Birmingham, AL – The Toasted Yolk Cafe is preparing to open its third location in Alabama on July 14, 2025, bringing its popular breakfast and brunch offerings to the city. The new cafe will be situated at 231 20th Street S, Birmingham, AL 35233, and will operate daily from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

The new Birmingham location is designed to resonate with the city’s vibrant brunch culture, which has increasingly embraced fresh and community-focused dining concepts.
Before the official opening, the Toasted Yolk Cafe will host two exclusive VIP soft opening events on July 11 and July 12, 2025, from 8 AM to 12 PM.

Notably, proceeds from these soft opening events will benefit Girls Inc. of Central Alabama, an organization dedicated to promoting the wellbeing and education of girls in the community. Guests attending the VIP events are encouraged to make donations to Girls Inc. rather than paying for their complimentary meals.

With an emphasis on farm-to-table freshness, the menu has been crafted to satisfy a wide range of preferences for breakfast, brunch, and lunch.
Founded in Houston, Texas, in 2010 by Chris Milton and Mathew DeMott, the Toasted Yolk Cafe has rapidly grown in popularity. The chain currently operates 46 locations throughout the Southern United States and has more than 14 units in development in various states, including Texas, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, and Arizona.

This prime location is expected to attract both students and local residents who are eager to sample the cafe’s diverse menu and enjoy a lively brunch experience.
As the city continues to cultivate its reputation as a food destination, the Toasted Yolk Cafe aims to become a beloved addition to Birmingham’s culinary landscape.
