Hear from our valued guests
This place knows how to make a great breakfast sandwich. Love that you can customize how you want the eggs cooked. I will definitely continue to go back! Also love that they have a vegan sausage sandwich option!
The storefront offers so much more than the sandwiches. I'm making my way through the menu on a weekly (sometimes, twice! 🤫) My favorites so far is the Berry Tasty for breakfast and the steak and cheese for lunch. Quick and friendly service. Ordering online is so clutch! It tells you and estimated pickup time and then follows up when your order is ready.
Whether there for breakfast or lunch you find something on the menu and you will love it. The burger crunch wrap is a MUST!!! The staff and service are so awesome!
I live in Stamford, but was in the area, so a friend recommended I stop into tasty yolk for a quick breakfast. The banker which has two eggs spicy aïoli, and brisket was unbelievable. The brisket was so tender and flavorful and it was the perfect breakfast sandwich it hit the spot! Christina was such a sweetheart at the register and gave me a lot of great recommendations. She’s super knowledgeable and very friendly. She those the menu inside and out. I wanted a low sugar drink and they carry spindrifts so she recommended that as well. Thank you so much for the help Christina you are awesome and this place is great! Food is 10/10!
"Found" this place while having some time to kill waiting for an appointment. Just outstanding! Folks behind the counter were friendly and accommodating and the food was insanely good. I'm glad I don't live too close by...wallet would be thinner and I would not be..Don't hesitate to check it out.
I love that the space was neat and clean even though it was a busy morning. The service was attentive and efficient, which is about as good to me as being kind and prompt. I honestly look forward to trying the food at other locations.
We thoroughly enjoyed our freshly made breakfast sandwiches and cucumber lemonade nestled in the front window counter-top-nook while listening to upbeat, club tunes. The egg was perfectly cooked with just the right amount of moisture and piles of crispy bacon. Driving through Connecticut this was a choice local spot for grabbing a quality meal.
I LOVE this place. The Fatone breakfast burrito is the best breakfast burrito by far in the area - and I am a breakfast burrito enthusiast and expert. It's toasty and salted (the salt really elevates it) and even though I'm not a fried egg fan, I actually really love the fried egg in this burrito. The green hot sauce takes it above and beyond, so make sure to order that on the side. I like to chase a Sound Coffee latte with a burrito from Tasty Yolk. Together, those two make for PERFECT Black Rock morning fare. There is no better way to spend a morning. Food travels well, too, which is huge, though I do like to sit at the bar and chow down on my burrito because God forbid I wait more than 2 seconds to indulge, I love it THAT much!
Tasty is hands-down the finest breakfast spot on the planet…and their lunch offerings are equally outstanding! Every dish is crafted with genuine love, using the very best locally sourced ingredients assembled with pure magic. Over the years, I’ve tried countless specials, and without exception, each one has been an absolute delight. The team’s ability to maintain such extraordinary quality and consistency at their impressive pace is nothing short of astonishing and deeply admirable. They wholeheartedly deserve every bit of the well-earned growth and success they’ve achieved. You truly can’t go wrong with anything on the menu—it’s all phenomenal! Text in your order to whichever location for the fastest service (they are very responsive!)
Update 12/2025: I came to try the December special, the Duck the Halls: duck confit, sweet potato hash, arugula, 2 eggs, and spicy aioli. Mine was not cut, not sure why but super tasty with tender duck meat! I also tried the pork belly bao buns: pork belly, picked onions and chimichurri and avocado. These were outstanding, with a nice crunch, a zippity do da from the picked onions and chimichurri, which was balanced by the smooth, silky avocado. Filling! And a cucumber lemonade to accompany. look forward to trying the monthly menu specials. For Oct 2025 it is the Local Yolkol, 1 egg, local kobasz, Two Roads beer cheddar cheese sauce (OMG), cheddar slice all on a pretzel bun. Deliciously satistisfying. And the homemade cucumber lemonade. You really can't go wrong with any sandwich here. Text your order before you head out.
