Cafe YOLK in Reading

Cafe Yolk used to be a favourite spot, especially when Sunny was involved. His passion and attention to detail really set the tone for the place, and it showed in everything from the menu to the service. Since his departure, however, it feels like something important has been lost. The quality of the food has noticeably declined, and the once-friendly atmosphere has become a bit lackluster. It’s disappointing to see a place that had so much potential fall short. Here’s hoping they can recapture the magic that made Cafe Yolk so special in the past!

I enjoyed my meal and the atmosphere. But the slim Eastern European waiter with the grey jeans spoke down to me for no reason although im very polite and respectful to everyone. Instead of letting me know that I was sitting on the wrong table and asking me nicely to move she just came over and said "HEY" (not in a nice way) and pointed with her hand to the next table down. And just kept pointing for me to move. It was done in a rude and arrogant way. I won't be coming back.

Been here before whilst in reading so not surprised by quality. I had a breakfast bap which was the best ever with scrambled eggs, beef patty, bacon and some unknown (but great) sauce and my wife had triple stacked pancakes which she loved. Food is top quality and a reasonable price but the mango juice was expensive at £2.50 for a very small bottle, which is the only negative. A bit out the way but well worth finding.

Great local brunch hangout spot. Food was fantastic and service was welcoming and friendly. I ordered the Canadian breakfast. Very yummy 😋

Upon entering the distinguished establishment, one is immediately enveloped in an ambiance of refined elegance and understated luxury. The café exudes an aura of sophistication, from its meticulously curated decor to the sumptuous, velvet-upholstered seating that invites patrons to linger. The service is nothing short of exemplary, with the staff exhibiting a level of professionalism and attentiveness that is rare in today's dining landscape. Every request is met with a gracious smile and a prompt response, ensuring that one's experience is as seamless as it is delightful. As for the culinary offerings, they are a veritable symphony of flavors and textures. The menu, a masterful blend of classic favorites and innovative creations, is crafted with the utmost care and precision. Each dish is a testament to the chef's artistry, showcasing the finest ingredients and a keen attention to detail. The café's signature coffee, brewed to perfection, is a revelation for the senses. Its rich aroma and robust flavor are complemented by an array of delectable pastries, each more exquisite than the last. The patisserie selection, in particular, is a highlight, with creations that are as visually stunning as they are delectable. In sum, this café is a haven of refinement and culinary excellence. It is a place where every detail is considered, and every moment is savored. A visit here is not merely a meal, but an experience to be cherished and remembered.

Had been to Cafe Yolk a few times way back when they first opened and had the most delicious food served by good people in a lovely environment. It was so good to go back years later to see the place thriving. In a time when the world is on its knees, hospitality has taken one of the biggest beatings out of all industries and Cafe Yolk is not only heaving (in a Covid safe and control environment I might add), the owner has clearly invested significant sums to 1. Make the Place Covid Safe whilst adding significant capacity 2. Make the place beautiful, welcoming and like every food establishment should be, immaculate. The food was amazing. Perhaps even better than before which is saying something! Served promptly by a friendly and professional team who all looked busy but happy. I remember on my first visit hearing the owner talking to his staff and thinking he sounds like a good guy to work for and I feel that must still be the case if the staff look happy. I hope I’m right as everyone who we engaged with was great.Dog friendly as well but without it being a petting zoo, ensuring a well balanced environment for all.I love everything about Yolk and take my hat off to the owners and team for making this, in my opinion, one of Readings best places to eat. Thanks again and see you soon!

Our family of four (children 14 and 12) visited yesterday (for our son's 14th birthday) upon the recommendation of two friends. We were not disappointed! Lovely vegetarian breakfasts and traditional English breakfasts... bacon and eggs cooked just as requested. Lovely friendly welcome by staff and the whole place felt spotlessly clean. Despite how busy they were, it felt calm and no delay on food - which was lovely and hot. It gets really busy, but they seem to turn the tables quickly and accommodate everyone. A lovely spot and we'll be back on our next special occasion! :-)

Went for brunch with some friends.. what can I say! Wonderful staff, covid safe eating area and delicious well presented food. Cant wait to go again. Also the farm shop is great, lovely fresh tasty produce

Incredible quality of food and great service. We decided to go to cafe yolk for a work lunch and the food was amazing. The quality of food on offer is next to none. Best cafe in Reading!

