Second time here, and while the food is very good, the fantastic service is what stands out the most. 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. read more

went for a quick brunch because it has been a while since i have visited. I chose the buttermilk fried chicken waffle bennies with a side of fresh fruits. The sauce was good as always and the 2 eggs were well made. Chicken was good and not dry. however the waffle was a bit chewy. service was good and friendly and it is still my go to for bennies read more

Tasty!! We just got off 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. read more

Came here with my bestie on a girls-weekend trip to Vancouver and it was such a cute little spot. The food was very very good, so good and filling we couldn't eat the entire thing. The employees were very helpful, kind and fast. Street parking is minimal since we are in the heart of downtown but easily walkable from most places. We walked here from the waterfront and I think it was just about a 20 min walk. read more

Overall: Delicious and would come back every so often. Food: 9/10. Eggs were cooked perfectly, sea sage and bacon were yummy and the toast was toasted perfect. Only criticism is the tots, some were extremely crunchy, to the point I couldn't stab my fork through it. Their in-house spicy ketchup was so good. Service: Very friendly, but only came to our table once to check on us and never again. I even said to come back in 5ish minutes while I look for a drink; needless to say didn't order a drink. Ambiance: 10/10, great window view if you're in the corner, otherwise outdoor and indoor seating is plenty. read more

Omg, I can't stop thinking about our brunch here! I had this bookmarked because of the reviews and it was a short walk from our hotel. We arrived around 11:30 so it was during their peak brunch hours. The atmosphere was bustling with so many patrons, both inside and on their patio, but luckily we got seated right away. Everything that we ordered was delish! From the chicken and waffles, the portobello mushroom breakfast sandwich, BEC Fri-Tot-A, and a fried chicken sandwich, were all very flavorful. I loved the hollandaise sauce and their perfectly poached eggs which they are known for. I opted for the lemon truffle potatoes as a side which was a $1 extra but so worth it. Needless to say, our experience was very memorable. Can't wait to come back again! read more

Had breakfast here a couple times during a trip to Vancouver. Great food and friendly staff. I love that you can get a Benedict in a bowl and don't have to have it with the bread. For a little extra they place it over spinach and potatoes in a bowl. Yum! read more

We stopped here on our way to Whistler. A small breakfast and lunch spot originally started as a food truck. My son and I opted for their original chicken and waffle breakfast. This is the dish that made them famous and didn't disappoint. Service is great and the food comes out quickly. Just a plain Jane interior with a small outdoor patio. A great spot for breakfast or lunch if you're into good food without a fancy ambiance. The prices are very reasonable for a downtown Vancouver restaurant where rents are extremely high. read more

Service excellent. Super clean The yolk tots are amazing. I am not a tater tot person, these are next level. Bacon was crispy, not burnt English muffin perfectly toasted The beauty is this breakfast has to be the crispy French toast with jam and lemon curd. This dish would be served in heaven. The French toast was light and fluffy with just the right thickness. Then the lemon curd adds another level to the divine tastiness. The light coating of panko crumbs ........ yum read more

We came here cause it was right down the street from our hotel. We went on a Monday morning and it wasn't busy at all. The food was overall pretty tasty. The classic benedict was better than the bacon avocado one that I got. The hollandaise was really delicious. We also tried one of the pancakes and the beignets. I am so glad we tried a few different dishes, the beignets were really excellent. read more

Can we be honest: Dijon mustard doesn't go on Eggs Benedict in any situation. The place was small, but bright and I got seated quickly. The bathrooms were clean. It was near the hotel where I was staying. I got the fruit side which had a decent variety. Service was fine and not too intrusive. read more

Yolks - Eggs Benedict with fruit - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Delicious breakfast and so reasonably priced. I had the ham brekkie with fruit and I cleaned my plate.

I came here with my friend to have breakfast. I haven't been to Yolks in a long time. I remembered the last time I was there was at least 6 or 7 years ago and it was not this location. I ordered the duck confit egg benedict. The duck was a bit dry but it had a really good flavor to it. It came with a side. I picked the salad with truffle sauce. Service was good. I think next time I come I will just get my usual the smoked salmon egg benedict. The store is quite spacious and I was surprised that when we came there were many tables available. Guess it is no longer as busy as it used to be. Overall, I do recommend coming here for breakfast. read more

Amazing! The best breakfast ever!!! Eggs were perfection, potatoes perfection. Menu is great so many options. Food is fresh and looks amazing to the eye and the flavors don't disappoint. I was visiting and said I'm sad I had the best breakfast of my life, yet I live so far away to enjoy it daily as I would like. So if you're local you are blessed!! Service was good, no wait to be seated. Such a cute little spot. read more

Best eggs in town! No wait on a mid-week morning. The servers were great, and the shirts they wear actually say "Perfectly Poached," and they soooooo are! Seriously the best pouched eggs ever! Also the best tater tots I've ever had! I am super picky about how I like my tots. I really don't like any of them back home in the US. But here, in Canada at Yolks breakfast & lunch cafe, they got it right! I also love that they ask you how you would like your eggs, whether you're ordering scrambled or pouched. We prefer ours medium, and they got that exactly right too! Perfect slightly pulped orange juice as well. It was all excellent! read more

