Beautiful place, the service was fast. And the staff is very kind! Our server Christina was very friendly and helpful! The food is super yummy, great hot chocolate! Their fries are perfectly crispy, they get 5 stars alone! - review by my 9 year old!

Nice place to have a breakfast or brunch with your favorite company. There was waiting list, but was understood because it was Valentine's Day.

Breakfast was delicious. Lemon ricotta pancake, egg croissant sandwich with all the fixings. Very generous portions, food cooked to perfection. Our server Norma couldn’t have been any nicer.

If I lived nearby I would eat here everyday. Amazing service and the best breakfast I've had in a while. Eggs were amazing, bacon crisp and flavorful. Staff was friendly, courteous and accommodating. Food portions large enough to feed an army. Would be my pleasure to revisit this location.

I really like this restaurant I have been happy with the service at the two locations I visited. This one went above and beyond and let us have our Pub in a quiet spot. Great food good service I highly recommend

We went there after visiting Dennis and being told that the wait was 30-40 minutes. We are glad we looked for this place. Even though they were also busy, they took us in less than 10 minutes. Our server was Trevor and he was awesome! The food was excellent too! My wife ordered the steak and eggs and lo and behold! It was cooked perfectly (Medium rare)! Which is very hard to find in breakfast places since they tend to overcook it, but here it was just perfect. We asked to speak to the Manager, Kendra, and she probably thought that we had a complaint, but was very friendly and polite too. She was relieved that we were complimenting the place. We travel from Arizona to California a lot so, this is definitely a place we will come back!

Had a great breakfast with a big crew. Servers handled it well. Started with a blueberry smoothie which nailed it! The cinnamon cake pancake is a must! ( get the large and share it with your table). My bowl was called a mom om mom and was delicious ( eggs, meat chips sour cream ect)

I ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs. It was freshly made and tasted great. I ordered fruit on the side instead of hash browns. The fruit was fresh. The service was fast and friendly. Update: 30 OCT 22 Still great with no issues. I do have to remind servers at restaurants in this town to not overcook the eggs. Scrambled eggs should be yellow and cooked without the browning of excessive heat or cook time. One way to avoid this is by ordering egg whites or sending overcooked eggs back until cooked correctly. They almost always get it right the first time when you request a light scramble.

Oh man where do I start? From the moment I walked in, I was greeted, sat promptly and given a menu. The restaurant interior is clean, spacious and very organized. I always drive by this place after work and decided to try it out. I’m glad I did. Awesome service, and hearty, delicious food! Portions are generous. Come hungry. I definitely will be back!

Broken Yolk Cafe in El Centro California. Arrived around 10:00 A.M on a Sunday and our Party of 7 1/2 were seated within 5 minutes. We had a Great Breakfast and our waitress was great. Oh yeah, they have a Bloody Mary on the drink menu that I say is worth trying.

The Broken Yolk is a solid American establishment in Imperial Valley. They have an extensive variety of breakfast and lunch options, ranging from omelettes, benedicts, pancakes, toasts, sandwiches and burgers. I personally am a huge fan of their Tiki toast, Wild West burger and Hawaiian fried chicken burger!

Another great breakfast, slightly diminished. The pancakes came out over-cooked, but the wait staff was great and remedied the situation quickly. It was 10:00 AM on a Thursday morning, hardly rush hour. Otherwise, it's always a good breakfast here.

Excellent cafe!!!!! Hostess very nice, smiled, quick to seat us. Waitress wonderful. Amiable. Great personality. Never been here before and she made me feel at home. Bus boy fantastic!!!! Quick. Clean. Spot on. Amiable. Everyone professional Giving it a 4-star only because my egg was “over hard” and I requested “medium”. That said, I scarfed it down as it was superbly fried!!! Delish Highly recommend this particular Broken Yolk” (Even though I forgot to take pictures). LOL One egg, sour dough toast was $4.00 Friend’s included 2 eggs and hash browns for $7.35 Coffee? $2.95 Enjoy!!

First time visiting. The hostess was very friendly at entering and at paying. Waitress seemed to not want to be working today. My Arnold palmer tasted as if the lemonade had gone bad. Told the waitress, she brought me another. Did not have enough utensils for each person. The food was good. Flavors are as any other breakfast place. Not sure if I'll be returning. Update: owner commented. Seems they don't read the reviews just glance at the stars SMH

I had not been to this spot in a few years, and it’s so much better than I remember it. It’s a nice little place to get some brunch with family or friends. The menu has a variety of options somewhat like every other dinner. Except this is one of the few breakfast places in the Valley where you can get alcoholic beverages, which is nice. I had the mimosa flight and it came with different flavors, (orange and pomegranate was my favorite). For breakfast, I took a chance and went with the huevos rancheros, they were alright, lacked a bit of flavor and not the best I’ve had but I honestly didn’t expect anything authentic or phenomenal. However, I did try some of the chilaquiles that my sister ordered and they were way better. The cinnamon pancakes were delicious and sweet if that’s something you’re craving. I have also tried the Eggs Benedict and that has been my favorite by far.

This place is good place to eat it has a lot of traffic and the food is good there is always room for improvement things I like was decoration, atmosphere. They make good omelets. Waiting period is sometimes high but is expected on Sunday morning waiting times vary from 10 min to 45 minutes. Everything looks clean. The customer service can improve a bit. A idea that might change my review to 5 stars is leaving the coffee on the table. Prices are fair food was made quickly and prompt. Will recommend I wouldn't say it the best place in El centro but definitely top 3 in the valley. I Hop is also a good contender.

My best friend and I went to have brunch at this location and the food was okay. The grilled cheese sandwich looked very depressing and a hair was in it. The waitress was kind enough to bring me another sandwich in which I requested the tuna instead. The sandwich was very bland, my friend said her tuna sandwich reminded her of hospital food. The house salad was great, the tomato soup was okay. Probably won't go back.

Disappointed in the inattentive staff yesterday. Sat at the counter, and sat, and sat. Six servers bustling around 3-8 feet in front of me, chatting, filling creamers, refilling silverware. Everything but paying attention to a customer sitting at the counter. Looked at my watch. Thought about leaving, but was curious as to how long it would take for someone to ask if I might actually need something...coffee, menu, whatever. Gave it five minutes and then asked the girl (standing in front of me, no less,) "is anyone WORKING this counter!?" My irritation was evident. To her credit, she apologized profusely and quickly got me a coffee and a menu. Soon after, the other kid (who was supposed to be manning the counter) took my order. He apologized. I didn't take it seriously, since he was one of the group running his mouth while I sat there for several minutes. My eggs benedict were very good, and I will miss them in the future since I won't be back. Management failure here. If your servers are this inattentive, there are other issues with your establishment that customers won't see.

The portions have definitely been reduced. The food was also not up to the regular quality. This place has changed. The service was great though.