The smoothies were extremely yummy, kind team, dishes always full on flavouring. Would recommend here

been here a couple of times and have to say it is a very nice up scale cafe. always very busy mostly attracting the local university students ,the cafe is quite small so the wait for a table can be quite long so if you are willing to wait a while that is up to you .love the front design of the café very eye catching .you place your order at the till ,staff are young and seem a little bored and not very friendly. seemed more to look annoyed being there than anything! the cameral latte is very nice probably if i do say so myself the best cameral latte i have had.(and i am a avid costa coffee lover lol),,,prices are quite expensive but i think it reflects in the quality and portion size of the food.me and my children can never Finnish our meal when we come here that we have to take it home !.nice place i would recommend

Really quick and friendly service. Pancakes and coffee were so delicious. Didn’t feel rushed at all. Would highly recommend.

Vine aquí para el brunch con un amigo hoy. Teníamos la masa madre de aguacate con huevos y tocino, fue increíble. Luego pasamos a compartir los panqueques de nueces y plátano, y déjame decirte que fueron espectaculares.Excelente relación calidad-precio, buen servicio, buen ambiente.DEFINITIVAMENTE vendrá de nuevo.

Me and my friends came today for breakfast, everything were served very fast (I think, I got my latte in 2 minutes time) Canadian breakfast was sooooo tasty. Very nice and friendly staff, especially Ben. Thank you very much again and see you soon!

Well priced, well portioned and absolutely delicious. Cafe yolk is one of Readings hidden Gems, and well worth a visit. As a vegan I was simply spoiled for choice. If you go the smoothies are suburb ✨

Πολύ ωραίο μαγαζί ωραίο πρωινό πολύ καθαρό και φοβερό φαγητό θα ξαναπάω σύντομα γιατί μ αρέσει πολύ ο καφές του

Nice to stumble across such a place. We had 'Eggs any style' (poached) served with toast and herby potatoes. My fiancee had hers with bacon and I had it with smoked salmon. Lovely!Presented beautifully and was served surprisingly quick. Absolutely loved it and will come back again for sure. The place is super clean and modern with a great atmosphere. Highly recommended.Definitely didn't expect to eat such nice food on our journey today /

It is renovated into a more spacious and modern setting. The food is still absolutely delicious and comes in a good portion that could definitely feed you well. I am personally a big fan of their pancakes because they are fluffy and smell nice. The sauces are well made. Their milkshakes and smoothies also come in a large glass. Definitely a place you would want to go every weekend. Very much worth the price. Good vibes. Comfortable place to spend time with friends.

Cafe Yolk is one of our favourite places to eat. The breakfasts are always great quality and perfect every time. Atmosphere is very loud because it’s always busy. They always have a place to sit since we’ve been going even though it’s so busy. Prices are high but you get quality food. The facilities are always clean and the venue has plenty of friendly staff.

Quite an expensive cafe but the food is lovely. The shakshuka is a must but it is pretty salty. The seating area is really nicely lit and overall layout is good.

A great veggie breakfast and tasty coffee with a number of dairy alternatives. The food came very quickly, was cooked well and wasn’t oily like most cafe’s. Nice live atmosphere even on a Monday lunch time.Only downside is the door doesn’t shut by itself so it’s a little frustrating if you end up with a table by the door - as you’ll likely be getting up to shut it every 2 minutes! (Especially in the winter months).Despite this, will likely be coming back soon.

Visited on a Friday Lunchtime. Cafe was busy with students with few spare tables. Both food and service were great although prices are expensive. Would revisit every now and again as a treat.

