Food was delicious! Shame we were outside so it got cold pretty quickly - that's on us ! Jose was terrific with service , recommendations and politely kept bringing the bottles of Bubbles and juice . We had the crab Benedict and the Turkey hash - both with egg whites only . Not a breakfast eater but was determined to try this location - def will come back ! read more

Jose at the Encinitas CA location was amazing with his customer service. We had a large group on a Sunday morning. The room they typically use for large groups already had one party in there and it was very loud. He made an exception and put tables together in the main area to accommodate us. Our server that day was also very good as was the food. Thank you again for making our experience great. read more

I've always loved Breakfast Republic and have made it out to multiple locations! so cool to see that this location has added a private dining room off to the side of their normal dining area. It looks to have 3 tables that can fit a decently large group of a least 7 people probably more depending on how close you want to sit in the booths! Will keep in mind for the next time I want to host a brunch event. Food here was delicious as usual: my normal order at Breakfast Republic is one of their Bennie's or breakfast mac and cheese. loved all their pancakes and French toast here too! Definitely satisfied my sweet tooth! Our server Chris was also super attentive and made sure our table had everything we needed! read more

Oh I hope this is the correct location! Visited on a rainy Saturday while in La Jolla. Grant was our server and he was excellent. It looked like they had 1 host, 1 manager, 1 server, 1 busser, and 1 food runner. All the staff were very kind. Although grant was very busy he took his time with us and answered all of our questions. Thank you Grant! The vegan burrito was excellent. The portions are huge! I wanted to try the vegan tres leches pancakes but I knew I wouldn't have room. I should've asked to sub the beans and rice for a pancake. Don't get me wrong, they are good! It's a cozy restaurant for sure. Single bathroom. Small parking lot. read more

The service here was great. They were very attentive and helpful and anticipated our needs with 3 children. The food was good and the atmosphere was fun. My coffee alone is 5 stars but then my gluten free protein pancakes were so good! They were topped with chia pudding which is very creative and turned out to be yummy! I would return! read more

Good breakfast/brunch spot! It's obvious that it's popular because it was busy on a Wednesday morning. Enjoyed the theme and branded items such as the drinking glasses. Food was good but nothing special. Service was okay. read more

We come here for a breakfast date occasionally and it's always so good. The service has always been very efficient and our servers have been friendly and helpful. The decor inside is very well done and it brings the strip mall location to life. We also love the swag shelves and always end up leaving with something cute. But the star of the show is the food. I get the crab cake Benedict every time because I'm a creature of habit and why would I stray from perfection?!! So delicious and the spicy jam is such a unique addition. My husband usually tries something different each time and has enjoyed them all. I'll add the immune boost when I'm run down and it works its magic. Mimosas are great and the hot chocolate is a yummy treat for the kids. read more

Food and service and ambiance was not worth it. It was a very big disappointment Probably will not go back read more

Husband & I came in around 10:30 am & were seated immediately. Sat inside. Its slightly loud due to cement floor & hard surfaces, but there is an option to sit outside. began with the big boozy brew shots. So delish! I think id come back again just for this. espresso vodka, espresso shot & irish cream topped with whipped cream. I ordered the shrimp & grits & a spicy bloody mary. Perfect together. The shrimp & grits were so so so good! the grits were creamy and the gouda cheese gave a wonderful flavor. Shrimp was perfectly cooked and there were plenty of them. The spicy bloody mary is spicy for sure so be aware, but for me, its the best bloody mary around!!! My husband had the grilled turkey sandwich. Unfortunately this was a bust. The sourdough bread was totally soggy & falling apart. Could not be picked up to be eaten, had to use a knife & fork. The turkey slices were large but lacked flavor. The bacon had great flavor but was limp and soggy too. cheddar cheese was slimy, tomato & avocado were fine. My guess is the garlic aioli was too much for the bread. If I were to order this sandwich again, I would get the aioli on the side. French fries were well fried but over salted. My husband only ate some of half of the sandwich & some of the fries. We brought the rest of the sandwich home for our dog-he approved- -2 paws up :) Husband had the michelada & said it was good-spicy but not overly so. What I know made the meal was our service!! Liz, who is the bartender, was our server. She was so personable & delightful. You can really tell she loves interacting with her customers. SD is not typically know for its customer service-in fact its our biggest complaint when eating out!!! Liz KNOWS customer service!!!! We asked when she usually works & we will for sure be coming back because of her more than even the food! Great hire Breakfast Republic-hold on to her!!!! read more

