Tucked away in a cute strip mall by the Trader Joe's this cute little breakfast spot is serving up some delicious meals! Ask about their specials - both drinks and dishes! My server recommended the Beef Bulgogi breakfast sandwich, it's served on sour dough bread with pepper jack cheese, bulgogi seasoning in a lovely sauce, a few small pieces of kimchi and very flavorful steak and scrambled eggs in the form is a omelet. I think they also had a few pickled cucumbers on there as well. It was amazing! Served alongside their fabulous potatoes. Definitely recommend a stop! Resistant has indoor and outdoor seating making it every comfortable for this area. read more

We had a good experience at Breakfast Republic. Came in early on a Friday afternoon. The food was good, and the service was friendly. We had the BR Sammie and the pancakes. Overall everything was fine, and it was a nice spot to enjoy breakfast. The only downside was that it was a bit hot inside, which made it slightly less comfortable. Other than that, we enjoyed our visit and would definitely come back again to try more items on the menu! read more

The service was really fast, and all the servers were super nice and welcoming. I also loved the quirky, fun decorations--it made the place feel really cozy and unique. I tried the chilaquiles plate, and while I wouldn't say it was the most authentic, it was still good! I probably wouldn't order it again, but I'm glad I tried it. The French toast was definitely my favorite! It was super good, sweet, and soft. I would definitely order it again and would love to come back and try some of the other flavors. Overall, a really nice breakfast spot! read more

Breakfast Republic - The Hot Chick Benedict - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

Vibes: 9/10 chill breakfast spot Wait time: 10/10...restaurant full but no wait Service: 10/10...our server was really nice and offered egg-cellent recommendations. She also offered me coffee to go and water to go...might seem small but it's rare for people to go above and beyond when they don't have to. Food: 10/10 jambalaya for the win. Decor: 20/10 All the egg stuff is so cute! Would I come back: 10/10 yup! The first thing I noticed when coming here were the details everything is so thoughtful even the coffee cup, and the decor around the eggs. I think it's so cute so I was excited to experience something unique I went with the jambalaya and my partner went with the shrimp and grits. read more

Great omelet and super service. Small mistake with my order. Monserrat solved it quickly and with a smile.

It's been years since I've been to Breakfast Republic, and now I remember why. It's just very meh as far as the cuisine goes. Our server was very nice and attentive. He suggested the shrimp and grits, said it was their most popular item and it's one of my absolute favorite things for breakfast. The grits were delicious, if this review was just for the grits themselves, it would be five star. But the way the shrimp was cooked and then the corn on top was completely disappointing. The shrimp were steamed or something and barely had any flavor to them. Usually shrimp and grits they've been grilled or sautéed in addition to being seasoned. The corn I could tell was cut off a fresh cob because there was a lot of cornsilk mixed in. Did they leave that there just so I would know it came from the cob and wasn't frozen? Was kind of gross. Also, the corn was undercooked and still hard. The poached eggs were made nicely. My man ordered the protein pancakes, which came out looking beautiful, but they were dry and thick. I've made protein pancakes at home that were far better from a Kodiak mix out of a box. Both of us thought the coffee was great, I thoroughly enjoyed the Mexican mocha, Its kind of sad when the best thing on the table is coffee when you go out for breakfast and spend about $60 on the meal after tax and tip. read more

Monse was the absolute sweetest! The vibe and the building give you neighborhood spot feeling and you can tell they are apart of the community.