Una vez que habíamos entendido, primero teníamos que pedir y pagar en el mostrador, la espera fue razonable dado que el lugar estaba lleno. El nivel de ruido era bastante alto con tanta gente, no ayudado por el muzak de fondo. La comida era muy buena y los batidos realmente saboreaban frutas (no como en otros lugares de Reading ...).

Un verdadero oasis en una ciudad no conocida por su excelencia culinaria; el hecho de que Starbucks llega a la lista de cafés "mejor calificados" de Tripadvisor en el no. 22 lo dice todo.Es cierto que está l'Ortolan (el único restaurante con estrellas Michelin de Reading), pero, si no quieres el almuerzo de 5 platos a 39 / cabeza, la única otra opción vagamente aceptable en el centro de la ciudad es probablemente John Lewis (también conocido como Heelas) , donde la oferta limitada y poco imaginativa también es indicativa de que "Nunca se vendió a sabiendas" se ignora claramente.Pero yo divago. La yema hace un muy buen brunch, de hecho. Todos los alimentos básicos están disponibles, recién cocinados. No hay buffet guisado aquí. También hay un ambiente bullicioso maravilloso y el servicio es eficiente sin ser apresurado. El café también es bueno.

Firstly to park close by is a nightmare. Food is good quality but Prices are HIGH. Unfortunately had to wait at least 30 mins for food on a Wednesday. The Restaurant was 70 % full.

Better not to come on Sunday morning! The food was not bad but there must be something wrong with the acoustics of the place. I felt very uncomfortable because of the noise level inside. We couldn’t even hear each other on the same table. Not a nice experience :(

The only breakfast bar with character that is what it says: a breakfast bar. Good coffee, excellent food! A refurbishment has provided more space now, but not necessarily as nice.

Wow what a transformation Cafe Yolk has undergone. The premises have expanded into a lovely light and airy conservatory where you have space to chat without your neighbour listening in.

Cheeseburger lunch. Well, there is a well done burger, a dry burger and there's also a VERY DRY burger . Guess what I was served . A waste of a quality ingredient. This is clearly a failure of their ethos strategically displayed on the wall (Don't be enticed). I wasn't asked my cooking preference. It's a shame as it was my first visit. The espresso con panna was good though (I think they made sure ).

Probably the best place to have breakfast in Reading. It has been recently refurbished, with more seating area. We need to come more often.

Esto nos lo recomendaron, así que fuimos a desayunar a eso de las 9. 30 de la mañana y estaba ocupado y estaba aún más ocupado en la medida en que la gente hacía cola afuera (supongo que todos los estudiantes), aparentemente, esto sucede mucho. El personal y la comida fueron excelentes y nos aseguraremos de volver. En esta ocasión, solo aceptaron efectivo, pero hay un cajero automático cerca.

A bright, clean café with very friendly staff. We visited for a late lunch. Bro in law had poached eggs with smoked salmon and potatoes. I had the Mexican Brunch. This was very tasty, freshly made and beautifully presented.

Es un costo vs. Pregunta de calidad y depende de usted decidir si la calidad cumple con el precio que está pagando. Algunos de nosotros estábamos pasando por Reading y, según la revisión que recibimos aquí para almorzar.

La comida era buena y tiene variedad que incluye opciones vegetarianas y veganas. Tenía un muy buen chocolate caliente. El servicio fue rápido aunque estaba bastante ocupado para un viernes.

Reading doesn’t have many places that serve a breakfast that isn’t dripping in grease so upon a friend’s recommendation I decided to try out Cafe Yolk.

Totally outstanding..... a must when in Reading, the food is superb atmosphere is buzzing would say the best destination for brunch and not to be missed.

This is simply perfect. The breakfast is truly the best comparing to many other good places we've eaten. Photo can't express but the chef's the star. Service was also 5 out of 5. Congratulations guys, you are so popular because you are so good ❤️👏

Really nice experience for a Saturday afternoon brunch with friends. Small and cozy place with fast service and friendly staff. A must visit in Reading, UK.

