Breakfast Republic - Vegan Breakfast Burrito Tres Leches Vegan Pancakes Breakfast Tostadas Cafe de Olla - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

So... I'm impressed. The days of waiting in line for brunch are years past me but we came early and beat the rush and were so glad we did! This is a fave now. The service at the table is really great-- so friendly and warm. We ordered the cafe de olla (def get this, it's bottomless) and I ordered the omelette with Portuguese sausage and they made it gfdf. The potatoes are yum and so was the omelette! And the food is well portioned! My partner got the chicken Benedict and really liked it. So much more to try here-- we will definitely be back. (Menus were way too sticky though -- they need to wipe them). read more

It was so good l alcohol and coffee ratio 10/10 I ordered bacon pancakes ; excellent I have nothing left to say other then it's a MUST read more

Walked by this busy Friday morning and noticed the counter was available so I was seated right away. The drink menu offers plenty of options and I went with the iced caramel latte that is amazing. Soon after ordering, the food arrived with plenty to share if needed. The chilaquiles is a local favorite and I understand why. The flavors are outstanding. This place gets really busy at times so be prepared for a little wait. Give them a try. read more

Another place that I would always walk or past by whenever I'm in Belmont shores. Finally gave in and tried it out. The beginning of the week as it was still pretty early and plenty of tables open. There's a small parking lot next to it as well as but both metered street parking along the front as well as parking in the neighborhood. Just read the signs to be safe as I've been seeing lots of cars getting parking ticket. Monday just around a late breakfast and plenty of tables which it was still a wait to be seated. There was a host and a couple of the waiters working. The restaurant is an open concept feel. Main dining area has the bar as well as the patio. There a side dining area which all has the outdoor feel. They also have merchandise along one side of the wall for purchase. Menu wise, pretty much breakfast. I'm not sure if there's a separate menu for later on or if that was it. Service was nice once we got taken care of. It's a looked like a full bar where it could also be utilized for a meal as there's seating along the counter. Food, one of the omelets. Portuguese linguisa sausage, applewood smoked bacon, sausage, tomato, green bell peppers, herbs and the BR cluckin "good hot" sauce served with house potatoes and toast with butter and jam. It was quite tasty and flavorful. The omelette was also a nice yellow color compared to others. Also had an order of the breakfast jambalaya with shrimp, Portuguese sausage, rice, red bell peppers, and roasted tomatoes sauce and topped with three eggs any style and green onions. This dish was tasty with nice big shrimps not bay shrimp. A nice touch with the eggs, rice was flavorful. Staff were all friendly and food was nice. Love the plates that the meal comes on which literally everyone's looked massive. Restroom is located along the walkway of the kitchen so waiting is along the side. It does pick up fast so weekend can be a good wait time. read more

Once again they delivered. Popped in on a Friday morning for breakfast. The weather was perfect, it wasn't to crowded. We waited less than 5 minutes to be Service was dialed in. Attentive without hovering, friendly without forcing it...they had the rhythm down. You can tell when a spot runs smooth, and this place does. Now let's get into the real reason we're here : the food. I ordered the Jalapeño Bacon Cheddar Sausage Omelet with a side of classic pancakes, and yeah...this combo hits. The omelet was loaded with flavor, perfectly cooked, and had that nice kick from the jalapeño without overpowering everything else. Pancakes? Soft but with a crispy sear, warm, and exactly what you want on the side. My wife went with the French Toast plus Brussels sprouts and potatoes sweet meets savory done right. Everything came out hot, fresh, and seasoned on point. No misses. Side tip: ask for the real maple syrup. Game changer. read more

Breakfast Republic - Breakfast tostada's with potatoes - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

