Another Broken Egg Café

Came here fro lunch with some friends from work. Everything came out hot and delicious!
I had the bella wrap. It was so good! The other 2 people had the green tomato BLT. They loved it as well.
everything was great. I can’t wait to go back! Great service as well!

The best breakfast I have had in New Orleans. I had the steak and eggs which are a bargain by the way for about $ 12 or so. Coffee and service were both greats. I will likely come by every morning for breakfast while I’m here.

We wanted to try the biscuit beignets as we have never had them and that is what everyone talks about. They were amazing! To die for! Came with honey orange marmalade — Delish!!! We decided to order breakfast drinks too, Bloody Mary and Bellini. We were pleasantly surprised on the freshness of the ingredients. Would go there again and again. As our waitress was okay the hostess was very helpful and delightful. She made the experience!!!

I cannot get enough of Another Broken Egg. I first came across this chain during my frequent travels to Destin, FL. As a huge breakfast/​brunch person I had to have it based on the name alone. I couldn’t compare it to anything else. When I moved here to New Orleans and I saw the chain had also moved here I was excited. I couldn’t wait to see what the local menu would include since most chains tweak their menus to add some local flare to it.
Immediately I noticed the biscuit beignets so that was the appetizer I chose for my first visit. Back then I had a few different omelettes and French toast on separate occasions. Most recently I’ve gone back and forth between the gluten free pancake and the potato sensation. I love the potato sensation because you pick which ingredients (3) that you want which add even more variety if you choose differently every visit. I’ve also enjoyed the mimosas and Bloody Mary’s quite a few times.
The service is always impeccable and the servers really have great personalities. One of the places I probably tip the most because they work so hard. I’ve never had to wait in line for this place either. Probably due to the fact they have just as much outdoor seating and they do indoor. With it being tucked in that courtyard I forget I’m on one of New Orleans’ busiest streets.

Lovely experience here at this café. Took a quick walk around the garden district taking in all of the beautiful flowers and homes and also stopped by La Fayette Cemetery before heading to brunch here at this cute café tucked away in the back corner with a lovely patio. The biscuit beignets are wonderful and paired perfectly with the honey marmalade. The table ordered the lobster and brie omelet (so good!), cinnamon roll french toast, Godiva coffee, and the BLAST. Everyone was thoroughly happy with their choices and the server was also really nice.

Flavorful Benedicts. Quick service at the table. But not from the bartender who never looked up from filling a vodka bottle when we tried to get coffee during our wait. Casual atmosphere

We’ve been back many times since our first review and I have to say we love it here, despite it being a chain restaurant. The mimosas are absolutely fantastic and they’re really quick when you just want a mimosa to-​go [shopping on magazine… god love Nola]. Eggs benedict, french toast, scrambles and hash, and the best bacon I’ve had in a long time. We probably wouldn’t eat here if we had to eat inside because the interior is so drab, but the courtyard on a pretty day is just the perfect spot for taking in some R&R. They’ve updated their wait system too so now they just text you when your table is ready which is *brilliant*. Huge portions of course, because ‘Merica, but so good to the last bite! Consistently great service as well, though sometimes the hosts make it clear that they hate their jobs. See ya’ll on Sunday!

Oh my. Goat cheese, lemon, blueberry pancakes were to die for. I highly recommend the sausage patty. A Bloody Mary is also a must. We sat at the bar to eat. Colin the bartender was awesome!

Went to two different restaurants for brunch on a Sunday morning and ended up at Another Broken Egg as a last resort bc the wait was so long at the other places. Knowing that it’s a chain, we had measured expectations. It was great!!!
The menu is pretty extensive, offering lots of substitutions for side dishes that made it really easy to order.
Our waiter was WONDERFUL. Really funny, friendly, super knowledgeable and helpful with the menu, and connected well with our whole party. One of the best waiters I’ve had in a long time. We loved our food (it was a bit rich, but we ordered rich).
Had the biscuit beignets with honey marmalade for an appetizer and they were good, not great. Interesting for sure, like a biscuit stuffed with dough. The honey marmalade was good, but use sparingly bc it’s so sweet!
I had the blueberry, goat cheese and lemon pancakes and they were to die for!!! My husband got the huevos rancheros, which were very average; came with way too many onions on the bottom mixed in with the beans. Grandma had the crab cakes benedict and loved them. My 6-​yr old got the bananas foster waffles and they were wonderful!
Over-​all, we had a great time! The food was generally better than we expected, but nothing out of this world. Very good. The service was awesome!!!

Wasn’t very impressed for my first time. My food looked absolutely delicious but was very bland! The side dish was seasoned to perfection though? I got the Lucy omelette and it says it’s the specialty but it tastes thrown together with no sort of love :(my waiter was nice! Beautiful location of course!

Got the traditional breakfast! Hit the mark for me with the kind of breakfast I wanted at the time. Is it the best scrambled eggs you will ever eat? Probably not but pretty good. Service was relaxed — not pushy. And the verandah seating is blissful!