Love this chain sm!! Encinitas location can be hit or miss, mainly on the side dishes. The mains are always solid :) service is always really fast though and accommodating!! + it's super cute, especially outside patio area! read more

I love this restaurant and come here a lot. On the weekday mornings it's super chill. Their food is scrumptious and they have the best decaf coffee I've ever tasted. Alex was a good server, but I've always been treated well at this location. read more

Great tasting food and great service! There was a wait for tables so we opted to sit at the bar. So glad we did because Melinda was great! She was attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. We ordered the French Toast flight: Brioche, S'mores, & The Presley. All three were so good. The s'mores was like eating dessert! And loved the bacon & peanut butter combo in The Presley! It sounds strange, but the combination worked! The saltiness from the bacon complimented the sweetness of the peanut butter. It's making my mouth water just thinking about it! We also ordered the chicken sausage and potatoes. Not just regular potatoes, but potatoes with Brussel sprouts and bacon! Yes, it was delicious! Next time I'm in San Diego, I'll definitely dine here again to get my French toast fix. I only wished the Bay Area had a Breakfast Republic. read more

Food wasn't that good today. Rinks were flat. Service was slow. They can add a little more spice on their whole eperience.

The inside was super cute with a fun vibe. We came here because there were multiple vegan breakfast items on their menu. My friend was excited for a vegan Bloody Mary too. We both got the vegan breakfast burritos, but modified them. Most of the items were fake animal products (beyond/impossible, imitation bacon, eggs, and cheese). They also had pancakes that sounded pretty good, but was not what I was looking for. The food was alright, but don't feel a need to go back. read more

Outstanding Breakfast Experience at Breakfast Republic! I had the absolute pleasure of being served by Liz during my recent visit to Breakfast Republic, and I can honestly say it was one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time. From the moment I was greeted, it was clear I was in excellent hands. Liz was incredibly warm, attentive, and professional -- striking that perfect balance between friendly conversation and efficient service. Every detail was taken care of with care and precision. My coffee never went empty, our food came out hot and fresh, and special requests were handled without hesitation. You could tell she genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. It's rare to find someone who makes you feel so welcomed and valued as a customer. The recommendations were spot-on (definitely try the Jurassic Pork bacon and cinnamon roll pancakes!), and the entire vibe was elevated because of Liz' s energy and attention to detail. If you're headed to Breakfast Republic, do yourself a favor and hope you get Liz as your server. You'll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit! read more

We have had breakfast here several times over the past year and the food has been consistently tasty. They have a menu with some very original dishes. My daughter and I love the lemon coconut pancakes. They are delicious. My favorite side is the Brussels sprouts potatoes. They are very flavorful in spite of the fact that I usually don't like Brussels sprouts. If you are a meat lover, the Jurassic pork is a great choice. Our friend really enjoyed it. The bottomless house coffee is quite good as well. The portions are generous. The restaurant has a cool vibe and the staff has been solid every time. Definitely recommend this place for a hearty breakfast. read more

