Another Broken Egg Café officially opened its first Kansas location at 13386 Metcalf Avenue in Overland Park on Monday, January 20. The daytime cafe is open daily from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. serving an upscale breakfast, brunch and lunch menu specializing in award- winning, Southern-inspired menu options with innovative twists and signature cocktails.

Before its official opening, the new cafe hosted a “Friends & Family” weekend on Friday, January 17, and Saturday, January 18. Guests had the opportunity to preview the new restaurant and to also support two local charities, with 100 percent of all proceeds being donated. The first charity, National Kidney Foundation, is a lifeline for all people affected by kidney disease.

As pioneers of scientific research and innovation, National Kidney Foundation focuses on the whole patient through the lens of kidney health. The second charity that benefited from the preview events is the Shadow Buddies Foundation that provides emotional support through education regarding illness, disability or medical treatments. The foundation accomplishes its mission through the development of unique programs designed to enhance the lives of children in need.

“We’re excited to be able to give back to these incredible organizations as we launch our first restaurant opening in Overland Park,” says Britney Valas, franchisee Owner. “Both charities make a great impact in the Kansas City community and we’re thrilled that we could partner with them for our grand opening.” Each charity will receive a donation at a check presentation on Thursday, January 23rd prior to the official ribbon cutting at the restaurant. In total $747.00 was raised for the National Kidney Foundation and $3,317.00 was raise for the Shadow Buddies Foundation.

The Overland Park location marks the first location in the state of Kansas and the 69th Another Broken Egg Cafe now operating in 13 states.
