They messed up my order and it was still the best chicken sandwich I’ve ever had! I know I’ve said that before but this time I really mean it. My egg was overcooked, no runny yolk and yet this chicken sandwich, on a house made brioche bun with a well dressed arugula was amazing. I hesitate to put this in the standard “chicken sandwich” category. It really is in a class all it’s own. Big juicy thighs, how many times do I have to say that? Forget those dried out breasts… And the spice on the coating, do I detect 5 spice? We also got an egg in a cup thing with mashed potatoes and that was good but it’s all about the chicken sandwich. Next time I’ll get two sandwiches and the dirty tots.

I tried the Mad Chick sandwich and it was GREAT! Huge piece of fried chicken and pairs great with the fried egg and greens. Can’t remember what the sauce was but it also was great. Cool vibe. Quick in and out breakfast for a person with a busy schedule. Wish they had some cold brew options for the coffees, the iced Americano was so-so. Still a great experience!

Found this gem in Santa Cruz while picking up some stuff on sale and decided to find something to eat in the area. fFund this place close by that just opened. There is a paid parking garage close by or paid street parking. I believe it was opened 5 month again in a very busy downtown by the marina. Cute busy place where you can see many college students go. Very hip welcoming restaurant.

Stumbled upon this great brunch location in downtown Santa Cruz. They serve unique egg sandwiches that will blow your mind away. You have got to try the “Mad Chick” sandwich, a juicy house-marinated fried chicken with an over-easy egg, pickled cabbage, baby arugula, and garlic aioli. We also ordered the B.a.e. sandwich, a soft scrambled egg, extra sharp cheddar, thick cut bacon, avocado, caramelized onions, and sriracha aioli. This place did not disappoint and the service was spot on. I highly recommend you stop in next time you’re in Santa Cruz.

Ate here for the first time today! I had the chicken sandwich and it did not disappoint! I added bacon and caramelized onions. The garlic aioli was bomb! Sandwich was wrapped nicely as to not make a mess. Bun was perfect. All around great experience and I’ll be back for more soon!

Nothing short of amazing. Excellent sandwich, I got the Mad chick and a Jasmine Lemonade, it was off the hook! The breading alone on the fried chicken in my sandwich was enough to be stoked about! I love how it comes with arugula and pickled cabbage?! Who would have thought?? The egg wasn’t runny, just perfectly cooked as was the entire sandwich. Choice. Y’all got me stuck on your food.. I will return very soon, most likely with company!

The service, menu and food were great! The sitting is a bit of a hassle just because how popular it is! I got the mad chick and a drip coffee to go and omg! The sandwich was good hot and cold! The chicken was a big piece and garlic-y! The sandwich was about 12ish dollars and coffee about 3.50ish! Overall would go again and try out more of the other menu items!!

Mad Yolks has my new go to breakfast joint. Their Shroomer is my favorite sandwich with their spam as a hot second. The vibe is minimal cute and it’s always clean when I stop in. If you’re lucky to get a table to eat in, swoop it up.
