We didn't have to wait, but by 10 AM, there was a waitlist. This location was a pretty reasonable size, and I thought all the food was delicious. Here's what I had. Avocado Benedict - My fav. It was creamy, and the eggs were super runny. The salad and potatoes were a nice addition to the entree. Solid. (5/5) BBQ Pulled Pork Omelette - They packed the omelette with pulled pork, and the flavors were good. Quite filling and very delicious. The pulled pork had a nice flavor. (4.5/5) Toffee Banana French Toast - The French toast was cooked perfectly. Not overly sweet, which I like, and had a nice crisp. Very good. (4.5/5) Potted Plant Latte - More for fun since it looks like a plant. It tastes almost like Starbucks. It's sweet, but if that's your thing, you'd enjoy it. Personally, I like my latte a bit less sweet. (4/5) Americano - Basic coffee, but it was good. I had this iced, and it was refreshing. (4/5) Overall, you can't go wrong with Popping Yolk. They're always pretty busy in the morning, so it's worth coming a bit earlier to beat the crowd. Parking - Plenty of lots nearby or street parking.

Today was definitely the perfect day. Knowing what I know now as I write this review, we would return & bring friends here. It's about 78 to 80°F on a Friday a few minutes before 1 pm, surprisingly, it was low key--only a couple tables taken indoors by patrons and a set of guys on the patio. At the door, it said to seat ourselves & I immediately shot to the patio. The set up: once seated, the server comes with menus, you order & it's a sit down meal. Giselle was our friendly & attentive server, young & attentive. Hubby ordered the breakfast burrito ($11.50) & I opted for build your own omelette $11.50 for a 3 egg omelette & choice of two items- mushroom and bell peppers accompanied with breakfast potatoes, and chilaquiles ($13.99) to share. The patio seating is fresh, airy, there are tables, outdoor furnitures (sofas) and bright orange umbrellas for shade. My photos captured these elements. The food arrived shortly, although not all at once. I didn't mind it all because the ambiance was so soothing with the sound of birds chirping away and the background of other patrons talking. The only complaint from Hubby was too many pototo chunks in his burrito. My omelette was hot, fresh ingredients, delectable & the potatoes were mixed with 3 colors of bellpeppers. Oh and the chilaquiles? Pretty darn good! The tortilla chips were crispy, perfect amount of green salsa, freshly diced onions & a sprinkling of cotija cheese. Was I famished or was it that good that I devoured everything? What's left was Hubby's potato chunk discards. Giselle returned a few times to ensure our experience is to our satisfaction & another staff also stopped by to check on us. Such a perfect meal & day-- I'm so happy with this visit. Parking is plentiful & free.

The decor…read moreis charming, warm, and thoughtfully done, and it has a lovely atmosphere that makes you want to settle in and enjoy the experience. Unfortunately, the food and service experience left me very disappointed. The menu is surprisingly rigid, particularly for anyone with dietary restrictions. There are very few vegan options, and what was most frustrating was the unwillingness to make even very simple accommodations to existing menu items. For example, I ordered a salad and simply asked for the steak to be served on the side rather than mixed into the salad. I wasn't asking for ingredients to be removed or for the dish to be changed--I was only asking for the steak to be served separately. I was told this could not be accommodated. For a restaurant at this level, I found that unnecessarily inflexible. The customer service also left a lot to be desired. I had an interaction with the supervisor, Santos, that felt particularly lacking in empathy and understanding. Even when a restaurant has policies or limitations, there is a way to communicate them with a little warmth and consideration. Unfortunately, that was not my experience. It's a shame because the restaurant has so much going for it visually and atmospherically. I really wanted the overall experience to match the beautiful setting, but the inflexible menu and customer service made it difficult to enjoy the visit. I hope the restaurant will consider offering more options for guests with dietary restrictions and empowering its staff to make reasonable accommodations.

I liked the pics on Yelp and so finally got to try it for brunch this week, and boy is this place GOOD! Parking can be a drag even on a weekday mid-morning despite there being a good amount of parking spots on the entire block. That was a hassle. Once I found something, I went into the place, which is a small breakfast joint - not divey or anything, but also not particularly decorated. Didn't really matter though. The star for me were the pancakes. I got the blueberry pancakes, a side of bacon, a side of their breakfast potatoes, and a glass of fresh lemonade. The lemonade was good and clearly made fresh in-house, I think. The bacon was good, but bacon is always good. The potatoes were nicely seasoned, which was good because lately I've tried way too many breakfast places with bland, sad potatoes. Not here. The pancakes were amazing. They are super fresh and fluffy and served with an amazing cookie butter syrup. It may sound sweet, but it's not overly so. I honestly think these are some of the best pancakes I've had in many years in all of Los Angeles. They were honestly that good. And, I don't usually rave about pancakes very often. Service was friendly, attentive, and accommodating. The place was doing a good amount of business considering I went when most people should be in school or work and too early for lunch. I highly recommend you try this place at least for breakfast, though they also serve lunch. It's a real gem, and I can't wait to go back!

I have also had a chance to taste their pastries and their cookies were always on point. The one thing that was truly a miss for me was their bagel. It's more breadlike than bagel. A bagel has a different texture, so I know I probably wouldn't go back for it, but I'd go back for their sandwiches and pastries. Parking is right next door at the parking structure rather than parking in front, unless you're picking up. The employees seem friendly and the place has been clean the times I've gone.

It's not even that small, and the well-lit venue was constantly full-house with another guests coming as some left. Thanks to the attentive service; despite it took awhile to get your orders taken, the foods were ready pretty swiftly. We got their #1 favorite, the Breakfast Plate, serving our choice of eggs, protein, salad, and hash brown. We picked scrambled eggs and medium hanger steak, both of which got us sold to, served in just right texture and very well seasoned. The thick hash brown was pleasingly unique, giving that crispy edge yet soft center. We went extra adding bacon slices and breakfast sausage; both of which worth adding despite being tad pricey.

Their bagels are always fresh, soft, chewy, and full of flavor. They're also a great deal at $3.50 each. On my recent visit, I tried their bagel sandwich with egg and bacon on a jalapeno and cheese bagel with cream cheese. The sandwich was so yummy! The scrambled egg was fluffy, and although the bacon wasn't super crispy, it was still tasty and paired well with the sandwich. It was also a great deal at $7.50. I have yet to try their drinks, but they have a variety of Filipino inspired lattes like ube and pandan. They even sell calamansi juice. Customer service is great! The only downside is the parking. They only have street parking, and it can be difficult to find a spot on busy days.

Overall it was just what you'd expect from a breakfast sandwich. The lox on a plain bagel was excellent. The bagel was fresh, toasted, and soft, and the salmon and veggies were fresh and crisp. It was flavorful and exactly what a lox bagel should be, and one of the best I've had. Both bagels were soft and delicious.
