Great spot for Breakfast. Friendly staff and the food is amazing. We tried the strawberry cheesecake pancakes, Oreo pancakes and the cinnamon roll pancakes. They were worth it. read more

3 strikes and you're out! I went when they first opened and it was a bit rough with service and quality of food. Dined two more times to give them additional chances because the restaurant is walkable from my house. I was underwhelmed both times. Ambiance is nice, but too many other excellent options to spend my money here. read more

I like the Breakfast Republic and am a fan since they first opened up in North Park, but this one had me swing both ways: I was a fan, it was okay, I was a fan, It was okay. In the end, I settled with a three star review. I stopped in for breakfast of course and ordered the Chicken Mango Sausage scramble that oddly enough also came with ham, bacon, cheddar cheese, and onions, not that I am complaining or anything. The scramble was well made. I like the eggs had a buttery fluffy consistency and were well seasoned. It was a smaller portion than I imagine, but it did come with a good amount of tasty chicken sausage with a subtle mango flavor, diced savory ham, crispy bacon, and some melted cheddar. I order rye toast with the scramble but unfortunately the toast arrived on the colder side and it was only one slice cut in half. That gave me a sad face. The preserve that came with the toast was very good and I liked that they served soft butter with the toast. The scramble came with a side of potatoes which light in flavor and a little unevenly cooked. Some were tender to the touch and others need more cooking time. I ate at the bar and service was pretty good there, even though it took them a while to realize I did not have place setting after my meal arrived. Perhaps that's why my toast went cold. Anyways, It's important to pay attention to details with not only the food prep, but also things like keeping the menus cleaned. They "should" be wiped daily because mine, well it was a little slimy and dotted with food pieces and stains here and there. Hence the three stars. read more

Breakfast Republic is serving up gourmet breakfast plates with big flavor, which comes with a high price. So many of the new trendy breakfast spots are serving great breakfast plates but at a price range that is hard to swallow. $18 for 1 breakfast plate and coffee is hard to accept, but what do I know this place is always crowded. The food itself is delicious and I have zero complaints about the staff as they are always friendly and attentive. As long as you know and are ok will the prices then this place won't disappoint. There is the saying, You get what you pay for. Maybe it was created for Breakfast Republic! read more

Very good eggs Benedict. I had the mushroom and pesto. I asked for Brussels sprouts and they were also good. I do wish they had a few items that could bridge between breakfast and lunch. The pancakes that my friends ordered were just different toppings on regular pancakes. Seems like they want to sell breakfast cocktails rather than food. read more

Very good food and the servers were very helpful and nice. Everything seemed very clean and well organized.

Super great breakfast, eggs, pancakes. Service is fast and Brooke went above and beyond to make our day!

I'd say this is not my favorite breakfast republic location. The service was quick and it was not busy, so that's great, but the food was not really seasoned. I like a lot of flavor in my dishes. The eggs were cooked perfectly, but just not seasoned. The potatoes were fluffy and good but they were also plain. Everything could have used a little salt, or some sausage gravy. The dishes looked beautiful though. Definitely picture worthy. The side of bacon was good though and the hollandaise sauce was on point. read more

Nice breakfast joint, used to be a Firefly/tapas bar...came here for breakfast for the first time. Crowded for a Friday at 10, so we sat at the bar/counter. Great diverse menu for breakfast, assortment from omelettes, scrambles, Benedict's, French toast, unique dishes from breakfast Mac n cheese, breakfast hot dogs (with bacon), shrimp n grits, turkey meatloaf hash, breakfast jambalaya- great variety of flavors. Veggie tostada has black beans, egg, fresh pico and avocado- was good. Hubby had std breakfast of scrambled eggs, potatoes and toast. House ketchup and hot sauces in bottles, minus 1 Star for gross white mold or yeast growing in our bottle of hot sauce -and the slower service to get our check, we are at the bar counter for goodness sake. Parking lot to these stores, Restaurants and bank is very crowded, so beware. read more

