Another Broken Egg Cafe — Restaurant in Baton Rouge

We stopped at Another Broken Egg around 8:25AM on 3/18/2024 on our way home (Beaumont) after spending a week in Baton Rouge for a racquetball tournament. We were promptly seated and a nice young lady by the name of Sherron (love that spelling) came to take our drink and food orders. She was quite fast in bringing our coffee and hot chocolate back, but my coffee was less than lukewarm. Sherron continued helping customers, she was working the tables as well as handling request at the bar. I did not want to bother her so as soon as she came and brought our food, I mentioned to her that I my coffee is nowhere near hot and if she would be so kind as to get me another cup. She came back to our table within minutes and my coffee was perfect. She then quickly delivered our food. The food looked amazing and taste even better. Here’s the thing, (and I will admit it may be very small to the readers but extremely big to me). I failed to get the cooks name…but man oh man was I thrilled he got my eggs right!!!! I have been to soooo many restaurants and have found it quite disturbing that no one can seem to get an egg right. So much so that I quit even ordering eggs when I go to a restaurant. They are never done and the yolk of the egg looks a pale dull yellow instead of a bright yellow. Thank you, Sherron, for listening to how I wanted my egg prepared (or by the way it is just an overhard egg/fried egg, trust me nothing I feel like is too complicated), and thank you Mr. Cook (not his last name is is the chef/cook) for making my day brighter. Our breakfast was delicious, served hot and fresh, the portion size was amazing, and the presentation of the food was spectacular. Thank you Another Broken Egg and staff for making our visit a pleasant one. My husband ordered the smores waffles with sausage (oh my goodness that was to die for), with a cup of hot chocolate, and I ordered the cinnamon roll French toast with baked bacon and a cup of coffee. I was quite hungry so failed to take pictures until I had already dug in, but food...

I have to say, giving this place two stars feels like being overly generous. I was drawn to order takeout after seeing their online menu, which looked absolutely fantastic. However, my excitement quickly turned to disappointment when I returned to my hotel—a mere three-minute drive away—to unpack my containers of what was supposed to be delicious food.

First off, the biscuits were stale to the point of being inedible. I had high hopes, but they were dry and crumbly, lacking any freshness. Then, the chicken tenders I ordered were bizarrely unrecognizable. They appeared more like small chicken legs than the crispy tenders I expected. As for the beignets I thought I was ordering, what I received instead were simply fried dough balls, lacking the fluffy texture and powdered sugar coating that makes beignets so delightful, and unique.

To make matters worse, I decided to treat myself to a salted caramel cold brew coffee. Unfortunately, it arrived looking like thick tar and had a taste that was utterly unidentifiable and off-putting. It's frustrating because the company’s website features a mouthwatering image of their biscuit sandwich, which shows a slim patty that looks like sausage under a perfectly fried egg. Little did I know that what I was actually getting instead was yet more chicken tenders. Honestly, how many people actually stop to read the descriptions when they’re traveling? This feels like a clear case of false advertising.

In summary, if you’re looking to experience food that will leave you cringing in disappointment, then this is definitely the...