Great atmosphere! So much fun. Great out door area
Me and 10 of my friends all loved it!
Great sausage. I highly recommend it. The portion sizes are perfect. A couple of my friends each ordered a different eggs Benedict each and then split them with each other! Great idea so you can taste more than one thing!
The staff was fantastic.
Stop in if you are near one.

Are you looking for a great place for breakfast and brunch? If so, you should try Another Broken Egg Café. Located on Magazine street, this restaurant is a cozy spot for you and your friends to have a great meal. I’m a shrimp and grits kind of girl, and this place does them well! I love their presentation, everything comes out in a thoughtful way. Their OJ is fresh, their mocha’s are rich, and their coffee is bold. I’ve also tried their steak and eggs, their eggs Benedict, and their city grits, and never have I been disappointed. They have indoor, outdoor, and bar seating. They’re puppy friendly, and I’ve seen them bring bacon and water in a dog bowl out to their furry friends when they visit, which speaks well for their commitment to service! Overall, you’re not going to be disappointed with Another Broken Egg Café, I just don’t think that’s possible.

So, my biggest gripe about this place is that it’s not a 5 minute walk from where I live in NY. My husband and I came here on a Thursday morning in October and basically had the place to ourselves for most of the meal. Our waiter was friendly and very attentive throughout the meal — we never had to wait more than a minute to have a refill of coffee. Without a doubt, you’ll get a dose of genuine NOLA hospitality that us annual visitors just love.
The food was spectacular, especially the grits and the bananas foster french toast — by far, on my top 5 list of best breakfasts ever! I dream about those amazing grits regularly — please open a satillete location in NY so you can teach NYERS to actually make grits correctly lol. Thanks again for a great meal — we hope to be back someday soon.

It’s not perfect, but in a city devoid without enough good brunch options this can be a worthwhile place to stop. The courtyard has ample seating and the restaurant is decent sized with generally good service and food. I’m not sure everything is being cooked from scratch in the back, but the flavors are good, prices aren’t bad, and you could do a lot worse for brunch. This location has been a bit of a black hole over the past few years but it looks like they’ve finally got a restaurant in here that’s a good fit. If you live nearby and want to bring your dog, there’s plenty of outdoor seating and our waiter even brought out a nice water bowl for the dog.
Yes, it’s a chain and no, it’s not perfect but they seem to do a decent job with the food and keep people moving which means they can do a lot of covers for weekend brunch and your wait likely won’t be too long. That’s pretty good in my book, I’m a fan.

Good lunch option if you want a healthy dish! Lots of tasty options and friendly customer service. Location is really good and the outdoor seating is amazing with the weather right now. Def coming back!

I am shocked and appalled. This restaurant, that started in Lafayette, LA uses FROZEN CHINESE crawfish tails. I parked by the dumpster this week and saw the boxes with my own eyes. Attaching picture.
Dang.

Pretty decent spot for Sunday Brunch.
Love the spot. Outside ambiance is amazing. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. We waiting a while to be seated, but that’s expected on a Sunday right? But once we were seated our waiter told us he wasn’t going to be able to get to us right away. Weird… I know.
Food was great despite one thing… THE GRITS.
Peach Bellini’s were awesome. Crabcake Cavallo was okay… the english muffin was kinda rubbery, but the crabcake made up for it. French toast and Bananas fosters pancakes were a hit. Didn’t leave a crumb on the plate. Omelettes were good I guess friends didn’t complain. No on to these grits.
3 out of 4 of us order the city grits. Combined we my have eaten three spoons each. They just didn’t measure up to the description given in the menu. Not creamy at all! the 4^th person ordered cheese grits which was a bowl of girts with a piece of cheese on the bottom. Thar’s the worst.
Overall our experience was enjoyable. But it doesn’t make my top 5 spots for brunch.

Contrary to what other reviewers have said, I really liked this place. I came here Halloween morning (yep, dressed in costume) for brunch.
The exterior is so nicely done – very peaceful and quaint. I honestly was not too impressed with the garden district in general, so I was pleasantly surprised with this find.
I ordered the smoked salmon benny and a mimosa. The mimosa came with a cute strawberry on top, and had the perfect ratio of champagne to OJ. The smoked salmon benny was incredible. I can’t even begin to describe how delicious it was. The poached eggs were cooked to perfection and leaked into the bagel just like it should.
We sat outside on the patio, and were served very quickly. It wasn’t too crowded and no one gave us weird looks about our costumes. I probably won’t be returning to the garden district anytime soon, but if I did, I would definitely come here again.

No no no, this place is just like an overpriced Denny’s on Magazine St. The real buzzkill was that my omelette wasn’t even made with real eggs. I can spot powder eggs from a mile away (I went to Jewish summer camp, who are y’all kidding?)
Waiters were friendly and it was fairly busy. Food came quick. Sat solo at the bar but didn’t get coffee or water refilled until my meal was over. Meh.
Blackberry grits! Needs some more sugar, but blackberry grits!!! Yummy. Miss those.