This one day, I was craving breakfast....but like a different kind of breakfast that hits different and Breakfast Republic hit the spot! It's one of those little restaurants that make you feel at home. Thankfully, I went on a day when it wasn't busy at all, so I was seated right away and I chose to sit at the cozy bar area. First off, I was dying laughing at their Christopher Walken "Easter egg" outside for those who get it! If you go here, you'll know what I'm typing about! LOL! Okay, back to my review where I left off at the bar seating... I was greeted by 1 White dude and 1 light skinned black chick, whom I totally forgot their names!!! It's been killing me because I should've noted them on my phone! But yeah... the guy really nice and the lady was very welcoming while also recommending what they liked from this place. All around is the most random decor and art...from their merch booth, to their Albert Einstein quote. There is a really cool uplifting quote on the wall that reads: "Never left success get to your head and never let failure get to your heart". Many people these days need to learn from this; especially when they're leechy clout chasers and ungrateful parasites over idiots and social media influencers as opposed to people who have legit been there for them. But that's another story! LOL! Sorry, that Breakfast Republic quote really hits home with me and I LOVE IT! The cool lady server at the bar recommended that I try her favorite... their Breakfast Jambalaya! It was loaded with some nice sunny side up eggs atop some jambalaya with shrimps, sausage, etc. that had a damn good kick in heat and flavor to it! It definitely showcased a reason for me to come back and want to try their other stuff!!! 5 stars all around! Oh yeah... their parking is small & a hit or miss, but try your luck with the other spots around; but my advice is to basically try to go when you know many people will not go. read more

Absolute must try. Love coming here. The service is always amazing and the food is delicious. The only thing I don't like is the wait. There's always a long wait. So don't come hungry lol. That said, the service does not lack. They are on it. Been here a couple of times and it never disappoints. I've had their Power Bowl, Steak-n-Eggs, and the Chilaquiles. Every menu item I have had was a 10/10. My favorite is the Steak-n-eggs. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I've sat in both. Prefer sitting on the patio. It's not a big space. They also have an espresso machine to make any coffee you desire. read more

We first heard about Breakfast Republic from family members who live in San Diego. They took us to one down there and we loved it. When this location opened up near where we live we were thrilled. This is our go-to breakfast spot. We take family and friends and I have also recommended it to co-workers. It can get busy in this area of Belmont Shore, but since we usually get there pretty early we usually don't have to wait and we find parking in the small lot. It is decorated nicely and the staff are always extremely friendly and polite. They do seem to be stretched thin at times. My wife gets the same thing every time haha...pancakes, side of bacon, and cafe de olla. I usually get eggs benedict and I have tried most of their different options of this dish over the years and they have all been stellar. I have also ordered the chilaquiles and the traditional breakfast of eggs, bacon, and potatoes and never been disappointed. We highly recommend this place! read more

Delicious brunch spot! Came with a group 4 adults and a baby. They had a high chair and we were seated in their outdoor patio. We found street parking. Staff was friendly. This spot gets pretty busy so jump on their waitlist early. I had the chicken sausage egg omelette and cinnamon roll pancakes. Potatoes were crispy and everything tasted delicious. Fresh orange juice was also very refreshing! Our friends really love this spot because they have a pretty solid vegan selection! read more

Breakfast Republic - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Long Beach, California

Why did the chicken cross the road? It was headed to Breakfast Republic. BR is one of the undeniable breakfast heavyweights on 2nd Street in Belmont Shore, and quite possibly the busiest morning spot in the neighborhood. Birthed from San Diego, this breakfast joint makes delicious meals. We arrived right at opening, snagging one of the few parking spaces tucked beside the restaurant. Though a cup of joe is usually my steady companion at breakfast, I abandoned it in favor of their special: the Café de Olla Pancakes. Imagine coffee‑infused pancakes soaked in a glistening pool of syrup and topped with a generous swirl of coffee cream. Dessert for breakfast? Absolutely! We also shared the Breakfast Burrito, a wonderfully overstuffed bundle filled with avocado, potatoes, eggs, and your choice of protein, paired with a side of Spanish rice and black beans. This is comfort food executed with confidence. For my drink, I ambitiously ordered the UNLIMITED Strawberry Lemonade. I fully intended to down at least two cups, but I barely made it through one. It was a small defeat for me. By the time we stepped outside, a line had already formed. I couldn't help but feel grateful that we kicked off the day early. As the saying goes, the early bird gets the worm. read more

Love love love this place! The eggs are always cooked to perfection. Service is great here and they have multiple locations.

