Yolky
Treat Your Teens to Verdun's Cutest Egg Sandwich Spot in Montreal!
Yolky is an egg sandwich counter on Wellington Street in Verdun. The concept centres on a single idea done well: soft milk bread filled with a fluffy egg omelette and a house made spicy mayo sauce, dressed up with toppings like caramelized onions and pan seared chicken thigh. It is a fast, casual stop that has become a favourite for a photogenic bite between exploring the neighbourhood, within easy reach of the Promenade Wellington strip.

Where:
4355 Rue Wellington, Verdun, QC
🚇 De l'Église
Highlights:
- The Signature Egg Sandwich: The base sandwich pairs soft, pillowy milk bread with a creamy omelette and a spicy mayo house sauce. It is the item Yolky is best known for.
- A Menu Built Around Cloud Egg Toast: Yolky calls its concept Cloud Egg Toast, with a classic version alongside combo options like corn cream, caramelized onions, peanut butter and jam, ham and cheese, pan seared chicken thigh, and beef sauteed with black pepper. Each combo comes with the sandwich, a hash brown, and a coffee, with the option to upgrade to a different drink from the menu for an extra charge.
- Add-Ons to Customize Your Order: Beyond the set combos, extras like bacon, cheese, and caramelized onions can be added individually.
- A Duck Sandwich Worth Asking About: Beyond what is printed on the menu, a duck sandwich was available during our visit and is worth asking about at the counter, even though it is not one of the standard listed combos.
- A Soup Menu in the Works: At the time of our visit, Yolky was in the process of adding tomato and cream of mushroom soup to the menu. Both were not yet listed, so it is worth asking whether they have made it onto the official offerings by the time you visit.
- A Wide Tea and Coffee Menu: The drink menu spans milk teas like jasmine green and Ceylon black, fruit teas in flavours such as strawberry, mango, and passion fruit, a salted plum tea, and coffee drinks including espresso, americano, and matcha or vanilla lattes.
- Right on the Wellington Strip: The Verdun counter sits on Rue Wellington, making it easy to pair a stop at Yolky with a stroll along Promenade Wellington, one of the neighbourhood's most walkable commercial streets.
Recommended Audience:
This is a good stop for parents with teens and young adults in Montreal who enjoy trying newer food spots and want a quick, casual bite while exploring Verdun.
What to Expect:
A small, fast casual counter serving fluffy egg sandwiches and tea, with a handful of seats for eating in alongside the option to take your order to go.

Some things to consider during your visit:
-
Seating Is Limited: The Verdun location does have a few seats, so it is not strictly a takeout only counter, but space is tight. If you are visiting with a larger group, it is worth knowing ahead of time that you may not all get a table at once.
-
Do Not Expect a Runny Egg: The egg here is a fluffy, fully cooked omelette rather than a runny style. If you have tried other egg sandwich shops where the yolk is left oozy, it is worth knowing ahead of time that Yolky's version is fully set, which is typical of most Korean style egg drop sandwiches.
Disclosure: Our visit to Yolky was hosted in exchange for our coverage.
