b.a.e. + dirty tots
Yutaka R.

Smooth & sweet service. Love the ambiance of warm welcoming family vibes. The b.a.e sandwich hit the spot so satisfying w/a harmony of soft scrambled eggs, perfect baked brioche croissant like bun, crispy bacon, the icing on the cake imo the spicy aioli that harmonized the sandwich & lets not forget the cado that satiated & satisfied the palette perfectly. The furikake tots curry sauce was smackinn w/a over easy on the top was so satisfy to share w/friends. Really appreciate the quality of everything especially the drinks as well.

Brioche Melt,  Spam, matcha latte and pineapple & oranges.

They have a great delicious food, cute place, ambiance is great. Service is great and fast

Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice
Clarissa P.

Tried Mad Yolks in San Jose and got the fresh-squeezed orange juice, dirty tots, breakfast burrito, and breakfast burger. Overall, everything was good! The dirty tots were really good, crispy and flavorful, and I liked that the curry flavor wasn't too strong. The breakfast burrito was packed with eggs and bacon and had a lot of filling. We thought they had forgotten the potatoes, though, because we couldn't find any in the burrito. I looked through it pretty thoroughly, and even one of the workers checked with us, but we couldn't find them. They gave us potatoes on the side, but after eating half of the burrito, we found that there were actually two small pieces of potato hiding at the bottom so I do think they should add more potatoes! The breakfast burger was good, although the patty was a little dry for my taste. The restaurant itself is pretty small but there was a decent amount of seating. It was pretty crowded when we came, but our food came out pretty quickly, about 15 minutes. The only downside is that I thought the prices were a little steep but everything is kind of expensive nowadays. Parking also kind of sucks in this small lot. Still, overall, we enjoyed everything and will definitely be back if in the area. .

b.a.e. $ strawberry matcha latte

We came here on a Sunday morning and it was pretty crowded in there. The food came out pretty fast and there was seating but it was all filled. We found seating outside. For drink I got the matcha strawberry latte and it was good and not overly sweet. I ate the bacon avocado egg sandwich and it was pretty good! The mad chick looked good and filling too!

Menu: - BAE: fluffy scrambled eggs, so savory - Mad Chick: chicken is thick and juicy, buns are fluffy and soft, comes with a fried egg but a little runny yolk (which made it even better and filling). Been wanting to go here ever since it first opened in the Bay, and I love eggs.. There's plenty of seating inside and outside. Overall, I love the egg decor, the thick portion sizes, and food is so savory and crispy!

This place is hidden in a small strip mall. It's a small place with a few tables. The entire time I was there, the place was constantly busy. It was difficult to decide what to order. I was there during brunch time so I went for the breakfast burger. It was amazing. The buns are super soft. The egg was fried well. The burger is very flavorful and messy in a good way. I debated on getting some tots. It is a pretty filling burger. It's hard to mess up tots so sure it would have tasted fine. Also tried the b.a.e. burger too. It was good too. The coffee is also good. The prices are ok. I would definitely come back to try other items on the menu. I'm curious if the fruit teas are any good. Next time.

First time here - very yummy! My sandwich was absolutely amazing! SHROOMS: soft scrambled egg, fontina cheese, sauteed mushroom medley, camelized onions & Mad Yolks garlic aioli on a brioche bun. oh, and beware.... these sandwiches are very messy .. in a delicious way :) The staff were working like crazy but were still very nice and pleasant! It is a small place, I think they can only seat ~15'ish, but they do have some tables outside. Take out is also a great option, you can order ahead and pick up. Parking could be tricky - it is a small parking lot, so be prepared to be on the hunt for a spot when the complex is busy. Would I go back? YES!!

b.a.e. , jasmine lemonade
Zenny D.

Mad Yolks is still amazing! It's so funny seeing their customers go from Willow Glen locals casually grabbing a bite during the weekdays to Gen Z forming lines out the door by the weekend. The workers are super nice too. LYCHEE LEMONADE (5/5) - I never thought I'd need a lychee lemonade in my life but now i can't live without it. Subtle taste of lychee but the lemonade's on the sweeter side. Pairs well with the sando~ B.A.E (5/5) - I literally tried this during their grand opening and never looked back. It was so good and continues to be good! I think if they're busy they don't give you as many avocado slices. CURRY MOCO (4.5/5) - I've always been intrigued by this and finally gave it a try. Firstly we were hit with the aromatic scent of curry which excited us. The katsu was tender and crispy and absorbed a good portion of that thick curry. Yummy!! The egg was a nice touch as well. PARKING - It sucks, but there are a lot of new successful businesses in this plaza which makes me happy to see, they were definitely struggling to find tenants for a while. Park down Willow near the offices and get a few steps in. Overall, I'm happy this spot is doing well.

