    We were visiting Mobile for Mardi Gras, and our son suggested Toasted Yolk Cafe. Luckily, we were able to get a table because the day we went it was very busy!! There is inside and outside seating. Let me go ahead and say that parking is crazy, so be forewarned. They have all sorts of great things to eat on the menu such as churro style and blueberry donuts , omelets, French Toast, Belgian waffles , pancakes. Shrimp and grits and a lot more. I decided to be boring and get the two egg breakfast which is two eggs, a breakfast meat and a biscuit. The biscuit, by the way, was huge and absolutely delicious!

    We loved everything about this place - the food, service, and atmosphere. The staff and waitress Princess made our experience wonderful, and the food was absolutely delicious. Now, we just need to figure out how to get a restaurant like this in Pensacola!

    The Double Decker Omelette
    James N.

    At my recommendation my wife, my daughter and I went for breakfast here. I had high hopes for this restaurant, but now find that I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else. This would easily be a five star review; after all, the restaurant is clean, the employees were friendly and inviting, and the service was excellent. But for the food, which was severely lacking in quality, I would happily recommend. I had the dish they called Two Eggs and a Cake, which was scrambles eggs, grits, a sausage patty and one pancake. The eggs were dry to the point of being nearly crumbs on the plate. They were so desiccated that it was impossible to eat them with a fork. I actually had to use the spoon for my grits to consume the eggs. They were still edible, but it is frustrating when the food that normally one would place in ones mouth using a fork, crumbles back unto the plate, or even worse, onto oneself or the floor before making it to ones mouth. The pancaked was equally as frustrating. It arrives looking very tasty and inviting, not looking at all over cooked, but at the same time, not quite right. It had little flavor and, like the eggs, so dry that I had to use the spoon to consume it. I judge, a restaurant's ability to prepare an adequate breakfast upon its ability to serve up a delicious pancake. I've learned that it's more difficult than one might suppose; thus, a good and truly delicious pancake is, when one finds a kitchen that is able to produce one after another, after another all morning long, is a delightful thing to discover. If the cook staff can get a pancake right, then it stands to reason that they can get the other things right as well. Unfortunately, the kitchen at this establishment hasn't yet developed that skill. Moving on to my wife's and daughter's meals, they each ordered an omelette. My wife ordered the Big Ben, and my daughter ordered the Double Decker. I can report that they both reported their omelette as cooked so dry that they were nearly tasteless. My wife noted after leaving, while reviewing our bill, that she felt robbed. We went in with high hopes, and initially, due to the friendliness of the staff, felt vindicated in our choice of restaurant, but the cook staff let us down.

    I will start with the service. My server was awesome. She was able to help me narrow my menu choices down and she was very attentive. The ambiance is very casual and comfortable. Everybody fits in here. Sweats work here as well as your Sunday best. The food was fine. You definitely get more than enough to fill you up. I might revisit them again after Sunday service.

    Salmon Salad

    Got the salmon salad and added pecans without strawberries everything paired together great

    Banana Foster French Toast
    William B.

    Lots of natural light makes this place feels bright and alive. Tons of breakfast options especially if you like eggs. I wantes something different so i tried the banana foster french toast. The bourbon sauce was savory but not too sweet. The bar is open all the time so it's never too early to get toasted (that's their slogan).

    Checked reviews so we knew to get on the waitlist. Smart choice as we were seated immediately. We opted for patio seating which was hot but better than the indoor area which was pretty full and loud. Our server was fine. We were given adult cups for our kids but later she brought their water in the kids cups as requested. She asked if we wanted to order the kids food first which I appreciated. Unfortunately, we had to pay for meat that my vegetarian children don't eat in addition to paying extra for them to have eggs. The kids meal is $7.99 and included one piece of French toast. The pancake meal did include two pretty big pancakes. They never got the fruit that comes with the meal. We mentioned it at checkout and she did bring us a to go. There's also only one crayon per child. We started with the churro donuts. They are okay but there's a spice in it that just sits on the back of your palate...and not in a good way. The caramel sauce was very oily so you couldn't taste much of it. The scramble was pretty straight forward, nothing to write home about. The hashbrown casserole was good. Grits are bland. Asked for the queso on the side but it never came. Asked for salt and pepper and the server realized we didn't have our condiment caddy. Overall, a bit overrated. Oh, restrooms were clean. Manager did stop by to ask how everything was-which I always appreciate-but we (the adults) hadn't gotten our food yet. Pay at table options not available, waited over eight minutes to get my debit card back. Update: When we got in the car to travel home, my child asked for the leftover pancakes. I tore a piece of and realized the inside was raw. See photo. Needless to say, we trashed it.

    Chicken and waffles
    Jonathan R.

