Mohammed N.

Environment was good. Food was good. Service was good. Pretty cool place to chill here

Bloody Mary Flight
Dustin W.

Perfect reset after a fun night out. Veronica was an amazing server. The bloody flight hit the spot and the American breakfast was perfect. Bacon and eggs done just the way I wanted, plus I find it's sometimes hard to find good sourdough outside of the bay and there's was that perfect combo of sour and fluffy with just the right amount of toasting and butter to boot. Great way to start the day!

Crab cake eggs bennie
Char B.

Highly recommend the chicken and waffle! I'm bot usually much of a fan of chicken strips and prefer the old school freshly fried chicken piece but I have to say that these strips were top quality, excellent batter and hot and fresh. My husband had the crab cake bennie and enjoyed it equally as well. The waffle and chicken is def large enough to share between 2 people.

Fried egg Chicken & Waffle Benedict and Classic Eggs Benedict
Kevin T.

Been to this location many times with friends and family and it's never let us down. Recently, I decided to spice it up with pick your own two egg Benedict. I did the chicken and waffle Benedict and a classic. I was shocked how good and crispy the chicken was for the chicken and egg Benedict, the flavors blend together really well. The classic egg Benedict was okay. Always good service from waiters and servers. Nice go to place to take your friends and family from out of town.

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.

Says free breakfast brunch. Went to get  free breakfast brunch and nope its a pancake,or french toast churro....very misleading

This says that it's a free breakfast brunch. It's not. It's a free pancake or churro French toast.. very misleading

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.

"MOM" omlette

The food was delicious. I had the "Mom" egg dish with home fries and toast. What a big portion!. Oh my friend and I were going to split it but they did it for us. The picture is only 1/2 of the total meal! I can't remember all the ingredients but they all were fresh. see the picture. service was good too and love the coffee. It was pretty quiet as we were in just before closing. Oh my friend and I were going to split it but they did it for us. The picture is only 1/2 of the total meal

Avocado Toast Classic Eggs Benedict Cinna-Cakes

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.

Tried: Hawaiian latte $7.25 - good flavor Butterscotch latte $7.25 - friend liked but not my thing. Breakfast sandwich $13.25 - good. A little too much aioli. Came out very hot and fresh. Recommend this one. Baja Burrito $15.75 - added bacon ($2.75 extra). This was a very healthy tasting and massive burrito. Wasn't really a fan of the overall flavor. Salsa was good. Club $17 - most expensive item. A little too much aioli on this but overall was good and it came with a cute little fruit cup. I love that they open very early in the morning and just one block from the beach! I'll be back to try their other food and drinks.

I had been here one other time and hated it, but decided to give it another try. I ordered two honey salted lattes.

I told her I had ordered two, and she said the ticket only showed one, but then proceeded to make the other drink. She poured the hot drink into two cold cups and added ice. I asked if they had any espresso in them because the color was basically just milk. She said, "Oh, I forgot," then proceeded to pour a shot of espresso on top of the already diluted coffee. I tasted it and asked if there was any honey or salt. She said I had ordered a vanilla latte, which I didn't. She finally handed me a "salted honey latte," and it was gross and tasted like milk. I almost asked for a refund, but after three attempts, I just walked out. Don't come here--horrible.
