Another Broken Egg Cafe

Shout out to Naisha!!! First time here and the staff was AMAZING super friendly and very attentive. Kayla our waitress was great and we will definitely be back again. Food was AWESOME!!! Thank you again :-)

Came on a rainy weekday around 9:30 in the morning and there was plenty of parking, and we were seated right away.
The server was pleasant, efficient, and took care of business.
I had crispy bacon (and it was crispy) it was delicious not greasy at all. I had one pancake and that was sufficient as it was dense (the server let me know ahead of time). The pancake was great.
The only drawback was that it was very loud, like the commodities trading floor.

Being from Atlanta I have had the pleasure of experiencing many great restaurants that offer great food at a fair price. This place however is not even close. The prices suggest the food would be top notch but the food was just average.
My wife got the Belgian waffle and I got the Cajun skillet. The waffles was 8 plus 1.50 for strawberries and .79 for whipped cream (which they forgot and had to bring later). There were so few pieces of strawberry I can’t imagine it was more then a couple cut up. Certainly not worth 1.50. Was able to only eat 25% of the waffle with strawberries. For what we paid it should be covered in strawberries. This did not feel like a value at all.
The Cajun skillet was just okay… I can name 3 other places with far better.
Orange juice was 4 dollars. That sums up the the pricing.
Our server Lindsey was not pleasant at all. She seemed unhappy and not too concerned with pleasing us.
The place was freezing inside!
With so many great places to eat that offers better food and friendlier service at a better value I can’t imagine this place will last long. We certainly won’t be returning.

My BF and I have been here a few times over the past year and each time it has been very good. We usually sit at the bar and we have had fantastic service.
I’m from Mandeville, LA where the original was started and we loved going there growing up, so it’s nice to have a piece of home here in ATL.
The shrimp and grits are to die for, just like home, and everything else I’ve had has been great too. There is also a nice variety of healthy items, I love the egg white omelet.
We will for sure be regulars :)

We did something here I have never done before… walked out without paying. We didn’t eat anything since our food was nearly an hour late, but our experience was so bad we just left.
We arrived at ABE on the morning of NYE. It was a bit slow, but picking up. We sat at the bar to order quick and leave in time. I believe the person working behind the bar had other tables to wait on– that can be the only reason she’d leave for long periods of time. I blame management, not her for that. It took us too long to get our order in.
The place kept filling up, but our food never came. We started seeing people who came in after us getting food, so I finally asked someone working there (the bartender/​waitress was MIA). That woman said she’d check on it. The bartender/​waitress came back… then someone walked up to here and from what I could tell, basically told her that our food order was never put in. She came to us and said «I just heard your food would take 2 minutes and the manager is already looking at the bill.»
Of course it didn’t take 2 minutes, it took like 15. By that time, we had been waiting an hour. The place was slammed at this point and I suspect the kitchen was under staffed.
When the plate was put in front of me, there was a 3 inch grey hair baked into the cheese on the top if my omelette. I told my husband we are leaving. I looked for our waitress (missing). I found someone who I thought was the manager and asked her if she was the manager, she said no, he was in the kitchen cooking and it would be a few minutes before he could talk to me.
I told her to thank him for the coffee, but we were leaving after waiting almost an hour for food with hair in it.
The food here is always mediocre, but passable breakfast food. But after this experience, we will NEVER go to another ABE café.

Service started off pretty bad. No hostess in sight, line of people forming at the door and no one acknowledging us for some time. I finally got one of the bartender’s attention and she was very nice & helpful. We actually ended up sitting at the bar & the service was great from there. I had the supreme omelette, my husband had the Popeye omelette and both were delicious. He also tried a pancake, I suggest you pass on those – not worth it. Overall, the bartenders and the great food made up for the rocky start.

The wait was over an hour and once we were sat it took another 30 minutes to get our appetizer. They do offer a «no wait» app that makes it able for you to put you name on the list before getting there. We have downloaded that to avoid having this problem again.
Even though the wait was long the food was delicious! For appetizer we had the fried green tomatoes and they were by far the best I have had. I had the hey Lucy omelette while my boyfriend had the turkey and Brie sandwich! The omelette was a little too cheesy for my taste but all around good flavor.
I would recommend this restaurant!