Breakfast Republic is rapidly expanding and spread its roots all the way to north county. I've heard good things bout BR and i wanted to see whats the hype is all about. I went to Encinitas location on Thursday morning and i wouldn't say the place was packed but many tables were taken. Do pple work in this city?! I wanna know their financial secret :) The decor of the place is fresh and modern. Yes there is a plant wall, i think every restaurant nowadays got one :) Its very "IN" right now I ordered a veggie scramble based on my server recommendations. The food came out extremely fast! The plate was LONG and had my scrambled eggs with potatoes, side of toast with jam. Everything looked visually appealing except potatoes. They looked very much deep fried and previously frozen. I feel like this is a poor short cut the restaurant takes. Potatoes should be fresh and sauteed with herbs or onions/garlic. My eggs with veggies were bland. There was NO zing in the dish, like pesto or sun-dried tomatoes. Something to make the dish to be more flavorful or with some kick. I mean broccoli and spinach are not the most flavor-packed veggies out there so you gotta put extra ingredients to make the dish pop. Coffee was good and my server made sure to keep my cup always full. Service was quick and attentive (however, the hostess i think was still half-asleep). I'll definitely give this place another go, i enjoyed the ambiance just not so much the food. read more

Breakfast Republic - Veggie scramble - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Encinitas, California

I've struggled with the rating and even slept on this review. Because of the redemption, I think 4 is fair. My husband and I were in the area running errands when I asked him if he was in the mood for breakfast. I noticed a lot of the spots I had bookmarked was all right down the street. I told him how Breakfast Republic had a small vegan section and I thought it was worth trying out. We walked up and was told the wait would be 30-45min so we opted for take out instead. I ordered the Veggies + Pesto Frittata and he ordered the Vegan Breakfast Burrito and orange juice. We pulled up to another store on our "to-do's" list and pulled out the food to eat. I take a couple of bites of my food and was really enjoying the flavors. My husband goes to give me a bite of his breakfast burrito and I look at it as I hand it back to him and notice this brown piece of meat with a smoky flavor. I pull it out and inspected the shit out of it. I pulled it apart, smelled it and said to him "I think this is real bacon". I called and spoke with one of the members at BR and I told them that I think they mixed our food up and we were given a breakfast burrito with real meat in it. I told them that the box was labeled "Vegan Burrito" but I don't think it is. They then tell me that their Vegan bacon looks real.... For someone who has been Vegan for going on 4 years, I have never in my 4 years seen Vegan bacon look like real bacon. Anyway, they put me on hold and put Tiffany, who I am assuming is the Mgr, on the phone. I explain to Tiffany what we ordered and Tiffany starts asking me questions about it, what's in it, what's on top and then asks me "is there cheese on your rice and beans?"..rice and beans? There was a side of potatoes (super bland by the way). Tiffany then asks if we are still in the area because she wants us to give the right food. Thankfully, we were. Now, typically I won't go back to a place that messes up my food but the total wasn't cheap and we were right down the street. I ask my husband to go out and get the food because I was H O T at that point. Tiffany comes out and begins to apologize and says that they hired a bunch of young folks who aren't experienced. Apparently the food checker didn't catch and whole ass burrito with animal meat in a box labeled "Vegan". We were also comped half of our meal for the next visit. I know mistakes happen and that is the risk we take for eating at a non vegan place. It is just frustrating when you order something that is vegan, because they offer it, you pay for it and it's not what it is. At the end of the day it is a dietary preference based on my morals and values and the most I'd get is a stomach ache and probably cry it out. Thankfully, it's not a life threatening allergy. All that said, I appreciate the way Tiffany owned and handled this situation and can only hope that that this was a learning experience for the team and they will be more diligent going forward. read more

3.5 stars for this cute little breakfast/brunch place! Came here on a Saturday around 11/12noon and only had to wait about 15 minutes. They are kind enough to have free coffee samples in the front for guests who are waiting! This place is really cutely decorated and the workers were nice but honestly, they were pretty slow. It took us around 30 minutes after we ordered to get our food & they hadn't even given us utensils until we had to flag them down AFTER we got our food. We ordered: -Shrimp & Ricotta Frittata: Really good but i honestly liked the side of house potatoes that comes with it more than the actual frittata which was a little bland, nothing that a little salt & pepper could n't fix though -Steak & Eggs: This came with a SMALL portion of chimichurri spread steak (ordered medium rare & it was okay, a bit bland), hash browns, & eggs cooked any style. We chose eggs over hard but they came out over easy- oh well, eggs are eggs & they were not bad Overall, a little pricey but not surprising for a fancyish brunch place, glad to have tried it but definitely nothing that stands out read more

