    Lemon Blueberry Mimosa
    Rosie M.

    I think we've just discovered our new favorite brunch spot! Today was my turn to pick where we'd go, and I wanted to find a place that serves chicken and waffles. I checked out Yelp and found The Broken Egg Café -- the pictures looked fantastic. When we arrived, the wait was only about 25 minutes, which wasn't too bad. I noticed they offer a half order of chicken and waffles with different sides, so I decided to try that along with a side of gumbo. I also got a side of loaded grits. The gumbo was absolutely delicious -- I wish I'd ordered a full bowl because it was so flavorful and perfectly balanced. My second favorite was the loaded grits, made even more tasty with Gouda cheese--I didn't even realize I liked Gouda that much.

    Shrimp and Grits

    I am extremely disappointed with how this location packed my order. PLEASE SEAL THE BAG COMPLETELY! Twisting the handles together is NOT a secure way to seal a food order. It leaves an opening large enough for someone to put their hand inside and remove or access items when the handles are untwisted. A third staple in the middle of the bag, instead of twisting the handles, would be a much more secure and appropriate way to seal the order. I am particularly concerned because the bag I received looked as though the handles had been retwisted, and one of the Brown Sugar & Sage Sausages in my order LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE HAD TAKEN A BITE OUT OF IT! That is extremely disturbing and raises a serious food-safety concern. I should not have to wonder whether someone had access to my food before I received it. There was also no butter or jelly included with this order, even though those condiments were included with my order TWO DAYS AGO for the English muffin that came with the Sunrise Spinach Scrambler. If these items are supposed to accompany the meal, they should be included consistently. For the prices being charged, I expect my food to be properly packaged, securely sealed, and delivered complete. This is not an unreasonable expectation. Food should NEVER arrive in packaging that appears to have been opened or tampered with, and there should be consistency in the items included with an order. Please address the packaging issue with the staff immediately. I also expect this order to be reviewed because of the concern that one of the sausages may have been accessed or bitten before I received it. I've tried this restaurant 3 times and am ready to review the food. First order (pickup): Shrimp and grits - NOPE... it was a sloppy soggy mess. Made with more gravy than actual shrimp and grits. Definitely would NOT order this again. The beignets were hard and dry and the caramel latte had NO taste or sweetness to it AT ALL, $58 wasted. Plus they charged me twice. Second order (delivery): The sunrise spinach scrambler was delicious. The sage sausage was delicious. The country potatoes were horrible... overcooked and dry. Regular grits were regular, nothing spectacular but at least they were seasoned. Condiments included in the bag. Everything was fresh and delicious. Third order (delivery): The sunrise Spinach Scrambler was just ok this time around. The gouda grits were ok, but really sure the $4.54 upcharge is worth it. The food wasn't hot and it was a lot of wetness in container. There were no condiments in the bag. The sausage looked tampered with cause the bag wasn't sealed properly. The portion sizes were decent for orders two and three, not order one since it was mostly gravy as you can see by the posted pictures. Do better with consistency and packaging and I'd rate this a 4 or 5 star.

    Buttermilk Pancakes
    Jairo A.

    I recently stopped by A Broken Egg Cafe for brunch, and overall it was a really enjoyable experience. As soon as I walked in, the atmosphere stood out--it was warm, nicely decorated, and had that relaxed brunch vibe that makes you want to sit and stay awhile. Our waitress, Shayla, truly made the visit special. Her customer service was top-notch--she was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond by bringing us complimentary biscuit beignets while we were still deciding what to order. Those were absolutely fantastic--light, sweet, and a great way to start the meal. For my main dish, I ordered the eggs Benedict. It was good, but not the most flavorful in my opinion. That said, it was only my second time trying eggs Benedict, so my expectations might not be fully dialed in yet. I also had a side of buttermilk pancakes, and those definitely stole the show--soft, fluffy, and everything you'd want in a perfect pancake, the breakfast potatoes on the side were also a great addition to my meal who doesn't love potatoes. Overall, I had a great experience. The service especially stood out and really elevated the visit. I'd definitely come back to try more items on the menu in search of that full 5-star feeling. For now, I'd give it 4.5 stars, mainly thanks to the excellent service.

    Lobster brie omlette
    Mark B.

