About

Broken Yolk Cafe serves breakfast and lunch at 2642 Del Mar Heights Rd, Del Mar, CA 92014, drawing a steady crowd of locals, beach-bound families, and visitors heading to nearby Torrey Pines State Reserve. Kotija Jr. Taco Shop is right next door on the same shopping strip along Del Mar Heights Road, making it easy to grab breakfast at one and come back for a quick taco run later in the week. The multi-page menu at Broken Yolk covers more than 20 omelets, a full lineup of pancakes, waffles, and French toast, and South-of-the-border specialties like the chilaquiles bowl and machaca burrito. The signature Border Benedict stands out: two poached eggs set on sweet corn cakes, topped with seasoned carne asada and a homemade poblano chile sauce. Sweet-tooth options include the Churro French Toast and the Tiki-Toast, both built for sharing. Lunch brings burgers, crisp salads, hearty sandwiches, and wraps, including a new Chicken Caesar Wrap. Mimosas are a house specialty at $5 per glass or $7 for a flight, and freshly squeezed orange juice is available all day. The dining room is spacious enough that even Saturday mornings at 9 AM rarely require a wait, and the dog-friendly patio adds extra capacity. Health-conscious diners can also walk to Flower Child at Flower Hill Promenade on Via De La Valle for made-from-scratch bowls, wraps, and salads that cater to vegan, keto, and paleo lifestyles. Broken Yolk accepts reservations, offers catering with family-style packs that serve four to six, and delivers through multiple apps. Hours are 7 AM to 2 PM Monday through Friday and 7 AM to 2:30 PM on weekends.