I love that they have Vegan eggs! The bloody mary's are fab also. I wish they had more scramble options for vegan but I'm sure you can order any version that you'd like. Always busy; staff is nice and very clean. read more

We had over an hour wait to be seated and that could be understandable if the food or service was wait worthy, the service was not good our order was brought out piece meal one meal being forgotten then several items from the other means were not served so we had to repeatedly ask for them. the food was not hot and not very good. My coo worker had the eggs Benedict and she said the sauce was very bland. I had a mushroom omelet that the mushrooms were tough and there was little cheddar cheese. the fruit portion was hard and dried out. I normally write positive reviews but this experience was overall nothing good. read more

We checked in and waited about 20 min which wasn't bad as it was very busy we expected a longer wait. Jose was our server and he was very funny and helpful with the menu. We did have an issue with the food being cold twice. As we were a little frustrated he called over a lady Melinda I believe was here name, she was a doll!! She fixed the issue and gave us a discount and really just changed the way we were starting to feel. Great attitudes on these two we will be back!!! read more

Been here twice and fist time I got a pancake sampler or flight and I enjoyed it very much. Specially the bacon one!! Bloody Mary's were also amazing. This time I got the bean tostadas because I wasn't that hungry and it didn't like them, couldn't finish them. Beans tasted like can and the pico was like pase. OJ is the best and my husband got the mashed potato omelette which was also great. read more

I previously had brunch at the PB location and while it was "good" it didn't live up to the hype. However the Encinitas location totally blew me away. I had the steak and eggs with a side of banana french toast and it was amazing. Possibly one of the best breakfasts I've ever had. Believe the hype when it comes to this location. The chef is on his game and the staff is awesome too. read more

I'm glad I waited until my second time coming to write a review. The first time I came I got a frittata which was forgettable, very bland. This time, I got the French toast sampler and turkey meatball hash. Both were extremely delicious! The turkey meatball hash had pesto and potatoes and the meatballs were so yummy. The French toast sampler we got had the smores, lemon coconut and banana split. Our favorite was the smores followed by banana split followed by coconut lemon, you couldn't really taste the lemon. I will definitely be back for the meatball hash! read more

This place has really good food, service, and variety. My friend and I came here around 11am on a Saturday aka peak brunch time. There was absolutely no parking available in the lot, so I parallel parked a block into the residential area where there was plenty of parking. It was about a 45 min wait until we were seated, which was expected. Our waitress was very nice and helped us with our orders. It took another 45 mins to receive our food, which seemed a bit excessive. I got a decaf latte and the veggie scramble, which came with a side of house potatoes and an English muffin. Our waitress also brought me some butter and their homemade jam to eat with the muffin. The scramble was delicious and reasonably priced at only $10 for a huge plate of food. This location is kind of far from me, but there are several other locations in SD to visit. I'll definitely be back in the future, but not at 11am on a Saturday! read more

Every. Single. Time. This place has been a disappointment. The service is always slow. Why does it take more than 30 minutes to be served breakfast? The 2 times we had been here before, that was the average wait time after we ordered our food. Today, on Mother's Day, was beyond bad. We were told the wait would be 30 minutes, but we ended up waiting an hour. It was only after we became vocal that we were seated. The hostess told us that the kitchen was backed up by 20 orders due to DoorDash orders. With many open tables in the dining room, I can't believe DoorDash orders were being prioritized over people who had been waiting far too long. When we finally sat down, we immediately ordered because some of our party needed to leave to catch a flight. Based on the initial 30-minute wait time we were given, we thought we had plenty of time for breakfast. We were wrong. after 2 hours since putting our name on the wait list, we still hadn't received our food. My daughter and her fiancé had to leave to catch their Uber to the airport, so they didn't get to eat! When food finally came to the table, orders were wrong and the food was less than mediocre. So disappointing. Well that's it we will never come back and I know others who have had the same experience. I hope they get it together here. read more

