Another Broken Egg Cafe, Durham

Hatched from a simple creole cottage in Mandeville, Louisiana, in 1996, Another Broken Egg has expanded to more than 20 locations in the south and California. The homey eatery flaunts more than 130 menu items that spotlight southern and creole twists on breakfast classics such as omelets, scrambles, pancakes, and benedicts. The Hey Ricky omelet, a Spanish-inspired creation filled with chorizo, avocado, green chilies, and housemade salsa, even caught the journalistic eye of the Dallas Observer, who named it Best Omelet in 2009. Another Broken Egg’s French country charm welcomes locals, tourists, and off-the-clock roosters from 7 a.m. until 2 p.m. daily.