TLDR: All in all this location is just the absolute worst breakfast republic. The food wasn't that good. The server was absent minded (misheard our order and forgot 2 of 4 drinks). I love Breakfast Republic. I always recommend it to people for brunch but this Encinitas location is terrible. Food: the pancakes were solid. They always are. However the potatoes that came with my omelette were all dried up end pieces. There was a very generous portion but of the 50 pieces, there were maybe 4 cubes of potatoes and the rest was dried up edges. I definitely got the last of the batch. The side of bacon was just sad. It was the thinnest sliced bacon ever. Service: it was awful given we went on a Thursday morning and there weren't many customers. There were maybe 3 or 4 other tables besides ours and everyone at those other tables was always looking for a server. We also didn't get 2 of 4 of our drinks. We thought they would come eventually but they never did, so I asked the server to forget them towards the end of the meal. On the receipt it said that the cutomer returned the oj and the lemonade. To be more accurate, it should say "server never brought to the table." Also I ordered the $8 fruit plate but what came was a tiny plate with 4 thin apple slices, 4 pieces of mandarin and maybe 1/4 cup of pomegranate seeds. I was stunned so I asked the server, that is the $8 fruit plate? And he was like, no this is just a side of fruit. And then....again no fruit plate showed up. Then when I get the check? I saw that it was a $4 side of fruit. The fact that they charged $4 is ridiculous for the small amount of fruit but it was doubly ridiculous since I ordered something different. I didn't even know you could order a side of fruit. I didn't even see it on the menu. To make matters worse, our server then argued I ordered the side of fruit but then I countered that I actually ordered the fruit plate, and that is why I asked "this is the $8 fruit plate?" Then he was suddenly apologetic.... read more

Stopped by Breakfast Republic over Labor Day weekend and had the absolute pleasure of sitting at the bar where Elizabeth was bartending -- and WOW. Even with the holiday rush and a full bar, she was calm, cool, and totally on point. Elizabeth somehow knew exactly what we needed before we even finished deciding -- from food to drinks, she absolutely nailed it. The menu is packed with amazing choices (seriously, how do you even begin to choose?), but she made some casual recommendations that turned out to be spot on. Also, can we talk about her lattes? Smooth, perfectly balanced, and just what we needed to kickstart the day. You can tell she really takes pride in her craft -- and it shows. Thanks for the stellar service, Elizabeth! We'll definitely be back, and next time, we're heading straight for the bar. read more

Went with a group of 10 and got seated very quickly. Our server was awesome. We had the French toast sampler as a share and it was great. The Chilaquiles were amazing same with the Brussels sprouts. 3 of our party got the Madam and loved it. Fresh squeezed OJ is a must. read more

Our server Michelle was awesome! She answered all of our questions and gave great suggestions. Super cute restaurant and decor as well. I had the vegan eggs benedict and it was really good! We plan on returning next time we're in the area. read more

This place has been so disappointing the last couple of times I've been here. The last time I was here my Avocado Toast tasted so bland and had almost no avocado on it, and was falling apart before I could even pick it up. That was the only real time I was disappointed, but this time was even worse. Everything was either significantly overseasoned or underseasoned. There was not 1, not 2, but 4 pieces of black hair in our food. The Jurassic Pork tasted awful, and usually it's my favorite thing about this restaurant. The only good thing were the potatoes. I was so disappointed with this experience, I used to really love coming to Breakfast Republic but it's definitely gotten worse within the last year or so. Otherwise, the service was fine and the interior was cool. read more

The mimosa was trash.. I didn't even finish it .. that speaks volumes ..The food was nasty and cold... we came all the way from LA to try this and paid $80 and we didn't even eat 80% of our food.. horrible experience ..would rather have denny's .. beyond disappointed! read more

Food has amazing flavor and large portions. Staff is very kind and amazing service. The Oreo pancakes was delicious. 10/10 recommend

The welcoming experience from the server was not welcoming at all. He was vey sluggish, seemed like he just was there to be there. The food was not appetizing at all. The rice was very mushy the beans were still hard not cooked all the way. The sauce used for the chilaquiles had no flavor very bland. The burrito my husband ordered in his own words " I have tasted better from a drive thru." The only thing I enjoyed was my guava mimosa. It's a bummer cause I was really looking forward to Breakfast Republic do to high expectations from previous experiences. read more

Started off with coffee cake which you have to wait for. Nothing like any coffee cake I have ever had. Very dry grainey and probably the worst ever. It went down hill from there. Not going back. read more

