Broken Yolk Discounts & Coupons

by

The Broken Yolk Cafe in Oceanside is now open, and my hubby and I finally went in to try it out.  The decor is so nice, the actual size of the restaurant is huge with both indoor and outdoor seating.  We both had a delicious breakfasts, and we never even had to ask for refills on our coffee.  The best deal at the Broken Yolk is the 2/2/2 which is 2 pancakes or french toast, two eggs, and two pieces of susage or bacon for only $5.99!  It is a lot of food and usually my hubby and son will share this and be full!

There are so many readers who often ask about Broken Yolk coupons, and where can you find them.  I was able to get into contact with Broken Yolk Cafe Oceanside, and they were nice enough to offer all of you 10% off of your bill just by mentioning SoCal Savvy Mom this month!  Broken Yolk Cafe Oceanside has also offered to accept coupons from the San Marcos or La Costa location, how sweet is that!  As far as coupons go right now there are coupon ads in the North County Times three times a week.  Starting in April there will also be coupons in Valpak and Clipper Magazine, don’t trash those next time you get them in the mail.  Or use these links to search your city to find the most recent coupons in Valpak and Clipper Magazine.  Another way to save money is to Join the Broken Yolk Club to receive exclusive coupons, news, and even birthday specials.  I hope some of these will help you save a little extra on your next visit to Broken Yolk!