    I was supposed to be eating at another restaurant but the people I was going with backed out last minute. I then decided to go here because I wanted to try it out. I hadn't really heard what everyone is trying here but I looked at the menu and felt like waffles. I got the chicken and waffles. There was a twist with these waffles. They had cheese and jalapeños. I also ordered cheese grits. I forgot to mention that this place was packed. I was eating by myself so I chose the bar area. The wait staff was very busy but very courteous. Anyway my food came back pretty quickly. Now I was excited when my food came but my cheese grits didn't look like grits. It looked more like hash brown casserole with cheese. Now I admit I could've asked one of the women behind the bar to take the hash brown back but I was hungry. I ate the hash brown casserole like I ordered it. It was really good, might I add. Now the waffles looked exactly like what I ordered. I didn't know that what to expect when I bit into some jalapeño and cheese infused waffles but I was pleasantly impressed. The sweetness of the waffles along with savory flavors of the jalapeños and cheese is a great combination. And to top it off with syrup was a plus. The chicken in this equation were 2 pretty big tenders. They were cooked well and very tender as the name suggests. I really enjoyed my meal.

    So glad we have brunch spot open in this location- they really did a great job with the decor. More lunch items on the menu and extra drink specials than I was expecting- the ranch with our bowl Of fries was delicious. The egg plate with a cake - picked the French toast and it was so light and fluffy- the staff heard it was my birthday and they would stop by and tell me happy birthday/ so sweet. I love that the front porch is pet friendly with a water bowl- will be back - SOON

    Brisket Scramble, hashbrown casserole, fruit, biscuit
    Kayla C.

    For a party of 7 we were sat quickly after arriving. The drinks were enjoyable, the food was delicious, and the decor was cute! I ordered the Brisket Scramble with the hashbrown casserole, and it was so much food I had to get a to-go box for my leftovers. It was a hearty portion of scramble, a biscuit, a nice side of the casserole and a small ramekin of fruit. The mimosas with the gals filled me up, and we enjoyed laughing all morning over our brunch. Our server was great-- very polite and attentive. I hate I missed her name. My only docking of a star is that two of us had to wait longer than everyone else for our food, which was a little disappointing. However, I look forward to returning and trying other options from their menu. Lots of fantastic choices to choose from!

    The food, the service and the ambiance were all on point. What a cute new brunch place in Mobile. The menu has a lot to choose from to please a crowd. We got two sandwiches- the cordon bleu and the egg/bacon/tomato. Both very good. Our server gave us 2 churro donuts with caramel sauce because it was our first time in there and they were delicious. We will be back.

    Breakfast burrito. Asked if brisket could replace sausage.
    Jacob P.

    Food was incredible. But newbie beware - several up charges were tacked on. "Extras" were offered on hashbrowns and presented as if it were the dressings for a baked potato. In reality, there was an extra charge for each item. This may be spelled out in the menu - but for a newbie, this was very "sneaky" and was the only negative point of our experience. Food was great.

    Their coffee mugs are gorgeous and big
    Kimberly E.

    This place is so great! It's clean and bright inside! You can also choose an outside patio table. The food was very good with big portions. If you get coffee it's no little cup. The service was great. The only negative if it has to have one is while the music is great it's a bit too loud.

    Always a great spot! We love the little blueberry donuts. Best kept secret. Make sure to get on the list early on Sundays.

We got lucky and found one of the few non metered spots on the street. The restaurant was a bit busy when we arrived, but they where able to seat us promptly. The service was good. Our table ordered several items off the brunch/breakfast menu. I had the Seafood Eggs Benedict. For the most part this was a solid eggs benedict. However the shrimp were away overcooked and rubbery. They were a bit smallish and just not worth the time or charge. Hands down the best part about the dish was the Honey Ham. It was flavorful and there was a good bit included on the dish. In general it was fine, but not exactly worth the $18 it cost. Cubed Hashbrowns: I mixed bag. Every order at the table the Hashbrowns came out a bit different. Mine were undercooked and crunchy inside, I like them overcooked and crispy. Others at the table had them crunch and almost burnt. You can have them come with cheese and onions. I suggest this upgrade. Others at the table had: Eggs Cathedral: Needed salt. The same dry shrimp as the other dishes. Another dish that just did not seem to justify the cost. BLT Croissant: Was an ok looking sandwich, there was a good amount of bacon on the sandwich, however most of it was very well done. $15 Kids "Egg Breakfast: 1 egg, 1 Meat, 1 Toast. Looked fine. Spot of Tea was not a bad meal and there is good diversity to the Breakfast menu. However nothing the table had has was great, just mostly good. The Shrimp however were just bad. It seems that they are cooked in batches early in the day and added to dishes as needed. So I would personally avoid the "jumbo" shrimp dishes. Side note on the shrimp they are the same one that was added to the bloody marry cocktail. I think the biggest hang-up is the price to quality ratio. If you are in the area and want an eggs benedict you may want to give them a try. For me however I think there are better options to get full in the area.
