A delicious meal! We ordered a breakfast bowl and the chicken and biscuits, and both were delicious. The sausage gravy was outstanding- perfect balance of creamy and spicy with visible chunks of sausage. The chicken on my chicken and biscuit was piping hot and juicy. Daughter loved her bowl which also had the delicious gravy. Service was excellent, with fresh Arnold Palmers delivered promptly and kept full. We wandered in around lunch time, coming from a hike out at Cincinnati Nature Center and looking for something close-ish but not a chain. This delivered! The location is a little obscure, in a little strip mall off Highway 32. Plenty of parking. The strip mall looks dated but don't be deterred! The interior of the restaurant is fresh, new, cute and clean. We were one of 4 sets of customers being served on a Wednesday lunch time. read more

A small little spot. The service was good. My eggs were perfectly prepared. I didn't try the avocado toast, but it still looked really good. The ambience was a little sanitized not real warm. But very clean. Places is easy to find in tons of parking. read more

Nothing to say positive about this place, sorry. Service is nonexistent, the food is terrible and it's dirty

I stopped here on my way home from church. The place, for being brunch time, wasn't super busy, but steady. Service was quick and the atmosphere, with its eclectic music, is very relaxed. I ordered the Works omelet, and they weren't kidding. This giant omelet, which I crushed, was loaded with a little of everything. The gravy, on top, was a white gray that was very neutral...not sagey or sausagey (my new made up words), so it didn't take away from the other flavors. Good portions, good food and convenient to home...me likey read more

This my second time here. I ordered an omelet with goetta and hash browns. The food is excellent. The restaurant is clean, the server is nice. I asked her if she knew how far it was to West Chester. She looked it up on her phone for me. I would stop here again! read more

Poked Yolk - a view of a coffee shop - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Batavia, Ohio

This was my second time here. I ordered the chicken and waffles with coffee, my granddaughter got the breakfast bowl. My food was good, hot and fresh. the coffee however was lukewarm at best. My granddaughter's bowl was not good. The potatoes had a burnt taste that I believe was burned garlic. The service was good, once she finally came back to take our order. It was surprising that it took her so long because there was only one other table in the restaurant when we got there. I was surprised that it was so slow at lunchtime on a Friday. We had high hopes for it, but we will not be back. I really hate to leave a negative review, but I have to tell the truth. read more

Sunday morning the place was not busy. When we finally received food everything was cold. Biscuits and gravy were cold, bacon was cold, hash browns were room temperature, waitress came back one time. Had to go up and ask for my check. The couple ahead of us had some complaints that I could not hear. Waitress tried to give them a discount card and they refuse. Said they would not be back. The waitress rolled her eyes at them when they walked away. Had to ask for a box for take out. Safe to say we will not be back. $36 for biscuits and gravy, bacon, two hash browns and toast read more

You can't improve. Dirty floors, dirty seats, dirty vents, dirty restaurant period. Western Omlete was horrible. Bacon was grease. How can you go wrong on bacon!!!! Noisy and loud talking in the kitchen. I could say more. I like small town diners. This I must say is the worst I have experienced in a while. Don't go. read more

Went here on a Sunday after church expecting to be busy and it was not. I was wondering if it had something to do with the labor shortage, and I think it did. We say ourselves but it took awhile for anyone to serve us or take our order. Then it took awhile to get our food. But I'm not complaining because I know how hard they were working and were still keeping a positive attitude. The food was good, your typical breakfast food. Nothing special but still very filling. read more

I have driven by a billboard for this place every day for months and finally decided to give it a try! Typically places a little further out from more populated places don't veer off the typical menu items often, so I was pleasantly surprised to see some interesting options at this little breakfast/brunch joint in Batavia. I had the chorizo breakfast tacos with a side of goetta (HAD to try it). Both were really good! The tacos were filled with chorizo and fluffy scrambled eggs and topped with cheese, pico de gallo and slices of avocado. A little hot sauce would have kicked it up a notch, but I'm not too big on spicy things at breakfast time. The goetta was homemade, which I find is always a treat! It was formed into thin patties and fried until the outside was delightfully crispy. Overall a great little joint that I will definitely be hitting up more often! read more

Great little spot. Went over on the 4th of July and wasn't too busy. One gal working and she was running non stop. Can't imagine if it was busier. She did great and had a great personality. read more

I had the breakfast burrito and I was impressed with how big it was and it tasted amazing! The young man who greeted me when I came in was also my waiter. He had a great attitude and was really friendly. This place is nicely decorated and has some great music playing in the background. I highly recommend this place if you are near Batavia. read more

