Another Broken Egg Cafe

That was the best breakfast ever! I thoroughly enjoyed it. They had a gluten free menu, and my server was even gluten free. She was obviously completely knowledgeable. Everything was amazing. Get an omelette. Highly recommend.

I NEVER write negative reviews, but felt it was necessary to write one on this. I'm celiac and ordered a gluten free waffle. After the waffle was brought out to the table, took 1 bite and asked the waitress if she was sure it was gf because of the texture. She told me yes, then halfway through said waffle, 3 people come to the table to inform me it in fact was not gluten free. I paid $83 for our meals and started my family vacation getting glutened. It's safe to say my family will not be returning here, and I highly recommend anyone with Celiac to think twice.

Terrible service. I got super sick. They made the bread on the grill. I didn’t catch it in time. It was spread with butter. 😞

Terrible!!!!! Run if you are celiac. My son (celiac) ate there today(only thing he had eaten so far) and within two hours he was vomiting profusely with diarrhea. Awful stomach cramps. I wish I could do it over again and skip this place.

The staff was friendly but even the manager told me she had no idea what celiac disease was. They do have a “gluten free friendly” menu with a cross-contamination warning. When they explained their methods for preventing cross-contamination, I was satisfied (separate portion of griddle for gf pancakes, dedicated gf pan for eggs, cooks change gloves and clean everything) but it was a bit worrisome when they lead off with “we can’t promise you that you won’t get sick.” I appreciated the honesty though!

Great pancakes! Everyone in our group of 7 had great-tasting food. Gluten free dishes were delivered with special marking to know which was gluten free. Staff was knowledgeable and friendly.

I seek out ABE everywhere I go. Their food is Amazing and they have fluffy gluten free pancakes! They are very knowledgeable and helpful with ordering allergen free. And the city grits are so good!

Fantastic gf, df breakfast. The manager made my breakfast to ensure that both my allergens were taken care of. This restaurant even went the extra mile to “toast” my gluten free bread on a clean griddle. This is an upscale, pricey restaurant but is well worth it in order to have an allergy free, delicious breakfast. There is a McDonalds next door so just get your family member who is gf their breakfast to go. 😉

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Pancakes! They also have the usual egg offerings, but Pancakes!! Tell them if it’s your first visit (it was for us). My gluten eating boys were given beignets and I was given a mug to take home. Staff was great and answered all of my questions.

Has a gf friendly menu, all the pancakes can be made gf as well. They are very friendly about being gf and even told me that the potatoes are fried with other gluten stuff so they understand. I am not super sensitive tho so it’s okay for me.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Had a wonderful breakfast here. I am gf/df/corn free and got an omelet, toast, bacon, fruit and breakfast potatoes. The waitress was very helpful, answered questions and looked up ingredients. Highly recommend. They have gf pancakes if you don’t have to cut dairy.

We heard this place had a gluten friendly menu but were delighted to find they had many pancake options. I chose a flight of pancakes which was a trio of their different pancakes: lemon blueberry goat cheese, mixed berry and cream, and bananas foster. This trio came with eggs and meat as well. It was a feast for around $12! One of my kids got the GF pancakes off the kids menu(!) and they tasted so good to her she was sure she had been given gluten. A non-Celiac child ordered the same meal only not GF so she taste tested the 2 and said, “I was happy with my breakfast until I tasted your pancakes!!” She also thought they were excellent but tested them against someone else’s at the table to determine that the GF pancakes were actually GF! Delicious!! I had to fight people for a taste of my own food!! Of note, there was a marker on the GF pancakes to denote they were GF. And the servers and hosts were knowledgeable as well. Can we open one in our home town?

Staff was AMAZING!! Completely knowledgeable about gluten free, they have a ton of gluten free options! Honestly they have the best gluten free food, it tastes like normal food!

Several gf options, pancakes and omelette and more. They say "gluten friendly" but they are gf ingredients and staff are excellent about using clean equipment to cook when they know it's an allergy. (This is a chain, and every location so far I've been to is similarly good)

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I had the sunrise spinach omelet, substituted my English muffin for GF pancake, and upgraded my potatoes to fruit. The meal was good, they brought a individual container of syrup to avoid contamination, and my only complaint was that the pancakes seemed undercooked so the texture wasn’t what I was looking for.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food here was delicious! I haven't had made from scratch gluten "friendly" pancakes for 4 years! They call them gluten "friendly" and explain why on the menu. I had no problem...but do not have celiac. The gluten friendly menu has alot of choices and the food and service was amazing!

Awesome! Best GF Pancakes and menu I've seen!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Great gf pancakes & options! Waitress was knowledgeable as she eats gf herself. I had the pick 3 flavors option. Blueberries & gooat cheese, plain, & bananas foster. Comes with 2 eggs & bacon. (I skipped the eggs & had plenty to eat.)

Had wonderful GF Pancakes!!! They even had individual seal syrup to avoid cross contamination. Waitress asked if being gluten free was a preference or allergy so the chef could take precautions!!! The pancakes were amazing!!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We eat here every time we visit Orange Beach. The staff has always been very knowledgeable and helpful. I love the pancakes. They even will cook them with blueberries or with the Bananas Foster topping.

I had the GF pancakes with the peach topping minus the granola today. Food was excellent. The pancakes were light and fluffy and huge. I would highly recommend the place!!

No GF menu and very few GF options. Their only real option was a very thin flat $8 GF pancake and for your $8 that's all you got was that one pancake. I suggested bisquick pancake mix but they aren't allowed. Shame :(

Celiac friendly?

No

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Food was ok. Asked for unseasoned potatoes & they arrived with seasoning. They allow a sub gf pancake (2") for $.99 in place of an English muffin.

On my 2nd visit here, everything went wrong. After ordering, when the waitress brought out my food with other regular food (even though I'd so carefully explained how important it was to keep things separate) my husband and I left without eating, and without paying. it's too inconsistent for me ( a celiac) to ever go back here. I'd NOT recommend this place for fellow celiac's!

Celiac friendly?

No

Staff always alert the kitchen when we report celiac in our party. The kitchen always takes the necessary steps to prevent as much cross contamination as possible. The service here is almost always phenomenal.

The exception was my most recent trip, where our server lectured us that they could not guarantee that the food would be completely celiac -safe. This is the first time this has happened to us in all our time going here across multiple locations. The server seemed to speak as if she was not going to alert the kitchen. Luckily, she did, and otherwise our service was fantastic.

Ordered the GF Pancakes and they were amazing. Grits and eggs are good as well. The cook surface is shared, and I have celiac, but I risked it and did not feel sick. Chose to eat here twice during our trip. Would recommend!

Gluten free menu provided upon request. Pancakes were light and a little fluffy but the taste was nothing special. The taste came from the toppings.
