We recently had brunch / lunch at The Toasted Yolk Cafe. We hit up the location at 10915 Baymeadows, just west of 295 in the shopping center with Winn-Dixie. I ordered from the Dynamic Duo (sandwich & soup combo) menu. I picked the Reuben and Chicken Tortilla Soup because it's been a minute since I've had either. The Reuben was good with my one critique being that I could've used a little more Thousand Island on it. The soup was good as well and not too spicy. I always order Chicken Tortilla and hope for the best because I've had it swing way past my threshold for heat but this didn't. It has a kick for sure but not too bad. My wife ordered the Hot Honey Chicken & Yolk Biscuit Sandwich. She really liked it with the biscuit itself exceeding what she expected. Like me, her only small issue with that she liked that hot honey so much, she would've liked a little more on it. That's something she knows to ask for next time though, so no biggie. We sat at the bar and service was great from everyone we interacted with. This was out third time here since they opened. My wife pointed out that she liked her first visit and this one better than the second. She had a regular platter the second time, so she thinks sticking with their specialties is the best way to go.

First, I have to start with Andre our server, wow, top-notch server for sure! His attention to detail, knowledge of the menu, and his ability to make the customer feel they are the most important goes beyond reproach! He's a true role models for others to admire to. I will start with the cheese grits first, OMG they are truly the best cheese I have ever eaten, hands-down! Thick, full of cheese, and a right amount of seasoning made these absolutely perfect. I could have bathed in these grits! The pancakes were excellent. I'm not sure what their recipe is, but the flavor was outstanding. You really did not need syrup. They were cooked to perfection as were the eggs and my vegetarian scrambler. Truly made to perfection. The toasted yolk café should be very proud to have Andre on their team and he should serve as a role model for others. read more

I absolutely love Toasted Yolk Cafe. I've been back at least six times since it opened, and it's become one of my go-to weekend brunch spots--whether it's with the girls or a brunch date with my husband. I'm obsessed with all the Eggs Benedict (Arnold) options, especially the West Coast Arnold. Everything is consistently delicious, and the Cajun ranch sauce is absolutely to die for. It's the kind of place you keep coming back to because you know you'll leave happy every time. read more

Service was quick and the place is cute. I do think it's too hot in fl to leave the doors to your restaurant open and there were some flies flying around. They have lots of options and the food was tasty. I got a spritz which was good albeit they did bring me the wrong one. I ordered the yuzu but got the strawberry. Sweet and tasty. We ordered a half order of cinnamon donuts. Tasty hot and went well with the cinnamon. One of us got the sammich and I got the southern Arnold. Both hot fresh and. The gravy also had good flavor. Eggs cooked well a ton of food so sharing is totally possible also. I would def go back and try new things. read more

Food is excellent, service was terrible. Had to ask for things multiple times, food came out in waves and not all together with items still missing. We had young kids in our group that were hungry and ordered for them first but somehow the adult meals came out before the kids. The restaurant is super cute and fun environment for brunch but hoping the next time we visit, service is more on top of things. read more

Husband absolutely loved his fried chicken Benedict. The chicken was crispy and flavorful, the gravy was good, the eggs were perfect. My brisket scramble was just ok. About half was left on the table. The biscuit is dry but is great with gravy. The cheesy grits were great while they were hot. We also tried a mimosa and a spiked cold brew. I couldn't tell there was vodka in the cold brew, so it could have just been coffee, but it was good. We liked that there are options for the mimosa juice. Husband got pineapple for one and apple for the other and loved them. The service was kind of slow but not horrible. We went on. Sunday morning and there were a ton of jags fans getting fueled up before the game. Music was light and fun. read more

I enjoyed my breakfast at The Toasted Yolk Cafe. I was pleasantly surprised to find this place in the Baymeadows areas. I'm not sure how long it's been open, but the inside looked newly renovated. The color of the inside is pretty fun. They really took it to another level with the color green throughout the inside. They really should consider adding a green eggs and ham dish to the menu lol. Moving on, the breakfast was really lovely. The pancakes were slightly sweet which I loved. I didn't have to use syrup. The grits and omelet were also good. The grits had a unique taste I couldn't exactly figure out, but they were pretty good. Maybe it was the cheese. For a Saturday, there was no long wait time if you wanted to brunch inside. This time I took my food to go, but I would like to come back and maybe enjoy some other items on the menu. read more