My wife and I had a rough morning, visiting the ER at 3 in the morning, so when we left at about 7:30, we were not wanting to cook. Decided to stop here, where we've been eyeing for a few months. We don't usually get out to breakfast, so figured we'd take advantage of the opportunity. The restaurant had just opened less than an hour ago, so we were the first ones there. Our server got us drinks promptly, water for me and coffee for my wife. We looked over the menu, and my wife chose the veggie omelet, while I landed on the meat omelet (which I was delighted to note came not just with meat and cheese, but also mushrooms. I nice little addition that shows we meat lovers are not just one-dimensional carnivores). The food came out probably ten minutes later. Each meal also came with a side of breakfast potatoes and some nice thick buttered toast. I added a dab of ketchup to my omelet and dug in. Unfortunately, it was rather bland. Eggs basically only need salt to be quick tasty, but it seemed like they had none. There was of course salt and pepper at the table, but it doesn't give quite the same flavor. The bacon, sausage, and ham inside the omelet were good on their own, but didn't really blend with the flavors of the eggs too well. It seemed more like I was eating a bunch of separate ingredients than a meal. And the mushrooms were only half cooked. As for the sides, the potatoes were also lacking in seasoning and could have been crispier, but the buttered toast was actually quite tasty. My wife said she felt very similarly about her food as I did mine. She also thought the coffee was just okay. Overall, our service was good and prices were affordable, but the food itself was pretty lackluster. read more

This is an extremely cute, and well ran business! The food was way better than I expected. Way better quality than any breakfast I have had in a long time. Our server Phoenix was extremely nice the entire visit, always checking up on how our experience was. Free refills to top it all off. The price was very reasonable. The toast did not take 15 minutes, so do not believe the negative. 10/10 would recommend! Looking forward to coming back next week! read more

Just had an outstanding breakfast at this little gem. When we walked in we were impressed by the decor, the cleanliness, and the atmosphere. My husband's coffee and my tea was served in Crate & Barrel coffee mugs! Best coffee mug hands down! He said the coffee was outstanding. The menu has a variety of options. I ordered the Hot Brown, (I am a bit of a Hot Brown Snob). It was prepared with Ciabatta bread, Hollandaise sauce, and an egg on top, with a side of salt & pepper chips. I was skeptical since I am accustomed to the traditional recipe, but the meal was delicious. I could be mistaken but it seemed like they also took presentation into account. We are already making pans to return for the chorizo breakfast tacos! Well done Poked Yoke The an egg served with Salt and Pepper chips. read more

Batavia does not have many sit down restaurants except for the chains. This new breakfast place is doing a nice job of serving great breakfast at a very good price. The longer they are open the more they will improve on ingredients to enhance flavors. I had the ham omelet with home fries both items were good just did not have a lot of flavor. But once again for a new place where they are. I can enjoy and appreciate the food for the value. read more

Service was slow. The most uncomfortable chairs I've ever tried to sit in. You'll be in them a while because as slow as the service is getting your food is just as slow. You don't get your meal all at once. You get in stages. Eggs are way overcooked. "Sausage" gravy had no sausage in it. Seriously the chairs alone are reason enough to keep us from ever going back. read more

The only reason they get 1 star is because the server was nice. I ordered the avocado toast. The description states, 'fresh avocado topped with bacon, tomatoes, and onion, and a sunny side up egg.' Sounds great! It comes out, and the egg is completely cold. I'm assuming this is because the avocado, tomato, onion, and bacon mixture has come straight out of the freezer. The onions and avocado were translucent and rubbery; there was no flavor at all, and the egg was undercooked. I scraped the nasty mixture off and spread some jelly on the dry toast. My dad ordered a meat omelet with a side of crispy hash browns. The "omelet" was nothing more than scrambled eggs folded over the meat, and his hash browns were burnt and inedible. My son good the doughnut holes, and they were overcooked and greasy, but he enjoyed them anyway. They also charged $3.00 for a kids' apple juice. The table across from us got burnt bacon and asked for a new order that was less crispy. The waitress brought out more bacon that looked exactly the same as the first batch. I don't think the cooks know what they're doing. We will not be going back. read more

The service was horrible. We walked in and sat ourselves down, after 5-10 minutes the waitress came over and took our drink order. She came back with our drinks and took our food order. We proceeded to sit there for 45 minutes waiting on our food. We had places to be and so we left after waiting 45 minutes and didn't get to eat. While we were sitting there waiting, we saw numerous people standing at the front desk waiting for someone to come and so could pay. There were 10+ people standing at the door waiting for tables to be cleaned so they could sit down. read more

Food was great , service good but the ambiance was a little loud which was annoying at times. But good food and good coffee. Which is the most important. Just don't go with a headache. read more

This place has really good food and the price is really reasonable. I took my daughter and she love it

Food is pretty tasty and reasonably priced. The restaurant is clean and service is good.

