Cheery chain serving all-day breakfast, including Mexican dishes, plus sandwiches & burgers. The original Broken Yolk Cafe opened in 1979, just a mile from the sand and surf of San Diego’s Pacific Beach neighborhood. From the beginning, it was the cafe’s scratch-made ingredients, infectious hospitality, generous portions, and community commitment that quickly made it a local favorite. Nearly half a century later, those same traits have helped the brand grow to 15 restaurant locations throughout San Diego County, with 42 total locations in operation.

“After all these years, it’s the breakfast classics that locals fell in love with decades back that keep them coming in,” said John Gelastopoulos, Owner of Broken Yolk Cafe. “Of course, it’s our newer, signature dishes and fresh, inventive takes on brunch staples that have kept the brand top-of-mind for newer generations. With any luck, Broken Yolk Cafe will still be introducing families and friends to an elevated breakfast and brunch experience for another 47 years, and more.”

The dining room boasts plenty of natural light, natural wood features, comfortable booths, and countertop seating.