The Toasted Yolk Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

A had some free time in between errands so I decided to come here for some brunch. I got here within the noon o'clock hour and the place was pretty lively. The servers all wear lime green or pink shirts and even though it wasn't that busy inside they were all over the place. Since it was just me I sat at the bar. Looks like they have looks like the have a full bar with beer, wine, liquor, etc. Several servers checked in on me as they were helping others before they came to take my order. I ordered their Sangria to start which was was the Spanish Sangria in the orange-labeled bottle with extra fruit. I wanted the Yolkwich but I decided to get the Alaskan Arnold (Two English muffin halves topped with salmon, spinach, two poached eggs, and Hollandaise sauce) with grits. More protein. One of the servers brought me my check already before my food came out. She said "No rush, it's just a requirement". It bothered me at first but I get it. The Alaskan Arnold came out and it looked delicious. It was sitting up pretty high on the english muffins due to the salmon pieces and they used more sauce than what I'm used to but I was fine with that. It was perfect! the salmon was cooked all the way through and the egg was yolky. Definitely satisfying. read more

Shrimp and grits were great! That is what I had My friend said cowboy scramble was 3.5 stars Other two friends had burritos and said they were 3 and 4 stars. It's Sunday and they had tvs for football which was nice! Ambiance on a Sunday morning was great not the church crowd. Service was fine, the auction off plates which was kind of annoying but not gonna knock points off because service was good! read more

The Toasted Yolk Cafe - Chicken and biscuits with hash brown casserole - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

Food was very good and service was fast and friendly. Went in on a Sunday morning and it was busy but we got in quick!

The churro donuts are amazing! Fresh, hot, sugary and crunchy on the outside and aoft on the inside. Definitely recommend. I really ejoyed the hashbrown casserole and would have loved to try it woth all the toppings. We enjoyed the shrimp and grits and the brisket casserole. Wasn't a big fan of their southwest bowl though. Definitely thought it would benefit from more veggies and was spicier than I'd like but other than than the spiciness, i didnt really get too much more flavors. read more

When I walked it I was immediately welcomed by the manager Tyler! I sat at the bar, and I ordered the Yolkwich, I did avocado instead of tomato! And Tyler made me a Carmel macchiato which you recommended. And it was absolutely delicious. My sandwich was very good too. It's very vibrant and open in here. I would definitely go back with the group of my friends. I would recommend this place to anyone. It was very delicious and I feel like Well well priced for the amount of food you got. read more

Food was great, and customer service was great. Our waitress Liz was cool. Will be back read more

The food was ok honestly my eggs Benedict was hard and over cooked I could barely cut into it. The hash brown casserole was literally the size of my palm and tasted a little old. The restaurant was EMPTY and we still had to wait a long time for our food. Our server barely came and checked on us either. read more

The service is top notch. Thank goodness for breakfast place so close. McKenzie was our server-sweet, knew the menu and had some great recommendations. We will be back. read more

We've been to Toasted Yolk in Biloxi, MS several times and had such a great experience that we were excited when the Jacksonville location opened. Sadly, after two visits in the last couple of weeks, it hasn't lived up to that same standard. Both times, it took at least 25 minutes before anyone came to our table, and on each visit food items were forgotten or left off our order. Even when walking in, there was a noticeable wait before being acknowledged, which made it feel like the restaurant may be understaffed. This is very different from the Biloxi location, which is always busy yet incredibly efficient and well-run. I truly believe the Jax location has potential and could benefit from learning from the Biloxi team. I hope improvements are made because I'd love to be able to recommend this location in the future. read more

Great service and delicious food. Cinnamon Donuts are a must try Very convenient to the interstate and easy to find. Not too bury during a Saturday morning/brunch. read more

We went there on a Tuesday morning about 7:30 and there was only one other table. I'm not sure why they're not busy or the food was great the service was outstanding. I loved my quesadillas breakfast it was fabulous. The hash brown casserole was as good as I make it home. The pancake was really good too surprised at hell light and fluffy and a little sweet. Will definitely return! read more

Fast, good, and Andre took great care of us. We've been here several times and the staff is always pleasant

Breakfast food should be easy to get right well that's not true. My eggs tasted like powered eggs, the bacon was so salty, the grits weren't edible, the fountain coke was flat and the waffle was hard and tasteless. I really wanted this place to be my go to breakfast spot so disappointing!! read more

Restaurant had only just been opened at this location. It was nothing special. The bartender was not in yet, so the manager made our Bloody Mary. He would never make be able to make a living being a bartender! Service was OK. Food was OK. Think we will try again after they have been open after 6 months. The inside temperature was set very cold, wear a sweater. read more

Shrimp and Grits were very tasty. French toast delicious as well. Excellent attentive wait staff.

