Everything was perfect today, Gloria is a great server, very friendly and nice, I love this place!!

No kids menu? Nope. Cafe de olla is amazing, but it is served in a smaller cup than regular coffee and it is more expensive. You have to flag somebody down to get a refill. Steak and eggs was delicious! Pancakes could have been more moist. They were just ok and I expected more from a breakfast focused place like this one. Get here early to avoid long lines. No reservations and your full party must be present to be seated. Decor is all about the theme and super cute! read more

First time to a Breakfast Republic. In town for a visit. Very good service. Good food. Tasty hot coffee. Funky decor.

Breakfast Republic ... yall have a really fun way of naming your dishes and bringing some great food/flavors together. 1- The restaurant has a variety of indoor and outdoor seating. It can run tight, but they are very accommodating. They do get busy, and parking can be a bit of a search. I would recommend parking closer to target where the 2-hour parking is. Also, when you check in up from, just be aware... their messaging system is.. kind of irritating... I got an initial text , then a second text saying to check in with the host... then when the table was ready, I got a phone call from an unknown number.... and I usually will not pick those up. They had not explained that this was going to happen after I had checked in... soooo I did dock yall for that. 2- The hosts were great. The only thing that we had a problem with was that our order changes and added sides did not come out until we te requested them. Outside of that, they did check on us, and it was busy, so I did not dock you there because... it was that busy for all of you. I saw how hard yall were working!!! 3- The food was delicious. I got the steak and eggs, the eggs were perfect over easy, I did order a med rare steak, but it was more rare and that can happen with flank steak if you are not careful. The in between on a flank steak requires attention since it can cook quickly. I would recommend going through deeper cuts, and this will allow you to cook and sear to get some of that char, allow for more cooking and a bigger portion size. I'm assuming you leave out the thinner cuts because they will be more cooked than the thicker parts.the hashbrowns were delicious it was just missing the crispy element... Outside of that, I still enjoyed my meal. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day, and you have some amazing dishes, so I will be back to give some of your other dishes a go. If you are looking for a good breakfast spot, I would not turn down a trip to Breakfast Republic. read more

Breakfast Republic - Strawberry Screwdriver Cocktail - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Irvine, California

Despite the little wait to get a table, it was worth it! Our server was prompt, courteous, and took excellent care of us. I had the turkey pesto skillet tried something different from usual entrees. WOW! I was surprised. The flavor was spot on and it was delicious. I also had the Brussels sprouts with bacon. It's so true everything just tastes better with bacon. My friend had the Oreo pancakes and chicken sausage, also very good. read more

service was terrible, my friends eat here often & it was my first time here & we got seated quickly but took us around 10 minutes to get waters for the table & no one had still taken our order. MIND YOU people who came after us got their order in so quickly so after 20+ minutes of waiting for no one to show up we left because it was unfair a table of 10 got their order in before us. read more

Our server Jessica was super polite and helpful towards us, and our food was super yummy, thank you!

The booze breakfast drinks are exactly what you need on a Sunday morning. Food is delish

Great little place located in the University Center across from my Alma Mater UCI. A lot has changed from whence I attended and graduated from there and all of it more or less is a good thing. Breakfast Republic is one that can be considered a good change that opened up in this center. You really can't miss it as it's between the Regal theater and Trader Joe's. We got there just in time because after we were seated and ordered there was a good queue stacking up waiting to be seated. Menu is NOT extensive, but that's a good thing in my opinion. Sometimes when there's too much on the menu you end up with analysis paralysis and can't decide on what to order. They have a bevy of drinks/coffees to choose from. My wife ordered a Michelada, my daughter an ube latte (sounds strange but quite good), I ordered the salted caramel latte and that was SOOOO good. For our brunch, wife ordered the avocado toast with a balsamic reduction and topped with micro greens, pomegranate and strawberry scattered throughout the order. Daughter ordered the cinnamon toast pancakes with walnuts and a sugary glaze drizzled over it. I had some of her leftovers and it was amazing, pancakes were light and airy and had that comfort of cinnamon toast I'm sure you're familiar with. Son ordered shrimp and grits, he loved his dish so much as it was devoured before I was half way through my meal. I ordered the shrimp frittata. My dish was done right, eggs were fluffy and bell peppers were not over cooked so there's that bite to it. There were pieces of asparagus mixed in as well to provide some extra texture to the meal. Definitely give this place a try for breakfast or brunch! read more

Food is fantastic and genuinely desirable! It was both "more healthy" & tasty. Service wa great too--Jessica was so kind and patient with us! Really fun and lively environment, but not too chaotic if you're still looking for something lowkey. 10/10 recommend to anyone who loves breakfast food! read more

Maria was my server and all I could say is that she was the sweetest person ever! I felt like I was being welcomed into her own home and was being served food that she cooked herself. I absolutely loved her energy and made my duration at the restaurant very pleasant. Aside from my 5 star experience, I have to say that the environment of the restaurant is very clean, which is what makes this place my #1 breakfast spot to go to every time. read more

Enjoyed breakfast on a beautiful day! The service was excellent, Liz was super kind even as she quickly responded to the needs of customers. Food was great, especially loved the cafe de ollo! read more

This restaurant has been on my list for awhile. Ever since I saw the one in SD years ago with a crazy line. Finally got to try it and was really excited. I feel like we ordered the wrong things though. Parking is super easy. Wait time is not crazy. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Service was great, speedy, and friendly. Vibes were cute. This spot was ticking every box! My favorite part of the meal was the coffee. Cafe de Olla had some mixed reviews (mainly due to consistency). However when we went, that drink was delicious. Perfect balance of sweet and bitter. I would come back just for this coffee. Jurassic Bloody Mary was an over the top experience. It was good. The sparkling strawberry screwdriver was sweet if you like your drinks more on the fruity like a mocktail side. The food is served on overly large plates that leave no room on your table. We were two people and ordered two dishes. We struggled with table Tetris. Presentation gave "it's bigger in Texas" vibe" for sure. Crab and Crawfish Benedict was good but the hollandaise sauce was very thick which was disappointing. The potatoes were delicious though. The pancakes . The coconut one was the best one. The strawberry cheesecake was alright. The Oreo one was a little laughable. There was unmelted slabs of cookie butter on top and in the middle of the the two pancakes. I feel like it shouldn't have been presented like that and it was hard to enjoy cold butter on a lukewarm pancake. For us, we'll stick to the coffee and the potatoes. Still a god spot if you want to have a larger group. If we come back, we'll avoid the dishes we ordered and try something else. read more

Kaylee is the best!!! Great food, great service, great drinks. I got the scramble and it was amazing

I had high expectations coming in since my visit to the San Diego location, but this Irvine location just doesn't hit the same. Service is excellent even though they looked a bit understaffed. Our server was the sweetest and gave us recommendations for drinks. We ordered the s'mores french toast with a side of house potatoes and buttermilk pancake. The french toast was pretty sweet, so if you're not a dessert person, don't order this as your only dish. The house potatoes balanced out the french toast with its savory flavor and the buttermilk pancake might just be the best thing we ordered. The batter was pretty much perfect! Drinks wise, I recommend the salted caramel latte, tried the oreo latte but I'm not a fan. There's an outdoor patio seating so there's a lot of natural sunlight inside the restaurant. Love all the decorations on the wall and tables! read more
