Very nice servers and waitstaff. The portions are good sized as well as taste. The area is bright, roomy and cheery. Good Irvine location. Parking can be a bit tricky during busy times. Interesting food bar area if you like that. The rancho skillet was good, but a bit too seasoned for me. The mom’s omelet was good with the fresh blueberry muffins.

Warm welcome, quick seating, AMAZINGLY attentive and engaged server – Thank you Alicia! Good came out quick and hot.
Monte Cristo is bomb and so is the messy iced Carmel latte.

Get in early if you want to seat without a weight as this place is extremely popular. The popularity may in part be due to the favor that there aren’t many alternate places to eat breakfast in Irvine. My biggest complaint is that the photo image of the food on the menu really does not match what you get on your plate. They needed to put a lot more salmon on this toast. Service was very friendly although a bit slow because it was very crowded.

Food was delicious and came out super fast. Alicia, our server, was absolutely amazing (One of the best servers I’ve had at a restaurant before honestly)! She always made sure our table was good and was very friendly. I felt very taken care of and the service was excellent. Hope to have Alicia again and I’ll definitely be coming back. 10/10

It was my first time going to the restaurant. I was there to hang out with my best friend. The service from our waitress Alicia was so hospitable and amazing. She was so kind and if we needed anything she truly took care of us! Alicia is a keeper. I will be back for the Spicy Vegan bowl! Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Alicia was our waitress and she was amazing! She kept our coffee and water full. She has a great personality and was very kind and attentive. The food was good. I had the feta avocado toast with poached eggs, I would recommend trying it. It was loud in the restaurant, as we went at breakfast time on a Saturday. Overall, great experience.

We really enjoyed eating here for breakfast comfort food, from pancakes to French toast to biscuits, all with a twist to step it up a notch. Our lattes were quite tasty. The servers were super nice. The prices were a bit more than traditional breakfast at, say, a diner, but we thought that it was worth it and would eat here again.

Chicken fried steak was amazing, chilaquiles were delicious but be careful with sauces because they are hot.. mimosa flight hit good but Bloody Mary flight was not great because they use wine instead of vodka.. service was excellent .. the most perfectly cooked hash browns ever

Had an amazing brunch experience at Broken Yolk! The service and hospitality were top-notch, with friendly staff making sure we had everything we needed. The vibe inside the restaurant was warm and welcoming, and the place itself is huge—perfect for a relaxed meal.
We tried the Vegan Spicy Bowl and the Fiesta Burrito, and both were absolutely delicious! The flavors were bold, and the presentation was great. Loved the perfect balance of spice and freshness in every bite.
Definitely a must-visit spot for brunch lovers. We’ll be back for more!

Shout out to Susy! We had such a great experience at Broken Yolk Cafe! I ordered the Mom Omelette and it was absolutely delicious — cooked perfectly and packed with flavor.
Susy truly made our visit special. She was warm, attentive, and so friendly. She checked in at all the right times and made us feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of. You can tell she takes pride in giving great service.
A special shoutout as well to the female manager who stopped by our table to check on us. Excellent food, exceptional service, and great management — we’ll definitely be coming back!
