    Stopped by here on a random day and was craving breakfast. I had a Bloody Mary and I will say it was DELICIOUS! Probably one of the best Bloody Marys I've had. The food on the other hand came out cold and very bland. The portions were really big I was able to share with my partner. But the food was not it. I would definitely come back for the Bloody Mary. We sat at the bar and the service was pretty slow. They were friendly but took forever to get our order and drinks in. I'd probably go back and try it again and hope the food is better and hot.

    A+ for presentation. All of our food was a delight for the eyes. It lacked a little luster on the palate. I ordered one of my favorites, chilaquiles. Theirs were red. The sauce was overly bitter and the chilaquiles begged for more cheese, sour cream, and cilantro. The Mexican dishes are served with rice and black beans. This is something, if you're going to serve them, just get them right. Rice and beans should be flavorful and impossible to pass up. And it's not hard to get that right. I'm sure the beans were from a can and seasoned up a bit. Not enough. I also tried a bit of the churro pancakes. The churro part was dined well, but the dry, rubbery pancakes left much to be desired. Not a terrible place, but we waited fur a table. We should have used our time driving to find a better spot.

    The food was spectacular! Austin our server was on top of his game the whole time taking great care of us while still maintaining the perfect chill San Diego vibe. Highly recommend the Cafe De Olla!!! If you are in Mission Valley for breakfast especially near the mall you should heavily consider this place.

    Awesome breakfast place! I grabbed the American breakfast and it was fantastic. The waitress was friendly and the food was delivered quickly. The friends that I went with all complimented how tasty their plates were. I will be back!

    Came in on a Monday morning for breakfast with a Friend of mine. There are a ton of outside seats with a little patio out front, also a ton of seating on the side as well. The inside isn't huge but there's a good amount of seats. There was a bit of a wait for a table but we were able to snag some seats at the bar right away. We were greeted immediately and given water then took just a moment to look over the menu. My friend and I both ordered a coffee drink and eggs Benedict. Since we were seated at the bar we got to watch our drinks being made and almost immediately after receiving our coffees our food was out! It was QUICK. The coffee I opted for was an iced salted caramel latte. It was so tasty with just a hint of sweetness. That was exactly what I wanted that morning. My friend enjoyed her drink as well, she decided on an espresso martini type drink called a Big Boozy Brew Shot. Clearly she liked it because she had 3. Our eggs bene were so good! The eggs were cooked perfectly and the hollandaise was delicious. I used some of the house ketchup with the potatoes and I loved that little hint of spice. Yum! It was my friend's idea to come here because it was one of her favorites when she used to live in the area and I'm glad for the recommendation. The service was so friendly and efficient, the food came out so quickly and tasted great. I highly recommend!

    Stopped by this morning to grab some breakfast and had a wonderful experience. We haven't been to this specific location in the past but have tried many others. Pro tip: bring the kiddos, sit on the patio and watch the trolley go by! There was no wait on a Monday morning so we were greeted and sat promptly. Kenzie was our server and she was so sweet and attentive. She checked on us, got me fresh coffee, and came out with the check as soon as she noticed we were done. Thank you Kenzie!

    BR Mission Valley Review Breakfast Republic is one of those places that makes breakfast feel like a desirous palette of flavors instead of just another meal. The menu has plenty of creative options, but they also do the classics well, so there's something for everyone. The portions are generous, the atmosphere is cool vibes and the service is fluid even during busy times. I arrived on a Saturday at 12ish. Wait time was expected to be 25 minutes but was more like 18. Indoor and outdoor seating was available. Our server Austin was definitely on top of it and deserves two finger snaps and a high cheer split. Our table ordered the Oreo pancakes with a side of whipped cream and the shrimp and grits. The pancakes literally had the Oreo filling between the stacks. Way too decadent and too much for one person's insulin. It was delicious but only half eaten. The shrimp & grits is not like the traditional recipe but it was good and flavorful. And did taste as good warmed up later. I would ask for the corn on the side. Yes, it had corn. BR has to do it differently. If you're looking for a farm kitchen spizzo with food variety and choices, BR is an easy recommendation. TIP FOR GUESTS: I carry my own cleansing cloths (for all restaurants) because the tables are not cleaned only wiped. There was a lot of residue. TIP FOR BR: A sign should be posted during busy times guests can't just sit and chat for more than 20 minutes beyond their eating time.

