Please turn off the stupid celling fans! Our food gets cols before we can put ketchup on it, it is ridiculous! The service and the food are great if you can het seated in the back. Winter or summer they have the fans on, I know the servers are walking around and get hot but it is awful for our food, it messes up the whole experience. Someone should tell them celling fans are meant to recirculate air so they should be spinning in reverse and not blowing air down!!! If you ask anyone they tell you "oh! i am sorry, we can't turn it off" Please!!!! Turn them off or fix the direction in which they spin!!!! It is not rocket science! read more

Service was good. We had to wait a little bit were seated fairly quickly. Food was very delicious

What's the point of joining the waiting list if they are not gonna respect it. Joined the waited list at 1139 and almost an hour still not seated. Front desk waiter did not respect the online waiting list she just said we will check you in and put me at the bottom of the list. I believe they should let us know that the waiting list is not going to be respected. read more

Food was good, kinda cold. Service was pretty fast. Ambience was alright, felt kinda... cheap? Way better than it looks. read more

Hosts was rude after having to wait 30 mins to be seated and said I called your name so I took you off the wait list but I was out side and she never came outside to call my name to be seated she just assumed and went to the next person on the wait list read more

It was Mexican Mother's Day. It was really busy that morning. The restaurant was full and two benches outside were piled with people. I noticed the covered patio wasn't filled and thought to ask if we could be seated there. On this very busy day, the patio was closed. We stood in the sun with moms who were less than happy. A little less than 30 minutes later, we were seated. The service was ok. The food has been the same over-served, overpriced meals. But we couldn't get in at any Denny's in the valley and too many local spots don't make crepes. read more

The food here is great. We would add this to our Saturday breakfast rotation if we lived here. The servers are attentive and friendly.

I've been to a broken yolk before but in San Diego. This restaurant was nice. We stopped here after passing though the border on our way back home. It was quite busy but they seated us right away. Our server was sooo nice! He refilled water quickly and stood nearby to check the table and take our plates away as soon as we were done. I got an iced matcha latte. It was good but very sweet. My bf got the iced caramel coffee and that was waaay TOO SWEET. Not good. I also got the Sope Benedict which was advertised on the menu as a popular item. It was described as crunchy and I was craving that CRUNCH from the sope that I've had before at other Mexican restaurants and at home The food came to the table and as soon as I cut into it, it was not crunchy at all. It was beyond soggy. The shredded beef didn't taste all that great either. I understand it has sauce on it but they absolutely drenched it and let it sit in the sauce that made it so soggy. It was pretty disappointing and I didn't enjoy it at all. I at least had ordered a Belgian waffle also and that was pretty good. read more

Best service, all staff very friendly, I'm from San Diego stopped at this location in el centro and was very impressed by the quality of employees. I give them an A+ the food was so excellent and coffee best I've had .I recommend Broken Yolk Cafe #1 I will be back read more

Great food, great service, and awesome servers! I love that I could check in ahead of time and by the time I get there, my wait is minimal. I recommend this place read more

Overall 4/5 stars: Food 3.75/5 Service 4.5/5 Ambiance 4/5 We had to come in for some items and decided to stop for breakfast. I've had Broken Yolk Cafe bookmarked and I've heard good things so wanted to give it a try. Sunday morning was pretty quiet though the restaurant started getting busy around 9:30am. We were shown to a nice comfy booth and given menus. Drink orders of coffee and water were delivered. The coffee was pretty good and refilled often. The menu was egg shaped and a variety of options. Hubs chose a short stack of pancakes and I selected Eggs Benedict. It was a tough choice between the Benedict and chicken & waffles. The food came out extremely fast. It seemed impossible to cook it that fast but the food was hot. The pancakes were good sized. They had a good enough flavor but were a bit spongy or rubbery. The maple (flavored) syrup was (I'm sure) not real but quite good. The Eggs Benedict. The poached eggs were done perfectly with a beautiful yellow yolk that ran out of one egg (?) There was no yolk in egg #2. I'm not sure if it was in with yolk #1 or if they have some yolk conspiracy going on. The hollandaise was good. The strangest part was the Canadian Bacon-it was very thick and tasted more like bologna than Canadian Bacon. [I grew up back East and fried boloney (yep!, pronounced boloney) was a favorite food so I know baloney]. There is a ratio of egg to Canadian Bacon to English Muffin that was thrown off with the thick, strange-flavored meat. I actually just took the meat off and it was better without it. I do recommend The Broken Yolk. Even with the problems, the food was overall good. Service was good. Our server was nice and helpful in answering questions. read more

Just had the most unprofessional experience here by a so called manager named Roxy! She seriously lacks tact, professionalism and customer service! She had the nerve to charge us for nasty, black avocado that we returned twice and had the audacity to ask us if we ate the first one when she, herself took it back in her hands both times. Is she that forgetful or just playing the part? Please corporate, check your cameras! Then to make matters worse, she said that "we were the only ones who complain about the avocado ". I don't care what other people eat or do not eat, but we most certainly will not eat bad avocados, let alone pay for them. This is almost always an issue at this place. They think it's ok to serve avocados this way! Unfortunately, I did not take pics this time but here are examples of what they serve from other occasions! read more