I have been visiting this location almost weekly for a couple of years now. Most weeks we are a party of 3-4. Today we were just a party of 2 plus my service dog. The person who greeted us did everything they could possibly think to do to discourage us from eating there so accommodations wouldn't needed to be made for my service dog. Eventually we seated in the corner at this huge table that could have easily seated 8-10. We were provided menus and ordered two bloody Mary's. Our server then disappeared to the back. We waited and we waited. No water, no coffee, no Bloody Mary's. Eventually someone completely new to us approached us with two waters and asked if they could get us anything to drink. I informed them that we thought we had ordered two coffees and two Bloody Mary's. We were assured they would be right out. After 15 minutes or so our original server resurfaced and asked if we were ready to order. I explained we were still waiting for the coffee and Bloody Mary's that we ordered when we first sat down. The server was going to leave to check on our drinks but I said please take our food order first. We both wanted an order of Chilaquiles w/eggs sunny side up and none of the sides. The server was silent for what seemed like a lifetime and finally said they would check to see if that was possible. They returned offering potatoes, tomatoes, etc. I kept saying no! I might at this point we still didn't have any coffee or Bloody Mary's. Nerves overtook our server and it was obvious they were struggling with how to proceed. The server excused themself from the table once again and bolted to the back. We both looked at each other and decided that today's breakfast would not be brought to us by the Breakfast Republic. read more

Dear diary I was craving some good old American style brunch so we went here. Not too busy on a Tuesday afternoon so plenty of parking and service was fast. The atmosphere was more on the calm side perfect for a catch up brunch. The food portion was perfect. We got the grilled turkey sandwich and shrimp and crab cake Benny which came with french fries and potatoes. The fries were flavored nicely not too salty. The Benny was excellent and has a hint of sweetness which was new to me. The sandwich was great as well, definitely recommend trying them. The Bloody Mary was strong in flavor but I didn't mind it. It was overall a great experience. Cant wait to come back and try more things on the menu! read more

Breakfast Republic is a classic! My friend and I were seated fairly quickly for a Friday morning, and the server was so sweet and attentive. The jurassic pork is a must-have!! I upgrade to it everytime and I wish I ordered an extra side. Bacon with brown sugar & paprika - match made in heaven! The only note is that I wish the food was hotter when served. read more

Breakfast Republic - veggie scramble, american plate - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

Parking lot is shared with lots of other businesses and many spaces are 15-30 minute only so be careful. There is a lot alongside the side that is easier to parking in plus street parking a block away. They do not accept reservations, it's walk in only. It gets busy around 8:30am on the weekends. They only have two tables for large groups so be prepared to wait if you have more than 4 people. Service was okay. We weren't able to get water refills. I wouldn't order their unlimited coffee unless you are at the bar as it would be difficult to get a refill. We saw our server when we ordered/received our food and then when I flagged them down for the check. Even though they were busy food came out fairly quick. They have a coloring sheet for kids but no kid menu. Tried: Strawberry Cheesecake Pancakes $12.00 - came with 3 pancakes, cream was in the middle of the pancakes. I wish it came with more strawberries. Breakfast Sammie $14.25 - paid an extra $2.50 for Brussels sprout potatoes. The potatoes were the best part. The sandwich was just okay. Cluck Burger $17.50 - paid an extra 75 cents for french fries. Friend felt ill after eating half. Not sure if from the oil of the burger. Everything was just okay, but I most likely won't be back. read more

Okay absolutely yes. Not only do they have a vegan section of their menu, the food is actually fun, flavorful, and good. I got the vegan pancakes which felt like a unique item that I would actually go out of my way for, which I did, as opposed to mediocre vegan items for the sake of it. They have both sweet and savory dishes. The coffee and tea menu quality isn't the highest, a cafe would be a better place to go if that is a priority, but the food was great and is served fairly quickly. I went here two days back to back for breakfast on my San Diego trip and this is going to be regular in my rotation on future work trips. This is a bit more in the office areas as opposed to a mainstream area so it is much needed and appreciated as there aren't too many solid vegan options nearby. read more

My friends and I came here for dinner on a Sunday morning. There was a bit of a wait when we arrived, but we walked around the plaza until our table was ready. We were seated outside, but it wasn't too bad. Food: I ordered the vegan breakfast burrito. It was a pretty large burrito, and it came with rice and beans. It was pretty good, and I would definitely order it again. I love that they have a separate vegan section to clearly indicate what is vegan friendly. Service: It was quite busy as this place is super popular. Service was as expected for how busy it was. Our server was friendly and did check up on us regularly. TL;DR - great vegan options, service is indicative of how busy they are read more

