Juan was amazing, food was OMG! fast, clean, and soooo good. thank you Juan for an awesome breakfast experience

Juan is the best server great service fast refills always checking in to make sure we have all we need

I absolutely love eggs and hate them being overcooked or undercooked, but here at Broken Yolk, they are quite perfect every time. The huge portions have nutritious options like fruit rather than hash browns. Omelettes, eggs to order, Benedict's and Mexican variations on breakfast items, numerous sweeter options, this is the ideal breakfast spot for even the most discerning individual. The service is good, the restaurant huge and the wait time even over the weekends is short, even though it attracts quite the crowd. Check it out for a hearty breakfast with reasonable prices. read more

I didn't know what to expect when my mom and I stopped on Thursday morning for breakfast. It was pretty busy at 9am, but we were given a cute little booth in the side dining area. The menu is huge and has all of the things you would expect in a breakfast/brunch/lunch place. I noted that there were some $9.99 breakfast specials that seemed like a good deal and I wasn't that hungry, so we both got the two egg omelette special & drip coffee. As stated earlier, the place was busy and our server, Norma, indicated that it would be at least 20 minutes for our food to come out. We watched as the side dining area filled with customers and Norma and her assistant worked hard to take care of everyone. About 20 minutes after we ordered, our omelettes, steaming hot & fresh, were brought out just as we'd requested. While not super aesthetic, the food was tasty, really and truly, and it was a good deal. The coffee was also very smooth & Norma made sure our cups were never empty. Once we finished our food, Norma, knowing that we were in a bit of a hurry, brought our check right over without being asked. She was so attentive and professional, and she is absolutely an asset to the Broken Yolk. Plenty of parking in the large lot, clean bathrooms & both indoor & outdoor seating. This is a good place for breakfast and when you stop in, be sure to ask first Norma because she is a gem. Thanks & peace. read more

If I were a bruncher, this would be my go to spot. Arrived early and was situated at my table prior to the influx of the brunch bunch (à la Bob's Burgers). The place was large enough, with indoor and outdoor seating thankfully. The food was amazing, and the reason I would return. The avocado toast was delicious and exponentially aided by the fresh salmon and red onions. Love capers and paired well with salmon, per usual. Serving size was enough to share, if I was feeling generous. The home fries were good too. I do wish that the coffee selection was better. As a non-bruncher, I require a really good cup of coffee whenever required to rise earlier than usual...especially on the weekends. Highly recommend this location, as there were a few in proximity to my hotel. My co-worker enjoyed her meal of oatmeal parfait, and an omelette as well. read more

Broken Yolk Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

This eatery looks like your classic diner, with ample indoor and outdoor seating, and simple decor. But our overall experience was excellent and went above and beyond. We arrived at 9:45am on Monday morning, were seated right away, and staff was attentive to our needs and helpful the entire time. Our order took 12 minutes to be ready, and was delicious and filling. Got the spicy vegan bowl and monte cristo without raspberry sauce and with hashbrowns on the side, as well as a side of scrambled eggs. Everything was yummy and cooked perfectly, especially that fluffy french toast with the monte crsto. We left the restaurant happy and satisfied. Such a great start to our day! read more

Breakfast can never do me wrong and I truly enjoyed my breakfast from Broken Yolk. I ordered the American Breakfast which comes with eggs, potatoes, a choice of meat and a your choice between pancakes, muffin, croissant, toast...etc. I selected Bacon as well as a Blueberry Muffin to go with my eggs and potatoes. I also ordered a small orange juice. It was delightful and fulfilling. A great breakfast to start my day off great. I ordered to go so I didn't get to experience dining in, but the restaurant looked very nice and clean. First impressions are everything to enjoy a meal. The staff were very nice and my order didn't take long at all which is also very good. Friendly service and fast service is always a plus. read more

New menu! 9.95 and 9 options. Brunch on the smaller-side! (Of course the regular menu is also available). Perfect portions, and completely delish! I had the 2 egg omelette. It was excellent with sourdough toast and hash browns well done. And still had leftovers! Service was great with Savannah! We are always greeted with a smile and thanked when we leave. Lovely spot to dine! We will see you all again soon BY! read more

Food was amazing and for that I would recommend this place. However the service at this place needs help in how to serve promptly and take care of the customers. Had to wait way too long for an order correction (ordered sweet potato fries and got regular fries) and waited longer for the check. The ambience is nice with inside or outdoor seating, just keep in mind if you go here, it will not be a quick stop and eat kind of place read more

WARNING: Always examine the bill. We've been going to Broken Yolk for years. As usual, the food was good but the service was off. Our server (Maria C.) was polite but never bothered to refill our drinks, which was odd. I shrugged it off and gave her my usual tip of 18%. When I got home I noticed an additional "Service Charge/Tip" of $15.46 on my receipt from Broken Yolk. I know some restaurants are now adding a mandatory tip to take care of their employees which is fine but the patrons should also be informed when that policy is in place. Sad to say goodbye but this feels like a rip-off. read more

