Usually we bounce to another spot after church, but we hit a 25-minute wait and thought, "Nah, not today." So we rolled the dice on Broken Yolk. I called in and Victor answered. He was like, "I'll hold a table for you!" We were about 3 minutes away--he basically tried to dispatch a police escort for our arrival. (Just kidding... mostly.) We got seated right away, and he checked on us constantly, cracking jokes, keeping things upbeat, and being genuinely friendly. Loved the vibe. Food was great. We ordered the half stack and turned it into a combo with eggs and bacon. The pancakes have this vanilla sweetness that's honestly unmatched--like they showed up dressed for a dessert party. Best part? The service was fast and attentive - thanks Oscar! The food came out fresh, and the staff was super friendly. Definitely worth a try! read more

The food was wonderful came out on time Our server Oscar was excellent *Ladies get the mimosa flights here * We will be back !! read more

We definitely enjoyed walking in here because Victor, the manager acknowledged us with a smile and a wave right away,even though he was not close to the entrance to let us know he would be right with us. He then gave us some great recommendations and told us Alicia would be right with us. Alicia was also great and gave us great recommendations and answered all our questions. Food did take a minute yet once it arrived it was good. I had the 1/2 Sope Benedict - 1/2 Golden Benedict. Both had good flavor and it was great that I was able to taste two different ones since I couldn't choose which one I wanted. My Love ordered the Croissant Breafast Sandwich and he really enjoyed it as well. They were both good size portions. We will definitely be back as they had so many other choices that we want to try and the service was great from beginning to end! read more

I went to The Broken Yolk Cafe over the weekend in Palm Springs, and it did not disappoint. Their menu is packed with a variety of creative and delicious breakfast options, so we ended up ordering a few different plates to share. The chicken and waffles were incredible--the spicy seasoning on the chicken paired perfectly with the sweetness of the waffle. The eggs Benedict were cooked to perfection, and the pancakes were just as impressive--fluffy and full of flavor. I'd definitely recommend getting there early, though, because the lines start forming pretty quickly. read more

Broken Yolk Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - La Quinta, California

We stopped by Broken Yolk Cafe in Palm Desert for breakfast and found the experience to be just okay overall. Allisha was our server, and she was very pleasant throughout the meal. We appreciated that she never made us feel rushed and allowed us to enjoy a leisurely breakfast. The downside was that there was a fairly long wait for our food to arrive. The highlight of the meal was definitely the Eggs Benedict. I substituted bacon for the carne asada, and the poblano hollandaise added a nice kick of flavor that made the dish stand out. Unfortunately, the Monte Cristo was pretty plain and underwhelming. It lacked the rich, indulgent flavors that make this sandwich memorable. While there were a few bright spots, the long wait and mixed food quality left us feeling that the experience was average overall. read more

Delicious meal and great service. Lots of space. Great vibes and delicious food. We got chicken and waffles and the Monte cristo. Perfect texture and the were. Super friendly service from Lena the mama nurturing server. We loved the experience. Cargo and Viv were super friendly and didn't rush us as we stayed to chat after the lunch rush. read more

We had gone elsewhere but our first stop didn't have gluten free pancakes so we came here. Place was pretty crowded but it is a very large space. We were seated within about 10 minutes. Staff were super pleasant, from the hostess to the waitress all great! Food was enjoyed by all. Above average and very fresh. The main issue was the temperature of the items. They came out closer to lukewarm rather than nice and piping hot. The pancakes would have been much better hot. Even the butter didn't melt on them since they were so cold. But other than that all was great. read more

Went to this restraunt with my Father, Step-Mother, Wife and myself. My Father has been here, but this our first time. All in all, I would definitely say give this place a try for breakfast if you're in the area. The portions are definitely enough and the customer service is very good. I want to commend the bus-boy (Older gentleman latino) that was on with us the moment we sat down, getting us coffee, waters, etc. He was sure to always check in on us. To the management, you are missing out by not making him a waiter. Our waiter did show up, took our order, was friendly and professional. His name was "Oscar". For me, the older gentleman, his pleasantry in Spanish etc won me over. Keep up the great job Senor. read more

Amazing service. The food was good as always. Lily was our server and it was excellent! Thank you!

