Yolks

What is Yolks? Positioned along the bustling retail strip of Bloor West Village just steps from Runnymede Station, Yolks is the Toronto outpost of Vancouver's acclaimed morning institution originally founded by chef Steven Ewing. The bright dining room channels a clean, contemporary diner aesthetic with blonde wood finishes, warm lighting, and a mix of spacious booths and café tables. It serves as an approachable neighbourhood anchor dedicated to scratch-made morning fare.

Yolks Menu & What to Order The kitchen revolves around impeccably poached free-range eggs, real-butter hollandaise, and crispy truffle-lemon potatoes paired with tangy house ketchup. Savoury stars include the melt-in-your-mouth Pork Belly Confit Benedict and the House-Cured Wild BC Salmon with ripe avocado. For those who lean sweet, order the fluffy Cinnamon Roll Pancakes or the Lemon-Berry Crispy French Toast alongside an order of hot beignets.

Know Before You Go Peak brunch hours on weekends see steady lineups, so arrive before 10:00 a.m. or swing by on a weekday morning for immediate walk-in seating. The restaurant sits a short two-minute stroll from Runnymede subway station, making transit much simpler than hunting for Green P street parking along Bloor. Operating hours run daily from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., catering entirely to the breakfast and lunch crowd.
