The Flying Yolk

My kind of funky breakfast place. Order at the counter. Serve yourself coffee. I had the special, Peruvian steak and egg burrito. Steak was braised in a rich sauce and fork tender, well-trimmed with no fat or gristle. Eggs were poached or fried rather than scrambled with yolks still just a bit runny. Awesome! Tots were crisp and the house hot sauces creative and flavorful. My friend had the Califoria Fry. It was gone in 60 seconds. No talking until it was done other than a muffled mouthful grunt that sounded a lot like "good" between bites. Highly recommended.

If you don’t like the flying yolk you must not like breakfast. Not sure where to start, maybe the brioche bun? Crispy tater tots? Quick service? All of the above and more, plus there is such a well crafted menu I could come over and over and never get bored. Can’t wait till next time, thanks for a great breakfast spot!

The Flying Yolk is a new feeling, counter order with breakfast sandwiches on croissants and brioche and breakfast burritos. Seating is a little limited when we were there on a Sunday late morning (granted that’s prime brunch time!) And in general we thought the food was good. I had a croissant (they’re fresh baked) with their vegan patty, cheddar cheese, and egg whites. They managed to make a croissant sandwich manageable. The egg whites were perfectly done (apparently that’s not easy based on what I’ve ben served at many other restaurants.) I didn’t love the cheddar but it was an overall good sandwich. (American and Swiss cheeses are also available.) My wife had the vegan patty (which is gluten free and vegetable based, not soy). She used this as base for avocado toast (instead of bread). She liked it and thought it was well presented. Our kid (“fresh” from two weeks at camp…) enjoyed the grilled cheese he got, also on a croissant.) We all shared a side of tots. It was a very generous portion. They were perfectly fried and we had nothing to complain about as, they’re tots, and they provided the exact “tot” experience one would expect and hope for from tots. They have self serve coffee - a couple varieties. I had French/Italian toast which I thought was super good (and I’m super picky about coffee). The only complaint is everything the food and beverages are served in is disposable. Throw away coffee cups and food served on paper. We always appreciate (as does the planet), especially when dining in, food served in washable and reusable plates. (And coffee is always more satisfying in a mug. We’d definitely come back though!