We were here for the Taylor Swift Eras tour, and Yolks fully embraced the Swifties! They were playing Taylor Swift music, and the server had friendship bracelets on and was so friendly. It was a 20-minute wait, and they let us know that they keep seatings to 45 minutes. I feel like that is a bit rushed, but the menu looked so good that we tried it out. Once seated, we ordered Expresso martinis, grilled cheese, and the mushroom bennie. For me, the Bennie had too much sauce on it, but I was sharing, so I didn't ask for it on the side like I usually do. The mushrooms and spinach were delicious. The egg was also not perfectly poached. The grilled cheese was buttery and cheesy. The tomato soup was creamy and perfect for dipping the grilled cheese into. It took a bit for our Expresso martinis to arrive, so they took $5 off each of our bills. The expresso was heavy on the expresso. read more

Yolks - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Great brunch place but needs work on some aspects. Do try to get there early otherwise there is quite a long waiting queue to get a table around lunch time on the weekend. Quite many options on the menu. My salmon eggs benedict where quite good and it was ni e to have the option notbto get tater tots. My side salad was good especially with the truffle sauce. Service was a bit hectic. The waiter made a mistake and I got the wrong side the first time so the plate had to go back to the kitchen. Food was a bit cold when it got back. The matcha latte I ordered was quite weak. Probably better to order a juice or smoothies instead. Also there was a mistake on the bill so again needed more time to fix that. Still I will go back to to give it another try since the food was good read more

Food was tasty and fresh. Clean restaurant and great service. Daughter loved the food as well so it was a win!

New breakfasts are never cheap but they can range from good to great and I'd say this place is a fun visit for a treat with friends. Yolks has good recipes and you can escape with something decent for under $20. Service was good, and I like this new location better than Cambie (but not as much as the cheaper and original gritty one on Clark and Hastings). read more

Stopped by on our trip to Vancouver. We went before noon and it was busy so we had to wait about 20 mins but it was all worth it! I ordered the special, the Beast Benny, which included bacon, egg, avocado, spinach and tomato on an English muffin and all topped with hollandaise sauce. It came with a side of perfectly crisped tater tots and a couple slices of fruit. It was divine. The tater tots were probably some of the best tots I've ever had. I finished that off with an oat iced latte - which was quite smooth, I might add! I was even able to get a to-go cup for the rest of my coffee when we left. Will definitely be going by again on my next trip to Vancouver. read more

Best jalapeño cream chicken waffle egg Benedict I've ever had! So instead of choosing eggs Benedict or chicken waffles they combined my two favourite breakfast food into One dish. Brilliant! Take my money. I went midday during the weekday so it was not busy at all and was seated all by myself in the corner hidden away from the rest of the people. It gave me the privacy to just eat the whole thing in peace. I think the waiter was surprised I was able to finish it all cause he asked if I needed a take out box instead of looking at my plate but saw the guilty look on my face. read more

I did take-out through Uber eats. I am not sure i want to do that again after this experience. My food was a bit cold when it got delivered. They put the food in paper bags. Not even a container. No cutlery nor napkins are found in the bag. This needs to change. I ordered the egg sandwich with smoked bacon and paid extra for truffle potatoes. Both were cold and soggy. The bread was soggy, and the potatoes weren't great. I expect better for how much it is. The portion of potatoes was on the scarce side, and I am very disappointed. I was expecting better. I can not say I want to come back again based on this experience. read more

I discovered this place a couple weeks ago and it will be a regular stop from now on.

The service was great and I will be sure to try and tag this place at least once a week. read more

This is my favourite Yolks. I'll tell you why. The one on Broadway is a disaster because of food and service. The one on E. Hastings....well....it's E. Hastings. Environment Matters! The one on Davie. Stunningly bright. Smart floor plan. Modern Set up. Impressively clean and the location.....well the location can't get any better than that. Have you ever flown first class? Well....imagine this...you board the plane and the first cabin....is...well...First Class and you see big, bright and excited faces and smiles from the crew literally seating you. If you're in Economy....you keep walking through the doors and into Economy and that's when the smiles are slightly more tired. You get my drift. With Yolks Davie. The service if First Class all the way. The menu. Great selections and Make Your Own Breakfast which I loved. I got the Florentine Benny. The taste and flavour was all there. It just wasn't hot, barely warm. The Egg. Potatoes were both cold. It was the same with the Make Your Own Breakfast. It had cooled off before it was served. But every single item was fresh and tasty, so the dish wasn't poor. It had just gotten cold. Nothing that would not make me wanna go back. Just a friendly note to this wonderful staff. We're glad you're here. Welcome to the neighbourhood! read more

We were in Vancouver on vacation from California recently and popped in for breakfast since our hotel was nearby and loved it! Our server was great, the food was great, reasonably priced compared to similar plates we would've ordered in the US, and overall experience was wonderful. We would definitely come back here and highly recommend Yolks. We both got the "Make it Your Own" breakfast. I picked the butter and chives scrambled eggs, sourdough toast and English bangers. Hubby picked the poached eggs, sourdough toast and maple smoked ham. For our sides, Hubby picked fresh fruit and I picked salad with their truffle-lemon dressing. Ugh, that salad dressing was soooo good! I'm still salivating over it and wish they sold it. Ambiance was nice too. read more

Well. We've been needing a new breakfast place in the West End. There's only a handful of choices so everyone has been waiting for this to open for quite some time now. If I'm honest, it was just ok. Not bad or anything, but pretty underwhelming for the price point. The restaurant was beautiful inside, even if the corner a bit yucky outside. Our server seemed a bit checked out and forgetful, but nice enough. It could be my fault for hyping it up in my head waiting for it to open for so long but... I dunno. I'm not sure I'd go back if I'm totally honest. ‍ read more
