Yolks

Amazing food. 10/10

I only wish I had discovered this breakfast gem sooner! A must-visit for anyone who loves a good meal!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this charming brunch spot in Vancouver BC. It's safe to say that their Pork Belly Eggs Benedict was delicious and the highlight of our Sunday breakfast.

The pork belly was tender and it was seasoned well. The hollandaise sauce was velvety, with just the right amount of tanginess to complement the savory elements of the dish.

The ambiance of the restaurant added to the overall enjoyment of the meal. The atmosphere was welcoming and the staff was friendly. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for a solid, casual neighborhood brunch spot. One tip is to get there early to avoid crowds, if you can. We arrived around 9:30 am on a Sunday and experienced no wait times.

They do poached eggs really well. There's a reason it's called Yolks. I'll say just order anything with poached eggs on the menu if you love runny yolks.

I have been to Yolks at the old location and I was not impressed much. Now I know it's because I didn't order poached eggs. I had the chicken and waffle then and it was alright. Nothing spectacular.

I much prefer this new location. Modern looking and way brighter than the previous one. Lots of tables and a big patio outside. I like how they have several smaller tables which can be combined to accommodate big groups without disrupting other diners.

I decided to have the make your own breakfast option. I chose poached eggs, portobello mushrooms, lemon truffle potato and sourdough toast. They were all nicely done. Love the runny yolk.

The disappointing part of my meal was the hot chocolate. Despite using callebaut chocolate, it still lacked the rich chocolatey taste. I could taste the chocolate but the entire drink tasted quite diluted though. Skip that if you are a chocolate snob.

I will come back again, just for the poached eggs.

Street parking is available.

First and foremost, I was greeted with friendly, helpful service the moment I came through the door. Almost everyone there, from the host to the upper management, went out of their way to seat me as soon as possible once I arrived. The wait time was minimal, and the server suggestions were solid. She recommended substituting a half-and-half mixture of truffle-lemon potatoes and greens for the usual English muffin in the grilled portobello mushroom Benny. The salad and potato combo was fantastic, and the poached eggs were cooked to perfection. They must have felt the same way since they gave me a free waffle on the way out. The quality of this establishment is outstanding.

Me and two friends came at around 1130 and ordered the beast benny, which was a special menu item (bacon, eggs, avocado, spinach, toast). Yolks is definitely not what it used to be and has gone down in quality. To begin, the eggs weren't really runny at all; we asked for soft boiled and the bread was hard to chew. The potatoes were soggy and were not crispy at all, as if they've been left in the fryer the whole time. in terms of service, we had asked for water and had our cups empty the whole time. Will not be returning.

Great breakfast! Potatoes are yum. Food is consistent and the OJ and smoothies are delicious. One of my favourite Vancouver breakfast places.

This place used to hit to the mark every time. In the past year I've ordered to go the quality of care has declined. This is the second time in the past 6 months I've ordered this to go and had a problem that doesn't quite ruin the meal but isn't a joy to eat either. This time the hollandaise had solidified and tasted funny and a little too salty. See below where I give it the Dairy Queen blizzard test. Reheating could cause to it curdle and didn't have the products to try fixing/recreating on hand. Safe to say that I will no longer be supporting Yolks. Not in this economy, please do better. Fresh orange juice is still nice though.

Every time I go I'm always disappointed. Tiny food portions, just ok service, this place simply takes itself too seriously.

Yumm, Yumm, Yumm.

I ordered the Double Smoked Bacon Benny and wanted the english muffin to be extra crispy and easy on Hollandaise, and that is exactly what I got! I mean.. you're probably thinking ....well if you asked for it...then obviously you'd be getting it....well...you'd be surprised how that is not the case frequently these days. Our server was great and once the food arrived I asked for some hot sauce and (Lee) asked whether I wanted something hot or more on the spicy sweet....and I asked bring what you have as I like variety. So, he brought me three different types of hot sauce and they all tasted so wonderfully different (see pics). One was sweet but with a kick, the other was "run for your life" hot and the last one was something in-between. Loved all three as I was by the end even dipping my fork in it on its own.

The Benny was made to perfection.
The english muffin crispy on the bottom and the bacon awesomely crispy and the eggs perfectly soft-medium and the sauce just the right amount. The potatoes were cut fresh and beautifully proportioned and not greasy at all topped with sprinkles of spring onion and yes even they were fresh.
(Actually thinking about it now makes my mouth water - seriously)

The French toast.
I don't even know what to say. Just go try it.
(Great. Now I want one! :|)

I heard so many good things about Yolks and finally gave it a try. Loved the ambiance but unfortunately the food was underwhelming. The poached eggs had uncooked egg whites that was unappetizing. The waffle in the chicken waffle was too mushy. The fried avocado tasted okay but not much flavor. There are so many good brunch places in Vancouver. The food at Yolk's is average quality in comparison.
