    Eggs Benedict
    Sue D.

    07-13-2025 Special day, my intelligent son took me out to lunch, Mommy and son time Ordered: -Classic Eggs Benedict $18.95- the 2 eggs were perfectly poached accompanied with house potatoes. My son enjoyed his dish. -Acai Bowl $15.95- refreshing fruits a perfect blend. Service: Always a pleasure to see Karen again. She's looking more beautiful than ever. We enjoyed our interactions with her.

    Ranchero Skillet
    Jasmine C.

    We came here during brunch and it wasn't busy which was nice to be sat right away on the rooftop. We got to enjoy the nice weather and the skillet was a large portion. I really enjoyed their in house made salsa they put on the skillet as well. The service was pleasant as well and was attentive when we needed things as well.

    Seasonal Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew
    Chelsea H.

    We went to Broken Yolk for breakfast and it was so good! Tried the Cinna-cakes, seasonal pumpkin pancakes, and a Hash Skillet -- everything was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. From the warm greeting at the host stand (Lupita) to our awesome server (Erica) and friendly busser (Percy) the service was phenomenal. I've been to several Broken Yolk locations, and this one is definitely my favorite! Loved the seasonal décor and the bright, welcoming interior -- it felt so cheerful and cozy. Parking was easy too, which made the whole experience even better. Designated parking lot (signage to help you find it easily!) or street parking. Definitely one of those breakfasts that just puts you in a good mood -- can't wait to come back!

    Chicken & Waffle Benedict
    Jessica S.

    My boyfriend and I decided to get lunch at this chain restaurant when we were looking around to eat something. We thought it would be very packed on Saturday noon in Pacific Beach but surprisingly, it wasn't! The location that we went to is located next to Sinclair gas station and diagonal of Citi Bank on Garnet Ave. There is a free open parking lot in the back of the restaurant in the side street. There's also a sign for additional parking if that lot was full. Being located in PB and finding parking could be a huge headache, so it was great to see that they offered free parking to customers. My boyfriend and I started off with a drink. We go their Iced Matcha which was very good, just a tad too sweet for my liking, but I had forgotten to request for it to be less sweet. The quality of the drink was very nice. I got the Machaca with flour tortilla. The portions were huge! I was very appreciative of the huge portion for the amount I was paying. I had to ask if the tortillas came with the entree as my previous visit at another location had an extra charge when the server didn't mention it. That previous server made it seem like the tortillas came with the meal! Luckily, the Machaca came with the tortillas. I thought the machaca was lacking in flavor. It was kind of bland to me, lacking a bit of umami or salt. The condiments they had on the table were only hot sauce, ketchup, and tabasco which didn't seem fitting to me at the time. My boyfriend got their Chicken & Waffle Benedict which was amazing! Sooooo much flavor! The hollandaise sauce with the poached eggs and waffles made such an amazing combination. The chicken was seasoned and fried very well. It was very tender and moist! I was kind of worried it would be dry because of how tiny the chicken looked (looked almost like a fried fish). Overall, I thought the food was relatively good. The Chicken & Waffles Benedict really surprised us both. The Machaca could definitely be better in my opinion. So far, the benedicts at this chain restaurant have been winning our hearts. So maybe next time, I should just get a benedict as well.

    The mom omelette
    Jill E.

    Talk about a huge menu, so many choices. Really hard to choose and know that the portions are going to be generous. We went on a Monday morning and there was no crowd, seated right away and the server was so nice and pleasant. Didn't even blink when she had to come back several times because we were visiting and not looking at the menu. I had the Mom omelette which had lots of veggies and they happily didn't add the spinach which I totally don't like in eggs. Choice of sides which is several types of potatoes I chose hash browns which were delicious. The outside were crispy and the inside nice and soft. Also a choice of toast, biscuit, English muffins and something else I can't remember. I had a biscuit which was obviously home made and so good. My friend had eggs Benedict which were perfectly cooked and came with a huge portion of hash browns. wish they had one of these in Seattle.

    Breakfast Burrito

    Amazing breakfast burrito! Recommended w ranchero sauce and refried beans! This place is the most consistent place in PB. You always get same taste and quality!

    Deliciousnesses in every bite. And Christian is sooooo nice
    Estela P.

    The very best! Super delicious food and service. Nice location, clean and fancy. Excellent menu with many many options.

    Avocado Toast Classic Eggs Benedict Cinna-Cakes
    Luci A.

    Broken Yolk is a cute spot for easy & goood breakfast! I usually opt for something savory, something sweet, and of course some coffee. Staff is attentive and quick. I always leave happy :)

    BLT
    Shanice L.