Food is decent but the service could use some improvement. I was seated waiting over ten minutes watching servers walk right past me with no acknowledgment or to even offer a glass of water. I have no problems being patient but a glass of water and a simple "We'll be right with you" goes a long way. read more

Tried them yesterday and first off McKenzie is a rock star! So fun, friendly, helpful we did not want or need for anything. Vibe is weird, not a mellow breakfast/lunch place but barren walls except for TV's showing games and a full bar. Leans more towards sports bar which was not the feel we were expecting. Food was ok for me, ordered the Toasted Yolk which compares to the Cracker Barrel's Eggs in a Basket. Barrel won by a long shot as the food was very bland and hashbrown casserole was a lump of cheese. Finicky hubby loved their gravy and sweet ham breakfast. Will definitely try it again, but not with the high expectations we had. read more

Went to The Toasted Yolk for brunch, party of 3. I had shrimp & grits and it was in the top 3 shrimp & grits I've ever had. Service was great. read more

Although this is a nice restaurant in a great location, improvements can be made to the food and service. We waited a very long time to receive our food without an explanation or acknowledgment. The scramble needs improvement on appearance and taste. Instead of the cheese being scrambled into the eggs, it seemed to be an afterthought on top of the dish. The grits and bacon were good; however. I could not finish the rest of my scrambler because of the taste and appearance. Our server was nice, but she was very busy making drinks and serving patrons at the bar. The entire staff including the manager seemed rushed and unorganized. We may decide to go back if improvements are made and the restaurant matures. read more

Great food and service! Never overcrowded, very relaxing place to have breakfast. Will probably become my favorite morning spot.

We ordered a yogurt parfait, two breakfast burritos with hash brown casserole sides, and a French toast. The food was a decent 3 stars and the server was very pleasant. However, the floors are not clean, the table has syrup stickies, and the bathroom was not usable. Made us wonder how clean the kitchen was. read more

The Toasted Yolk Cafe - 2 egg deluxe and the double decker omelette - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

The only positive thing I can say about this neon green breakfast restaurant is our server was okay. When we arrived early in the morning and hit in the face by the horrible neon lime green paint everywhere, I think only three tables were full. The restaurant was practically empty and they wanted to sit us at a high top. I'm 5'2". Most women, my height probably would rather not sit at a high top. Hostess proceeded to take us past all the empty tables and put us in a back corner at a tiny little table. I asked to be moved. Coffee was lukewarm and bitter. Some of the coffee creamers had curdled into a thick mass. Again, the restaurant was not full and it was early morning. We ordered pancakes that were presented lukewarm. Too much vanilla and under cooked. It was like eating a soggy cake. The eggs Benedict also disappointing. The poached egg was not cooked . I could see clear egg whites. Cheesy grits were like glue. The cheesy part must've been powdered cheese. Horrible, the chef should be fired. I don't think anything is cooked fresh. I wonder when the health dept will come knocking? While I'm at it, the neon green color predominant in this restaurant is an assault to your eyeballs. A very unappetizing color and hard on the eyes. I'm surprised that the marketing team who designed the logo and the restaurant selected this assaulting color. It is overwhelming. I'll never go back. Bad atmosphere, bad lukewarm food, terrible coffee. Only our waitress okay. Although she never offered to remedy the bad food situation other than to offer to make the pancake again. Making it again is not changing the recipe. I declined. Waste of $ and time. read more

Very bright, welcoming, staff very friendly from the time we walked in. Richmond our waiter, friendly, attentive. We had the brisket tacos and brisket scramble.. both very good. So many options besides just bacon and eggs. Definitely recommend read more
