The Local Yolkal Cafe

It was busy as all get out and the kitchen was backed up so food took a little longer to make it out but it was WELL worth the wait. I had the classic eggs Benedict with potatoes and my husband had the waffles with link sausage and grits.
If there was one negative, hubs said his grits needed seasoning, but that could be either because the kitchen was feeding a packed house and seasoning fell by the wayside, or they keep it bland so the customers can add seasoning to their liking. Either way, if the worst thing you can say about a place is that the grits needed flavor, I think they’re doing something right.
My eggs Benedict was very good. One egg didn’t run when I cut into it, but the flavor overall also made that forgivable. And the other poached egg was so textbook perfect, Gordon Ramsey would have been proud. The hollandaise sauce was fantastic. The potatoes were perfect also.
Our server was a sweetheart who busted her tail for her customers.
I also loved the variety of juices, teas, and coffees they offered outside of the standard soft drinks and such. It’s not often you find a place with that much variety of beverages.
I would certainly recommend this place and would most definitely go there again.

A place for breakfast. Great food service. Made me think I was a regular.

Went in to eat breakfast. They were extremely busy but my food came out in a very timely manner. Food was delicious!

We had the pleasure of eating here, and it was a treat. Nice staff, and the food was absolutely amazing. I only wish I was local to this area so I could come here every week. Definitely recommend.

Great breakfast in the afternoon. Local Yolkal serves breakfast and brunch up to 3 pm. We sat outside on a sunny afternoon, but a few people were inside eating also. We had the Capital breakfast special and an Egg/bacon and cheese croissant. Everything was hot, delicious and the service southern friendly. Food was priced fairly although drinks, coffee and ice tea seemed a little high at $2.29 each.

Nice local feel. The cinnamon roll french toast is amazing. It was so good that I went back the 2nd day and got it again. Great food and great people.

This is our "go-to" for a fun brunch. We jump on our motorcycles and ride to Milledgeville once every couple of weeks.
The menu is eclectic and fun. We've had both breakfast and lunch items and it never disappoint.
The staff is on point with fabulous service.

Delicious food and super nice wait staff! My husband had the sardou eggs Benedict (he always gets that) and it was delicious as always. I always get the Hemingway eggs Benedict-because I love spinach and smoked salmon. Never disappointed. If there is a small problem they fix it with a smile! We will be back next week!

If you're craving breakfast, this is your place! I only had time for a breakfast sandwich but this satisfied every hope I had for a hot egg, ham and swiss breakfast sandwich! Delicious! Not to mention the staff were pleasant and welcoming. This needs to be your "go to" for breakfast cravings!

Great little spot in Milledgville. Make sure to stop by. Their breakfast and lunch menus are great! Service was great. Place was clean. Can’t say much more!

Very nice server. Food was abundant and delicious. Price was fair.

This place is so delicious, I had to eat there twice. The eggs Benedict and the chicken and waffles were both incredible. The grits are really eh but everything else is fantastic!

I wish l lived in the area so I could dine here more often. Awesome breakfast spot that is sure to please all. Cute decor, clean facilities, top notch service and delicious food makes this place a definite win ! 🏆 Five 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 highly recommend!!!

I had biscuits & Gravy, an egg, over easy, and hashbrowns. Earl Gray tea. Table of local men and few other couples. Personable owner. Enjoyable experience.

Always our goto for a classic homey style breakfast. They're only open until 3pm but worth getting out of bed at a decent hour for. The service is friendly and fast. I love their omelettes and the biscuits and gravy are always pretty solid. They sell booze too! There isnt anything that you could go wrong with on their menu though. Havent really dived into the lunch options since their breakfast is what we go for, even if it's at 1pm on a Tuesday.

We got the cinnamon bun French toast and the crab cakes Benedict. Both were AMAZING! The crab in the crabcakes tasted super fresh. The cinnamon bun French toast was moist and delicious and not overly sweet. The home fries were cooked PERFECTLY! The cheese grits with a sprinkle of salt and pepper were perfection as well. The mimosas were unexpected and quite refreshing. If you're in the area, I HIGHLY recommend checking out this breakfast/brunch spot.

Our grandson and his parents were visiting today (Sunday) and wanted to try a local brunch place. There was a 45 minute wait for a table as it was Parents Weekend at the college. We actually waited 32 minutes and the wait was worth it. Great food and service!

Absolutely Fabulous
You must stop here for a cozy, friendly atmosphere and the best breakfast I have tasted in awhile. Skip the chains and eat local. You will be glad you did.

Super cute breakfast/brunch/lunch place in downtown Milledgeville. Within walking distance from GCSU main campus. We had the classic eggs benedict and the chicken and waffles. Both were excellent.

I've been going for years. One the best places to go in Milledgeville.
