I’m sorry but the food just really isn’t good.
Very bland.
It came out within a minute or so of ordering so you know it’s just all ready in the back.
The service was good though and the mini golf looks cute for kids.

Poor quality food for the price and atmosphere. I wanted a slightly elevated breakfast, a step above a diner.
I had my expectations in check.
It was decorated with attention to detail by the food was sub-par and it didn't feel clean. My french toast tasted like dirty grease.
I only ate 1/3.
The pancakes don't have a nice flavor.
The lemonade was definitely minute maid but served in a champagne flute for $6. Our booth had food smears on the wall and the partitions between booths were dusty.
Someone was crashing silverware into a tub exactly behind our tablle. I feel like I got the greasy spoon experience but I paid bougie prices. The waiter was very nice to us but it was generally a poor experience.
This seems in line with my other Broken Yolk visit to the Del Mar Heights location a few months ago. I wouldn't recommend them.

My large extended family and I recently had a reunion.
At the end of the trip, twenty of us really wanted to go out for a final breakfast together, but it was St.
Patrick's Day, we all had flights to catch, time was tight and we hadn't made breakfast reservations.
We called Broken Yolk, not really thinking we had any chance to get in, and we were informed that they could accommodate us on their patio.
Fifteen minutes later, all twenty adults and children were seated on their patio, and we were surrounded by helpful, friendly wait staff who took our orders, and then delivered beautiful, delicious food in record time.
They came back to refill drinks, to see if we had everything we needed, and we were able to have our last meal together and make it to the airport on time.
I was impressed.
Kudos and our thanks to the cooks and wait staff at the Carmel Mountain Broken Yolk.
