More bacon and eggs on our plate with the arrival of Another Broken Egg Cafe, which has opened in Dallas' Preston Hollow Village, at 7825 Firewall Way #180, in the former Midici Neapolitan Pizza, which sadly closed in 2020 during the pandemic.

Another Broken Egg is a Louisiana-based chain known for its Southern-inspired menu with innovative twists and cocktails, seen in dishes such as peach cobbler pancakes, bananas Foster Belgian waffles, black bean Benedict, and biscuits & gravy.

Lunch includes salads, burgers, and sandwiches, and there's a special menu for brunch. A full bar is open from 7 am to 2 pm, with bellinis, orange and cranberry mimosas, and specialty cocktails such as the spiked Nutella iced latte.

Core menu items include shrimp & grits, chicken & waffles, lobster and Brie omelet, huevos rancheros, and chicken sandwich, plus a kids menu featuring Chocolate Chip Pancakes with whipped cream and chocolate syrup.

According to a release, the new location features an enticing and modernized environment, although the greater lure is likely to be that full bar with mimosas and bloody marys.

It's the third Another Broken Egg Cafe for Houston-based restaurant group Legend Daytime Hospitality Inc., who operate the two other DFW-area cafes in Southlake and The Colony.

The chain has seen some ebb and flow around DFW, with locations that opened on Greenville Avenue, in Casa Linda, and in Addison that closed during the pandemic. Breakfast has become a competitive place with lots of breakfast-and-lunch concepts including Yolk, First Watch, and Snooze an AM Eatery.

“It was an easy decision to open Another Broken Egg Cafe in Dallas,” says Muhammad Hanif of Legend Daytime Hospitality Inc. “My team and I are thrilled to introduce a new destination where patrons can savor a diverse selection of breakfast staples, memorable brunch dishes and creative lunchtime favorites, all crafted with fresh ingredients and innovative recipes.”

This is the brand’s 95th location nationwide, and 12th in the state of Texas, including Houston, Austin, College Sation, and El Paso.

Urban grocery market will join scene in historic downtown Carrollton

Street Corner Urban Market

A new grocery store brand is making its Texas debut in Carrollton: Called Street Corner Urban Market, it's a small chain from Kansas that will go into a former vintage store at 1105 South Broadway St., across from the historic downtown square, with an opening slated for spring 2026.

The Street Corner brand is headquartered in Topeka, and comprises several concepts, from express kiosks to gas station companions. The urban market concept has 47 locations across the United States as of early 2025, in cities such as Fresno, California and Rochester, New York.

Carrollton will be a 2,500 square-foot store — bigger than a convenience store but smaller than a large-scale grocery store.

Bringing the concept to Carrollton is franchisee Leon Smith, a longtime downtown Carrollton resident looking to fill a gap in the neighborhood's retail lineup.

“I've lived in the downtown Carrollton area probably for about seven, eight years,” Smith says. “I've always noticed the need for some type of grocery chain down here. There's just nothing down here for the residents — nowhere for them to go grab something quick.”

The historic downtown area nearly has it all: family housing, four luxury apartment complexes, a townhome development in the works, a DART station, dining, parks, entertainment, and locally-owned retail and beauty services.

The missing link: a place to grab groceries, beer & wine, flowers, produce, and ready-to-eat meals without hopping on a train or driving.

Smith, an HR professional at Baylor Scott & White venturing into franchising, says the Street Corner Market shopping experience is reminiscent of Trader Joe’s, including stocking many of the same vendors, but on a smaller scale.

Catering to the community is a priority, and they'll be open to product recommendations so that the store’s offerings reflect residents’ needs.

“It's not cookie cutter ‘this is the only way that it’s going to go,’” Smith says. “I'm here to try to make it welcoming for everybody that's around here. I'm a part of this community, so this is important to me, because I know the need for it.”
