My sister & I went on Saturday and really enjoyed our brunch! We both ordered the tropical mimosa flight. She got the chorizo skillet while I got the eggs Benedict. Manuel did an awesome job of being friendly, attentive, & even helping my sister choose which meal she'd enjoy best. It wasn't too busy, clean restrooms, minimal noise. read more

Today, went there first time 1) Nice, modern decor, clean restaurant 2) Eunice, my waitress helping me, super cool 3) Food is very good, I got the Egg benedict, you could choose 2 kind, like canadian bacon and salmon one. Which is good. You could choose and combine other 2 different kind of egg benedicts. Other restaurant only allow same kind for 2 benedicts. 4) Their food menu is very good, has a lot of different options. 5) also have special menu. Like near Xmas and holiday, I saw some peppermint latte drink. Very good 6) parking is a little bit difficult, the lot is not that big. But ok, to park in street. I think read more

Had brunch here multiple times (at this location and others), and it's been enjoyable every single time. The menu is huge, which makes it hard to decide - but that's a good problem to have. My boyfriend is a big omelette fan, so he's always happy with the wide variety of omelette options. We've tried the Chicken Fried Steak, Mom Omelette, and the California Breakfast Burrito. Everything was delicious and the portions were generous. Service here really stands out. Several staff members stopped by to check in and make sure everything was going well. When I was packing up leftovers, our server Alex noticed my salsa container didn't have a lid and immediately asked if I wanted one so it wouldn't spill. It's those small, thoughtful gestures that make a big difference. Alex was our main server and did a fantastic job. We'll definitely be back. read more

Was absolutely the best best food best service everything looking forward to coming back

Had free kids meal gift certificates so we finally tried this place out! Seated right away at 8:30am on a Sunday, with great quick service. Our kids loved their breakfasts, and so did we! I tried the new pineapple matcha and it was good! Biscuits and gravy so delicious, and mom's omelette was amazing too. Coffee was flowing, generous portions, clean place! We will totally be back!! read more

Food has gone downhill since the good old days. I'm not sure they use the best ingredients any longer. Also management very abrasive. I would avoid this place. There is a Pancake House next door that is delightful read more

The service was very disorganized. The servers seemed to have no idea which table each order belonged to. They repeatedly brought food to the wrong tables, took it back, and then delivered it somewhere else. This didn't just happen to our table--it was happening all around us. At one point, we had already finished our meal, but a server tried to deliver another table's food to us. We had to tell them that we were already done. Another disappointing experience was the balloon artist. He came to our table and made balloon animals and dinosaurs for the kids. We assumed this was a complimentary service provided by the restaurant, but after he finished, he asked for a tip. No one mentioned this beforehand, so it felt misleading and almost like we were being pressured into paying for something we never agreed to. It left a bad impression. As for the food, the portions were generous, but the taste was just average and nothing special. read more

The service was good. The food was great cute little restaurant to eat at the wait was a bit long, but it was Mother's Day and it was only an hour, so really can't complain about that but we really loved it and enjoyed ourselves. Will be going there again soon, our waitress was great. I don't remember her name. We sat in a corner booth right when you walk into the right go by little couple booths and then the one in the corner there on Mother's Day morning about 10 1030. I wish I remembered her name but I'd like to give her props as well. She was a great waitress. read more

The broken yolk is a long time regular breakfast/brunch place for me. I've been eating here for many years. My girlfriend and I were looking for brunch while waiting for an appointment nearby so we hit up the broken yolk. As usual it didn't disappoint. We both went with the French toast combo. She ordered a side of country potatoes and we split them. We put ourselves on the online waiting list and were seated as soon as we arrived. Our hostess took drink orders and our server verified the drinks and took our orders. Our drinks came right out and our food followed shortly thereafter. We'll definitely be back. read more

This restaurant has a large fun menu with lots of choices you are sure to find something you may enjoy. The restaurant is clean and there is plenty of parking to be had. The service is ok. They are neither attentive nor are they dismissive. It could just be that I went in a Saturday afternoon and they were busy. The food itself to me was subpar. Avocado toast - very very thin layer of avocado. The toast was more a bread than toast so it didn't have that fun texture difference. Completely overloaded with the onions. Eggs Bennie- was sloppy in presentation and the egg was way over cooked. The sauce was nice but almost too much. I am unsure if it is just because I went on the weekend but the reviews do not match what I experienced. I may come again not during the weekend time to check. read more

