Yolks cracked onto the Vancouver dining scene as a food truck and has now exploded into a true breakfast phenomenon. At its Broadway location, you’ll usually find a crowd eagerly waiting for a seat inside so they can feast on the eatery’s famous design-your-own eggs Benedicts. Diners craft their own varieties starting with a protein, a carb (a gluten-free option is available), and a topping — either hollandaise or aged cheddar. If you have room for dessert, the beignets are indulgent, but a must try.
Yolks might be known for its perfectly poached eggs and design-your-own breakfast menu, but if you feel like taking a break from les oeufs, you can’t go wrong with a bowl of oatmeal. These sweet and smooth oats are cooked in spiced apple cider served with regular or almond milk. There’s also the option to top off this rib-sticking bowl of oats with a dollop of yogurt or sliced banana. Oatmeal bowls are available at the Yolks food truck (usually parked at Burrard and West Pender), the commissary location in East Van, and the new outpost at Broadway and Cambie.
This beloved food truck recently opened a full-sized restaurant at Broadway and Cambie, making it even easier to get your hands on perfectly poached eggs throughout the day. Unlike the grab-and-go truck, the brick-and-mortar location is licenced, which means you can pair Yolks’ signature build-your-own breakfast dishes with boozy delights. Easy-drinking mimosas with sparkling wine and orange juice are available in 6 oz. or 12 oz. glasses, or a 34 oz. jug to share with friends. Alternatively, opt for a manmosa, a freshly squeezed glass of OJ served with a Jerkface 9000 beer from Parallel 49 Brewing on the side.
