This was my 3rd visit and it was delicious. It didn't take long to be seated. The staff were friendly and helpful. The music that was playing was a great playlist to set the mood. The food is always hot, fresh, and delicious. If you can go on a weekday, you have a better chance of getting seated quickly.

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.

Another Broken Egg Café has the kind of menu that wants you to believe you're about to have a polished, indulgent brunch -- the sort of thing Austin does extremely well when a kitchen actually commits to balance and intention. On this visit, the ideas were there, but the execution felt like it took the morning off. The Lobster & Brie Omelette sounded like it was aiming for a little coastal glamour, the kind of dish that should feel light, silky, and just a touch celebratory. Instead, the Brie came in like it had something to prove. It sat on top in a thick, molten sheet that never melted into the eggs -- it just smothered them. Pair that with cream cheese inside, and the whole thing leaned dense and sticky on the palate. The lobster was tender, but it didn't stand a chance under all that dairy. In Austin, where chefs know how to let a star ingredient breathe, this felt more like "we had Brie, so we used Brie" than any real culinary intention. The gumbo missed the mark in a different way. The first spoonful tasted thin, like the roux never fully committed. It didn't have that slow‑built depth or warmth that makes gumbo feel like it's been tended to. The seafood didn't bring much character because the base wasn't there to support it. Honestly, the focaccia on the side had more personality than the gumbo itself -- and that's not the hierarchy you want. Service was warm and the space pleasant, but the food felt like ambition without follow‑through. In a city where brunch is practically a competitive sport and where balance, technique, and restraint are the norm -- these dishes needed more refinement and a clearer sense of flavor priorities. With a little more intention, they could be far more compelling than they were on this visit. Tell me this, Yelp fam... what is your fav brunch spot? Write a review about it if you have one.

Yum! Tasty spot for brunch!! We loved the beignets and delicious sugar filled breakfast items. The biscuits are massive and buttery. Great place for down home flavor. Would have loved to see espresso drinks on the menu. Beignets took a while to come out but were worth the wait. Service was friendly but not over the top.

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.

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!

Food was healthy, fresh, and filling. Tastes how it looks. Service was so fast, got the food in less than 10 minutes after ordering. The cafe is cute, servers are friendly. Overall a very welcoming homey vibe! The Pinapple Berry Agua Fresca was sickly sweet unfortunately, but I could taste that the flavors were natural, so I appreciate that.

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.

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.

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.

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.
