35 minute wait to get a table, but that seems to be normal when visiting a brunch spot on a Saturday. The restaurant was very busy.
We waited 6 minutes to put in our drink orders, and they came out in 7 minutes. My companions ordered bloody Mary’s, coffee, and a messy cuppachino. All were given great reviews.
We waited 7 minutes to put in our food order, and the food was received 18 minutes after.
The food was a 5/10. The gravy was taseless, and the eggs too thick in the croissant sandwich. The croissant was not flaky ir airy.
The eggs Benedict was okay, very lukewarm.
The turkey sausage was delicious. The avocado salmon toast was oily, and the salmon was lukewarm and a bit fishy. The french fries were golden and crispy. The biscuits on the biscuits and gravy were well baked and very good.
The atmosphere of the restaurant was great. Very hustle and bustle. The booths were comfortable. There are plenty of benches inside and outside the restaurant for waiting patrons.
The bathrooms were very clean.
The parking lot is large and we had no trouble finding a spot.

Had a fantastic lunch experience at Broken Yolk in Santee. The food was delicious, and the little details make a difference—their freshly brewed iced tea was perfect. The highlight was our server, Anthony. He did an excellent job of making sure our meal was absolutely perfect from start to finish. We always enjoy coming here for breakfast or lunch, and today was no exception!

Wow! The food is absolutely delicious! My California skillet has incredible flavor! I’m here now and what an exceptional breakfast experience. Server was so nice and caring, service was attentive and quick, the interior is so beautiful. I loved breakfast this morning and so glad I stopped in. Can’t wait to return! Location is so easy in the Town Center shopping center (Target).

Broken Yolk is the quintessential brunch destination, and they absolutely crushed it. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was buzzing with happy energy and the staff made us feel incredibly welcome, especially our server who was attentive and genuinely friendly.
The food here is simply outstanding. I ordered the Border Benedict, and it was a revelation. The perfectly poached eggs, seasoned carne asada, and homemade poblano sauce over sweet corn cakes was a combination of flavors I won’t forget. My dining companion had the Cinnamon Roll Pancakes, which were fluffy, decadent, and tasted exactly like a cinnamon roll in pancake form. The portions are more than generous, ensuring you get great value for your money.
While they were busy, as any popular brunch spot should be, our food arrived quickly, hot, and fresh. The coffee was excellent and kept flowing, which is crucial for a leisurely brunch.
Whether you’re a local or just visiting, Broken Yolk is a must visit. The food is consistently delicious, the service is top notch, and the whole experience leaves you happy and satisfied. We’ll be back for sure!

Parking is easy, energy and atmosphere is bright and welcoming, service was quick. Maria was a fantastic waitress and anticipated our every need. The food is the same as the other Broken Yolk locations – a bit pricy for the quality, but the portions are large.

Maria was amazing! Our food came out in minutes and each item we asked for was made exactly how we liked it. My husband is a sauce person and she made sure we had all the sauces and things we needed without us confirming or re-requesting. This is definitely our new breakfast spot when we visit San Diego

Had brunch for my cousin’s birthday on Monday. The bottles of champagne kept coming, service was great, food was delicious… what a fun place to brunch with some friends! Nikki, the bartender, is pretty awesome too!

My review for Maria at Broken Yolk Cafe is nothing short of five stars! She consistently delivers an exceptional dining experience. Every time I’ve been there, Maria has been incredibly friendly, making us feel genuinely welcome from the moment we walk in.
What truly sets her apart is her amazing ability to remember our orders—it’s such a personal touch that makes you feel valued as a customer. She’s also remarkably fast and efficient, getting food and drinks out quickly without ever compromising on accuracy. And through it all, she remains incredibly attentive, always seeming to know when we need a refill or an extra napkin. Maria embodies everything you could ask for in a server and consistently makes dining at Broken Yolk Cafe a fantastic experience.
Update: my friend ordered some onion springs this morning. Look at this perfectly cooked stack of GBD, golden brown and delicious, onion rings. I’m not a huge onion ring fan, but the side of these made me want to dig in. I should have ordered my own set.

This is hands down our favorite breakfast restaurant! The food is always excellent, but the service is what truly keeps us coming back. Anthony is an outstanding server who works incredibly hard and always takes such great care of us. We’ve even had him serve us at a different restaurant for dinner, and his consistency and professionalism stand out no matter where he’s working.
The owner also deserves recognition for periodically walking around, checking in with guests, and stopping to chat — a personal touch you don’t see very often anymore, and one that really makes a difference.
If there’s a wait, it’s easy to hop on the online waitlist, no phone call needed. And honestly, on a Saturday morning in Santee, if a breakfast spot isn’t busy, that would be more concerning than a short wait!
Amazing food, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!

Had a great experience!
The food was fresh and tasted really good, and the restaurant was clean with a nice, welcoming atmosphere. Our server, Dawn, was fantastic. She was friendly, attentive, and made some great suggestions that we ended up enjoying. She struck the perfect balance of being available when we needed her while also making the experience feel genuine and personal. The food came out quickly, and everything from start to finish was smooth and enjoyable. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you’re in the area.
Also, the OJ here is pretty fire.