    I was in the area for work and looking for a relatively local place. Another Broken Egg is a chain, yes, but only in the sense that they have other locations in Texas. This trait is both an upside to the local vibe and quality, but a detriment that it is so far from where I live. Because I would definitely be a regular. There were lots of folks waiting on this Saturday morning as I had time to kill before flying home, after visiting the area for work. But, the host station handled everything well, quickly acknowledged people coming in, communicated clearly, and added folks to a text-based notification system. I opted to wait for the bar area and it proved to be faster. The bar staff were phenomenal, friendly, energetic and perfectly attentive. It's a modern cafe in a "strip mall" shopping area in a sense, but still, worth visiting. For the food, I had the coffee. OMG great Colombian coffee, so good. I drank it black - it needed no help. Adding cream or sugar would be an insult. And it was served in a beautiful stoneware mug. I ended up buying one as a souvenir ($23 at the time of this post). I also had the lobster brie omelette. I wasn't 100% on it by the name, but wow - it was amazing. The lobster was just right, it blended with the brie very well, and the eggs and other additions made a beautiful omelette ensemble that hit the spot.

    Yummy! I had the blt and saved my busy day at work. The bacon was fresh and so happy I get to pick the multi grain bread which I needed than starch. It was delivered and timely!

    Cinnamon Roll French Toast $13.49 5/5
    Rana R.

    Great choice for brunch! Lots of good options on their menu but the one that stuck out to us was the cinnamon roll french toast! That was actually the deciding factor on why we chose Another Broken Egg Cafe. Wasn't too busy on a Friday morning around 11ish AM and was a pretty full restaurant. The service was good & the food came out pretty fast. We ordered the french toast (a la carte) mentioned earlier [$13.49] & Eggs Benedict [$14.99] but we subbed the english muffin for the biscuit cause I wanted to try it. The biscuit was really fluffy and good. Love a good biscuit! The hollandaise was not really hollandaise. It's not the yellow sauce we know and love. It tasted more like light gravy which we were surprised by BUT didn't hate. I actually really enjoyed it as it was a new twist on the classic Eggs Benny. Mmm the french toast was the best I've had in a while. Definitely didn't need syrup, maybe it already had some, IDK. It came w/whipped cream and some fresh berries that complimented the sweetness of the french toast! Chef's Kiss! The restaurant was clean and there was plenty of parking in the square full of restaurants. It only got four stars because there was nothing really that blew me away where it warrants a 5/5 rating. With that said, I'd definitely be back if I was in the area again.

    Loaded Bacon Gouda Grits
    Vandesha L.

    I'm not a huge fan of chain restaurants but this one gets it right. While I come for the delicious omelettes I'm obsessed with the cookie dough waffle. It use to be seasonal but it looks like it's coming to stay (fingers crossed). I love to try new things so the apple fritter French toast was a must and who doesn't love loaded grits? While the service was excellent the communication from table to kitchen could use some work. The potatoes came hot and fresh but they were not seasoned as stated on the menu. Stick to basic things if you want you food hot and fresh, otherwise you could end up waiting a bit and your food will be cold. Overall this is always my breakfast vibe. Great music, delicious food, good service, all at a reasonable price.

    This restaurant is close to one of my work locations and I often come with colleagues for brunch/early lunch. They can get pretty busy but we always manage to get seated without too much of a wait. The menu is primarily comfort food with some healthy choices as well (salads, half sandwiches, etc.). I think overall the food is good and is comparable to a regional or local chain type of deal. Think Denny's but better. I guess what I am saying is it's a good place for office dwellers to hit up. I will definitely keep going back with co-workers. The food they serve satisfies if that makes sense. It's a very clean establishment and the bathrooms are near spotless.

    Soft Shell Crab Scrambler
    Sophie C.

    Ambiance: modern and moderate noise for weekend brunch. Lots of families dining out and about, but tables not necessarily elbow to elbow. Service: pretty good for a busy morning. Still smiling and attentive to our additional requests Food: limited season soft shell crab was awesome! Mayo based sauce went well but wasn't overpowering or drenched in oil. The light sprinkle of veggies/scallions also helped cut the overall heft of the meal. Potatoes were alright, 3/5. Felt they weren't that fresh and were kinda dry. Kids French toast plate was pretty good portion. Most people including us left with leftovers.

    Classic French Toast
    Amber L.

