book.w8li.st/waitlist/the-toasted-yolk-cafecedar-park and we made our way out about 3 miles northwest of Brushy Creek Park on Parmer Lane (which becomes Ronald Reagan Blvd. in this part of Wilco). Despite being open for just a couple of weeks, the place was packed at 10:30a on a Sunday. Every available waiting seat in the small hostess area and outside the door was full. Luckily, our party's reservation came up immediately and we got straight to our table. Upon entry, we noticed the cute hand-painted artwork by Deanna Frye around the room and the full bar at the back of the open-concept dining area. Their motto is "It's never too early to get TOASTED," so if day drinking is your thing, do as thou wilt (within reason). The mimosa and spiked coffee drink menus are extensive; beer & wines, more limited. We had the "gourmet" coffee, which was just fine and served in a cute branded mug available for purchase. The breakfast food menu includes decadent pastries like churro donuts & waffles, as well as the usual egg-focused options like omelets, scrambles, and poached eggs Benedict variations that they call "Arnolds". For the sides, you have cheese grits and loaded hash browns, or fresh fruit. Meats include sausage patties, links, including turkey or chicken options, and applewood bacon. The lunch menu adds an assortment of sandwiches, soups, and salads to the mix. I feel like anyone with diet restrictions could find something to enjoy from the list. We ordered an assortment of offerings and all liked our food. Meals did seem a tad expensive to me (around $12-17 per meal, plus $4 each for bottomless coffee), but the portions were large and all ingredients seemed extremely fresh and high-quality. Our total bill for 4 diners before tip was $69, steep for breakfast on a regular basis, but okay for "once and a while" for us. Toasted Yolk reminds me of the many other brunch-themed chains that have been popping up in the last few years around town, albeit with a boozy, Texas twist. The company was founded in Houston in 2010 and recently ventured into the franchise business, with 27 locations around the South and as many more slated to open in 2023. Pro-tip: Sign up for their email club and get a free order of donuts at your next visit, as well as during your birthday month. A cool "give back" offering: medical professionals in uniform or with valid ID get half-off drinks Mon-Thu from 7a-10a; maybe this is a good perk after coming off the night shift?

    A cross between a sports bar and a breakfast bar. The Toasted Yolk has some delicious food. I had the pick 2, a half sandwich with a bowl of soup. I had the BLT and a bowl of chili. I thought both were scrumptious. The place seems pretty popular so there is a wait time. I sat at the bar, and met some new friends which was quite nice. Plus it made the time pass without me even realizing it. There are many drinks available to include coffee, juice, hot cocoa and even cocktails. Stop by the Toasted Yolk for breakfast or lunch and see for yourself what others have already come to know!

    I have been to Toasted Yolk in College Station numerous times and have been craving it for a while so I went to the Cedar Park location. Wasn't too busy on a Thursday morning, which meant I was seated right away. I had to get the churro donuts and the classic Eggs Benedict. Those are my go-to dishes here so didn't want to change that up. Great breakfast!!

    Looking for someplace new for Breakfast. So I headed to the Toasted Yolk. It says only an 28 minute drive but it felt longer. On a weekday it was not crowded, actually only two tables besides myself. My server was there to inquire what I'd like to drink. Coffee no cream and he disappeared. He did take a while getting back there, but I did get my coffee. It gave me time to look over their menu and decide what I wanted. I chose the two eggs breakfast deluxe. That included two eggs, breakfast meat, grits, or hash brown casserole, and a biscuit. Once he had that information, he disappeared again. For only a couple of people in the restaurant, the food seem to take a while to come out. It looks like the standard fair that I usually get at a breakfast restaurant. I must admit the bacon was crispy. The eggs were OK. May be a little over cooked for my liking. Grits were normal nothing special. And then there was the biscuits which was decent. The place remind me of an IHOP, or Denny's set up. Nothing fancy. The only thing they have that makes them stand out is alcohol for breakfast. If that's what you like this is the place to go. Once I finished breakfast, I looked around for my server so I can get the check and go. I finally spot him and waved my fingers so he knew I wanted him. The meal was a little over $16 before tip. That's when I decided OK I've been here once and that was enough. Food is OK but definitely pricey and the drive was too long.