First time here and was impressed. My wife had the breakfast tacos and I had the western omelette. Both had chorizo and wow it gave each of our orders that little bit of kick. Service was fantastic and ambience was very casual and relaxing. We will definitely be back to try more of their menu items. read more

Terrible service and attitude is why I left before I even ordered food. Set there 20 minutes at a table and they still hadn't even taken a order for drinks read more

Food is good and hot ,service was good. Prices are comparable. Atmosphere is decent. We will definitely be back for breakfast or brunch.

OUTSTANDING food, service and environment. The best brunch in Clermont. When you think of a brunch chain who do you think of? Don't take a "Second Look" anywhere else this is the new goto spot. These owners will roll this across the city with great success. read more

TERRIBLE SERVICE! Ordered breakfast and toast left off order. Phoenix the waiter said hed have it out on 1 min. 15 min later, no toast. He blamed the other waitress. Finally brought it out AFTER breakfast was eaten. It was COLD! HE said better late than never. Hes an idiot. read more

Sat down at 11:15 and the food didn't come out til 12:35. Very dissatisfied with the food. Ended up getting the chicken hash and it was a cut up chicken strip thrown into a bowl that tasted like garbage. Not coming back. read more

While it is nice to have a new small breakfast spot I'm Batavia this place is kind of a let down. It had cool decor but the actual food and drink part was extremely lacking. The food was heavily under seasoned, the iced coffee was just watered down hot coffee (and only one flavor option - vanilla), and everything just tasted boring. I got the breakfast tacos and was extremely let down - first the "plate" couldn't even hold the tacos so it was a huge mess. The eggs were bland and the homemade pico was just cut up tomatoes. We also had the breakfast bowl (bland and egg way overcooked) and pancakes (bland and extremely dry). For the total cost it wasn't really worth it and we will most likely not check this place out again. read more

Guys I know your new to door dash so I'll give you some heads up why my order went totally wrong: Driver brought wrong order, not surprising because you have no name on the bag nor does it have a receipt. Check your order against drivers delivery order, have them hold up the phone. People who order dash services could be anywhere. So provide a plastic fork and some napkins so they can eat the food you send and not wipe there hand on their pants. If your serving a bland food like eggs or biscuits and gravy, toss in a packet of salt and pepper Get seals for the bags so customer knows it has not been tampered with. read more

We were impressed. The biscuits are fluffy and buttery and the pancakes smelled like cupcakes. Everything we had was really good. The gravy is peppery but we like that. We will eat here again. read more

We tried this place out on a Saturday. Excellent customer service, delicious food, light and airy atmosphere. There is outdoor seating if you desire. We will make this a staple for East Side dining! read more

I enjoyed the entire experience. The staff was friendly, and the food was fast and fresh. They know what they are doing when it comes to a home cooked breakfast. read more

Poked Yolk - Traditional breakfast platter - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Batavia, Ohio

A very cute spot in a strip mall in Batavia. The decor is nicely done and the menu looks tempting and leans hipster at first glance, with options like Beyond Burgers (no beef burgers at all!). The wait staff is also very friendly and accommodating. However for a place trying to cater to newer sensibilities, a lot is off the mark with the food. There was a lack of seasoning pervasive across everything. (When an omelette that has bacon, sausage and ham in it needs salt, that's a bad sign.) The "waffled" biscuit is just a biscuit, left to go cold and then briefly reheated in a waffle iron. (I would've imagined biscuit dough thrown directly into a waffle iron based on their description.) The eggs in the breakfast bowl were a single disc of overcooked beaten egg, again lacking in seasoning. The restaurant also has no butter! There is a whipped soybean oil spread at the table and the waitress confirmed their biscuits are made with "liquid margarine" (huh?!). A breakfast spot with no butter in the house is no breakfast spot to me. For a place striving to replicate First Watch's formula there is a lot that needs fixing with the food. But maybe it won't matter, there's not a lot of competition around here, so maybe what they're doing is just enough. Still, I'd love to see the care placed in the decor and wait staff's attentiveness carry over into the food itself. read more

Service was bad. Girls have a dad attitude. Sad. Food seemed okay but won't be back because of service

Service was phenomenal, very clean and modern place you'd like to enjoy breakfast and soon to be drinks coming soon! Can't wait to see where this place goes! GO MIKE DAVID read more

Two stars only for the clean transitional style of the place. I love the updated decor but the food was quite disappointing in the lack of quality ingredients. Sausage gravy, biscuits, potatoes all bland and a bit strange. No butter available or used in the cooking process. Generic ketchup and junky jelly. Eggs were a dry brown disc. Pancakes were dense and tasteless, again no butter and no real maple syrup though it lists maple syrup on the menu. read more