We’ve visited Cafe Yolk a number of times and it’s always been good, however, this time we were really disappointed with the pancakes. I think now that they’ve expanded and have so many more people to cater for, they’re pre-cooking the pancakes and then reheating which is a real shame, as they were hard and unappetising. Other than that, our food was lovely.

There was four of us for brunch and the cafe was packed. Waited about 5 minutes for a table. Two of us are vegan and the choices were great. Delicious food and great atmosphere.

Went with extended family for brunch. Had to park a short distance away. Food was excellent. Place was busy (Saturday morning) but didn't have to wait too long. We had a toddler with us but no issues with him. High chair readily available.

This is the place to go if you want a good Cafe breakfast on the posher side! Meaning your breakfast isn't cheap rubbery sausages dripping in oil.

Been meaning to come here for a while and finally did today. We both had the eggs Benedict and it was amazing. High quality food, highly recommend.

Had heard a lot about this place and seen a lot of beautiful pictures of the food on Instagram so decided to check it out with my friend. It was beyond what we expected, the presentation was amazing (I had French toast with berries and vanilla yoghurt), tasted incredible and the staff were very friendly. This place has taken over from our old favourite brunch place and we will be returning with more friends very soon!

Thought we’d give cafe yolk a try as we’d heard good things. Location - outside of town so can be out of the way but there’s plenty of parking (you do have to pay). We went on a busy Saturday afternoon; it was super busy and loud and buzzing. Food wise big portion sizes, lots of different options and tasted amazing. The smoothies (yoghurt based) did taste amazing. All in all really good experience and we’ll definitely be back to try more of the food.

Went for brunch on 31st August 2019 - not been before and had been meaning to try it for ages.

I love this place although I don’t go frequently because of the location (it’s not towards town where I might be heading anyways) and bit pricy for a cafe. Nevertheless you have to try this place atleast once. One of the best places for breakfast or brunch in Reading!

This is the place to go for vegan and vegetarian breakfast as well as others. The food was delicious and fast to come out. Try the scrambled tofu it’s flavour is exquisite. We were served by helpful and friendly staff also.

We popped in for a late lunch with our two little grandchildren and were disappointed that there were no child portions or child meals available.

Myself and a work colleague ate here prior to a meeting and were not disappointed I had the full English and my colleague ham and cheese omelette both were very well presented and tasty. If it wasn’t for trip advisor unless you’re local you would never find it.

The wait was around 35 minutes but we hadn’t been told that at the time we arrived. After 25 minutes of waiting we heard staff saying it would be a 20-25 minutes wait to people coming in. Bare this in mind if you have paid for street parking. We didn’t mind as we had been told by a friend the food was nice. The sausage was pink inside and quite clearly raw when bitten in to. We didn’t make a scene and as nobody checked to see how the food was (this place had a restaurant vibe as opposed to a slap up brekkie place so we were expecting to be checked upon), we weren’t able to be discrete at the time of eating. So on our way out we very quietly told the staff the sausage was ‘pink’, so we did not eat it. Who I can only presume was the manager became defensive stating that because the pork is such high quality and ‘very low fat content at 85%’ that there is no way it was under-cooked and that it was natural for the meat to look this way. I advised the member of staff I was only trying to be helpful, as not many people would eat a pink sausage, and I wanted to alert him in case they were cooked ‘in batches’. He once again told me I was wrong, and at this stage everybody was staring at us because he was being loud. I explained that I cook with higher meat content sausages (97%’ and have never had a pink sausage once cooked. I told him I didn’t want to hear any further responses, and was simply telling him that the sausage was not eaten because of it’s presentation. As we left the cafe he shouted after us ‘it is cooked... [something inaudible]’ and I could see the shocked looks on a lot of the customer’s faces. Where I perhaps would have tried the place again had the member of staff acknowledged the sausage did not look appetising, I will definitely not be returning here now because of being shouted after as I was leaving the cafe, in front of the other customers. I do not wish to have a response from the management of this establishment, as I can only guess that once again it will be defensive and rude. Food is only part of a reputation, they way customers are treated is also a very important factor!

Love coming to Yolk! Their pancakes are amazing and with some little herb potatoes on the side you can't really go wrong! Will be going back soon.

