    The food here is delish. I had the mushroom eggs Benedict, and I was so glad they did a half portion. The full portion is $16.95 and half is 13.95, which doesn't seem like a big difference; however, the half is not really half. The Benedict sandwich was still filling and there was a hefty portion of truffle potatoes to accompany it. With my re-fillable black coffee, it ended up just over $18 before the tip. It may seem pricey for a breakfast, but the taste was delicious and it was well-prepared. Plus, where else can you get truffle potato wedges with your eggs? Mmm! The space is bright and well-organized. There are booths, long tables and bar seating. If you sit by the window, you get a view of the street and passers by. I recommend this spot and plan to return again.

    Food was the highlight of our visit to yolks. The service was not great, They were not giving us the time of day. We got a chi late and it was not good at all. But the food was delicious so we still enjoyed ourselves. Oh, and they charge $4 for a side of hollandaise, which I thought was pretty pricy.

    Tiny trailer, yummy goodness.

    Wow, who knew a food truck breakfast could be so awesome? Yolks has it all figured out and is a definite "must-visit" on our frequent trips to Vancouver. First things first, their coffee is AMAZING! I can't remember the brand, but it's awesome, and I like to get a big cup to sip while awaiting the yummy goodness that awaits. For our first visit to Yolks we shared a breakfast sandwich and their famously fantastic truffle potatoes on a stick - the taters are worth the trip, and are delicious. The sandwich was also amazing, with a perfectly poached egg nestled between two crisply english muffin halves, garnished with thick bacon, and doused with creamy hollandaise sauce. On our next visit we fully intended to enjoy another breakfast sandwich, but when we found out they had pancakes on the menu that day we ordered those instead - again, we had an overwhelmingly wonderful breakfast experience (which is saying something since you have to sit outside on a wall to eat it - this place is THAT good). Prices are reasonable and the service is friendly. Prepare to wait in line, but they get your order out as quickly as they can (and nice and hot). Damn, suddenly I'm craving one of those potato skewers again!

    I've never had a bad meal here. I would say it's well worth the wait but today the line went pretty quick and the hostess was calling out names quickly. It was supposed to be 45 minutes but we were seated in 15! My wife had the French toast and she said it was the best she's ever had! I was recommended the Pork Belly Benedict and it didn't disappoint. See you again soon!

    Such a cute breakfast place. The food is so good and the hash browns are the best! I got the avocado eggs Benedict.

    Breakfast food cart? Yes I'm in! During the 9-5 work week it's hard to find a small, quick breakfast before I head to the office. I love having an egg sandwich in the morning but the hard part is finding someone that actually makes a decent egg sandwich that wasn't prepared hours ago. I often find myself heading to McDonald's for an Egg McMuffin - at least they are *almost* made to order. Enter Yolk's Breakfast food cart located on Beatty & Dunsmuir St - conveniently at the top of the stadium skytrain station. For me it's perfect, I can park on the street if I'm driving to work or if I'm on my bike it's right on the Dunsmuir bike lane. 3 minutes after my order I got my ham, spinach, egg and hollandaise on a toasted english muffin. I would have liked some cheese in there but I wasn't going to complain. The egg was poached perfectly and the hollandaise was delicious, I'm happy. The downside is trying to eat a runny poached egg breakfast sandwich by hand, a challenge I gladly accepted. I look forward to making this part of my regular breakfast routine.

