If you go super early, there's no one there yet. It's awesome it felt like I rented out the entire restaurant. The food is great, if you're a fan of eggs Benedict then you'll love the selection. Though if you're getting the fried chicken one that one does that longer to make. Each one is served with a salad so a nice balanced diet.Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options, just read carefullyDietary restrictions: Did not notice vegan options specifically but you can always go with potatoes and saladsParking: Depends on what time you go, just a little walk there if you're going in the structure. Street parking if you're having a lucky day

Came here only once…. The Food was delicious…. The Water tasted awful…. Staff took forever to get me fresh water but it tasted just the same. They were really busy and I didn’t want to complain a second time . I will try again but order juice or something else to drink.

First time here dining alone and I had the French toast and an horchata latte. I asked for light on the sweetener on the latte and it was still too sweet for my taste. Not their fault probably I just don't like sweet drinks but horchata latte sounded good so I wanted to try it. The French toast are fried and I didn't know that. They weren't that good and I ended up getting a stomachache after eating them. I don't know they kind of smelled funny like if they fried it in old oil or something. The place is cute. The decor is nice and the ambiance is chill and casual. I've only tried the French toast so I can't say much but from what I've tried I wasn't too impressed but I'd be willing to try something else.Parking: There's street parking but it's very hard to come by unless you drive around the block and somebody happens to leave. However, at the corner of 1st and Main across from The chicken Koop there's a parking structure and it's free and plenty of parking so that's where I parked and it's super close to Popping Yolk, all you gotta do is cross the street and you're there.Kid-friendliness: It's a family establishment so definitely kid friendly.

A small bit warm brunch restaurant. I love their kimchi spam omelette so so much. The sauce is a little bit spicy and sweet, plus the kimchi flavor is perfect match. Also their fries sides are so crispy and delicious. The dishes are all big and under $20. Though it needs to wait about 30minutes. But it's worth the it. The space here is a little bit crowded. But service is great and friendly. Recommended!This brunch restaurant on the main street of Alhambra has quite a line of people early in the morning. The store is not big, so you have to wait for more than half an hour. The location is a bit crowded and they mainly use high chairs. I still like the pasadena with more locations. A little, but I really recommend their kimchi omure. The Korean sauce goes perfectly with omure eggs and kimchi, and it’s super delicious when paired with the fries on the side! ! The regular coffee with refills is a great value. There are also outdoor seats at the back of the store, but it’s more comfortable inside! The environment is clean, the service is delicious, and the portions are huge. Highly recommended.

Great service,I ordered the Cowboy hamburger (delicious), a bit expensive but it's worth the price and it's also good to treat ourselves once in a while.

I want this to be my go to spot for a eggs benedict, but the mixed greens they are using for their salad is off putting. I get it, it's more economical for them to pair the Benedict with the mixed greens. Although, I hope they will consider pairing it with baby arugula, olive oil, and fine parmesan.

Been searching around for a brunch place in the area that is more American as there are plenty of Asian options, but i also don't want to settle for ihop or denny's (no offense, i love them but there's just a time and place for them you know).the place is super cute, and i love that there is some unique options that have asian and American fusion breakfast, the food portions are huge for its price, and they are all super duper delicious.There is parking lot generally around the area or street parking. It is usually not too busy, and the staffs are super friendly.You pay first but then the waiters come out with your food and will continue to come for the refill coffeeI would come back again!

Really good breakfast place with unique options and exceptional quality. Order at the counter right when you enter (I recommend looking over the menu before arriving, there are a lot of interesting choices), then take a number to your table. The ube-stuffed, deep fried french toast is out of this world! The crab cake benedict is filling and delicious, with sizable crab cakes and the unique addition of coleslaw, which adds a contrasting point to the unctuous eggs, hollandaise, and crab. Give them a try!

I've been a fervent lover of egg dishes, so Popping Yolk Cafe has been on my radar for quite some time. Finally, this weekend presented the perfect opportunity to indulge in the culinary delights I had been eagerly anticipating! This charming cafe not only boasts a cozy interior but also offers an inviting outdoor space that complements the fantastic Southern California weather perfectly.The Norwegian Benedict, with its smoked salmon and perfectly poached eggs, was a symphony of flavors that delighted my taste buds. The Avocado Benedict, a refreshing twist on the traditional blending creamy avocado with the richness of the hollandaise sauce. To accompany my meal, I decided to go for something unique and ordered the special Egg Coffee.

The service in this Cafe was horrible, the employees made me wait for over two hours even though they said the waiting time was one hour. After a long waiting time, I barely had enough time to eat before the Cafe closed. The food was completely overpriced, as well. I ordered smoked salmon with croissant and potatoes in the side. The salmon was small and the sides mostly filled up the plate.1/5 stars! Not worth your time or money.