Took the in-​laws here for brunch and it was spectacular. They are foodies and were very happy with our choices. Our waiter brought us complementary beignets because it was our first time. What a treat! We ordered the Cajun Potato skillet (the roasted garlic just made it), Sweet Potato Pancakes (surprisingly spicy!), and the Brie and Fruit on French Baguette. The Sweet Potato pancakes were sprinkled with pecans and the extra heat really brought out the cinnamon. I usually get overwhelmed with sweet breakfast entrees but these were amazing! The Brie and fruit was such a great marriage of sweet and savory. We had great service despite how busy it was. Make sure to download the No Wait app and check in through there at home. We walked in and got our table right away! Overall wonderful experience.

Great Food!!! Beignets, Cinnamon roll french toast. Huge and delicious. We didn’t have a longwait time eventhough it was very busy. Service was excellent!
Ask for Taylor, very efficient waitress.

We had the Lakeshore, Stan’s Mardi Gras, Supreme Cajun Potato Skillet, Beignets and one Monster Cinnamon Roll. That’s because we were so hungry after a 45 minute wait. But it was well worth it and the service that Annie K gave us was also great!
If you like your coffee strong be sure to ask for the dark roast. It also won’t disappoint your palette.
They don’t take reservations so you may want to go early. On weekends this place gets packed. We will definitely be back so time soon.

Not the greatest omelette but I liked having the options that I don’t get at other breakfast spots.
The seafood omelette was okay. I prefer my ingredients mixed into the egg and not just folded over.
Nice atmosphere and apparently we just beat the Sunday rush.
We will probably try it again to give other food options a chance.

Good Breakfast food… Blueberry Grits… oh yeah… variety of pancake and egg options… The Vinings location is a great early morning breakfast spot, the menu has some unique items, that can switch up the typical breakfast.
Long waits during peak times

I was very disappointed in this spot. It is overpriced and under quality. For $ 9.99 I had two eggs, a muffin, and 2 strips of bacon. I ordered my eggs over hard and they were runny. The waitress never even checked on me to get anything different. I was disappointed in the variety of dishes to order from, I didn’t want shrimp or lobster in my egss or other items. I just wanted general breakfast. I would not go back, disappointed in service, quality of food, and it is overpriced. Yet on a positive side it was very clean!

I’ve never been to any of the borken egg cafes so here’s a review from some fresh blood.
Like any plaza, it might be a little hard to find, but it’s right by Banana Republic and Francesca’s on the second floor. I showed up around 11:30AM and it was crowded, probably since it was basically a national holiday. The restaurant is very homey and has a nice patio area in the side.
The wait was going to be about 40 minutes but the bar is first come first serve so my friend and I camped out and managed to snag two seats within 10 minutes.
I didn’t order any drinks but they did seem very generous with their champagne servings in the mimosas. And the bloody mary looked pretty amazing.
I went ahead and ordered their sweet potato pancake, which was pretty tasty. You can make it a combo if you’re really feeling hungry. It came with pecans, whipped cream and syrup which had a hint of orange.
Now for the negative: Service is sloooooooooooow. I don’t know if it was just because I was sitting at the bar, but it felt like most of our time was spent waiting. And note: we were sitting directly in the middle of the bar, right in front of the servers. We had to wait over 5 minutes to even get a menu and some waters. Another 10 minutes to get our orders in. They only gave us one set of silverware and I had to ask for another. It took at least 35 – 40 minutes for both of our orders to come out, which is a little crazy. So if you are in a rush or if you were hangry, I’d go somewhere else because most likely, you’ll be waiting a while.
Overall, I’d come on a slower day and would love to try some other stuff on their menu, especially their coffee with irish crème.

