Toasted Yolk brunch chain to open in Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch

Brunch restaurant The Toasted Yolk, which made its Southwest Florida debut in Sarasota in February 2023, is opening in Bradenton and Lakewood Ranch this summer.

Known for its focus on both breakfast and lunch, the eatery traces its roots to Texas, where the first Toasted Yolk opened in 2010. Chris Milton, who grew up in Bradenton, co-founded the Toasted Yolk Cafe with a friend in Houston and is the company’s CEO.

Now husband-and-wife entrepreneurs Chris and Kelly Milton own the restaurant in Sarasota and will be the owners of the new locations in Lakewood Ranch and Bradenton.