This is my friend's go to spot for brunch and we've been meeting here about every other week for the past few months. Wait staff and chefs are so kind to be accommodating with food allergies and sensitivities! They remove dairy and gluten from my friend's order and mine without disapproving looks or impatience. We arrived in midafternoon this time and had the patio area mostly to ourselves since they close at 3:00. What a calm and relaxing environment! As the sun moved lower, we had the shades brought down for us. Great service, everyone's friendly, and the food and coffee are consistently delicious. The soundtrack is a bit loud inside, but perfect for conversation outside, and includes some humorous interjections..."Mom! Mom!..." reminds me of my son every time! Keep up the good service and positivity! read more

LONG BEACH: Just a quick review update on the Breakfast Republic in Long Beach. Same great atmosphere same great service and same great meal! The coffee is so smooth and just the right strength. Jurassic pork bacon on the floppy side so foodie beware. The brussels sprout potatoes are still the best. Oh but please get a new handle for the bathroom door! I had to call Houdini. read more

Came here on a Sunday morning for breakfast and there was no wait. Got seated at the high top table and the waiter was super nice and checked in multiple times. Got the hot chick benedict and the portion was huge and also came with potatoes. I do wish that the dish came with a little less sauce since there was a lot of sauce. However the dish overall was super good and the chicken was crispy. read more

I've been here a couple of times now, but for some reason this place just hasn't quite hit the spot for me. Coming on the weekends can be a little frustrating because there's almost always a long wait. By the time we get a table, place our order, and the food arrives, I've usually lost my appetite.They do have a decent number of vegetarian and vegan options, which I appreciate, but unfortunately the dishes I've tried just haven't been my favorites. I did, however, really enjoy their coffee.I'm starting to think I may have just been ordering the wrong things, so I'm willing to give it another shot. Hopefully next time I'll find the dish that everyone seems to rave about. read more

Well, in San Diego, where I was staying this was nearby and had already a lot of reviews. As a breakfast person I always need to pick an amazing place to start my morning. I had to definitely try the Mexican mocha. It was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy exactly what I was looking for. I also ordered the California breakfast burrito and my husband ordered the harvest omelette for us to split. It was more than enough food and we definitely had leftovers. The restaurant was very cute inside and since it was a beautiful day, we decided to sit outside on their patio. The weight staff was kind and attentive. It was very busy however they did a great job, balancing all their tables and ensuring all of our food came out hot and correct. read more

This place, for me, always has 5 stars regardless of which location I go to. They are consistent in flavor profile and plating. The service is always kind and friendly. Always clean and with upbeat music. Absolutely one of the top 5 breakfast spots in San Diego. I can't leave this review without giving a shoutout to the people who make it an amazing experience. Andre served me from the bar. Great guy and great coffee maker! My latte was delicious. I wanna give a special shoutout to Isabela. She was the first person I met as the hostess and she definitely made an impression on ne with it being my first time at this location. She stopped what she was doing to find me a seat at the bar..a lot of hosts won't do that. She put the customer first. I also saw her actively helping wherever else she was needed as the restaurant was busy. She was always happy and smiling. The general manager Gilda even stopped to tell me she appreciated my business and kind words. This place doesn't just have good food it also has amazing energy! read more

Absolutely loved it! Truly a great experience for my late breakfast/early lunch. With my busy schedule, I grabbed a seat at the bar and was treated to amazing service from Meiko! She helped me with my food selection, and her recommended coffee ice-cube drink was the best! The clean atmosphere, great vibes, and wonderful service from Meiko and Brook make this the kind of place you want to come back to every day. Great food, great people, great experience!