This was my second visit to ABEC but my first time having breakfast, (I think I came for lunch before).
I was dining alone (which is rare for me since I’m a married gal :) and I know to some people that’s intimidating but I actually quite like it… maybe I’m weird… I don’t know there’s something different about experiencing places alone that intrigues me. When you’re not staring across the table at someone else (or on your phone) you have a chance to really absorb everything about the experience whether you’re at a restuarant, movie, museum… whereever.
Anyway, I digress. So I walked in and was greeted by a very friendly hostess and shown to my table. In two mins or less, even though the place was fairly full since it’s a pretty popular spot, my server came out and took my drink order. My server was also really sweet, fast and knowledgable about the menu.
I ordered the «Traditional». Two eggs, your choice of meat, an english muffin and potatoes. They have a note that you can substitute anything you wish which I liked because some restaurants seem to get offended when you want to mix and match LOL. I’m not one to «customize» anyhow, I’m just simple that way. I will take the meal you’ve so kindly taken the time to put together for me and place on your menu thank you! My wife on the other hand will change, mix, match and substitute EVERYTHING until it is to her liking. LOL.
I had a craving for grits with my «Traditional» but I noticed that the only grits on the menu was a grits bowl with various toppings. I didn’t want that, just wanted some plain olé grits on the side of my meal so I asked my waitress and she said that they had butter grits or cheese grits available so I ordered a side of the former. The food came out quickly and it was mighty delicious.
Eggs scrambled with cheese: my least favorite part of the dish. They were dry and stiff, not «juicy» like I like my eggs to be. Does that sound gross? LOL
Bacon: YUM! Perfect! crispy, crunchy, but not overcooked, flavorful and delicious.
English Muffin: It was an English muffin
Potatoes: Very tender with a crisp to them, perfectly seasoned.
Grits: Not bad but not the best grits. pretty standard. They were supposed to be «butter grits» but when they came out they didn’t seem to have much (any?) butter in them so that was disappointing. Maybe I should’ve added cheese? Eh, they were just okay.
All in all, the food was good, the restaurant is also very cute and pleasant place to eat, gives off a real «breakfast at home“feeling». But, it was the service that made my day… super fast and friendly!

My my, let me tell you about the best breakfast I’ve had in a long time. This was my very first time dining here but it most certainly won’t be my last!
This location is right in the heart of vinings, parking is a little tight in front of the restaurant but plenty of parking around. I went on Saturday around 12pm, there was about a 30 minute wait for my party of two. Inside is nice, typical breakfast setting, but very clean and nice. Patio sitting is also available.
The menu ranges from waffles to egg skillets. Honestly everything sounded so good, it was so difficult to choose. I went with the Hawaiian French toast combo with eggs and bacon. When I tell u this is probably the best French toast I’ve had! Cooked perfectly on both sides, sweet and the maple syrup brought everything together. It was perfection on a late. The bacon that this place served is thick cut and is amazing as well. He had the Lucy omelette, highly recommended by our server, also a very good choice. Finally I’ve found my breakfast/​brunch go-​to! Looking forward to coming back.

Once again Unilocal led us to explore and find this restaurant in Vinings for my favorite meal of the day, breakfast. What distinquishes this breakfast restaurant is I think it it the most expensive breakfast restaurant I have ever encountered. What is significant is that I found the food and service meets the expectations that the prices lead you to expect.
A full coffee bar with appropriately classy hand crafted mugs are the first thing to impress. My coffee and my son’s cappuccino were excellent. I forget how the menu described the orange juice, but it was something like the «best orange juice you’ve ever tasted.» With a come-​on like that I couldn’t resist, and I’ll have to say– it was!
Their menu features a wide variety of creative takes on omelets as well as pancakes and other eggcentric dishes. You’ll find many original and unusual breakfast creations that you’ll not find elsewhere. My omelet, the Bacquezo, was great, my son had the Supreme and a low-​carb sub of grilled peppers in place of the standard potato or grits sides.
Our server was Ellie and like most breakfast places, the waitresses can make it or break it. Ellie was all sunshine on an overcast day in Atlanta. A first class breakfast spot when you are looking for something a little more upscale. Looking forward to one of these coming to Memphis very soon, near our home town.