    We've been told by many that Another Broken Egg Cafe would be a strong contender for a go to chain breakfast spot. We've also been told the Tooth Fairy was real. Now we just think people are liars. Another Broken Egg is a name fitting for just another boring experience. Parking was easy to find, although the spaces are pretty small. We put ourselves on the waitlist and waited close to 10 minutes before we were able to be seated. The restaurant doesn't really have any inspiring decor, at least nothing gimmicky like other spots. The service was pretty slow for a half full restaurant on a Sunday afternoon. Bathrooms were moderately clean as well. As for the food, it was largely uninspiring, even for breakfast. We ordered the French toast with sides of bacon and eggs and the supreme omelette with a side of potatoes and toast. The French toast was very average, something you could find an equal pretty much anywhere. Bacon was very much the same, eggs are just eggs. For the supreme omelette every bite was different, some good some really bad. The bites with mushroom were notably not good as the texture just felt off. All around a big swing in a miss with the most redeeming thing being the size of the plates we ordered. By the end of our trip to Another Broken Egg Cafe we felt very underwhelmed by things, particularly the food which is pretty important considering it's a restaurant. This is by no means a bad restaurant but certainly one we would not recommend going to.

    Definitely not just another broken egg cafe. Not only is the food salivating, but they also have excellent service. There's gonna be a long wait on the weekends, so best to join the waitlist here on Yelp before arriving. I did and got a table within 5 minutes from walking in. Just make sure you walk in within 10 minutes of your estimate wait time. The options are plenty and all make it difficult to decide. They serve Simply juices, and it's one of my favorites, so I got the Apple. Then once I saw chorizo on the menu, I had to order the Southwest Scrambler served with flour tortillas. I chose the potatoes as my side and they came loaded with bacon and cheese. Everything was mmm mm mmm good!

    Eggs and bacon included with Cinnamon Roll French Toast
    Yvonne V.

    Visited on a Sunday for brunch. You can check waitlist times and place your name online via Google etc. Wait times were 20-30min. Atmosphere, prices and service were very nice. I was just not a big fan of the food. Coffee tasted bitter, hamburger patty was the thinnest I've seen, the cinnamon roll French toast had too much going on. I was excited to try someplace new, but will have to skip this one. Again this is solely for the food, everything else was fine.

    We grabbed brunch with a couple friends after axe throwing next door. This is a great little complex with fun things to do, dining, shopping. Really cute area to walk around too. We enjoyed our brunch here - I loved the crab cake eggs Benedict. The iced coffee was yummy too. Lots of breakfast and brunch options. Our group has varied preferences but all enjoyed their meals!

    I've become one of those people. The ones who quietly drift…read moreaway from coffee and discover matcha... only to become completely obsessed. No regrets. And if my bank account would cooperate, I'd happily be drinking a matcha from Cafe du Bliss every single day of the week. This little family-owned café has completely stolen my heart. First things first--it's tiny. Like, blink-and-you've-missed-all-the-seats tiny. If your goal is to settle in with your drink, get there when they open at 9:00 because those seats disappear faster than free samples at Costco. (I've also noticed people walking in and immediately grabbing drinks that are already waiting for them, so apparently online ordering is a thing. My next personal mission is figuring that out because I clearly need this knowledge in my life.) Now... the drinks. Every single one we've tried has been exceptional. My personal happy place is their matcha lineup. The Strawberry Matcha? Outstanding. The Strawberry Cloud Matcha? Equally fantastic. The matcha is beautifully vibrant without that bitter, overly grassy punch that turns so many people away. The strawberry complements it instead of overpowering it, creating a drink that's balanced, refreshing, and somehow disappears far too quickly. I keep telling myself I'm going to branch out and order something different... but then I see that beautiful green matcha again and all my self-control leaves the building. The Banana Matcha Latte is officially next on my list. I also "borrowed" a few sips from my twins' drinks (that's what moms do). The Mascarpone Tiramisu Latte? Dangerously delicious. The Dalgona Brown Sugar Latte? Equally impressive. Honestly, at this point I'm starting to believe they simply don't know how to make a bad drink. The only menu item that didn't completely win me over was the Strawberry Banana Croffle. The croffle itself was lovely, but for my taste, the chocolate pushed it over the sweetness line. Without it, I think it would have been just about perfect. (For those wondering: A croffle is a Korean croissant + waffle dessert.) And here's the thing... One menu item that wasn't my favorite doesn't even come close to changing my opinion of this place. Not even a little. The drinks are consistently outstanding. The service has been warm every single visit. The fact that it's a family-owned business makes me want to support them even more. Finding a café that gets me genuinely excited to try my way through the menu is rare. Cafe du Bliss has done exactly that. Now if you'll excuse me, I suddenly have an overwhelming craving for a Strawberry Matcha...