Cafe Yolk has produced exquisite breakfast for myself and partner. The food speaks for itself. Great coffee not too bitter. The glass conservatory gives more space and no queuing.

I was few minutes ago in this place and I am really surprised about how much the staff there can be unprofessional.

I came here recently on a Sunday and the queue was literally out the door, with good reason! I would definitely recommend booking this in advance but fortunately we waited. I have a lovely Mexican brunch and an oreo milkshake too. The staff were very friendly, there was a bit of a delay with food but its just because its so popular! Best breakfast I've had in Reading!

Arrived before my son’s graduation and got a table without a reservation. Good menu choices and all of our food was well portioned, tasty and arrived in good time. No complaints and would definite return. Good staff and service too.

I’ve been visiting Cafe Yolk for 5 years, I’ve seen multiple sets of staff, multiple renovations and it’s always been excellent in all aspects, food is amazing, staff is amazing and despite their small location they seat you efficiently and find you a space within half an hour. Today was the same as always on all the above factors. Sadly one of the waitresses today was incredibly moody throughout our time there, and while the service from the rest of the staff was stunning as always she monotonously snapped back at us, provided none of the usual smiling accommodation that we’re accustomed to and sadly put a little bit of a dampener on our visit despite everything else being excellent. Which is possibly why it stood out. Hopefully she learns to be a bit more friendly and enjoy the job more as she was incredibly abrasive and rude today. I decided not to ask for her name as we’d had enough of her passive aggressive presence throughout the meal and wanted none more.

The fist thing is the skip outside and the rotten wood ramp to get in. Then the dirty tables & staff that look at workman like they are scum dragging the place down. Prices are made almost so small you can't see them as if you did you would run out quick. Over priced and up it's own Ar## trendy rip off cafe. You would be better off at Mc D's

Had a most amazing breakfast at Yolk cafe. Excellent quality ingredients.Well cooked and presented

Visited here with some friends last weekend. We have visited previously and enjoyed it but the recent expansion seems to have caused a few issues with the service. There was a big queue and we waited half an hour to be seated which was fine and the waitress who seated us was very helpful.

The food is always very good quality, this is reflected in the prices which are quite high. My only negative is that it is very busy and not very big; we often have no choice but to sit outside.

Tiempo para un encuentro amistoso con amigos aquí en Reading. Nos detuvimos aquí atraídos por el buen olor. Encantador. Nos recibió un personal amable y quedamos encantados con la variedad de productos para el desayuno. Recomendamos el montecristo y el batido de plátano y arándanos. ¡Buen trabajo!

Solía amar absolutamente este café, es un lugar tan clásico para venir como estudiante (aunque el precio es bastante alto). Pero en mi visita más reciente luché por encontrar todo lo que quería pedir después del reciente cambio de menú. Solía pedir los gofres o el BLT, pero ambos fueron retirados del menú y, debido a esto, me sentí extremadamente decepcionado y tuve que pedir algo que no quería especialmente además de pagar una cantidad exorbitante.

Been trying to find decent American pancakes with proper crispy bacon and maple syrup. Finally found this amazing little cafe!

Adore este lugar, al otro lado de la ciudad donde vivimos, pero vale la pena el pequeño viaje, todo el personal es amable, el ambiente es agradable aunque un poco estrecho pero no puede ser ayudado, ¡pero la comida! ¡Increíble! Cada vez que nos tomamos una pequeña visita para escuchar que no decepciona, ¡tuve el shakshuka hoy, que fue simplemente fenomenal! Buena cosa

Primera visita a la yema después de críticas entusiastas de la familia, sin embargo, fue un promedio bastante.

This place gets busy, not a bad thing but the slow process of paying and taking orders does make the doorway congested. The actual place is noisy partly because of the hard surfaces and the coffee machine and also folk trying to talk over it to be heard. The actual food and drink is very good, certainly not average on that score.

Lovely breakfast and brunch. With excellent service. However, they only have tiny cafe, can’t supply enough spaces for all of their customers in one time.

