Known for its vibrant atmosphere and an irresistible menu of breakfast, brunch, and lunch offerings, this beloved cafe looks to captivate the hearts and appetites of local residents.
Colette and Charles Lewis, the sibling team behind this new venture, are set to bring their extensive experience in restaurant management and community engagement to a city known for its brunch culture. "Birmingham is a brunch-lover's dream. The city embraces fresh concepts, bold flavors, and community-focused spaces, which makes it the perfect home for The Toasted Yolk," expressed Colette Lewis with enthusiasm. The cafe's location in downtown Birmingham, adjacent to UAB—the state’s largest employer—positions it perfectly for success in this vibrant community space.
Before the grand opening, The Toasted Yolk Cafe will host two exclusive VIP preview events on Friday, July 11, and Saturday, July 12, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. These events aim to support Girls Inc. of Central Alabama, a charity dedicated to empowering young girls through education and community involvement. Guests will have the chance to enjoy sneak peeks of the restaurant’s offerings while contributing to a noble cause—proceeds from these special events will be donated to Girls Inc. Attendees with reservations will be treated to complimentary meals, while being encouraged to donate in lieu of traditional payment, truly embodying the cafe’s commitment to giving back.
The Toasted Yolk Cafe's menu is a culinary delight, showcasing both classic and innovative brunch items. Diners can indulge in favorites such as the Cowboy Scramble, the Yolkwich sandwich, and the various renditions of the Arnold Palmer drink. To accompany its delectable food offerings, the cafe features a full bar providing an array of brunch cocktails like the Rise 'N' Shine Punch, Bloody Maria, and Jackie's Morning Rita, tantalizing patrons’ taste buds and enhancing their brunch experiences.
Located at 231 20th Street S.