You know what’s surprisingly difficult to find in Atlanta? Breakfast.*
*understood is the always-​availability of Waffle House/​IHOP, but this is an opinion based on trying to find breakfast for those _​not_​hungover or desperate.
Not brunch, that starts at 11 a.m. all across a myriad of restaurants across the Metropolitan area, but actual _​breakfast_​, that meal we has human beings like to eat when the clock has a leading single-​digit a.m. hour.
I know there are jokes about why anyone in their right mind would be up at any time before brunch hours on a weekend in the first place, but I’m also an avid runner, and the occasional charity run necessitates being up at some asinine times sometimes, which means they’re typically over before 11 a.m. And after you’ve run/​walked several miles, breakfast sounds like a better idea than flying cars.
Anyway, a cursory search for breakfast on the old iPhone yielded a surprising number, or lack of, options that weren’t brunches that started at 11 a.m. Finally, I came across Another Broken Egg, and I was relieved to finally have found a place in my target area that was actually open before 11 a.m., and had a very promising menu.
This particular location is in the Vinings Jubilee shopping center off of Paces Ferry Road. Probably easiest accessed off of I-​285, but it can be gotten to from several directions off of I-​75 as well.
Now I had a little bit of anxiety going there, because anyone familiar with Vinings Jubilee, or the surrounding area in general is probably aware of the massive chokepoint potential the traffic on the single-​lane direction road that’s Paces Ferry. Where a single car needing to turn left can clog the road for a half mile at a bad time. But seeing as how it was before the city-​mandated 11 a.m. brunch time, it was pretty easy to get there, and the parking wasn’t (yet) too chaotic.
There was no wait for my party, but the restaurant is clearly well-​liked and wasn’t the least bit slow. The workers were all friendly, efficient, and operated like the proverbial well-​oiled machine. Holding doors, expediting plates, drink refills and preemptive bringing of menus and drink orders were the norm.
The décor of the establishment is definitely in the «cute» realm. The orange/​yellow/​muted greens color palette of their place has a warm and welcoming feel, and felt like the perfect place to sit down for a relaxing breakfast.
Ultimately, food is what brought us here, and it’d be silly for me to burn (even) more words on stuff not the food. But I’m completely sold on Another Broken Egg. The food I had was all awesome, and I would gladly come back in a heartbeat.
To elaborate, for starters, they had beignets. THEY HAD BEIGNETS.
It’s probably more me not getting out enough, but off the top of my head, I can only think of one other place that had beignets in the Metro area, and even those were a daily special. But Another Broken Egg’s beignets are hearty, not too airy, and heavy on the powdered sugar (a good thing) and served with an orange marmalade that’s great at complimenting the flavor and not drowning it.
Aside from the delicious beignets, Another Broken Egg’s menu tends to lean towards a lot of New Orleans flavors; something I wouldn’t have expected with a name like «Another Broken Egg.» I’m not complaining though, because I love foods of such profile.
I ordered a skillet that didn’t just have the typical eggs, potatoes and peppers, but it was loaded with andouille sausage and shrimp. The portion was generous, the quality was fantastic, and I enjoyed each and every bite of it.
There were no complaints from my party, from the quality of their food to the prices (which are fair, and nothing you wouldn’t pay anywhere else). Everyone who worked there was friendly and efficient, the quality of the food was excellent, with a menu full of genuinely unique flavors and options, and it was a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere for breakfast.
It’s not a matter of saying I would most definitely come back, it’s really a question of just when. BEIGNETS.

I recently went to Another Broken Egg Café for brunch. As expected with anywhere in Atlanta, there was a little bit of a wait. Within about 20 minutes, we were seated and warmly welcomed by our waitress (she gets 5 stars for service… super attentive and kind).
I ordered a coffee and the Hey Lucy with egg whites and a side of fruit (instead of potatoes). The omelette had a great combination of ingredients – avocado, breakfast chorizo, sautéed onions, green chilies and Cheddar-​Jack cheese. The food was pretty standard, but enjoyable.

My boyfriend really liked this place. I thought it was okay. The prices were fair and their potatoes are super tasty. Seeing it’s in the area, I would definitely go back on a lazy weekend (we went in our pajamas).
There was a bit of a wait on a Saturday morning but I think that’s to be expected. Their omelets and scrambles are pretty good. Again… Those potatoes. Ahhhhh.