Much better this time! I ordered for delivery. My husband loves breakfast so much. I like breakfast, but it's not my favorite. I ordered the build your own omelette with hash-browns and an orange juice. The omelette needed more cheese. It was all egg. My husband got a Cali breakfast burrito and the biscuit and gravy meal. He said it was really good and enjoyed it. Service was great, we got all the condiments we requested. Food was still warm on delivery. read more

The service here is amazing! I had called ahead to see if they could accommodate a large group with dogs and they said they could. I hadn't specified a time or asked for a reservation but when I arrived they had set aside a table for us already. The food was delicious with huge portion sizes. Everyone from our party had to get to go boxes because the plates were that large. I'd recommend trying out some of their omelettes or biscuits and gravy. read more

There once was a time that food and service was top notch. As busy as it got, the food and service never wavered. But the last two times I've gone there have been miserable. It's been mostly the food quality. It's either over oily or under cooked. This last time will indeed be my last time. read more

We visited on Friday, May 8th at about 12:15 noon. No host to greet us, we waited about 5 minutes. It appeared extremely understaffed. The waiters ignored us. The waitress was rude and unprofessional. She was Hispanic and had long black hair. She also had braces. She seemed disturbed that we asked for our order to be taken after waiting for another 10 minutes at our table. The only hospitality we received was from an older lady with red hair. Management fire everyone else and promote her. The food was stale, hash browns especially. I typically only write positive reviews and a negative review if it is bad, this place is just that. Terrible. Our breakfast for 4 of us was $100 + , what a waste ! Don't come here, don't waste your money and your time. read more

The Border Benedict is my jam. Sometimes the meat is a bit dry and not super flavorful, but the sauce with the sweet corn cake and all the other flavors are so good. They also have mimosa and Bloody Mary flights, which I loved because I always want to try everything. Their menu is definitely a bit overwhelming. When I couldn't decide, our server let us know we could mix and match Benedict's! That's awesome! I decided to mix and match and got one border and one sope Benedict. They were both delicious, but the border Benedict is still my favorite. Our server also offered us free reusable tote bags! I recently tried their takeout, which held up well! Of course I got the Border Benedict and my friend got the waffle. The Border Benedict was delicious as usual, but I wasn't happy they didn't let us know there was no butter or syrup in the bag for the waffle. They didn't ask me what kind of potatoes when I ordered over the phone, and i ended up with hashbrowns. The homefries are better. This place can get packed, so I try not to go during busy times, and make sure you check your order and ask for any condiments before you go! read more

I came here because we tasted their catered food before and it was light and good. But the dine in food was contrastingly heavy and oily. Their menu carries a wide array of breakfast food. The staff quickly seated us and took our order. But after that didn't come by to check on us for our other needs. I won't be coming back as I feel my overall experience was just average to below average read more

The Broken Yolk is one of our favorite breakfast chains. This spot didn't disappoint. The place isn't hard to find and there's plenty of parking. The inside is roomy and we were pleasantly surprised to see holiday-themed decor. You can argue about pulling out the Christmas tree before Thanksgiving, but it was nice. We came on a weekday around noon and it wasn't busy. We were seated and served promptly, with hot coffees and water brought out right away. I ordered a meat lover's skillet, which had ham, sausages, peppers and thinly sliced potatoes with three eggs on top, I ordered mine over easy, and opened them up so the yolk could mix into the rest of the food. The skillet didn't look as big as I had hoped, but it was plenty filling. My +1 ordered a salmon eggs Benedict, which was tender and delicious. The capers went well with the salmon and the hollandaise sauce brought it all together. They also have kid's options, and our little one must be in the middle of a growth spurt because he's constantly hungry. The generous portion of pancakes, along with a scrambled egg and two pieces of bacon, were enough to satisfy him. For the time being. Overall, the food was great, service was great, and we left satisfied. read more

This is my first time here. It is a bit chilly coming in so come with a sweater, jacket, or wear something warm. I'm glad I did since the weather was cold out anyway. The music playlist is amazing. It went from 90s R&B to 2000's punk to the 80's classic rock and 80's funk. So I'm all down for that since that's my type of music taste. We were asked what to drink and my family and I had ordered regular hot coffee. They do have a Coffee Bar on the back side of their menu, along with many options of beverages to choose from. They have so many breakfast options too. Everything sounds so good so you know I'm coming back to try many more things. They also have good options for lunch as well. I'm looking at the Chilaquiles Bowl for my choice as breakfast with carne asada, red sauce and the eggs over medium- sunny side up. And left everything else on it like jack cheese, red onion, cilantro, & sour cream. This one is found under the breakfast section called South Of The Border. Our server Eunice was especially sweet. And fixed our order. We just need to add som veggies to the house fries. She worked on it right away. And she kept checking on our table and attentive. Eunice you made my first time at this establishment a wonderful experience. Thank you! read more

