Another Broken Egg is a breakfast, brunch and lunch chain built around eggs — the name is not an accident. So the vegan question is a real one, and the answer is narrower than earlier versions of this guide suggested.
Answer: barely. Another Broken Egg publishes a full allergen chart with per-item dietary labels, and it labels exactly four things “Vegan and Gluten-Friendly”: fresh fruit, salsa, guacamole and the side of sliced tomatoes. Everything this guide previously recommended — the pancakes, the Belgian waffle, the huevos rancheros, the power bowl and the Southwest Chop Salad — is contradicted by that chart or no longer on the menu.
The Chart Is Unusually Good — Use It
Most breakfast chains publish nothing. Another Broken Egg publishes a nine-page nutritional and allergen chart (Summer 2026 edition, linked from its own menu page and FAQ, checked 28 July 2026). Every row carries three things worth reading: an allergen statement, a dietary consideration label, and a separate column headed “in addition to allergies this item has cross contamination potential for the following.”
That third column is the one nobody reads and everybody should. The Fresh Country Potatoes, for example, carry a cross-contamination note for fish and shellfish — the fryer is shared. So do the Biscuit Beignets. Nothing here is prepared in a segregated kitchen.
One more thing about the labels: the brand’s own wording is “Vegetarian/Locofoco Friendly” for most plant-forward items and “Vegan and Gluten-Friendly” for a much smaller set. Those two labels are not the same thing, and the difference is the whole article.
What Is Actually Labelled Vegan
Four items, and they are all small:
- Fresh Fruit (seasonal selections) — no declared allergens.
- Salsa — no declared allergens.
- Guacamole — no declared allergens.
- Sliced Tomatoes, side of — tomatoes on a bed of romaine, no declared allergens.
That is a plate of fruit, tomatoes, salsa and guacamole. It is not a meal, but it is the only part of the menu the brand itself vouches for.
Pancakes and Waffles Are Not Vegan
An earlier version of this guide listed pancakes and the Belgian Waffle under “Vegan Options at Another Broken Egg.” The chart is unambiguous. Buttermilk Pancakes declare egg, milk, soy and wheat. So do the Lemon Blueberry Goat Cheese, the Bourbon Street and every kids’ pancake. The Belgian Waffle declares egg, milk, soy and wheat. Both the waffle and the standard pancakes are labelled Vegetarian, not vegan.
The gluten-friendly pancakes are worth a specific mention because they are the ones people assume are the safe swap: they still declare milk and soy. Asking for gluten-friendly does not make them dairy-free.
Huevos Rancheros, the Power Bowl and the Chopped Salad
Huevos Rancheros is still on the menu and is still built on two eggs with cheese; every variant on the chart declares egg, and most declare milk. There is no version of it without eggs, and the previous suggestion here that a gluten- and dairy-free version amounts to “a vegan alternative” was wrong.
The Granola, Fruit and Quinoa Power Bowl, which this guide called a “holy bowl for all vegan diners,” is not on the Summer 2026 chart at all. It has been removed. It also would not have qualified: the granola in it was honey-roasted.
The Southwest Chop Salad is still there, and its allergen line declares egg, milk, soy and wheat, because it is dressed in chipotle ranch. Another Broken Egg’s own dietary note on it reads “Vegetarian/Locofoco Friendly if Turkey and Bacon are omitted” — the brand is telling you plainly that removing the meat gets you to vegetarian and no further.
The Mixed Green Salad is the better starting point, declaring only soy, but it comes with Honey Jalapeño Vinaigrette. Honey is not vegan and does not appear on any allergen chart, which is exactly why it is worth naming. Ask for the salad undressed.
The Sides, Item by Item
Grits declare milk and wheat — they are labelled Vegetarian, not vegan, and should come off any vegan list. Biscuit Beignets declare milk, soy and wheat and are served with honey marmalade. The biscuit declares milk. White toast and nine-grain toast declare only wheat and the English muffin declares only wheat, but all three are labelled Vegetarian rather than vegan, and no ingredient list is published, so the fats in the bread are an open question. The gluten-friendly toast declares no allergens but is labelled only Gluten-Friendly.
Fresh Country Potatoes declare wheat, carry the fish-and-shellfish cross-contamination note, and are labelled Vegetarian. They are the most substantial thing a vegan is likely to be offered here, and they are still not vegan-confirmed. The two specific unknowns are what they are cooked in and whether the fryer is shared — and the chart already answers the second one badly.
Drinks
The chart lists no allergens for coffee, decaf, cold brew, unsweetened and sweetened iced tea, raspberry iced tea, herbal tea, Simply Orange juice, Simply Cranberry Cocktail, Honest Kids apple juice, Minute Maid lemonade, the strawberry lemonade spritzer, Coke, Diet Coke, Coke Zero and Sprite. Cold Brew with Milk, the S’more Hot Chocolate and the S’more Cold Brew all declare milk.
Final Thoughts
Another Broken Egg deserves credit for publishing an allergen chart with dietary labels and per-item cross-contamination notes. Very few breakfast chains do. But what that chart shows is a menu built almost entirely on eggs and dairy, with four items the brand is willing to call vegan. If you go, the honest order is fruit, sliced tomatoes, guacamole and salsa, plus potatoes or toast if you accept the unknowns — and a conversation with the kitchen if you do not. For a chain that publishes per-item vegan tags across a much wider menu, the Cracker Barrel guide is the useful comparison.
