Northeast Wichita will have to wait a bit longer for this new upscale brunch restaurant
Initially, the franchisees of Another Broken Egg Cafe thought they’d have their first Wichita restaurant open at 4862 E. 35th St. North by May or June.
But the sign has been up on the building all summer, and the restaurant still isn’t open.
It will be soon, though. Owners Jacob O’Connor and Jon Peterson — two friends who met growing up in St. Louis then both attended Wichita State University —say they have chosen Monday, Sept. 30 for their opening date.
Things have been “a little crazy,” Peterson said, and supply chain issues have kept them from getting everything they need to open. But they’re confident they’ll be ready to go at the end of the month.
Another Broken Egg Cafe, based in Orlando, is an upscale brunch restaurant that serves Louisiana-inspired breakfast and lunch dishes and has a large bar. The chain has nearly 100 restaurants across the country.
The Wichita restaurant will occupy 3,500 square feet of space on the north end of a new strip center at the District 96 Development. The restaurant will have seating for 142 as well as a large outdoor patio. Another Broken Egg is known for its brunch cocktails, and the front of the restaurant will have a pass-through window to serve people enjoying drinks on the front patio.
The restaurant will be open only from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily and will have a menu that features specialties like chicken and waffles, cinnamon roll french toast, shrimp and grits, and crab cake Benedict. It also will offer standard brunch favorites like biscuits and gravy and a biscuit sandwich.
The menu also will be filled with sweeter options like apple fritter french toast and a cookie dough waffle as well as lunch items including burgers, sandwiches and salads. It also will offer rotating seasonal dishes and will have a big gluten-free menu.
Peterson and O’Connor have rights to the Wichita market for the chain and may eventually open up to three Another Broken Egg Cafes in town, they said.