    My friends put me on to this place, and it did not disappoint!…read more This cute café is tucked away in the Arboretum shopping center in Austin. It's kind of hidden in a corner, so if you're having trouble finding it, I recommend using one of the large maps on-site to make it easier. I ordered the Banana Matcha Cloud and a Blueberry Croffle. After my first bite, I immediately regretted not ordering a few extra croffles for the road--but I guess that just gives me an excuse to come back and try the rest of the menu. If you're unfamiliar with croffles, they're croissants pressed into crispy, buttery perfection in a waffle maker. They're topped with an assortment of mouthwatering ingredients before being served, making for an incredibly aesthetic (and delicious) treat. They also serve warm, freshly made taiyaki with a variety of fillings that are just as tempting. This place stays busy, and for good reason. Even if there's a line, it's absolutely worth the wait. They move through orders quickly, the service is efficient, and the quality never seems to suffer. I left completely satisfied, and this spot has definitely earned a place on my list of cafés I'll happily keep coming back to.

    This first watch was great! The service was super courteous,…read morethe place was so nice, full of happy customers, a beautiful restaurant, and the food was varied and good! What is not to like? We had our final Austin brunch there and were happy we made that choice. Of course it's a chain restaurant, but good quality food is always nice. So I remembered that they have a virtual line you can join - and sometimes that works- and so I joined the line. We had a party of 6 going. At brunch... that was going to take a while! Well The strategy worked as we were in their list when we got there! So remember to get on that waitlist so you won't have to wait so long while at the restaurant Warning: their coffee is strong! Lol - we had a cup while waiting, and I was done. Lol! We ordered the turkey sausage and gravy with a biscuit and potatoes. We still had the gravy craving since we got so little of it at Another Broken Egg the day before... well this time we got a good serving of gravy to complete our craving! Yess! However... since I'm comparing... I did like yesterday's gravy more... I guess First Watch's gravy was healthier (turkey sausage) and needed milk- it was good, don't get me wrong, plentiful and flavorful, but... the other one was better ‍ Then we also shared some of these strawberry French toast. The French toast was thick and yummy and the whole thing looked super delish! I personally would have liked real whipped cream on top- I think this was miracle whip and just a let down in consistency for me. Yuck. It was left behind. And the strawberries were not all fresh? It had a great flavor, but we found we were sorting thru the strawberries to get the fresh ones versus some that were not. My daughter said she enjoyed it and would get it again... but also didn't like those 2 details. Anyway we are being picky. But those are opportunities for improvement- so that's what it's all about. The other friends got some omelettes and a veggie dish but we were seated far so I couldn't get their pictures- oh and a delicious morning drink with orange juice and some other juices that we unfortunately spilled all over... but most of it was delicious ! Anyway: we had great service, good food, and a fun goodbye brunch in Austin! Until Next time !

In addition, the restaurant was sparsely populated. Very quiet environment... Stephen, our server, was accommodating and attentive. He provided a high chair and joyfully toasted my muffin, when asked. I paid at the table via a QR code. My friend paid at the cashier's desk at the front of the restaurant. Overall, great dining experience.

    I'm a sucker for anything British, even if it's a gaming room. Who doesn't love a board game cafe?…read moreThey had me with the architecture. Pure Tudor elements and vibes. They've got a huge outdoor patio with a Tardis and lots of seating. Inside they've got a couple of different rooms. You enter in the coffee house/bar side that has counter and table seating. They have a wide variety of tea, coffee, cocktails, 30+ beers on tap, n/a, sodas, etc. The center of space is a shop with gaming items, plushies, books, etc. Off to the right is a very large dining area with several cove-like Tudor booths. Perfect for large gaming teams and events and rad that you're able to have a meal or snack while playing (no outdoor food or drinks allowed). This is a perfect haven for D&D peeps. The British theme runs throughout the entire space including the menu. My boyfriend and I shared a Bavarian pretzel and brisket pie. The brisket pie was incredible and made feel like I was back in the UK at a local pub having a bite. Absolutely perfect. I'm not a gamer and you don't have to be to appreciate this inclusive, welcoming environment. It's eclectic, charming, & tasty!

