    Great place to have brunch with friends from the friendly service and it easy to find , a tip on parking if you are not there early you will have to park further on the other side for parking but it shared with a shopping center so you get what you get . Food A nice size portions . my favorite is the processco mimosa with guava . Or yeah food huh, duh . If you like to try things this lovely skillet meal was the shrimp frittata.. that's just me being greedy and coffee cake is a twist but delightful ... Eat up peeps

    The flight and the BR Sammie
    Ashley H.

    This has become one of my new favorite spots. I was the first time and didn't know what to order so I decided to do the flight so I could pick three different pancakes or French toast. They did not have waffles. I then decided to get something more than the sweets and decided to go with the BR Sammy. From first glance, even with the hole over the egg was such a delight, but when i took that first bite i was in heaven !!

    Everything was good! I got the Portuguese Linguisa Sausage scramble, it was really delicious with the potatoes & brussel sprouts. My bf got the American breakfast and he devoured it in 5 minutes. What really stood out for me was the orange juice that was freshly squeezed. It was really good and sweet! Even the jam for the bread was to die for. Overall, it was a nice breakfast. Good price, good service, and high quality food.

    Start the day after Labcorp!

    Our first back breakfast back in Carlsbad or Encinitas, we were hungry because we had to fast all morning before LabCorp. Jose was a very good server, the only reason for the four stars was, I thought that all the food was just a tad undercooked. My wife had eggs Benedict and I thought the English muffins were as soft as I've ever felt. My pancakes, acceptable pretty nice taste but the sausage that I ordered on the side was truly uneditable. Jose was nice enough to take it off the bill and to take it back. Latte and coffee just what we needed. Parking, easy and a nice big lot, interior lots of tables maybe just because it was a Thursday after breakfast. Good place to try if you haven't gone I just wouldn't order the maple sausage.

    Perfect place for a quick brunch date. The vibe is easy and the service was fast and friendly. Is the food out of this world? No, but it's good food at a semi affordable price and there is something for everyone! Went here with my teen son and he was very happy!

    Food: My husband and I came for breakfast on 11/27/2025, yes, open on a Holiday! My husband ordered an omelet dish with sausage and an espresso drink. I ordered a spicy blood Mary (so good!, plus coffee,) and the jurassic Benedict breakfast with upgraded potatoes with Brussels & bacon, which is one of my favorite. Very flavorful. Service: It was Ok, Laura was very professional and friendly. She did come over to see if things tasted good but I had just taken a drink and my husband said everything was good. Ambiance: Fun and modern. Noteworthy: My husband's hot espresso drink was cold, like it had been sitting around for an hour, we flagged Laura over for a new one. My breakfast was lukewarm, the upgraded potatoes and eggs, I HATE when it's lukewarm & its not the first time, I keep forgetting to tell them I want it hot, I dont think I should have to say it but I do like coming here. I want to see steam rising from my food, lol I didn't want to complain after the cold espresso, so I ate some and saved some to heat up at home because it is flavorful. My husband's food was hot, so I imagine mine was ready first and his was freshly served hot while mine cooled off.

    Coffee

    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.

    Ughh... I wish I liked this place, only came back because a friend picked it. I only ate the food because I was so so hungry, The California breakfast burrito on their menu lists "skirt steak" as the first ingredient and maybe every 5 bites I got a piece of steak. Some of the potatoes were raw inside. The rice still had a bay leaf in it and the rice was day old rice that held together cause it was in a container of some sort. It was not good I wish it was good but things here seem to just miss the mark for me, I still ate the food because I hate to complain and my friend invited me out to breakfast so I didn't want to be rude. People I know seem to love it but my experiences here have been just okay unfortunately. The coffee machine needs to be cleaned because the coffee was so bitter My first California breakfast burrito ever and it wasn't flavorful all that, nothing has any depth of flavor here. It just is what it is. Rice takes 30 minutes to make just make it fresh and don't serve people the bay leaf and not break up the rice. It was lazy, and the service is lack luster Ambiance is the only okay thing about this spot and the bathrooms are dirty, and the serving plates' paint was chipping so I don't think that's a good thing for consumption I know I said I wouldn't come back last time but this time I really mean it. Sorry

    Vegan Breakfast Burrito with rice and beans
    Rie M.

