Breakfast, and especially brunch, is a popular activity it seems, especially on the weekends

 The Broken Yolk Café adjacent to the Starbucks in South Carlsbad is a popular gathering place for foodies on the weekend. There is both indoor and outdoor dining, and an extensive breakfast and lunch menu with just about everything you could want (carbs, protein, vegetarian).

Starbucks remains a popular gathering spot, but let's face it, their breakfast and brunch offerings are pretty limited, so if a good sized meal is on your plate for the day, The Broken Yolk way be just the ticket.

Don't be surprised if you have to wait. The place is popular, and despite being a decent size you may find yourself waiting for 10-15 minutes, especially on Saturday and Sunday mornings. The food is decent - not great, IMO (you can read some reviews on Yelp) - but it will fill you up at a price I think many will feel is a respectable value. Our service the day we were there was friendly, prompt and efficient - hopefully that is true in general but I have no information on that. 

If you know the Albertson's Shopping Center at the corned of El Camino Real and La Costa Avenue in Carlsbad, you know The Broken Yolk Cafe is not a quaint, charming eatery on a quiet tree-lined street. But then that's not why you're there, right? Check out the street view on Google Maps.