My wife came across this place on instagram. We decided to come check it out. It look good on instagram and it sure taste good. Good joint for breakfast. Staff is really friendly and welcoming. The manager walked around and checked up on us. I saw that they offered cafe de olla and I asked our waiter if I can try it. He went to go ask and sure enough I was able to try it. I ended up getting it. Food was on point. I'll definitely be back. read more

I've lived in Los Angeles for over 10 years, and this was easily one of the worst restaurant experiences I've had. The place was clearly poorly managed. There were tons of empty tables, yet we still waited almost 40 minutes. Every time we asked, we were told, "just two more minutes," and then kept waiting again and again. The staff had a terrible attitude, and the food wasn't even worth it. Definitely not a place I'd recommend. Avoid this spot -- I won't be coming back. read more

I'm soo sorry but I had to share. I would have let it go because our first experience was fabulous. However the manager on mother's day was so unapologetic I decided the mishaps and insane waiting times needed to be addressed. 1st. (7:30 am) I came in with a great attitude, asked for the hot coffee with whip cream and we ordered our food immediately because we were soooo hungry. 2nd. (8:o7 am) another guy (manager?) came and asked what we ordered, he said "hot, right? Refering to my coffee order and several minutes later came back with an iced coffee. REALLY? I reminded him that I asked for hot and he was ready to fix it, but 40 minutes in I was like "JUST GIVE ME CAFFEINE" time continued to pass us by and I struggled with releasing the angry black woman or staying calm. Just as we were going to cancel our order (or go postal) our food arrived, burnt jurassic ($2 upcharge) bacon and all. (After 9 am) It was SOOOO BURNT everyone recognized the problem immediately...except the chef. Like seriously, who serves burnt bacon...ON MOTHERS DAY to boot. The only positively thing I can say is the food is outstanding. I love the cluck burger. Their flavors are the only reason I may return .... next year. I need consistency...especially in a time when breakfast is easily $50- $100 for 2. Only customer service can make it worth the hassle and on this day it was a total FAIL!!!! So please....DO BETTER.!!!!!!! read more

Tuesday morning at 9:45am, we waited 45 minutes and still didn't have our food--really disappointing for our first visit. It didn't seem busy, so we're guessing they might have been short staffed, which could explain the delay. That said, the eggs were really good. The Portuguese sausage omelette was definitely better than the jalapeño cheddar omelette. However, the Brussels sprout potato upgrade was not worth it--very oily, the potatoes didn't taste fresh, and there was barely any Brussels sprouts included. My husband was especially looking forward to trying the cold foam (which they didn't have available today). Honestly another letdown given the overall experience. read more

We have been to Breakfast Republic's Irvine location several times over the past few months. We are always amazed by the food and lattes! First time at the Long Beach location, and it's literally a short walk away for us! Long Beach is a smaller location and that may be some of what makes it different from the Irvine location, although the menus look identical. To start with, I ordered a Chai Tea Latte, just as a do at the Irvine location, definitely made from concentrate and over diluted with milk that wasn't steamed (I can do better at home). I would not recommend Lattes, not sure that they have a barista(s) as they do at the Irvine location. In Irvine, the Latte comes and you go WOW. Food, I ordered my usual Traditional Eggs Benedict. The two eggs had different doneness, which is very unusual for poached eggs. One egg was almost runny (not runny enough for me), and the other egg was medium to well, with no run to it. Even the home potatoes were different, a bit underdone for my likeness. My friend ordered Strawberry French Toast and was pleased with her meal, just needed more syrup. Service was good but the server didn't come back to check out how our food was, otherwise I would have let her know. I was very hungry and just ate to be done. I expected the Long Beach location to be identical to Irvine sin e these are no Franchise stores! I will go back again, but only to the Irvine location (yes, I would rather drive 20 miles than walk 0.5 mile for the food and lattes). read more

