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! :-)

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ...).

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 ).

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.

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.

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!

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.

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 :)

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.

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!!

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..

We stumbled upon this corner coffee shop and were really impressed with the excellent quality of the food served. Staff were friendly and coffee freshly brewed. We will definitely return when in Reading.

We came here on Saturday around 12 and had a lovely breakfast. Eggs royal and also simply eggs was yummy. Great eggs. The new layout is much bigger and more room so we didn't have to wait for a table which was the great. Super friendly service which was refreshing. The big downside was we got a parking ticket. Parking is a nightmare to be able to go. We would make this our regular but no parking is a game changer!!

Cafe Yolk has got to be my favourite cafe in Reading for brunch! The food is consistently excellent and the staff friendly and warm. It's the perfect spot to catch up with friends with something suitable for everyone. It's clearly very popular, since finding a table is usually not immediate, but I can certainly say it's worth the wait.

If you like Nepali food/ snacks with your drinks. if you like Sisha and you want a nepal like place to hangouts. This one is a must visit. I had visited during my travel to Reading and went here with my friends. the place was buzzing with nepali music and neplai sounds. and all the nepali snacks made me remember nepal. Owners were very Friendly and that is always a good thing to find. I would say a must go please

Arrived about 9:20AM ordered my drink and waited. I watched roughly 11 other people get their drinks before me and they had all ordered after me. Mostly they were receiving coffee of various types. My order was a black tea. Yup, hot water and a tea bag. Doesn’t seem like it would take long to make an order like that? After waiting roughly 8 minutes I left as I had a train to catch. They have a disorganised system of the cashiers yelling the order to the coffee makers so if they don’t hear it or acknowledge it you won’t be getting ya beverage. I won’t be going back.