    We were looking for a hearty breakfast with options and we found it here. Open from 7am-2pm daily. I really enjoyed my breakfast burrito with beans and spanish rice, which also came with a side of red sauce. My companion ordered the vegan pancakes. Our staff attendant was super present for us (filled our water cups at least twice, bussed our tables and came by our table least twice to check on us) And it was busy. Lots of great menu choices; a must try if you are in the neighborhood

    Steak power bowl
    Pranjali S.

    3.5 stars. This breakfast restaurant has an eclectic breakfast menu. If you prefer to have filling, savory brunch kind of foods for breakfast, come here. They also have a vegan menu. Service is good and quick. Lots of parking in the parking lot if you just drive around enough. The ambiance and atmosphere is nice - spacious, airy, cutesy slogans on the walls, etc. The food is decent but quite heavy on the salt. We ordered the shakshuka special, the sausage omelet and the steak power bowl. The shakshuka was excessively salty. With the accompanying pita bread, the salt was not as obvious but there were 3 pita pieces which I finished in like 5 bites and then a whole 3/4 bowl of salty shakshuka to eat. When we had the leftovers later, there was even more salt because now the dish had marinated in it. The sausage omelet was good and a pretty big portion too. The potatoes that came with it were heavily salted also. Some of those pieces could not be eaten given how salty they were. The steak bowl was fine. The cauliflower rice had the opposite problem in that it didn't have enough salt! If you guys are able to figure out your salt game, the food will get rave reviews.

    My delicious eggs Benedict
    Cassandra R.

    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!

    if you haven't been here before, what are you doing?!?! this place has the BEST breakfast!! i've been here more times than i can count because the food, service, ambiance is always SO good! the food is trendy, but not crazy with the creations which is nice because it feels & taste like you are at a diner, but an upscale diner haha! the customer service is always amazing! they are always friendly and work very fast while providing great service! there is usually a wait, but if you go after the rush so around 1pm/2pm there shouldn't be a wait or at least a long wait! my food recommendations: the house potatoes are a must with their signature ketchup (i like the mild for an extra kick)! the pancake flight is a great option to try their different, unique pancakes! my favorite is the strawberry cheesecake and bacon! warning: when you go here for the first time, you won't be able to stop going back!

It's tough to get a table for a weekend noon. I booked our reservation a few weeks ahead of time. Parking is either near the train tracks across the street or on the curb. We got the egg dish and salad bowl. The yogurt for the eggs was deliciously spiced; dipping in the toasted bread into the gooey poached egg, creamy yogurt, and herbs was delicious! My issue with this dish were the herbs that were too large. Was I expected to stick a big piece of herb on my toast? The dish is saucy with the chili oil so my clothes were dirty with the oil covered herbs. Chop the herbs smaller for practicality! Another dish suffered from the execution. We got the bowl which I thought was going to be a grain bowl. Rather, it was a ridiculously-sized salad--as much leaves as a pack from the grocery store! There were toppings within like slices of avocado, pieces of orange, farro, and nuts. I felt like I was trying to treasure hunt to look for these pieces. The salad was comically oversized. It was dressed fine but suffered from the portion size. You could see this theme with the French toast too where you get 1/3 of a baked bread. I'm honestly confused by this chef who has amazing experience. Why do you construct dishes that are difficult and impractical to eat? Less is more. These dishes need extensive edits. How this place got Bib Gourmand is honestly surprising to me.

Our food between ordering and getting it (after having to inquire 2 times) took about 50 mins to get. Meanwhile tables that got seated way after us got their food before. And we didn't have a complicated order. A lot of our food when it came out was Lukewarm which is sad bc the flavors were overall good for everything. The second server while a nice young gentleman, was just scattered and not attentive. We had to keep being the one to catch him to ask for refills on drinks and even then, that was few and far between being able to catch him. The last time we inquired about our food before it actually came, he made a joke like "sorry guys. But like, sometimes when it takes a while for food come, the food can taste better" and it was like, no...no it didn't. We could only think, man this would have tasted way better if it was fresh and didn't take almost an hour to get. Overall, big bummer of a meal...especially as a birthday meal.
