This was my second time visiting Yolk Brooklyn Park and they’ve created a fantastic atmosphere and ambience in a short amount of time. Food and coffee were also great. The only thing lacking slightly was I felt the service could have been a bit more attentive and personalised. Otherwise a great brunch spot!

Had a booking for 6.15pm on a Saturday night, however it was not busy. Ordered the beef burger and the chicken burger which both came with a basket of chips. Our meals came quickly. The chips were hot, crisp and yummy. The burgers were a decent size and were equally as tasty. There was music playing but it was very loud that it was difficult to have a conversation. Later when we went outside, the music was extremely loud… I felt sorry for the hotel staff that were on the floor below trying to check people in. All in all the restaurant was really good except for the loud music.

Food & coffee always very good and was served in good time. Although, a little inconvenient to not have table service; it wasn't a chore to go up to the counter to order.

Was an excellent night - service was very friendly and I felt looked after as it was my birthday. Restaurant wasn't very busy and food was great, could hear the music from the bar which was a lovely guitar player. Steak slightly on the expensive side given that it didn't come with sides and we added those. Wine selection by the glass limited but by the bottle was good.