    I love this place so much, it's such a vibe if you just want a chill night playing board games with…read morefriends, but I will say that their food game needs a little help. They have an extensive menu with fun seasonal drinks (including mocktails!) and a variety of food options that are kind of Western European themed (think England and Ireland), which goes along with the theme of the place. I got the Grilled Chicken Sandwich with English Chips and while the sandwich was okay (can't really go wrong with cheese, pesto, and grilled chicken), the chips stole the show for me and will for you if you like thicker/potatoey friend fries. As for their fish and chips, they were fine, but the fish was more breading than fish and was on the sweeter end, which I didn't expect, but didn't hate either. We also tried their Ranger, Bard, and Cleric mocktails, and I have to say that I was a little disappointed as the drinks were extremely overpriced compared to what we got... the Bard was essentially a fancy glass of Trix cereal, the Ranger was cucumber soda, and the Druid was sparkling lemonade, all priced at $8 per drink. I can appreciate that they have mocktail options, but $8 for a cup of cereal is too much for my taste ‍ They get four stars from me because the ambiance, concept, service, and experience were fantastic, but the food quality and prices need some work.

The biscuits were amazing, and both the spinach omelette and the over‑easy egg were cooked perfectly. The whole place felt bright, clean, and relaxed. Our server, Malcom, was fantastic and really made the visit stand out. The coffee was solid too, and it looks like they've got plenty of gluten‑free options. We'll definitely be back to check out their brunch.

    We arrived for lunch, and were seated right away. The restaurant was not at all crowded, which was…read morea bit surprising since other times it's been sooo full... we noticed the floor was very sticky by our table- the table was a bit sticky too, so they cleaned it again and were given the menus. New items! How exciting: I had not been here for a couple of months. This time I decided to try their matcha- it comes topped with a chocolate pistachios cream (this was a bit too much for me, my daughter liked it) and the matcha was also too sweet for me, but very flavorful. For our main dish I ordered the shrimp and grits, and my daughter ordered biscuits and gravy. My dish had 4 small shrimp (which I ate) a lot of anduille sausage bits, and a lot of flavorful sauce over these soupy cheesy grits that was not what I expected. It was served as a "soup" with a spoon. There was some toasted bread on the side of the bowl. While everything was very flavorful, I did not like the soupy consistence, it was unexpected for me. My daughter's biscuits and gravy, on the other hand, needed more gravy... she liked the dish but she felt her gravy was too little for the serving. Then she also ordered a half order (1) pancake with cinamon roll French toast and we took that home. It had good flavor! Overall, I enjoyed the food, the flavors were good, the prices have definitely gone up a LOT. 3 stars for good flavor as expected- but I was not "blown away"... but yes of course I would come again! Enjoy!

    Our first visit to Phoebe's Diner definitely won't be our last!…read more From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome with their friendly service and warm hospitality. The restaurant was spotless, and even the restroom was exceptionally clean, which says a lot about the pride they take in their establishment. The food was absolutely worth every penny. I highly recommend the Badass Bacon and eggs, it was delicious! My daughter ordered the Smoked Turkey on a Pretzel, and she loved every bite. We both took it to go but was happy and impressed with our meals. If you're looking for great food, excellent service, and a clean, welcoming atmosphere, I highly recommend giving Phoebe's Diner a try. We can't wait to come back! The pictures belong to Phoebe's Diner but we sadly take our own. We will next time.

The servers are always incredibly friendly and make you feel welcome every time. My go-to order is the chicken and grits--it's absolutely delicious and one of the best things on the menu. Everything I've had has been fresh, flavorful, and comes out quickly, making it a great place whether you're in a hurry or just craving a good breakfast. My only real complaint is that they don't offer a pancake combo, which I'd love to see added. The side items can also be a little pricey. Even with those minor drawbacks, the quality of the food and the excellent service keep me coming back. Definitely one of my favorite breakfast spots in town!
