Definitely enjoyed sitting outside in the nice California weather and the food was outstanding. Actually had breakfast there twice in the same week that we were visiting. The omelets are so good, and outstanding eggs benedict, and avocado toast with two broken yolk eggs on top so delicious! Oh did I mention the blueberry infused pancakes with fresh blueberries on top - Amazing!!! The inside of the restaurant was a bit noisy but it's busy because everyone goes there since the food is so good!! We went to other breakfast places while we were visiting, but this place hands down was the best!

First time dining in at this location and everything was phenomenal, we were greeted as soon as we open the door, and got sat down right away. Everyone was extremely kind and serviceable. Jennifer and Alonso made our experience beyond expectations! We never had to ask for refills, or anything. They both were hands down with our table. The restaurant itself it’s beautiful and ambience is nice, and familiar. Highly recommend to come and yap with friends and family, and have a good time with some coffee and mimosas!

Broken Yolk is such an excellent place for a delicious and inventive brunch. They have all the classics, and some options with a twist - like the fantastic eggs benedict sopes (pictured). Not only was the food wonderful, but our server, Carlos, made us feel right at home - such a warm, friendly dude. Thanks Carlos and Broken Yolk! You're our new favorite.

Great service. Huge portions. It's the most avocado I've ever seen in my life. They're feta cheese, avocado toast is absolutely to die for. The service is great. The people are friendly. Everything is clean. Excellent place for breakfast. My top five in Costa Mesa.