    Came here on a Saturday morning and only had about a 15-minute wait for two people, which wasn't bad at all. Cute place, good food, and good service. They have delicious cinnamon roll pancakes! Overall a solid breakfast spot!

    Amazing dining experience with co-workers! To begin the long weekend and celebrate someone's birthday, the group met for lunch. This was my second time dining at Breakfast Republic, but my first time dining at this particular location. Located in a shopping center, the ample available parking added to the relaxing and enjoyable experience. Among the group, several different entrees were selected, and everyone raved about the quality, quantity, and deliciousness of the food. I wish I could have had a bite of everything on the table (smile). Seated at a large table, which allowed everyone to interact, made for a pleasant experience for all of us, and we even sang happy birthday to the birthday boy. The atmosphere was great; staff and customer service were great; and the food was delicious! Highly recommended.

    The Hot Chick Benedict
    Jasmine N.

    Came here on a Saturday for breakfast, it was pretty busy, but waited about 20minutes. Our server was Mackenzie and she was amazing, friendly, great service. We order a bottle for mimosas, and she served the first one for us tae side. We also the Hot Chick Eggs Benedict, and the Traditional Eggs Benedict. Both lack flavor, seemed like it was missing something. The potatoes were a bit cold and dry. Felt like they just grabbed some from a pre cooked container and threw them on the plate. I probably wouldn't come back because nothing really stood out to me, but the experience was decent.

    This is our second time at Breakfast Replublic, but in a different town. Menu didn't really offer anything exciting for me so I went with a safe choice - the Cluck Burger. It was good, but lacked any presence of greens. Is it just me or a burger isn't complete without lettuce, onions and tomatoes? There were just a lot of protein (2 patties, bacon, egg) and carbs (fried potatoes) so I just felt like I needed veggies to balance it out. I had asked for "no-buns" because I don't care for any more carbs. In my mind maybe they could've done a lettuce wrap or something as it has been done in the past at other restaurants. Sure, I can't presume to think they'll do the same here, so maybe this was on me. But had they done a lettuce wrap or provided lettuce instead of buns, I would've given them an extra star. Also, the item description said it had Thousand Island dressing. But my burger did not have any. I asked our server why that was, and she said the dressing is on the buns, so because I asked for no buns, they didn't think to put the dressing on the burger. Whaaat? I guess our server realized the error, she asked if I wanted the dressing on the side. I, of course, said yes. This kind of gave me a weird vibe. The California Breakfast Burrito was decent, but it came with way too much rice and beans. I feel like sides portions should not overpower the main entree. Overall, decent breakfast place, but I probably wouldn't come back.

    Oh my god. The portions are amazing and the coffee was delicious. We came by over labor day weekend before driving back to LA. My girls loved the churro pancakes, I had some breakfast burrito left over (it was ginormous and I didnt want food coma while driving back) and my husband inhaled it when I brought it home. The coffee? Helped me stay alert during my drive home. Sorry, no picture of the churro pancake. Once it came out I had to fight my girls to let me cut & split it amongst the 3 of us. This is now going to be a staple in each & every trip to san Diego. My god 10/10.

    Melissa R.

    Austin was amazing and he made the experience the best. There was a little bit of a wait but the shopping center around made it easier to pass time would not recommend if you're in a rush. The food was amazing and they have indoor and outdoor seating.

Seating took a little while after opening, likely because they stagger new parties to avoid overwhelming the kitchen with orders all at once. There were tons of fun brunch drinks listed on a cute, record-shaped acrylic menu, although the coffee options were pretty limited. The food menu was just as fun and whimsical, and the waitstaff were all dressed to match the theme. Everyone was efficient, friendly, and helpful. We tried the soufflé pancakes, which were good, though they weren't quite as fluffy and jiggly as Japanese soufflé pancakes. They were also quite sweet on their own, so we didn't really need the syrup. We also ordered the cheese fondue plate, which came with steamed vegetables, kielbasa, and bread cubes--a really fun concept. Overall, the atmosphere is beautiful, playful, and definitely part of the experience. I'd happily come back if I'm in the area, especially if there isn't a long wait for a table.