Breakfast Republic in Long Beach is a pretty solid breakfast spot, especially if you're on Second Street. Just a heads up, parking is limited, so plan accordingly. The space inside is on the smaller side, but it works. You could comfortably fit maybe 5 to 6 friends at a table. It's cozy without feeling cramped. I had the jalapeño cheddar sausage bacon omelette with potatoes and pancakes with maple syrup, because I'm bougie like that. The food was good. Flavorful, filling, and satisfying. Nothing over-the-top life changing, but definitely good breakfast. My friends ordered the shrimp and grits and the chilaquiles, and they both really enjoyed their meals too. Service was good. Our waiter was amazing. I cannot remember his name, but he was attentive, friendly, and really added to the experience. They tend to use clean ingredients, which I appreciate. They use cage-free eggs. Although I personally prefer pasteurized eggs, I still appreciate the quality focus. It's a good breakfast spot. Not a mind-blowing, but definitely a place I'd go back to. Flavor Profile (for reference): Umami-forward (savory, salty depth) Acidic or bright (tangy, sour) Pungent and intense (spicy, slightly bitter notes) Drink Preference (for reference): Bitter-forward cocktails Balanced acidity Light sweetness only, not overly sugary read more

Located right on the main street in Long Beach, this spot definitely lives up to the hype with its cute, cozy décor. Came during brunch time and ended up waiting about 25 minutes for an outdoor table, which seems pretty normal given how popular the place is. The menu is simple but well-curated, and every dish that landed on the table was genuinely delightful. Service was generally great and attentive, though there was one misstep -- a staff member cleared all the hot sauces from the tables while guests were still eating, without checking if they were still needed. Aside from that small hiccup, it was an overall enjoyable dining experience. read more

I went here because I've never seen this spot before. It looked new to me. I decided to sit outside because inside felt a bit crowded to me, and I can get overwhelmed with crowds and loud noises. I got sat right away, because there were many seats. I came right before it got super busy which was around 8pm. The server had someone a serious demeanor. I don't' mind as long as they aren't rude. I ordered the cafe de olla (my fave coffee) and shrimp and grits with scrambled eggs. My order came pretty quickly and at first I looked at my shrimp and grits and I thought I'd regret ordering it, but the flavor was soooo buttery, with spice. It was so delicious. I ate it all! It worked so well with the eggs and the cafe de olla was also very good. I then had to pay. After this guy scanned my payment he left real quick. When my server came, I mentioned to my server that the guy came for me to pay, but I don't know what happened. I guess it didn't go through. So he ended up taking my payment. I was in and out pretty quickly. Will come back. Also love the little egg salt and pepper shakers. read more

Short Review: Uh.... YES! YES! YES! Good food. Good service. Go! Long Review: I've been looking for a good breakfast spot near Mother's Beach so when I come off the water I can refuel at a casual spot that is NOT a bar. Well, I found it! I will be a repeat customer here for sure. Good variety of options for breakfast for brunch. I had the chicken sausage omelette and it was out of this world! Very flavorful, not too greasy. Cute thing was the bread came with butter and jelly that was already soft and easy to dip. Lovely! And I got Mexican Coffee for the first time. Been wanting to try it, and the barista looked like he knew what he was doing. Yes...amazing! Place is kinda small but they have ample indoor and outdoor seating for parties not bigger than four. If you've got more in your party you're gonna wait. But it will be worth it. Promise! read more

I had been wanting to try this place. They have the cutest egg shape seats. We started off with oj. I also ordered their protein scramble. I will go back for it. It is the best scramble I have had in a breakfast place. I also wanted to try something sweet and was undecided between pancake or French toast. Server suggested a side of each. They were both good. I prefer the french toast. My niece got chilaquiles. They're ok. Sauce had nice flavor but I prefer spicy chilaquiles. Rice and beans were a little bland. I want to go back and try different flavors or French toast. They also have sourdough with homemade jam. I dipped my pancake in that jam and it was too good. Bacon hash was great too.
