Another Broken Egg Cafe, a popular breakfast and brunch destination in Raleigh's North Hills area in North Carolina, and maintaining a 4.1-star rating from over 1,500 Google reviews, received a B grade following an October 25 health inspection.

State records showed that the North Carolina Department of Environmental Health awarded the Wake County establishment a score of 81.50 after identifying 14 violations, including seven critical infractions. While the restaurant remained open, immediate corrections were required to maintain proper food safety standards.

The most notable violations at Another Broken Egg Cafe included unsuitable handwashing procedures, inadequate food protection, and issues with sanitizing equipment. The restaurant's dish machine was found to be operating below the required temperature, leading to incorrectly cleaned dishes.