Mad Chick

I stopped into Mad Yolks on a Friday afternoon and found it mostly empty. The interior had a casual vibe, with lots of natural light, some indoor seating, and funky egg-themed decor. I ordered the Mad Chick and an iced Lilikoi Green Tea. Staff members were friendly and service was pretty fast! The Lilikoi Green Tea was delicious. The crunchy passionfuit seeds were awesome and the sweetness level wasn't overwhelming. I liked the Mad Chick, but can't say it was my favorite fried chicken sandwich of all time. It had a surprising kick to it and the breading on the chicken was a little thick for me. However, I did like the basil aoili and house-baked brioche bun. Would come back to try more items!

Peter X.

Pretty disappointed with this place. In my opinion everything is overpriced for mid food. The fried chicken in the sandwich was tender but it had no seasoning; the flavor came entirely from the sauces. The tater tots were soggy (because we got take out, I made sure to try them right when we got them) and tasted like it was fried in the same oil as the chicken which would be concerning for vegetarians. The matcha latte had clumps of matcha. The rice in the curry was also very soggy. Not a good experience.

BAE, mad chick, and Alex's iced cafe with chicory and condensed milk
Scott F.

The sandos taste as good as they look: - 5/5: b.a.e. sando $13.95. Great bun, light fluffy eggs, aioli sauce has a kick. - 5/5: Mad Chick sando $14.25. Great coating on the chicken. Discard one bun and eat it open-face for amplified flavor. - 2/5: Iced coffee with condensed milk $5.50. Not as good as the many Viet places in San Jose.

menu
Ashley T.

overall: 5/5 came sunday around noon and this place is packed! parking is also rough since it's a small lot. service is relatively fast for how many people there were mad chick: 5/5, imo this place's idea is similar to egghead sando but this place is def better!! alex's coffee: 5/5, it's just viet coffee but isn't too sweet or watery! would come back again!

strawberry matcha latte & cafe latte
Sheila T.

Round 2!! Brought the girlfriends to try out the sandwiches on a Saturday morning. Had to get the strawberry matcha latte again. They get pretty busy & I see a lot of to-go orders as well! Ordered the BAE sandwich without the spicy aioli. Definitely will come back again.

Aesthetically, the space is gorgeous... though in hindsight, it feels like the budget went into the decor rather than what's on the plate. Tuna Crudo: A standout. Fresh, balanced, and easily the highlight of the meal. Lobster Tagliatelle: Good, but stingy. The flavors worked, but hunting for lobster in a lobster pasta shouldn't be part of the experience. The two bites with actual meat were great; the rest was just pasta. Beet Risotto: The biggest disappointment. Maybe the concept was just too avant-garde for my palate, but the earthy beet and pungent goat cheese felt at odds rather than harmonious. Worth a visit for drinks and crudo to enjoy the atmosphere, but the rest of the menu left me wanting.

Grab yourself a reservation ‍…read more Decided to take my dad out for his birthday and when looking for a restaurant, The Club on Post popped up and looked delicious. When walking, we missed the restaurant initially because this place is clearly, a hidden gem, especially being hidden along the nightclub strip. We were blown away by the curated vibes. From the thoughtful decor to The Office being projected on the wall. It felt hip, fresh and refined. We decided to craft our own drinks - Arnold Palmers, his favorite. But they only had sparkling lemonade, which actually made it even better. We shared a salad that had some cooked pears and squash alongside the greens, walnuts, cranberries and blue cheese. I do feel like the cooked sweet elements overpowered the salad with their sweetness and textures a bit. Wondering if a refreshing pear for crunch or more dressing could have brightened it up and provided a salty, sweet balance. I ordered the Short Ribs with a parsnip purée and roasted carrots and it did not disappoint. Everything paired beautifully together, perfectly salted and cooked. I finished the entire plate. Dad got the Pork Chop and while it was overcooked, he loved the flavors happening in the dish and was pleasantly surprised by the refreshing treatment of the kale. The staff was attentive and very friendly. Overall a great experience. We would definitely come back!