It was a windy day today. We got to Cafe Yolk around 10.30am. My first visit. I already expected a longer waiting time as my friend told me it is always busy. We did wait outside in the wind 15minutes or so but it was totally worth it. i will do it anytime again. the cafe was packed, people coming and going continuously. some people even standing while drinking their coffee. coffee is excellent and the food beyond amazing. i had the best breakfast ever. the mexican breakfast. my friend had poached eggs on gluten free bread and loved hers too, third of us had a burger. also great. it was interesting to watch how the staff there handled everything really well. they dont stop for a second but still have a smile on their face and give advice if needed. i am definitely going back. gotta try those pancakes! we kept looking at a food served around us and it all looks like a piece of art on the plate. expect a wait when u go there but definitely go and try if you havent yet :)

A very small quaint cafe with people constantly coming in and others leaving. All with smiles as the positive energy of the cafe yolk people is contagious. The food is as delicious as the other reviewers have expressed. Especially the Apple cinnamon pancakes.

We do not come here often as it is the other end of town to where we live so we do see it as a treat when we do. Came here for a sat morning late breakfast, the queue wasn't too bad and we got seated indoors within 5mins or so. It is small and very popular but they have a lot of seats outside. Staff were very friendly and welcoming, the crowd was clearly very student driven and we felt old in our 30s being there! My husband enjoyed the classic English breakfast and I explored the sweet menu, a yummy vanilla milkshake with cream and a blueberry and clotted cream pancake stack which was delicious. Excellent value and quick service

Lovely people got us seated really quickly, served us a lovely fresh and tasty breakfast and all for a very reasonable price. A real gem!

Coffee was decent. That’s about it.

Tried the yolk burger and it was delicious and perfectly cooked. Food came quickly after about 10 minutes would really recommend this as a good lunch/brunch cafe.

Very good food which keeps high standards. Staff friendly and welcoming and knowledgeable. Breakfast has good quality ingredients. Love the tasty sausage and bacon.

Popped in for lunch today with a friend and what a pleasant surprise it was. I heard it was always busy but we found a table and the food was just brilliant. Luckily it wasn't very busy so food was received quite quickly and service was great too. Next time I want to pop in for brunch.

Its quite small and unassuming but Yolk certainly punches above its weight. Its all a cafe/restaurant should be. Interesting things on the all-day menu along with the usual items. Great pastries and all served in a friendly informal way. Would that there were more of these and less of the chain coffee shops. ! Hopefully, they will not be tempted to expand too much, although one couldn't blame them if they did.

Food is lovely especially breakfast. The coffee and drinks are good. It can be busy but the wait for a table is never too long! It’s kid friendly although buggy space is limited

I took my Mum and Aunty to Yolk for breakfast whilst they were visiting me in Reading. Omg the smashed avacado was amazing, the atmosphere is really buzzing and the coffee was very good. If your looking for an independent eatery with a cool vibe then this is the place. I’ll be back soon!

We love Cafe Yolk but as you’ve grown you’ve decided to shrink the portions but not the prices. I’d rather pay a reasonable price increase and get what I was hoping for than have to write a review on here. I’m glad I brought my microscope with me today so I could find the chorizo in my breakfast. Ah well, you don’t care or this wouldn’t have occurred. Such a shame that money is the important thing to you.

It gets quite busy at weekends but so worth the short wait! Huge portions of delicious food. We had the full English and did not disappoint. Was a great atmosphere. Staff were very efficient and attentive. Looking forward to going again soon!

Fuimos a Cafe Yolk para un desayuno muy tarde el otro día. Muy complacientes a pesar de subir 40 minutos antes de que cerraran. La calidad de la comida aquí es muy bien! Definitivamente le sugerimos que tome un batido de plátano con dicha comida, ya que es sabrosa.

Fuimos allí para el brunch alrededor de las 2 de la tarde y fue hermoso. El servicio era un poco lento pero era hermoso. La comida es increíble! Tenía el desayuno vegetariano que era realmente bueno y su zumo de manzana es tan fresco! Para el postre tenía el plátano y la tostada francesa de caramelo salado sin duda recomendaría este es más que increíble! ! !