    If Yolk's truffle-lemon hashbrown skewer were a man, I would be too nervous to talk to him. Unless I was tipsy, and then i'd say something wildly inappropriate. Seriously. I have a mad crush on these potatoes. I've heard the buzz on Yolk's for quite awhile but never had the chance to stop by until Food Cart Fest. On launch day, by the time I made it back for a meal they were nearly sold out and so i hastily ordered what was left - a double smoked bacon sandwich with two poached eggs & hollandaise sauce on ciabatta. The potatoes were an after thought. And thus began the obsession. First off, my spud crush is deceivingly simple. When I got my rather plain looking skewer of nugget potatoes I thought... well nothing really. It was a stick of potatoes. How magical could that be? Turns out, very. These potatoes are some of the best things i've eaten this year. Well cooked and SO flavourful without being super overpowering. I could have eaten four servings, no problem. Damn fine spuds. Whatever you happen to head to Yolk's for, grab a skewer and see for yourself. They were out of the chicken and waffles so I settled on a double smoked bacon sandwich with two poached eggs & hollandaise sauce on ciabatta. Ddddaaammmnnnnn. I was a darn fine sandwich. And I finally understand the mention of "Yolk fingers". Those eggs will explode in yolky goodness and make this a messy but ultimately insanely satisfying experience. The sandwich was SO good that I made an extra, out of the way trip, back down this past weekend to relive it. But word of warning - take multiple napkins and perhaps not order this if you're in your Sunday best. I'm so looking forward to trying out the rest of their menu in the coming weeks because so far, Yolk's can do no wrong.

    Well unfortunately we had a terrible food poisoning experience at the food truck about a month ago. My spouse had eaten a raw breakfast sandwich which we waited 30mins for so was a bit confusing. Picture of meal is attached. After he ate half the sandwich it caught my eye :( He became ill by the evening but nothing serious was fine the following day.The Yolks owner was contacted and was very apologetic and understanding and picture was sent to him and he did say he spoke to his staff regarding the incident. He then sent us a 40$ gift card to his restaurant location where we have always had a pleasant visit but will be sticking to chicken and waffles from now on.

    I never knew that such high quality breakfast could come from a food truck. My double -smoked-bacon eggs Benedict on a whole wheat ciabatta bun with creamy hollandaise and arugula zapped my taste buds awake before my eyes even adjusted to the morning light. I'm now officially ready for anything that this day throws at me. Shout out to yelper Lindsay Woods (from WRG Mag) for turning me on to this place.

    walked over a mile just to try this! It's a truck that's parked on the corner of Beatty and Dunsmuir. Great place to get some food. It does take a while to make, so don't get this unless you have at least 5 minutes to wait. There's a menu posted on the side of the truck, and how it works is you choose what type of meat (or vegetable) you want, then you choose what type of sauce (hollandaise or cheddar), then you choose whether or not you want 1 egg or double everything. If you chose 1 egg, your food will come between an English muffin. If you chose to double everything, you get to choose between Benedict style or on Chibatta. I got the Ham/Hollandaise/Double everything/Benedict style, and it was amazing. I engulfed my food, and it goes GREAT with their orange juice. Freshly squeezed and perfect for the morning. I also recommend getting the Truffle-Lemon Hashbrown Skewer. It comes with about 5 or 6 pieces of potato on a skewer, and they go great while you eat your poached egg (especially once all that yolk has dripped out!). The problem I do have with this place is the price and the portion size. If you just order what I described above (with NO drink or Skewer) and you double everything, it comes out to OVER $10. Not only that, the order is pretty small. Even after my double everything, hashbrown skewer, and orange juice, I was still a little hungry and dissatisfied. Nonetheless, this place is more about quality than it is about quantity. Make sure you double everything though!

    I decided to stop by on a Sunday morning. Yolk's is located right next to the Skytrain station, so it is pretty convenient if you are taking the skytrain. I drove there, but was able to find street parking pretty easily. Just had to walk around all the people waiting for Cafe Medina down the street (people waiting on both the sunny and shaded sides of the street, which is pretty interesting). There were only two people ahead of me, but after ordering, we sill had to wait about 15 minutes for the food. We ordered: Banana pancakes: this came with whipped cream and syrup, and was pretty good (pricey at $8.45). Double egg, bacon, hollandaise sandwich on English muffin (8.95). I had this done in eggs Benedict style. This dish was really good, with the requisite runny eggs and crispy bacon. Truffle lemon potato skewer (2.75). This is a deep fried potato skewer: I really liked how the lemon highlighted the taste of the potatoes. If you are in the area, or don't feel like waiting for brunch at Cafe Medina, definitely try this place out. The food was pretty good, although a little expensive (22.00 for three items), but fair for Canada. Another plus: they take credit cards.