Joined the waitlist on a Friday morning and by the time we arrived, we were seated immediately. First time here and I immediately noticed the setup felt very nice and inviting. The girl who helped us get seated also took our order and was very nice and friendly the entire time we were there. I can't remember her name unfortunately. The food came out pretty fast and looked great. The only complaint to me was the temperature of our food. I would have preferred the food to be warmer. I was very impressed with the Tiki Toast. It tasted better than I expected. Overall all, this was no disappointment and I would absolutely return and try their other menu items. read more

My hubby and I came here for breakfast. First of all, when we walked in, the smiling faces made us feel so welcome truly amazing. I'm a little picky with my food, and I asked for hot chocolate; they made it happen for me, even getting creative with how it was made. Our server, Jahera, was absolutely awesome! This is an upstanding place to eat, and I give them a five-star plus. read more

I've been coming here for a while now it's one of my go to spots. I love the Mexican American style breakfast, even though it can be hit and miss sometimes, but what stood out to me was recently is how the manager Marcos talks to its employees. I'm not sure if the girl was new or what the case maybe, but overall, I had to ask for my food to go because the way that this man carried himself it was almost like him belittling his employees overall just lost my appetite. The demeanor was very uncalled for you can tell that there's a lot of animosity at this establishment and it shows in their foundation of service. read more

4 of us came by for brunch on a Saturday morning and were seated right away although the place was so busy! Ambiance: 4/5 It's a very casual spot with lots of families and kids so yes, expect it to be loud. Service: 4/5 Our server was friendly and efficient. However, he pushed for extra sides (eggs + bacon) for our french toast and although we said yes, we actually never got them. Those items were on our check but were taken off with no problems once we told him we never got them. Food: 5/5 Get the trio toast if you want to try a variety of their toasts! It included tikki, classic, and churro. I loved that they offer combo benedicts: you can choose 2 different ones in one order! My boyfriend and I loved their chicken and waffle the best. Coffee was okay. Chai tea latte tasted more like horchata. read more

This morning me and my husband celebrated our wedding anniversary and started the day at Broken Yolk. It wasn't busy at all at 11:30am on a Tuesday. Our server was super quick and rude and didn't want to be bothered at all. Our food orders came out wrong - my omelet was suppose to have Salsa on it & when I asked for salsa they charged $1.25 extra. It was such a sloppy food and service. My husband wanted to go to pancake house but we decided on broken yolk but maybe we won't be back after todays experience on our anniversary :( read more

Broken Yolk Cafe was really busy during the weekend, which we expected. But their Yelp check-in/hostess situation is a little bit of a mess; it's not very orderly as you'd expect. If you're not there actively checking with the hostess, they inadvertently give your table to another party that is just in the waiting area. It happened to another group ahead of us, and then it almost happened to us. The food was pretty good. The sweet portions of the menu were made better than the savory items. The hash browns and potatoes were severely undercooked and had almost no browning to them. The Tiki Toast was very good and delicious. The Cina-cakes were really good too. Basically, the sweets were made better than the savories. Overall, it was a fine dining experience. There's an 18% automatic gratuity on parties of 6 or more. Parking was easy. read more

Broken Yolk Cafe - Border Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Orange, California

We've never been to a Broken Yolk where we left not full! My family and I came on a Sunday around 11am and were sat by 11:15. (Party of 4) I got the border Benedict (a staple for me), my boyfriend got the chilaquiles, my sister got the chicken and waffle Benedict and my dad got the machaca. All of our food was delicious. The service was great, everyone was very nice and our server came to check on us throughout our meal. They also had a balloon artist which was fun to watch! The volume was moderate and the restaurant is very clean. Great place to come on a weekend! The only negative thing I will say is that parking is super hard to find. We parked on the street behind the restaurant. read more

Had breakfast here with a family member, and wow--the food was incredible! Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, and I really appreciated the variety of healthier options for different diets and allergies. It's nice to see a place that truly caters to everyone. The service was fantastic--super friendly and attentive without being overbearing. They made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. The bathrooms were also spotless and easy to access, which is always a plus. Prices are a bit on the higher side, so I like to see that come down to make it more affordable, but the food is fantastic. Highly recommend if you're looking for a delicious, welcoming spot for breakfast or brunch!