I have been here a few times, each time has been great and friendly. On my recent visit I had the single classic burger and it tasted amazing. Definitely recommend the milkshakes too.

Estábamos bastante emocionados de probar este lugar, ya que tiene algunas reseñas excelentes y también muchos amigos lo han recomendado, sin embargo, después de nuestra visita nos dejaron sintiéndonos un poco mal.

Un grupo de alrededor de 10 de nosotros llegó para Brunch a Yolk, sin previo aviso de que llegáramos. Fueron rápidos para encontrar un espacio para nosotros en el exterior, y lograron sacar toda nuestra comida a la vez (lo cual no estábamos anticipando), ¡y muy rápidamente! Estaba delicioso. Todos disfrutamos muchísimo la comida!

I had Veggie breakfast yummmmm, really good service, clean.....really worth every penny. The vegetarian sausage was very nice. We didn’t have to wait long for our food. The coffee was amazing according to my husband and the hot chocolate rich and smooth. The only down side -it was packed so it was very noisy. If you want a quiet breakfast/ meal maybe consider sitting outside. Would definitely recommend.

Came here on a saturday afternoon and was very impressed. Everything on the menu sounded appetising it was hard to pick! The smoked salmon omelette was really good and so were the sandwiches and veggie fry up. Everything was in generous portions and was cooked well. We tried to come back the next morning to try something sweet (the french toast looked delicious) but unfortunately it was too long of a wait for a table for us. I am not surprised that this is a busy place. Next time i'm in Reading I'll definitely return!

Excellent breakfast and didn't feel like we were in Reading. The food was cooked to perfection and the portions were just right. We arrived at 10am on a Sunday and it was already really busy - a good sign!

Came here with my friends for brunch. I would highly recommend coming here after 13.00 so you can get a seat indoors. It is suuuper popular, and for good reason. I had the Canadian breakfast, it was gorgeous!!

English breakfast, pancakes, veggie options, milkshake ... I would stay here forever and eat it all 🤗🤗 excellent food and nice atmosphere

We had good, swift service and excellently cooked cooked breakfast, pancakes and crispy waffles. All delicious. Good coffee too. Independent!!

This place is awesome the food is very tasty and well presented, the staff are always perfect! The best egg place ever

Me and my wife went there on Saturday 11th August 2018 had an amazing breakfast, have been before but this time was more special and the food was amazing, bacon was cooked to perfection and my wife had salmon and cream cheese omelette and loved it, we will be returning and if anybody gets the chance go down there it's really nice

Great casual cafe with excellent food. Would recommend potatoes, Swiss and Mushroom Omelette, and pancakes.

Been back to cafe Yolk a few times in the past few weeks and have now got my other half hooked on the place. Really great atmosphere and good food.

Very small establishment however the food is incredible and good value for money. The place is always busy though so expect to be waiting Have eaten there a number of times.

Been here a few times over the years just because it's the only half decent looking place in the vicinity but really not had a single good experience. The junior staff are nice but managers invariably really rude. Food is weatherspoons standard, coffee is awful. It's in dire need of change of ownership. If they were in Reading/Caversham town centre and had to actually compete with the other Reading cafes (like Shed, Workhouse, recently opened Anonymous Coffee, Nomad... all excellent) maybe they'd step up their game with the friendliness of service and quality of food and drink. But there's no competition in the uni area so they'll probably keep on being awful. Shame.

Just visited with my brother and we had perfectly cooked runny poached eggs on toast. The potatoes that came with it were lightly spiced and very tasty. Really quick and friendly service. First visit, will definitely be back to check out the rest of the menu.

We had to wait about 30 mins to be seated, took another 30 mins for order to arrive. Though, the food tasted really good, it could be that the wait made it more delicious or may be it was good enough.. anyways, if you prepared to wait and wait for nice food, give it a try.. they really do good food with nice veg options..