    ***Service*** 4 of us arrived slightly after 2:30pm and they close at 3pm. Our server Tristan did not rush us at all! It was our first time here, the menu is overwhelming and Tristan was every bit of patient with us. This was much appreciated. He helped us by making recommendations and explaining some parts of the menu to us. He was very attentive and had a great sense of humor. Everyone else was very nice. Even the owner Ron stopped by our table to check on us, and we ended up sharing some laughs with him. Service here was great! ***Food*** Everyone enjoyed their food, pancake was huge and amazing! The fried chicken sandwich was delicious, the chicken tortilla soup was good. My omelet was just as I ordered it, the only thing I didn't like was their hash brown /potatoes. Definitely looking forward to trying so many other things on thei ***Bottomline*** I will keep coming back to try out their expansive menu.

    I'd say that we are now regulars here. My husband and I love to get their club sandwich and Reuben. We could do without their so so fries, nothing unique about them, so I'd recommend another option of side. Other than that, all was good. I must admit that the kitchen needs to be consistent with the corned beef, the sandwich for the price should be a meaty sandwich. The first time I had it, I barely saw the layered meat. But I loved it so much that I wanted to give them a second chance. It was much better. No complaints on the club sandwich.

    Granola Apple French Toast
    Jeneane D.

    Such a clutch breakfast spot! If you can, get on their waitlist asap! We went on a Saturday morning and it was pretty busy, but tables were turning over quickly. With the waitlist, our table was ready when we got there. We ordered the Granola Apple French Toast and different types of eggs Benedict's. I got the Alaskan Arnold and it was so good! I liked that their menu has plenty of drinks and breakfast items to choose from, from shrimp and grits to breakfast tacos to French toasts! We can't wait to go back once we visit Austin again!

    I ordered the Apple granola French toast. It was a lot bigger than I expected. The apples were cooked well and flavorful. I'm just not a fan of cooked fruit. The French toast was pretty good. I wished it came with syrup but I guess that's what the apples and granola were there for. The server was attentive and our food came out pretty quickly. It was pretty busy for a Saturday morning but we were seated right away. Both of my friends finished their meals and I took mine to go.

    Do they serve lunch menu items all day?

    Yes, breakfast and lunch can be served all day.

    Is this a good place for 8-10 mid morning on a Saturday?

    Take advantage of the Waitlist. The property is quite large. I have not been exactly at that time. Cedar Park is a bit lazy to wake up so the closer to eight the better.

The breakfast potatoes were pretty good after adding salt and pepper and the bacon was the best thing out of what we got. It was flavorful. Overall, not impressed with this place.

The biscuits were amazing, and both the spinach omelette and the over‑easy egg were cooked perfectly. The whole place felt bright, clean, and relaxed. Our server, Malcom, was fantastic and really made the visit stand out. The coffee was solid too, and it looks like they've got plenty of gluten‑free options. We'll definitely be back to check out their brunch.

New items! How exciting: I had not been here for a couple of months. This time I decided to try their matcha- it comes topped with a chocolate pistachios cream (this was a bit too much for me, my daughter liked it) and the matcha was also too sweet for me, but very flavorful. For our main dish I ordered the shrimp and grits, and my daughter ordered biscuits and gravy. My dish had 4 small shrimp (which I ate) a lot of anduille sausage bits, and a lot of flavorful sauce over these soupy cheesy grits that was not what I expected. It was served as a "soup" with a spoon. There was some toasted bread on the side of the bowl. While everything was very flavorful, I did not like the soupy consistence, it was unexpected for me. My daughter's biscuits and gravy, on the other hand, needed more gravy... she liked the dish but she felt her gravy was too little for the serving. Then she also ordered a half order (1) pancake with cinamon roll French toast and we took that home. It had good flavor! Overall, I enjoyed the food, the flavors were good, the prices have definitely gone up a LOT. 3 stars for good flavor as expected- but I was not "blown away"... but yes of course I would come again! Enjoy!