This was our first time there. It was the best of times, and the worst of times! The place has such a great ambiance - decor is lovely, bar is well appointed, a great overall vibe. We got sat relatively quickly (2 of us) and were greeted and ordered in a timely fashion. they have a great range of brunch drinks and their classic bloody mary is delicious. It tastes fresh and homemade just as they claim! However, the wait for our food was well over 40 minutes and this killed the good vibe. To the credit of the waiter, he was kind and honest with us about the big delay. Turns out head kitchen chef quit and they were scrambling. He saw we weren't happy and comped us two bloody Mary's while we waited. He also apologized several times. Sadly after that long wait, the food was meh. My eggs and potatoes were overcooked and the toast was more like warm bread. Not sure if this is due to kitchen staff issue... The response from waiter and free drinks to try and make it right makes all the difference however. And this is why I will go there again in good hopes that our experience was just an exception because of being short-staffed. read more

Loving the decor at Breakfast Republic. It's a super hip spot with really unique breakfast options - like Jurassic Bacon.

I first tried this chain a couple years ago at the Downtown location. Over there we had to wait for over an hour, but we had a much more expedited experience this time. I love the unique twist Breakfast Republic takes to some typical brunch dishes, and the price is quite affordable. - Cafe De Olla: Highly highly recommend for coffee drinkers. The cinnamon flavor is so strong and there's a natural sweetness to it so you don't even need to add sugar/cream. - Breakfast Jambalaya: I would've never thought about having jambalaya for breakfast, but this was so tasty! Lots of shrimp too. - Crab & Crawfish Cake: One of the most unique eggs benedict I've had. The slight sweetness from the jam paired nicely with the savory, seafood taste. - French Toast Sampler (for 2): You can choose 3 french toast flavors for the sampler. We got Mr. Presley, banana split, and strawberry & mascarpone. The peanut butter, banana, and bacon crumble was the perfect combination. The banana split was my favorite. The bruleed banana with a scoop of vanilla ice cream was so good! The strawberry & mascarpone wasn't super special, but I appreciated how it wasn't too sweet. Lots of parking in the mall although there are a lot of restaurants in the area so it may get busy. There are lots of cute and creative decorations, so take a look around while you're waiting for your delicious food. read more

I was really disappointed in this location. I talked up this brand to my friend because I had been to another location and loved the food and staff. We went here this past Monday around 9am and there were maybe 3 tables with people, 1 guy at the bar and 3 staff members. It took them 5 mins to seat us. The guy behind the bar who ended up being our server saw us and another guy saw us and no one greeted us or told us someone would be right with us. So we waited. We were finally seated and after a long wait we were finally greeted by our server with glasses of water. We waited long enough to decide what we would eat from their unique menu, look around the restaurant and admire the paintings and then stare at each other for a few minutes. Our server took our order and food came out in a timely manner. Everything looked good except my daughters fruit plate which looked more like a side fruit plate. To add to insult to injury the fruit plate they gave consisted of figs, old/bruised pears, apples, blueberries and cantaloupe. What kid eats that stuff? And why would you put old fruit on the plate? We asked to take it back and requested a toasted english muffin instead. I was so disappointed and somewhat embarrassed because again I spoke highly of this chain and it was not holding up to what I had said. read more

Eaten here a handful of times and everything I've had was good. My only reservation was the bacon mac n cheese was in a creamy liquidy soup instead of a more solid cheesy dish. Pretty crowded on weekends so expect a little wait. read more

Food was good, the only negative was the eggs on the eggs Benedict were cold. The hollandaise was room temperature and could have been used to heat up the eggs. The Jurassic pork was a great add to the Bloody Mary and the Benedict. Pancakes were good, not enough syrup, but they brought a dab more when requested. Potato upgrade to add balsamic Brussels, cheese and Jurassic pork was an excellent choice. We will be back! read more

Great to go out and have brunch or breakfast with your family and friends. I think any variation of their French toast was my favorite! read more