    I saw pictures of Yolk's sandwich on Twitter somewhere and got really excited to try them out. I went down for lunch one day and happened to just end up behind a group of maybe 5 or 6 that ordered practically everything. They weren't really prepared to handle so many people I guess, because it took a good 15 min just to order and then a good 30 min to get our food. I had the Panko-Tempura Avocado w/ Salsa Verde + Real Hollandaise + 1 egg on an English Muffin AND added extra double smoked bacon ($7.50 + 2.75). On picture everything looks amazing. The eggs were perfectly poached, the avocado had a nice crispy tempura exterior, and the bacon was nice and crispy as well. Make sure you aim away when you bite into it, because the yolk just shoots right out! Taking the first bite into, it's a bit of a disappointment as everything seems a tad under seasoned. Nothing really stood out, and the hollandaise sauce was surprisingly really light. Next time I think I'll have to add some spicy sauce or something to really add some kick. The Truffle-Lemon Hashbrown skewers ($3.50) were pretty good. Nice truffle flavour, but I think they were slightly over salted, which might have contributed to my bland experience w/ the sandwich. Regardless, this one is a winner so make sure you order the skewers!

    Pretty busy for Friday lunch!

I did have a reservation which they charge $10/person for, purely for donation to a charity and does not contribute to your meal at all, and also nonrefundable. While I find this somewhat annoying, I dont blame them for doing this from a business standpoint. They always have a lineup so there is no shortage of customers for them. There is no reason they need to deal with the headache of a ton of reservations. On the flip side, they honoured my reservation in a very timely fashion and I bypassed the line, so props to them for doing that part right.

He suggested a Benedict dish, but I'm not a fan of runny eggs. I had already decided on the El Camino poutine and plot twist....it also came with two runny poached eggs. Even so, it was still delicious, mainly because the yolk texture wasn't an issue with the crema on the dish. That poutine was an easy 9/10. It came loaded with cheese curds, pork carnitas that weren't dry at all, bacon, pinto beans, roasted pineapple for a little sweetness, salsa, jalapeños, pickled onions, salsa verde, cilantro crema, and spinach. The herb potatoes were seasoned so well too. All in all, a great last meal in Vancouver from the food to the service (even beyond Dursh, everyone was helpful) to the patio vibe. Great spot.

I was there early at 10 am-ish, and from the outset, I was impressed: exposed brick wall, long counter and display case, fully stocked with the most beautiful pastries and tarts and cakes, and lovely looking sandwiches, too....Just lovely. I ordered a tea from the guy taking the orders. At the check-out, the woman working the cashier was the most unfriendly, aloof person I have ever encountered at a Breka. She was downright dour. Never looked up, never smiled, said I owed X for the tea I ordered, gave me a receipt and said I was "number 3", no "thank you" (despite my saying thanks!), nothing. She looked really unhappy and bothered to be there. (I sat at a nearby table, waiting for my number to be called. I saw her interactions with all the people behind me - and there were quite a few, as it got suddenly busy in the cafe. She was cold and unfriendly to everyone in line as she rang them all up. These are mostly tourists! Why have a dour, borderline-hostile woman at the check-out counter of a busy cafe in a touristy part of our city? I just don't get it). Anyhow, I waited 10 minutes to hear my number called, but I never heard it. I walked up to the take-out area and there was my tea, on a receipt that said "number 3". Did they call out my number? I honestly don't know. I was seated at a table a few feet from the area and listening for my number and I didn't hear it called. I was not impressed with this set-up. Not at all. My friend arrived and got a chocolate concoction which looked amazing, and he loved it, so there's that. I still love Brekas but I probably won't return to this site. Between the cold experience at the cash and the prolonged waiting for my order (a cup of tea!), and not being sure if my order number was ever called, it just all left me with a bitter taste in my mouth.

