Austin Landing breakfast cafe sets opening date

The region’s first Another Broken Egg Cafe will open to the public on Monday, Nov. 10 at 3450 Rigby Road in the Austin Landing development.

The 3,457-square-foot breakfast, lunch and weekend brunch restaurant seats 120 inside and another 36 on a patio, and will employ 25 to 35, franchisee and area developer Mike Craddick of Centerville said.

Craddick — a restaurant industry veteran who also is the franchise owner of four Five Guys Burgers and Fries in the Dayton area — said his development agreement with Destin, Florida-based Another Broken Egg calls for him to open three more restaurants in the Dayton-Cincinnati area over the next three years.

The Austin Landing Another Broken Egg Cafe will be open 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily.

Another Broken Egg was founded in 1996 in Old Mandeville, La., and operates about 36 restaurants in a dozen states. The food menu has a New Orleans flavor with southern-themed dishes such as Bananas Foster and Biscuit Beignets, and also includes lunch offerings ranging from burgers to a Smoked Salmon BLT Wrap.

Unlike nearly every other breakfast-brunch chain, Another Broken Egg cafes have a full liquor license, allowing them to serve a bloody mary or mimosa or liqueur-and-coffee drinks to diners. The chain’s bars generally account for 3 percent to 8 percent of total sales, a spokeswoman for Another Broken Egg said.