Plenty of menu options as well. The staff are warm, welcoming, and accommodating (we came with a group of 6 and they got us situated right away). The space is small (which I find very nice), there is indoor and covered/shaded outdoor seating available. And I love the decor! Overall, highly recommend!

My husband ordered their burrito, which came with chips and a cheese dip on the side. Their shrimp was good; nothing special. I did ask to try aleida's sauce, which many people liked on yelp, but we liked their green sauce the most! Overall, very cute and colorful restaurant; loved all the decor. The outdoor patio, where we sat, was covered and nice, until it started pouring hard outside. Not a super authentic latin restaurant. No complimentary chips and salsa. My taco wasn't worth more than $5, tbh, and we paid close to $9..given it was shrimp, but we've had much better shrimp tacos elsewhere for less. I wish I had a photo of my poor taco, but I totally forgot to take a picture :/

Their mission is to provide employment for adults with special needs and their profits support a vocational program to empower local citizens. When you first enter the building, you see a shop with lots of beautifully crafted and interesting products. Lots to shop here, although prices are high which then again, part of the proceeds go into a good cause and the products are well made. The cafe is located at the back of the shop. We spent a little time browsing the shop before going to the cafe. The cafe itself is so welcoming and spacious! Not a great ton of seating available but there's outdoor seating area with turf, which I can see is a huge plus when cooler weather arrives. I love the signs on the wall, very motivating sayings and quotes. For food, I had the avocado toast with bacon and fried egg and an espresso. It was delicious! Price point was good and food came out hot and fresh. I noticed when we were there, the lady at the counter (presumably the manager) was addressing the patrons by name, which was such a nice touch to see. It feels like this place really cares for their customers and is an established place in the local community. Parking is free and ample spaces available when we went there on a Friday morning. I like this place so much I ended up bringing my family there the following week. Support a good cause and eat a nutritious meal at the same time. Go visit!

    (I am not from San Francisco, don't know how or why Yelp says I am, and I am unable to change it,…read morefor now...Kelly from Texas) I'm pushing 80 now. I grew up near Pasadena, where we had burger joints named Chuck Wagon. This is 70 years ago. Chuck Wagon had what I still consider to be my favorite hamburger. That's what I was weaned on, and spent a fraction of my younger years growing quite fond of. You know how it is, I bet. There was that sandwich shop, or hangout where they got to knowin' you. You always got that comfortable vibe from the folks there... and they had the absolute best Texas Hamburgers a child could want. Well, I went back there today...in my mind I'm talkin' about...not "actually" went back to the Chuck Wagon. I stopped by Texas Toast Breakfast and Burgers, ordered a Traditional Burger and fries, and took a bite. I swear to goodness every taste bud that remembered the Chuck Wagon burgers just stood up and said, "Where the heck am I." I'm bettin' that those of you who are of a certain age know exactly what I'm talkin' about....somethin' so good and so important in your life as that Chuck Wagon burger was in mine. It might be Grandma's cast iron skillet biscuits, or the chicken fried steak at the Volunteer Fire Department fundraiser. For me...today...it was that Traditional Burger at Texas Toast Breakfast and Burger.

While it was a bit of a far drive, it was well worth it to have breakfast at Texas Toast Breakfast and Burgers with these friends. I had no expectations of what to expect (first time diner), so I was starting from ground zero. First impression...this was a neighborhood café with down home cooking. The restaurant had a small town, country, and laid-back vibe...no pretense, just warm and welcoming. As I got out of my car, I could smell the wafts of something good happening in the kitchen. Our server was friendly and immediately offered us water. She gave us adequate time to place our orders and checked on us pretty frequently. She was attentive while also giving us the right amount of space. Why do this neighborhood café have a 4.8 rating? Hands the food! My friends ordered the Chicken Fried Steak Plate (including three over easy eggs, hash browns, and of course, Texas toast) and two breakfast tacos. I ordered the chicken and waffles. Did I die and go to food heaven? The waffles were firm on the exterior and soft and flavorful inside. So, so good! My friends were pleased their meals also. My friends meal came with Texas toast, which she gave to me. It was yummy! I did not eat it all since I was carb-loading with waffles. Would I dine at Texas Toast Breakfast & Burgers again? Absolutely!!!
