The award-winning brunch chain expands its West Coast footprint with exciting new locations.
- New brunch locations coming to San Diego
- Led by uncle-and-niece duo with rich industry experience

Another Broken Egg Cafe is preparing to bring its distinctive Southern-inspired breakfast, brunch, and lunch menu to San Diego with the addition of two new restaurants. The expansion is being led by franchisees Zeeshan Naqvi and Mahrouz Syed, who plan to introduce the concept’s elevated take on morning dining to a city already rich in culinary variety.
The restaurants will showcase dishes that have become synonymous with the brand, from Shrimp N’ Grits and Lobster and Brie Omelettes to classic Chicken and Waffles. The menu blends indulgent comfort food with creative flair, offering a balance of tradition and innovation that has fueled the chain’s steady growth across the United States. For Naqvi and Syed, the opportunity represents not just a business venture but also a chance to bring a new style of communal dining to San Diego, where brunch is already a cherished weekend ritual.
Chris Eby, Director of Franchise Sales at Another Broken Egg Cafe, said the company is excited to welcome the new operators into its system and sees strong potential in the Southern California market. “Zeeshan and Mahrouz bring a combination of passion, hospitality experience, and local insight that aligns with our vision for continued expansion,” he noted. His comments reflect the brand’s broader strategy of partnering with franchisees who are deeply committed to both customer service and community engagement.
Naqvi, an experienced operator with a strong background in hospitality, and Syed, who is developing her management expertise, plan to leverage their complementary skills to establish a welcoming destination for families and friends. Their approach emphasizes not only quality food but also the shared experience of dining, with an emphasis on creating memorable moments around the table.
As the brand grows, Another Broken Egg Cafe continues to attract franchisees who see opportunity in its ability to combine premium ingredients, inventive flavors, and a relaxed dining atmosphere. For San Diego residents, the arrival of the cafe signals a new chapter in the city’s brunch culture—one that blends Southern warmth with West Coast energy.