I wanted to try something different other than the Hash Skillet (which is my favorite) .. so I tried the new carne asada torta and I'm not gonna lie it was pretty fire, of course nothing in comparison to your abuelitas kitchen but for a new menu item not bad at all I'd recommend this. read more

Broken Yolk Cafe - Look plate looks boring - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

Always get seated in a reasonable amount of time on the weekends and the food is always delicious and reasonably priced

Tried this spot during vacation, we waited about 5 mins to get seated on the outside patio. The food looked appetizing. I landed on the chilaquiles and ordered it with green sauce and beef barbacoa, they brought it with red. I'm not one to have my food remade so I ate it. My kid loved his chocolate chip pancake too. There is ample parking and they allowed dogs out there which is nice. There was a lot of space. It was a good experience and if I lived in the area, I'd make it part of my regular rotation. read more

If I could give this location a zero, I would. I came by myself with my 4 year old to eat breakfast. They had one waiter running the section, so I only seen him ONCE in the whole time I was there (until it was time to give me my check ofc.) and was super rushed while ordering. He obviously had too much on his hands, which was not his fault. The food arrived was okay, or what we were even able to eat... Half way through, my son had to use the rest room. So, I wrote a note saying to not throw away the food (once again, hadn't seen my server so I couldn't let him know.) and where we would be...came back to my table cleared. Yet I was still charged, like I got to eat it!! Upon getting my receipt, I went to pay in the front and went to ask to speak to the manager but the employee didn't understand me so at that point, I was over it. I never leave reviews but figured, no one deserves to pay $45 to not get to finish their food & get terrible service. If you're in the area and hungry, just eat somewhere else!! read more

Great service and food was great. We came to eat here because of the parking accessibility. It was easy to find parking and the location was easy to find. Thank you Juan for your service today. read more

The food was good. The waiter was friendly and attentive. The food arrived in a reasonable time. The restaurant was clean.

This was usually my go-to breakfast place but unfortunately it was not good at all today. I ordered my usual, Ranchero Skillet, I asked for the potatoes to be crispy because when I don't they are usually soggy. Well they were soggy and hardly and eggs or chorizo. For $18 I would expect a little more besides soggy potatoes and sauce. So disappointing. It wasn't that busy but had to wait for refills too. I will think twice about breakfast here again. read more

The food is excellent; I come here often with my mom and friends. Def, a go-to spot for a nice breakfast. Juan is very friendly and sweet. Overall, the customer service and ambiance is great. read more

Wowza! I got the classic crunchy French toast. I will never have it again, but it was cool to try something crazy. The service was EXCELLENT! I think I found my new lover! The vibes were like no other! I wish I could live in this booth! I WILL be coming back, but I'll be getting something different. Till next time amigos! Ciao! read more

food was okay but overall the experience was ehhh our sever was rude was first his name was Juan

Great food and excellent service from Juan! Great atmosphere and a beautiful outdoor area!

Service was pretty fast perhaps because it was close to closing time . I would recommend that customers coming in close to closing time not to be seated in the area closest to the outside patio as, it's loud and disruptive. Kids burger was pretty good , it was juicy. The BLT with Turkey was kind of light on the protein . read more

Broken Yolk Cafe - Club Sandwich - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

Best breakfast options, and best service ever! They work so hard to accommodate every little request a guest might have.

OMG!!! This has got to be one of the best meals I have ever had in my entire life!!! The Eggs Benedict was phenomenal and so was the service! Even if this isn't enough, the place looked very cool. And let me tell you, by the time I took the last bite, I was practically levitating out of my chair. I wanted to stand up and give the chef a standing ovation right then and there. The whole experience felt like being wrapped in a warm, buttery hug of pure culinary bliss. Honestly, I'm convinced this place could single-handedly restore someone's faith in humanity. It was THAT good. Also, somewhere in the distance, a squirrel was aggressively guarding a single acorn like it was a priceless family heirloom. read more

Never had a chicken and waffle Benny. Very interesting. Definitely different but not bad. The chicken was a bit dry. The avocado toast was delicious. Our sever could have been friendlier and more up beat to make his service more enjoyable. read more

Little hidden gem we found while looking for another place. I'm so glad we found this place. Everything here was amazing and we couldn't get over how good the food was. We have already recommended others and plan to visit on our next trip down to SD! My husband had a steak and he loved it. I had eggs Benedict but with a Twist. One was corn bread while the other was a sope. Both were really good. My daughter loved her pancake. We devoured our food so quickly we didn't even take a picture. Highly recommend this place. And the customer service is amazing as well!! read more

Service was absolutely horrible. Had to ask multiple times for refill on my coffee and for an extra plate and never got them. I finally had to get up to ask another staff member for a plate. The food was also terrible! The hash brown was served cold and the French toast was super hard! I will never visit this place again nor recommend it to anyone. I would give zero stars if it was an option. read more

We used to visit San Diego a lot in our younger years and remembered a nice restaurant here (Jimmy's?). Seems to be a new one, but we stopped in for lunch anyway. The service was great. I had a club and my husband had a burger. Both were tasty and nice size servings (we could not finish). Not super fancy, but good food. read more
