Another Broken Egg Cafe in Wichita is the kind of place where “let’s grab breakfast” quietly turns into a full-blown brunch situation, coffee refills, cocktails, and one more shared plate you definitely didn’t plan on ordering.
This southern-inspired, upscale brunch cafe sits just north of Wichita State and leans into big, comforting plates, mimosas, and a bright, modern dining room that feels more like a brunch destination than a quick diner stop. ☕️🥂
Why Wichita Keeps Choosing This Polished North-Side Cafe Over Every Other Brunch Spot In Town
The Wichita location of Another Broken Egg Cafe sits just off KS-96 at 35th Street North, in that sweet spot where students, families, and office folks all collide at brunch.
Part of a southern-inspired breakfast and brunch brand, this cafe leans into “chef-inspired breakfast, brunch, and lunch,” loaded omelets, over-the-top benedicts, brioche French toast, and shrimp & grits that feel like they flew in from Louisiana.
On top of the food, there’s a full bar: mimosas by the glass or pitcher, spiked cold brews, Bloody Marys, and brunch-ready cocktails, which is why locals tag this spot as a true brunch destination rather than just a breakfast joint, as noted in local Wichita coverage that calls it an “upscale brunch restaurant” with a front patio perfect for lingering.
Another Broken Egg isn’t trying to be the cheapest eggs-and-bacon plate in town. It’s trying to be your “treat yourself” brunch spot with cocktails and Southern comfort on one table, leaning heavily into the experience angle with a full bar, craft cocktails, and seasonal specials that make it an easy choice for birthdays, grad celebrations, and “we survived the week” brunches.
The Wichita outpost has a local twist too: it’s owned and operated by Wichita State grads, with the cafe sitting just two miles north of WSU, which helps explain the steady stream of college-adjacent brunch traffic.
Whether you walk out raving or nitpicking usually comes down to whether you were in the mood for big, slightly bougie brunch plates and cocktails. If you were, this place checks a lot of boxes.
Food Highlights
- Lobster & Brie Omelette: The show-off brunch order for anyone who wants their morning meal to feel like a special occasion, this Lobster & Brie Omelette stuffs tender lobster and creamy brie into a folded omelette finished with a light, buttery sauce and served with potatoes and bread on the side — indulgent enough to justify every penny of a slightly higher tab.
- Cinnamon Roll French Toast & Sweet Specials: Thick slices of Cinnamon Roll French Toast drenched in custard and buried under icing sit alongside seasonal hits like pumpkin waffles and tiramisu French toast, the kind of dessert-leaning plates you order “for the table” even after you’ve already committed to something savory.
- Gouda Grits & Louisiana-Style Plates: One Wichita diner said “them gouda grits were amazing” before admitting they needed a long nap afterward, and it’s easy to see why — these Southern comfort plates, which include Louisiana gumbo, brunch jambalaya, and shrimp-and-grits-style dishes, are the ones that make the whole “you don’t have to fly south for this” argument land. 🦐
- Shrimp & Grits / Creole-Style Plates: Creamy grits, spicy sauce, and plenty of richness come together in shrimp & grits and Creole-inspired dishes that local write-ups flag as the plates that make you forget you’re in Kansas for a second and not a Gulf Coast brunch town. 🦐
- Pancakes: The pancake stacks here aren’t an afterthought, arriving thick, fluffy, and loaded with fruit, whipped cream, or syrup-heavy toppings that make the dessert-for-breakfast crowd feel like they made the right call, and reviewers consistently point to these sweet plates as the move when you want something indulgent without committing to the savory side of the menu.
- Brunch Cocktails & Spiked Cold Brew: Mimosas in flights or pitchers, spiked cold brews, and Bloody Marys make up a full bar program that local coverage points out is built exactly for anyone whose idea of brunch involves a drink in hand from the moment they sit down. 🥂