    Came here last weekend for my son's birthday brunch. He ordered the French toast and I had the BLT. The portions are always sizable. The prices are little on the higher side but the service has always been good. I took away a start because the lettuce in my BLT was not good and the sourdough bread was overly toasted and cut my gums when I bit into it. We love the top deck area overlooking PB . I'll definitely be back but probably just stick to the breakfast items.

    Steak and eggs!

    I had the steak and eggs were average, please order their French toast though, one of the best I've ever had! Christian's service was the best! After a long week in Florida for work, I needed a great breakfast and good vibes which I experienced today! What a great way to start my Sunday!

    Stopped by The Broken Yolk Cafe for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised by the variety on the menu. We tried a little bit of everything and left full and happy. I ordered the Spicy Vegan Bowl--flavorful, hearty, and packed with fresh veggies and a nice kick. It's a solid option even if you're not strictly plant-based. The Tiki Toast was a fun choice too--sweet, thick-cut, and felt like a tropical take on French toast. Definitely a treat. We also got scrambled eggs and bacon, a classic combo that was done right. Eggs were fluffy, and the bacon was crispy--simple but satisfying. Service was friendly and the space was casual and relaxed. It gets a little busy during peak hours, but overall, a great brunch spot to try something new or stick with the classics.

    Spicy Vegan Breakfast Bowl
    Stephanie L.

    Anytime my boyfriend or I had friends visiting San Diego, Broken Yolk Cafe always came up as a suggestion. In the past, there wasn't much for me to eat. However, Broken Yolk seems to have recently added a few vegan options to their Healthy Side Up menu! One of them being the Spicy Vegan Breakfast Bowl. The base of the bowl is a heaping portion of homefries with JUST Egg™, spinach, mushroom, onion, green and red bell pepper, and plant based BEYOND SAUSAGE® hot Italian link topped with avocado and sriracha. And wow! It was amazing! In addition to the food itself, service was pretty quick, and the hostess and waitresses were all very nice! I love that this location has an outdoor seating area as well and ample space inside. I'm currently out of town, but I am already planning my next visit as soon as I get back!

    Blueberry Muffin
    Kristen S.

    Nancy was our waitress and she was friendly, attentive and definitely made our experience better! I tried the huevos rancheros, I have had better but it was still good. If I ever make it back I will try something else. The blueberry muffin was one of my favorites. Big juicy blueberries, moist cake. Highly recommend! We decided to try the mimosa flight after seeing others having it at other tables. It came with an orange juice, pomegranate juice, lemonade and grapefruit. Fun way to try different flavors! We are from out of town so probably won't make it back but I recommend giving it a shot!

    Are there any vegan options?

    Hi Elephant! Yes we do offer vegan friendly options such as salads, oatmeal, acai bowls, fresh fruit and more! We are always more than happy to modify a dish as well!

    Is this location dog friendly?

    They say only service dogs, but they accept dogs as long as you sit in the porch area.

    Hi! We are having brunch tomorrow and we have small pets. Do you happen to have a Patio at this location?

    I just talked with some on the phone, they say only service dogs, but they accept other dogs and they are allowed in the porch area only. The porch has limited seating, so one may want to call ahead to see what the wait might be.

I asked for the girl that worked at the counter to please only make it slightly sweet. It was absolutely perfect. Just the slightest hint of gingerbread, not that sweet. Didn't overpower the fantastic roast on the beans. She was very nice, she delivered it to me on the patio and even offered to remake it if I didn't like the sweetness level. I could tell the coffee was very much my taste. I went back inside after I finished my latte and talked to the girl at the counter for a little while. She helped me choose a bag of coffee to bring home, talk to me about the flavor, nuances and let me smell them, etc.. She also introduced me to the owner/Roster who happened to be there at the time. He and his wife are from Columbia and all of their beans are sourced from there and then he roasts them for sale locally. He was telling me that he's been roasting coffee beans in San Diego for other coffee shops and he still does that but he opened his first coffee shop in 2018. I truly had so many more questions, but I could tell he was busy and didn't want to bother him, he was trying to finish up the roasts on all of the specialty coffees for the holiday gift packs!

It's local, convenient, and surprisingly affordable for today's prices... under $5 for a latte, which is a total win. There's no indoor seating since it's a tiny booth, but there's plenty of parking if you want to walk up and grab your coffee. Overall, such a solid local coffee spot with friendly staff, creative flavors, and great value.