Food was ok. I'm a huge fan of Broken Yolk, but in fairness I arrived 45 minutes before closing. Took a bit of time to get seated even though we were the only ones. We ordered the Chicken Fried Steak with Eggs. My husband selected a biscuit with gravy and home fries for his side. I ordered the Huevos con Chorizo and chose a flour tortilla. I didn't realize it was one burrito sized tortilla haha. I also ordered myself a biscuit on the side. With some of the food (rice, home fries) we could taste it was sitting around. But everything else was decent. A tad pricier than I recall. But still decent. read more

Broken Yolk serves a wonderful breakfast. I've only been there for breakfast and I've been there a few times. There's so many options for breakfast in the Coachella Valley I rate Broken Yolk in the upper section. A little disappointed in the service no complaints just a little slow. Breakfast was very good very good. I wouldn't say that the best out there but they do a very good job. read more

Came here for brunch on a Saturday morning during stagecoach weekend with a friend. I added my name to the waitlist on the Yelp app and it said the wait time was 20-40 minutes. We arrived 35 minutes later and there was a handful of people waiting. The restaurant wasn't that busy but it took an hour to get seated... the staff were polite and thanked us for waiting so I did appreciate that. Once we got seated, we ordered right away but didn't get our drinks until 20 minutes later. We order the mimosa flight which was good. I ordered the wellness wrap with turkey sausage and it was alright but it didn't have much flavor. Overall it was a good restaurant but don't come here if you are looking for a quick meal haha. read more

Broken Yolk Cafe - Mimosa Flight - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - La Quinta, California

I usually do not give a 1 star review....but... I've been to Broken Yolk several times in Orange County and decided to try out the one in La Quinta.. ONE AND DONE. 1. Joined the online waitlist. Pointless. Still waited over 20 minutes even though online line I was next up. Was asked to sit on the patio on an over 90 degree day. No thanks. Waited another 10 minuets. Manager sat us.. in a tiny corner hidden away and forgotten.. literialy. Told me not to worry he would let my server Lily know. I had to wave down a server and tell him we were forgotten. Finally Lily found us told me no one told her she had our table. I did ask her to move us and she did. She was very nice but obviously overwhelmed. 2. Food.... after waiting another 30-40 minutes for food. My husband was served a bloody burger with raw bacon. He asked for it medium well. It was sent back. I got a skillet, spicy and very small portion. I was NOT HAPPY especially with the manager. Thanks for all the apologies, but I will NEVER return to this place again. Terrible experience and ruined our Easter Brunch. read more

A special thank you to Cargo for providing outstanding service! We had a wonderful experience at Broken Yolk! Our server was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down. They checked on us regularly, made sure our drinks stayed full, and everything came out just right. The great service made our breakfast even more enjoyable. We'll definitely be back and hope to have the same server again. Thank you for the excellent hospitality! read more

Lina Lina Lina, no need to say more! Good music, good food, amazing service. Wait was a little to l9ng, but well worth it. My go to place for breakfast when in yhe la quinta area. Thanks BYC​ read more

Sooooo good! I've never ordered avo toast in a restaurant before because I make it at home often, and I love my version so much that I was reluctant to try anyone else's. But the avocado toast with feta and poached eggs was SO delicious! The mimosas are refreshing and strong, and Lily provided such beautiful service and hospitality. I will definitely be back next time I am in town! read more

Service was very slow. There were plenty of servers available. They were not attentive at all. Food was not good. Pancakes were burnt. Steak was not cooked well. Home fried potatoes were also burnt. Ice latte was terrible. They literally just pumped syrup. Really fermented taste. And the apple juice is not even juice. I had to add water so it can actually taste like apple juice. Super concentrated! Overall, not a good place to go. read more

My server Alisha was awesome great attitude even better service I will definitely be coming back

Took my Dad, Mike for breakfast Saturday morning and Lena was very attentive to him. I came down to visit my Dad from Valencia. Lena has the best personality and I loved her accent! Very warm and kind. Thank you for taking care of my Dad when he comes in. read more

I had the opportunity to have breakfast here. I used to go to the original one in Pacific Beach. It did not disappoint! My server, Alisha, provided excellent service and my breakfast was delicious! The owner did a great job of checking in on the tables and even made an announcement at one point to celebrate a few young customers that had received honors at their elementary school. The entire restaurant applauded. As a teacher of 26 years it is so refreshing to see community in action and celebrating hard work. Highly recommend. read more

Truly amazing service!!! My husband and I have been enjoying coming here for breakfast for many years and we look forward to continuing. The staff is always so welcoming and helpful making sure everyone has a joyous meal. There is one staff member that always goes above and beyond everytime we see her, Lily. Thank you so much for always remembering us and even if we aren't your table you always come say hi, it feels like a small town vibe and we very much appreciate you!! See you next time read more

I have always really liked Broken Yolk, went to Manhattan Beach OG location quite often. Was happy to see them expand into the desert and wanted to try, with high hopes. Great: My perfect poached eggs on the benny and the delicious hollandaise that came out piping hot. Yippee! Excellent service from the kind and attentive Oscar. Not so great: My friend's $9 (!!) smoothie was mostly ice chunks. He's too sweet to complain. Asked for potatoes crispy, came out barely cooked and cold-ish. They did fix it, which I appreciated. But why stacking chairs on tables (to close up) right next to us, well before closing time? Super distracting, claustrophobic and doesn't make for a chill meal/hang. Oh well. read more