As always this is my OP. First time here and won't be the last! We had a party of 14 and Jeff, whom became our, go to person, for anything we needed, was amazingly awesome to our group! Thank You Jeff! Our food came out hot and fresh.... the cheese grits was a blast from my past of Ga. Be prepared to wait-but not long, for anything less than 30 mins is worth the wait here. All the staff was extremely, nice and friendly! They open at 7 and closes at 3, but plenty of time to eat your breakfast! Johan and team got a good one here! read more

Well, what can I say the food is a little better than Denny's and the service depends on the day for good or bad service. Weekends tend to get overcrowded with some lengthy waits. I had the Eggs Benedict. Read the menu carefully because they put some kind of green pesto sauce on top. If you don't tell him you don't want it , it may ruined the dish. I had to send it back. The ambiance is OK. I did note that it's very loud in there because of the ceiling, height, and all the chatter from the people in the restaurant. read more

I have lived in the area for 5 years and kept meaning to try this place out. I finally did today and I wanted to give this place a 5 star. The place is adorable, the menu is great, and the food was good. The prices and portions seemed really good. Until you are surprised with a surcharge. Just raise your prices. Surcharges are extremely annoying and it comes out of your servers tip. But the main reason for the 4 rather than a 5, was the service. First, the restaurant was only half full, yet there was a 20 minute wait. That starts everything off with frustration. The employees were all very nice. But the service was very slow. I will try it again. Hopefully the service was just off today. read more

We arrived and there was about a 30-45 minute wait. We gave the hostess our name and waited outside as there was nowhere to wait inside. Time went by and other parties were getting seated. After a while, the hostess comes out and said "last call for John, party of 4". Umm, that was the 1st time I saw her call for "John, party of 4". If you know that there are parties waiting outside of the restaurant, then it should be your responsibility to go outside and say "John, party of 4". Nobody outside can you hear from the inside calling "John, party of 4", if the door is closed. Once we were seated, it took about another 10 minutes for our waitress came to our table to take drink orders. We ordered the usual: coffee all around, some Prosecco Mimosas, a Jurassic bloody Mary, and a specialty latte. The alcoholic drinks came out but not our coffee. I reminded the waitress about our coffees. Next, the waitress took our order. I ordered the Portuguese Linguica sausage scramble (with hot sauce, green bell peppers, garlic, tomatoes, thyme, and oregano). Time passed by (probably about 30 minutes) and our orders came out, but the coffee still had not come out. Once again, I reminded the waitress about our coffees. By the time our coffees arrived, I was halfway done with my dish. Once my husband tried his specialty latte, he found the taste rather weird so he asked for a regular coffee instead. End result: the waitress never brought out the coffee for him. Food wise, the scramble was delicious. Everything was perfectly seasoned and the ingredients all complimented each other well. Portion size was huge. When we received the check, we had informed the waitress that my husband's coffee never arrived. She apologized and told him that she would bring a coffee for him to go on the house. However, when we checked our to-go bag, we noticed she had given us a piece of cake instead? Umm, okay. The food was great but the service was lackluster. If in the area again, I may just skip this place next time. read more

Not as good as I'd hoped. The food was flavorless and the drinks were extremely sweet. Service was friendly, food is made to order quickly after the long wait. Prices in portions are fair, taste wise it was more salty than anything else. Not worth returning. read more

Charged for food not received, refusing to refund Ordered online the other day and when I went to pick up, they were closed due to a power outage. That's fine, not their fault. Tried to refund through DoorDash, was told I needed to contact the restaurant. Called them the next day to request a refund and they said they have no way to do that and that I would need to contact DoorDash. That's false, I work for a restaurant that uses DoorDash, and there's a tab within the restaurant portal to issue refunds. Told them this, they wouldn't do anything about it. Terrible service. read more