My family and I recently had breakfast here and it took forever for our food to be served. When we finally got served not all of the meals came together. Very disappointed. read more

I just had a bad experience, Kendra the manager was hosting people I asked her if me and my sister can seat at the bar and she was so rude replying go ask the costumers at the bar, I asked her again because I saw some lady had their stuff at the extra chair, I was just asking if was a 3rd person with them or just 2.. read more

The food was so good I forgot to take a picture. One of the better breakfast/brunch spots in the valley. Lots of variety here. You can have a traditional American breakfast with some modern twists. They also have a lot of Mexican breakfast options. As of writing this review I'm preparing to do the food challenge they have here. The "BYC Challenge" if you've seen the hit Cartoon Network show "Regular Show" you might recognize it as the Eggscelent Challenge. 12 eggs, mushrooms, Onions, Cheese, smothered with chili and accompanied by two biscuits on a 15 in' plate. If you eat it under an hour it's free and you get a free t shirt saying you completed the challenge. Highly recommend everyone come here! read more

The food it's ok,their's always a wait at least 40 min customer service is wonderful.

Had blueberry pancakes and poached eggs. My wife had a veggie omelette. We weren't impressed as I like my blueberry cooked inside the pancakes. They were put on the outside...should have requested cooked within. My wife's omelette was basic and ok. Pricey for not being wowed! The service was excellent...the food was missing it. read more

If there was a zero star I would put that! There was bad customer service! And when we had gotten our food, one of our plates had a price tag on an avocado, we had sent it back to get a new plate. They had told us that the food was going to come out "really quick". So the rest of us ate our food expecting that the other plate was on its way. All of us finished our food and we ask the waiter what's the status on of plate, she then told us that they didn't make a new plate that they had thought we didn't want it no more. So long story short we're not coming back! read more

The broken yolk the value for the money was good. The portions were great. The food tasted exactly as expected. The ambience is a is a nice breakfast place to go would be good with family and friends just to have a quick meeting or a quick bite the service was, very interesting and very attentive very friendly. They were desiring to make sure that we got everything we ordered and everything was the way it was expected and they continuously came by to fill a water coffee, etc. which is what we expect we were thanked for our business by three different team members. I believe the kitchen manager came out and said thank you as well. read more

Great food and service. Our meals were made to our liking and served was very attentive

Lousy food, way overpriced, shitty service! I'd keep driving if I were you because there's better places for breakfast and lunch out there.

The coffy is top notch. I ejoy this place the music. The people. Its a chill place to go with your family. I recomend this place to any body who just. Want. To. Drink coffy and chill read more

It do be nice inside I had the Ranchero skillet is was very good. I would ask for it again. You can go wrong with a stack of pancakes from here. Just ask for the "Sky High" pancakes you'll thank me later read more

Whats the point of joining the waitlist early if the waiters are just going to ignore you when you're seated

Ate here for first time and it was a good place to eat. My family and I ate breakfast but we saw people around us order from lunch menu and it looked good. Restaurant kept cleaned and this is extremely important for my family and I because if not kept cleaned we turn around and walk out. Waitress nice and almost fully attentive. Only thing is we had no silverware and had to ask for it but our waitress was pretty busy but other than that food and service was great. Would come here again. read more

The food is good, but the service is not the best.. I saw that several servers were just standing and I did not get the best service while being there. I also saw that several hostess were doing their job by taking things to their tables which is not okay. read more

Love the food and the service! Staff is super friendly. Food always tastes great. Definitely my togo to for breakfast.

Cinne stack combo is one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Great service and experience

Horrible service from front desk ladies. Food not the best either. Very busy and not very organized when it comes to sitting not welcoming.

I love the Broken Yolk. I was excited to see their Christmas menu items out as I loved the pumpkin pancakes this past fall. Unfortunately, it was a disappointment. I really felt like I was in an "expectation vs. reality" meme. I ordered the white chocolate cranberry pancakes. The toppings were sparse. The items mixed-in were clumped together instead of spread out through the pancakes. The pancakes, themselves, were dry. The price was $9.95 which I wouldn't have a problem paying if they resembled the picture at all. The service was excellent, though, which you can expect every time you visit. read more

Thank you Broken Yolk Cafe. Them chilaquiles con salsa verde and pollo are Top of the Morning Dank! Thank you for treating us well.

The BEST breakfast joint in the Valley. Make sure to show up early in the morning because it gets packed. I like to sit at the bar area because it's usually empty and there's no wait. I recommend starting off with a mimosa flight. The staff is friendly and food comes out quick. I always come back when I want to get breakfast with my lady. read more