It was perfect for an early morning to give me energy and the cheese and egg blended so well together and the pesto cheese was actually really good with it. They ran out of jalapeño cheese bagels, which is my favorite around eight in the morning for a Saturday, but I'm glad I got to try another flavor. The people here are really nice. I was debating between two cream cheese flavors and then they said I could do half-and-half which I loved. The Greek goddess spread is also amazing. Same with the honey walnut. I even got little chunks of walnut in the cream which I did not expect. I'll definitely be coming back. It's a little store with chairs and tables outside where you can eat at.

Ambience kind of reminds me of an open tavern, but more... modernized and simplified I guess?

Food came out fairly fast too! Ordered the Breakfast sando, The Chick, Hojicha tea, and brownie sugar Hojicha Latte. Sandos were both very delicious. Breakfast one had beef and with sauce made it quite a messy eat. The Chick featured a giant piece of taiwanese fried chicken. Solid crisp and great spiced seasoning. Fair warning- the chicken feels like its never going to end. It took me 5 minutes from one and of the chicken to reach my actual sando. Neither of these are easy to eat. Be prepared to unhinge that jaw. Drinks were solid! Personally my hojicha tea was a tad on the bitter side, but the sweetener helped. Worth it stop if you're in the downtown SJ area.

Overall, it's just a nice, low-key place for a casual bite. Nothing overly fancy, but definitely somewhere I'd go back to when I'm in the mood for a good sandwich and a relaxed atmosphere.

The service was top notch, all the servers and wait staff have great energy and move quickly! My server Roxanne was attentive, kind and helpful in deciding on what to get. I started with the Cookie Monster Latte, a cookie butter brown sugar latte with cold foam, a brown sugar, cookie crumb rim, Biscoff cookie crumbles and topped with a Biscoff cookie. 10 out of 10 would recommend! To start I ordered the Midtown Trio which comes with any 3 of their signature pancakes or French toast. I chose Peach Cobbler Pancake, Tiramisu Pancake and Classic Brioche French Toast, all were delicious! The peach cobbler one needed a lil something extra, maybe a peach,brown sugar and cinnamon syrup type vibe to it. My favorite out of the three was the Tiramisu, while the pancake itself wasn't soaked in espresso, I could tell they threw a little in the batter and that mascarpone cream on top really set it off! The Brioche French toast is a classic and hard to mess up and they definitely are doing it justice here. It was fluffy cinnamony and had the right amount of egg. For my main course, I ordered the Santa Maria Skillet with Coffee Cake and the Midtown Duo from their Chef Benedict's Selection, I chose one Surf and Turf Bene and one Crab Cake Bene with hash browns. The Hollandaise on both was silky, creamy and rich. The surf and turf was stacked with shrimp and nice piece of steak, I will say the steak was a bit chewy. While the Crab cake was loaded with REAL crab meat and fried to perfection. I'd highly recommend both options. 10/10 overall experience, will be returning.

We made a reservation ahead of time since we didnt want to wait to be seated on a Saturday. When we first got there at 1 pm, it was super busy. They were getting the table ready when we got there. We ate and lingered for awhile and by the time we left, the lunch crowd was dying down. Service was friendly and great despite them being so busy. I ordered the fish tacos and they were good. Not the best I have ever had, but good nevertheless. I was surprised that the tacos had a flour tortilla. I didn't really read the description on the menu, I just saw fish tacos and knew that's what I wanted for lunch. A fish taco on a flour vs corn tortilla is a debate, it just comes to personal preference but it does change the flavor. I prefer corn tortillas but I did enjoy these tacos on a flour tortilla. The fish was crispy, but I felt like something was missing overall from the tacos...seasoning, maybe? My friends all enjoyed their meal selections. Portions were decent for the price and the prices were reasonable. They have indoor and outdoor seating. We choose to sit inside since it was sooo hot and we wanted to be cool as we were enjoying our meal.

It's a huge restaurant, with great lighting. The outside seating looks just as nice as the inside. It's a nice neighborhood so the outside seating is a good option. I won't be back. The food was just not worth it.
