Buy an Another Broken Egg Cafe Franchise

Another Broken Egg Cafe is a Southern-inspired breakfast, brunch, and lunch restaurant franchise that opened its first location in 1996 in Old Mandeville, Louisiana. The concept draws guests with a chef-inspired menu of fresh, upscale dishes, from Shrimp ‘N Grits and Lobster & Brie Omelette to signature brunch cocktails and hand-crafted mimosas, served in a casual-elegant daytime cafe setting.

The brand operates as a daytime-only, single-shift concept, typically closing at 2pm each day. All locations serve a full bar, creating a revenue mix that spans food, alcohol, catering, and third-party delivery. Recipes use turnkey culinary systems designed to be executed without a professional chef, making the model accessible to operators with hospitality management rather than culinary backgrounds.

Another Broken Egg Cafe is backed by The Beekman Group, a New York-based private equity firm that recapitalized the company in October 2017. The system is predominantly multi-unit, with the majority of franchisees operating more than one cafe. The brand has grown to more than 100 locations across 17 states.

Why buy an Another Broken Egg Cafe Franchise?

To buy an Another Broken Egg Cafe franchise is to enter the breakfast and brunch segment with a brand that has built a consistent culinary identity since 1996. The chef-inspired menu, full-bar service at all locations, and daytime-only format attract an affluent, loyalty-driven customer base with strong repeat visit frequency.

The single-shift model simplifies staffing relative to full-day restaurant concepts and typically produces lower employee turnover. Alcohol sales (including branded bloody marys, mimosas, and seasonal cocktails) contribute higher-margin revenue alongside food. Catering and third-party delivery extend revenue beyond the dining room without additional physical space. The multi-unit ownership culture within the system, where the majority of franchisees operate more than one location, reflects a model suited to operators with growth ambitions.
