Stopped in Weds morning 7ish. A little slow to get seated but after that service was great. Plenty of coffee refills and the coffee was good. Order the Eggs Benedict and they were delicious. The home fries were a bit flat tasting but were cooked well. The menu is vast and has great healthy options.

Found this place while walking around the neighbourhood and I would say it has easily been my best dining experience so far in Malacca. The owners are very passionate about their hometown and this is reflected in the food, as well as the decor and even in the menu.

I came here for the first time for breakfast and ordered the Machaca and the mocha. The servers were very friendly and the mocha was a bit messy but otherwise very delicious.

The Machaca on the other hand, was not great at all. The rice and beans were very bland and the beef barely had any flavor. It left a questionable aftertaste. If I had known how it was going to taste I wouldn't have paid a dime for it.

That being said, they have an extensive menu with many options so I'm sure some of the other options taste much better. I'll have to revise my rating once I get a chance to try them.

First visit to this location. Appreciate the wait list feature through Yelp. Caprese Benedict was yummy. Our group thought pancakes were also good. Avocado toast presentation could have been improved. Either a smaller plate or add a fruit garnish to the plate. The waiter was responsive when we needed an order correction.

The golden state Benedict was wonderful. I had them put the sriracha on the side because I didn’t want it to hide the other delicious flavors. The fruit was also great. The omelet was huge! And Godofred was a very good waiter.

It was a great time just because of who I was with. Good time, they brought water out for my friends dog! The patio is nice, especially being the only ones out there! I'm not a big fan of the chicken Ceasars salad. Chicken was dry, dry dry. But I'm willing to try again, different plate!

There is a reason I took a 8 year break from The Broken Yolk, and nothing has changed. To be honest not sure why I bothered giving this place another shot when there are so many other breakfast spots. iHop, Denny's and Black Bear Diner at least have flavor and service.

Dishes were Biscuits n Gravy, Chilaquiles and Banana w/ Nutella Crepes.
**Biscuits were dry, & flavorless. Gravy was bland, watered down discount store brand (yes I have made homemade biscuits and gravy. Very simple recipe). The only thing that had flavor was the sausage, but it could not save the rest of the dish.
**Chilaquiles - tastes like the sort of thing you have leftovers in the fridge and cooked late at night for a quick snack. Chicken was good. Flavor combination, bland. Could of used some salt or spices when cooking.
**Crepes Banana w/ Nutella - I've heard of watered down Nutella. Never thought I'd experience it before. Nutella should taste like Nutella, not a hint of Nutella. Crepes were a bit thicker/fluffier. Absorbed the flavors but the crepe itself is like a non-sweet version of a thin pancake. Combined with the watered down Nutella...
**Atmosphere - not sure where all the flies came from. We were seated next to a window, and once our dishes came out to the table we were batting flies constantly. Couple dead near the base of the Window.

...nothing has changed. Tried Mission Valley, Plaza Bonita, Downtown, etc. They all, ALL have missed the mark of making my time there worthwhile. There are many other breakfast spots and restaurants in Mira Mesa that have better food.
