Broken Yolk Cafe - San Diego, California

I came because I was looking for something fresh and healthy for lunch. I'm surprise it has 4.3 stars.

My daughter ordered a classic avo toast and I ordered the "mom" omelette; both were disappointing.

The food took quite a bit to come out (not busy, it was 2:30pm and the restaurant was empty). By the time it did come out, her avocado on the toast turned brown. It looked very sad on that plate. My omelette was not good. It just had a strange taste...almost like the veggies were cooked in a lot of oil. Even the homemade biscuit was not that good; dry and lacked any flavor.

Service was acceptable. Coffee was meh.

Not for us.

Ordered three country fried steaks at Broken Yolk, smothered in gravy, with two eggs (one scrambled) and hashbrowns on the side. And of course, we had sourdough to help soak it all up. The steak was crispy, the gravy was rich enough to swim in, and the eggs and hashbrowns were the perfect supporting cast. The sourdough? Just the right tool for gravy cleanup duty. It’s a breakfast that’ll fill you up and keep you going until you realize you’re too full to move!

My parents live in the area and we eat here together quite often. It’s a decent diner that’s just a level up from Denny’s or IHOP. Honestly, I’d much rather eat here any day! Theres often a wait so expect that when you arrive. The environment is a very non-descript chain restaurant with vinyl booths. It’s nothing fancy, but it’s great for what it is. We always eat on the patio because we bring our dog along. We have ordered the American Breakfast, Steak and Eggs, Croissant Breakfast Sandwich, Hash Skillet, Pancakes, and Eggs Benedict with a Mimosa Flight (in the picture). Our dishes were good! Nothing overwhelming, but we all left satisfied with our food. If you are looking for brunch and crave a diner, this is a great option!

Stopped in Weds morning 7ish. A little slow to get seated but after that service was great. Plenty of coffee refills and the coffee was good. Order the Eggs Benedict and they were delicious. The home fries were a bit flat tasting but were cooked well. The menu is vast and has great healthy options.

There was no wait so we were seated right away. We got the Ranchero skillet, rancher omelet and tiki toast and all were great. Service was quick and nice.

We visited on a Friday morning and were seated right away. The service was prompt and cordial. My family enjoyed the food. Me, I thought that the pancakes were too thick and the crepes dough needed more flavor. My family loved the pancakes and crepes. My nephew said that his salad had too much grilled chicken. We are never happy. We had a wonderful time together.

Love Broken Yolk! Delicious breakfast, we had the hash skillet and ranchero skillet which were both excellent. Dog friendly patio which is great. Very fast and friendly service. No wait as well even on a Saturday at 10:30. Highly recommend!
