Our cafes are designed to be comfortable and inviting, providing a relaxed atmosphere where conversations flow, and memories are made. We're proud to be a part of your mornings, whether it's a casual weekday breakfast or a leisurely weekend brunch. 

History

The Original Broken Yolk Café started in 1979 in Pacific Beach, a local beach community in San Diego, California and has since become a Southern California favorite for breakfast, brunch and lunch.

If you ask foodies why they love the Broken Yolk, they will most likely say, “Their signature benedicts and variety of menu options, mimosas (12 oz size!), homemade sauces, soups and baked goods and the most important SERVICE!  Broken Yolk is a full service restaurant that makes sure every guest has an egg-cellent experience!

A 2009 feature on The Travel Channel’s Man vs Food introduced the brand to millions of viewers outside of Southern California. Now the hometown favorite has grown to 40 locations nationwide and 10 more in development.
