Very bad experience. Food was cold and tasteless. Service was nonexistent. Ambiance O.K.

Our food was cold. Our waiter was very good but the food was cold as ice! The 3 stars are from the waiter, not the food. The coffee was good n strong but once again our breakfast was cold and the restaurant didn't seem to busy. We had a table of 8 and it was recommended by 4 of the 8 people in our party. They even said the food was much better the first time they ate there. read more

Breakfast Republic - Coffee - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Encinitas, California

I had such an amazing experience at Breakfast Republic that I feel that I have to share. My husband and I drove up for the night because we are having a csection in the morning. We decided to go to our favorite breakfast spot Breakfast Republic. At first I was disappointed to know they no longer had the mashed potato omelet I had loved so much. I ordered the eggs Benedict which did not disappoint. Our food was soooo good. Now to talk about our amazing waitress Elizabeth (I don't know if shes a manager but if not she should be) she was so kind, had great small talk with us and just an enjoyable waitress. Before we left she came over with a card that everyone had signed congratulating us on our baby girl and wishing us luck tomorrow. I was in such shock by this kindness that it took me awhile to process. Let me tell you that it absolutely made my day because you dont get this kind of customer service. This is a moment of kindness I will always remember. Thank you Breakfast Republic and Elizabeth for making this nervous moms day! read more

Another visit to one of my favorite breakfast spots! I love the vegan sausage and bacon burrito with rice and beans. Someone else ordered the poached eggs and potatoes. Both were delicious! The Almond milk Latte was really good too. It was very busy but sat right away and our server was great. Go check it out! Ambience is comfortable and cute with an outside option too. read more

Double Delicious Coffee and our meal was just as good!!! I love the fact that they make their own bottled salsa and catsup that you can buy. Our server Aram is a great guy...We didn't want for a thing. He was right there at every need. More coffee, water, we had a lovely breakfast. And when Aram left his partner was there to finish up with a cup of coffee to go!!! Please try this place. I wish they'd open up a store in the tri- City area But, it's worth the drive over if truth be told ... Shout out to the chefs as well... read more

Breakfast Republic - Great breakfast stop in Encinitas - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Encinitas, California

Well, as an east coaster we take brunch seriously. I've found myself searching over and over for something that satisfies my savory/coffee loving heart and my husbands love for sweet items. I can't say this was any different than any other location. Nothing was terrible....except for Those abysmal potatoes. Please for the love of all things holy please stop using these frozen, flavorless bricks. I realize you have to make prep quicker in certain areas but these pre cut frozen potatoes are terrible!!! I would have been happier with a frozen hashbrown patty honestly. Service was chaotic and at one point had to just get up and get sugar and silverware by the kitchen because I was tired of waiting. And my search continues on for atleast a satisfying brunch experience... read more

Great selection of pancakes and French toast! They have something called the "Rooster Flight" that lets you pick three different pancakes or French toast flavors, which was perfect for someone as indecisive as me. The rest of the breakfast menu was delicious too! read more

The place was super busy when we got here but they got us seated soon. However our food took almost an hour to arrive after we ordered cause apparently they were short staffed as the server later told us. We ordered Chilaquille, tostada, veggie and pesto frittata and pineapple upside down pancake. Pancakes were the best I have had in recent times, chilaquille was average and so was the tostada. The frittatas were our fav, both vegan and non vegan options. read more

Honestly Breakfast Republic is probably one of the first restaurants to fuel my love for brunch when the chain started in 2015. This is by far my favorite location. No matter how busy they are, the wait never seems that long. On average it's about 30 minutes. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and it's super easy to find parking in the lot. You cannot beat their food and drink options and especially you cannot beat their prices for breakfast/brunch. On my last visit, once we were seated, we were able to order right away but service did seem to not be great after the first interaction. We had to keep flagging down whoever we could to get our drinks or put in other orders since our server didn't like to come back or ever check on us. Nonetheless we had a fantastic brunch. I came in that day specifically because I was craving the Ube latte. If you haven't had one, you are absolutely missing out. This is hands down one of my favorite coffees. Every location makes it perfectly. I've never been disappointed. Everyone at our brunch tried some of mine and decided to order their own. Some even asked for it to-go. I had to order my favorite Benedict, the San Diego. This is my go-to order but I absolutely love their chilaquiles and their California breakfast burrito. Honestly you can't go wrong with anything on their menu because their scrambles and sweet pancakes and French toasts are all killer. My San Diego eggs Benedict was delicious as always! Can't beat fresh avocado, poached eggs, and gluten-free hollandaise. Their house potatoes on the side were crispy as always too. Again, Breakfast Republic is always the best choice. 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

Great service and food! A fave. Careful, though, owners; it's starting to get that "old restaurant smell" you get in an old Outback or steakhouse. Like the same rags get used too much or it's been a while since a deeep cleaning. read more

We have been coming to this restaurant for the past 6 years. Service is great and so is the food. Plates are well served and taste super fresh. We love to come here for food and ambience, but if I'm being honest, I'm here for the "to go" coffee cup. Management of you are reading this, please consider making them of plastic or a better materia. read more

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Consistently great food, generous portions, and a varied menu selection with delicious vegetarian options.

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

Definitely will not be returning to breakfast. Republic a few years back. I had breakfast here. It was delicious. Had breakfast here today I couldn't believe what poor service we received it took forever for someone to take out order once we receive it and then it seemed like the server that she had a little bit of an attitude the top at all the pancakes were Luke warm. They did not even taste like buttermilk pancakes. The bacon on the plate was served in a puddle of grease, it wasn't even worth my time complaining or mention it to the server. She never came around to check to see how we were enjoying our meal. And had no problem giving us a $32 bill customer service and quality went down the drain with this restaurant. I would not recommend this restaurant 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
