Broken Yolk Cafe

Loved this place so much I went 2 weekends in a row. I got the same waiter I had on my previous visit. I am all about customer service and my waiter exceeded my expectations on both visits. The food was so delicious especially the stuffed french toast! And the fact that this restaurant has a variety of mimosas makes it even better! It's the perfect place for brunch with friends and family. Can't wait for my next visit!

Have been here several times and each visit is the same, disappointing. The food is subpar and could use some attention in the quality and taste department. I’ve had several different menu items and the best thing they have is the acai bowl but that’s probably because they don’t make it in house. The wait staff couldn’t be bothered to go above their minimum job requirements and sometimes they even struggle to reach the minimum. Wait times are long for seating, service, drinks and food. Probably their only redeeming quality is the space they have available for any size group including an outdoor patio and an indoor party room. I’ve had various party sizes from two to 30. Don’t count on them being ecstatic about seating a large group tho as it seems they don’t want the extra “headache” of a large group. I have noticed however, that if you’re a regular or an “in” individual they do give you special treatment. You’ll be seated, waited and served all with haste and priority. In short, there’s nothing extraordinary about the Broken Yolk. Just another restaurant. There’s definitely better places in town that offer a higher quality experience that deserve your patronage.

Update from 1/2/22 So my wife have have been back twice since our last disastrous visits and we have good news....they have got their game back! Our hostess was Jenna and she was very pleasant and with the place really hopping we ordered and got our meals in a very reasonable amount of time. My California Benedict was excellent with the poached eggs cooked perfectly and the hollandaise sauce was spot on. I liked their new thin sliced "home style" potatoes but would have been better with sauteed onions and some more seasoning. While a little bland they were still good and my wife's hash browns were the right ratio of crispy and soft. Her over easy eggs were good. Overall much better with our past two visits. I deleted my old photos and included a new one so you can see the properly cooked poached eggs. Keep up the good work! My previous review.... I sadly have to revise my review from two years ago. This past year my wife and I have watched a continuous degradation in service and food preparation. Our last three visits, including the one this morning, was rife with lengthy service delays and entre delivery time of over 30 minutes while not all that busy (say 60%). The hallmark of the last three visits were improperly cooked eggs, missing ingredients and order requests that were not complied with. Today was the last straw. My wife ordered eggs over easy and they could not have been more hard cooked had they tried. How it was plated that way and not checked is beyond me. Most people from 50 feet away could have seen the eggs were cooked to smithereens. My Golden State Benedict was missing avocado, had poached eggs that were as hard as my wife's over easy eggs, the hollandaise sauce was "broken" and lumpy and my toast was burnt to crouton level. There was so much wrong with our order we advised a server that we were not going to hang around to have everything remade and advised we were leaving. We have really enjoyed eating at the Broken Yolk but can't see going back until we know there is better control over the back of the house and better guidance for the front of the house. Let me know when changes have been made and we will be back. Update 6/15 so we were in the area and hoped, one more time, that we would get what we ordered and nope, same poor preparation. My Golden State Benedict came without sirarcha (orderd on the side) and way too much hollandaise sauce with almost completely hard cooked poached eggs. My wife again got 90% hard cooked over-easy eggs, burnt toast and sausage that looked cooked on the outside but was greasy and undercooked on the inside. I attached those pictures.

Only reason I gave it 2 stars was because the staff was nice and accommodating, but the food was flat out subpar. The eggs are real eggs taste like garbage, the New York Steak was a poor excuse of a steak no taste at all and nothing but fat 95% of it was not edible. The hash browns were burnt and tasteless. I would strongly recommend Mandy’s Cafe over this if you want a tasteful American breakfast. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Broken Yolk is usually fine, my kids enjoyed their meal, but mine was pretty bad. I got the chorizo scramble but I'm not sure how much chorizo was actually in it. The rice was cold. The beans were cold and crusty. Literally the worst food I've had at a restaurant in a really long time. Our server, however, was very nice and took care of us well. I don't send food back so I ate cold eggs and left the majority of the rest on the plate. This wasn't the worst food I've ever had but it's down in that area.
