The Flying Yolk - Simi Valley — Restaurant in Simi Valley

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...

The fact that there are people in Simi that havent tried this place is a travesty. The kind of restaurant that deserves to be triple it's current size or have multiple locations because the food is THAT good! I moved out of state and this is the place that I miss the most because I just can't find anywhere that does what they do anywhere near the same level of quality.

Lots of restaurants have their menu photos that look all dramatic and glamorous but once it's on your plate it's paltry and sad. A depressing drop off from what the photographer sold you. Not so at the Flying Yolk. Your "omg that looks amazing" sandwich that you got off the menu is just as gorgeous when you get it out of the bag.

The quality control is honestly baffling to me. The bacon is actual legit perfectly cooked bacon (not the sad reheated bacon shaped rubber you get at a McDonald's). The egg in your sandwich isn't overdone. You get halfway through your sandwich and the glorious yolk breaks and starts running down your hand (I'm sure they'll cook it through for the children out there). The tots/hashbrowns are crispy out and soft in. You bite your sandwich and you get that hint of maple flavor, not too much, just enough to make it feel like breakfast as a kid (when the pancake syrup spread over your plate and got onto your eggs and bacon). Every bit is thoroughly satisfying and it's not skimpy. Despite the food being absolutely delicious I dont find myself sad after finishing my sandwich. My appetite is completely sated and I'm absolutely content (neither over-full nor under-fed).

I can't praise this place highly enough....

Breakfast just got a makeover! This new breakfast place is exceptionally good and offers a unique assortment of breakfast items not typically found at your normal breakfast place.

From the moment you walk in, you know this place is far from the norm. Pictures of hand-drawn eggs flying in the air above steel sided walls. Not the greatest decor but they truly make up their look in the flavor.

On my 1st visit, I had their the breakfast bowl. It was obvious they know how to cook eggs & how to prepare them to perfection. The lil potato tots were delicious too.

But on my next visit, I decided to see what this breakfast sandwich rave was all about. Wow! Highly recommend their Avocado Morning sandwich. Make sure you’re extra hungry cuz it seems there’s about 4 eggs inside that sandwich. Again eggs cooked to perfection. Their sauce added a great tangy touch. Adding bacon made it taste even better.

Upon coming back over and over again, I have fallen in love with their CALI FRIED SANDWICH! It’s their best breakfast sandwich. If you have a big appetite, ask for extra bacon and extra tomato. WOW!! Flipping amazing breakfast sandwich. If you like salsa, ask for a cup of their homemade green salsa and/or a side of sliced jalapeños.

Their coffee is very good too and freshly brewed throughout the morning.