    This place was absolutely worth it…read more We stayed at the Fairmont which made this super convenient. The staff was super friendly and accommodating. The menu selection for adults and kids was excellent. And the food was just fine right and at a good quality. The star is the high tea. If you've never done high tea before definitely do it here. We go regularly and experienced some of the best one's in the US. This i think is the best or second best I've ever had. The value is there. The ambience was exquisite. The charm was there. And the food was excellent. Every bite was executed well. We even had vegetarians with us which sometimes get short changed and they got as good of an experience as we did.

    I have to say, I was seriously impressed with this Sakura-themed high tea…read more Came here for a birthday treat thanks to a friend, and it ended up being such a great experience from start to finish. The service was warm and attentive without being overbearing, and the food? So much of it. We actually had to take some home, which almost never happens with high tea. The pastries and sandwiches were not only beautifully presented, but also creative and well-executed--nothing felt like filler. You can tell there was real thought put into the menu. The space itself is elegant and charming, making it perfect for a pre-spring outing, a catch-up with friends, or a low-key celebration. Would I come back? Absolutely--especially for a themed menu like this.

    Tasty!! We just got…read moreoff of a cruise and were looking for somewhere close for breakfast and stumbled across this place near our hotel. We were having gorgeous weather in Vancouver so we decided to eat on the covered patio. The place is pretty cozy, but was only moderately busy when we went. They have a pretty good menu with lots a Benedict's and a build your own breakfast option that seemed pretty nice. I took the recommendation from our server and got the bacon benny. It did not disappoint. I think I have recently discovered that I love poached eggs and these were perfect. The yolk was nice and runny and the white was firm but not hard. I like to cut in to my egg and have it run down and get messy on the plate. The hollandaise was excellent. So many breakfast places will serve it broken, but not here. It had the perfect amount of lemon, butter ratio for my taste and I really enjoyed it. The bacon was good, not to salty, and the english muffin was, well, an English muffin from a package that they toasted and out on the plate. I did splurge and paid the extra dollar for the truffle potatoes and they were very good. I love truffle oil on potatoes so I am a sucker for it whenever its on a menu. You just cant mess it up. Fried potatoes, truffle oil, and a lemon squeeze to bring it all together. My wife got the brunch burger and she loved it. It was a messy breakfast burger that a lot of places have but this one was done right. A poached oozy egg, on a burger patty with american cheese, the best burger cheese in my opinion, bacon, hollandaise and arugula on a brioche bun! It came with tater tots and they were nice and crispy just like she likes them. Well, why didn't I give it five stars you may be asking? Great question. Here it is, each plate came with a side that was just awful. Mine had some "fresh" fruit that nearly made me laugh. It consisted of the saddest, limpest piece of watermelon I have ever seen this side of a trash can. I also had an old crusty orange wedge and a single grape. My wife got a slimy side salad that I think was holding on for dear life. Both, we deemed inedible and moved on immediately. I think there is a rule, or at least there should be one, in restaurants that if you wouldn't eat it then don't serve it. There might be another one that says if you eat rotten food maybe get a different job and see rule one. Overall, we liked the place and would go back. We would just avoid the salads and fresh fruit and stick to the food they cook.

    Second time here, and while the food is very good, the fantastic service is what stands out the…read moremost. But first, the food - I ordered scrambled eggs, chicken apple sausage and paid an extra $1 for truffled lemon potatoes. The verdict? 4 out of 5. I'd ordered the eggs "very soft" and they verged on medium-firm. They still tasted good. I'll gladly pay extra for the truffled potatoes next time. My husband ordered the salmon avocado benny. While he loved the tomato soup he chose on the side, he was less enamoured by the benny itself. I had a taste and was underwhelmed by a forkful of overripe avocado and slightly fishy-tasting salmon. We finished with an order of beignets which despite being freshly-fried, were bland; although the accompanying strawberry sauce was deliciously tangy-sweet. Onto the service. This place spins like a top, and I mean that in a good way. Although we came at a peak time, all front of the house staff we encountered -- from the hostess to our bubbly server, to the smooth manager -- struck a perfect balance of being in flow, working flawlessly together, and maintaining light conversation with us. Exemplary. 5 stars out of 5.
