Lycopersicon lycopersicum 'Kellogg's Breakfast'

A tomato I grow every year. Gorgeous orange color. Huge tomatoes. Very productive. Excellent flavor. Plant and fruit does get big so does need good staking.

We've had excellent luck here with 'Kellogg's Breakfast.' It is productive, delicious, hardy--by far the best yellow tomato we've grown.

This is my absolute favorite tomato! Amazing size, very high yields, and a dense, meaty juicy flavor that can't be beat. In my opinion, no other tomato matches this unique beauty in our garden. I will always grow this and highly recommend it!

Robust, meaty tomato. The plant grows vigorously here, with a very sturdy vine and lots of large fruit. Excellent for eating fresh. Makes wonderful spaghetti sauce.

I've found this plant to be a heavy yielder of large, strongly-flavored orange beefsteak tomatoes. The flavor is complex and quite intense, truly delicious. The fruits can be a bit misshapen, and I've seen some cracking at the stem end, but have had no problems with blossom end rot. It matures earlier than the other orange beefsteak I grow (Persimmon), but not as early as my standard red varieties. The plant is tough and has held up well in the heat. All in all, this one's a must-grow for me.

Lovely flavor; enormous fruit. Lots of catfacing but we don't mind that. Very vigorous vines.

Edited to add that, as seedlings, Kellogg's was very very runty: much smaller than the other cultivars I grew. I was told this was not unusual for this cultivar and that the problem would remedy itself at planting. Within two or three weeks, this cultivar had indeed reached the height/breadth of the other tomato plants.

I give it "Thumbs up!!"..... delicious, large size, sweet, no disease problems. A winner for taste!!! Will definitely grow again.

A terrific orange tomato. Our son is a chef, and Culinary Institute graduate, he was surprised and impressed by it as well. Much more flavorful than other orange toimatoes that I've tried. Grew easily, few blemishes, and none had blossom end rot which has been a problem in Ohio this year with the erratic rain due to near drought conditions.

When I bought two organic Kellogg's Breakfast plants to be grown in pots on our rooftop in Brooklyn, I was pretty skeptical that they would work out. To my surprise, they thrived there, although the fruit are somewhat smaller and less plentiful than I imagine they'd be in the ground, they are amazingly flavorful and juicy. They totally exceeded my expectations for a yellow tomato, which normally seem sort of bland. Highly recommended!

This is my favorite orange tomato. Lots of good flavor unlike many that are bland. Makes excellent spagetti sauce. It does tend to crack radially about the stem but I found that if you picked it while the shoulders were still green, you could avoid this and it didn't negatively impact the taste.
OOps..did I mention that these produce huge tomatoes? I had several 2-3 pounders. The slices were so large that they had to be quartered to make them small enough for sandwiches. yummy

An American family heirloom from the Kellogg family of Michigan.

These deep gold monsters have a wonderful fresh taste that isn't bland at all.The texture is firm,not mushy, and it can cover a piece of bread with one slice.

They are a favorite in my garden and everyone I've given them to.