Me and my nephew were so hungry I forgot to snap some photos but we had a great experience at this location. I usually visit the location in north park area but this was a nice little change from the usual. There's a large parking lot so parking has never been an issue and it's a great spot to sit and eat at after running some errands in the area. The food is consistent and the staff is great. Our server's name was Faith and she was so respectful and attentive. She brought a great energy to our morning. We ordered the steak and eggs and the American breakfast with a side of french toast. Everything came out pretty quickly even though the restaurant was filling up. I do recommend coming early because the wait can get a bit long, but the whole experience was great. read more

Only came to this place again because my wife loves their Mr. Presley French Toast (PB+banana foster+maple crumble bacon) which she ordered adding a fried egg, that came out cold. She would have sent it back, but we waited close to 30 min for breakfast to come out already. I got the California Breakfast Burrito that is suppose to come with carne asada, eggs & potatoes, but it was pretty much only potatoes. It was literally basically a potato burrito. Our 2 friends thought their breakfast was good. Server was nice. But wished I would have been asked if I wanted a refill for my coffee and they're so busy, it's hard to flag down a server. read more

Probably the best breakfast I've ever had. I ordered the steak and eggs, with the brussle sprout potato's, sourdough toast, and a side of the Jurassic bacon. The steak was cooked perfectly and the butter on top was seasoned so well. The brussel sprout potatoes were so delicious and the Jurassic bacon was probably the tastiest bacon I e ever had. Also ordered the salted caramel latte and it was so good! Excellent service, everyone was so friendly and the rest was very clean, especially for how busy it was. read more

Ordered online for pick up in the morning. Service was not that friendly and I waited around 8-10 minutes until I was helped. All the sauces were missing and if I hadn't checked the bag and run back they would've totally missed one of the entrees. Otherwise food was good since breakfast options are limited in Scripps Ranch. French toast was okay. Coffee was okay. Lots of choices though. Eggs Benedict was meh. read more

Busy weekday morning - good sign for a restaurant. I went in and ordered an Shrimp frittata asked for no peppers. It was a generous serving. Liked it really very much . I asked for a veg side instead of bread/toast. The side veg was good except in it was diced sweet potato - I love sweet potato but did not like the consistency. It was way too mushy. read more

Breakfast Republic is such a cute brunch spot with fun, unique décor that makes the whole place feel lively and inviting. I ordered the Eggs Benedict and the Pancake Flight, and both were delicious. The pancakes came in three flavors -- cinnamon roll, strawberry cheesecake, and pineapple upside-down -- and each one had its own unique, yummy twist. My fav was the cinnamon roll because it had a nice cripsy top and wasnt too sweet. It was pretty busy when I went, and there were a lot of people waiting, but the wait ended up being only about 30 minutes. Overall, the food, atmosphere, and service made it worth it. I'd definitely come back! read more

Breakfast Republic - San Diego Benedict, Mushroom and Pesto Benedict, Pancake Flight - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - San Diego, California

Before heading out to catch our plane back home, we decided on breakfast at Breakfast Republic in the Scripps Ranch (Mira Mesa) area of San Diego. They actually have quite a few other locations in California. We decided on Breakfast Republic because they had quite a few vegan options, which we always appreciate ... and they all sounded rather interesting. Honestly, I don't think there could possibly have been a bad choice, so it was a matter of making the best choice .. for us. Sandi opted for the Tres Leches Pancakes because well, she's a pancakes kinda gal :). I was torn between their Vegan Breakfast Burrito with beef strips, plant based eggs, fakon, vegan cheddar, cashew cream and more .... or the Veggie Pesto Frittata, an open face omelet with various veggies and greens, plant based eggs, sweet'n'sour tomato jam and more ... and ultimately opted for the former. In addition, Sandi pointed out they had vegan Bloody Mary options available woot woot, that's my favorite adult beverage! I opted for the tequila version instead of the vodka version, if only because every version I've had previously was with vodka so I preferred to try something different. The pancakes were fluffy and delicious, the vegan sweet buttercream really helping to elevate the dish! The Vegan Burrito was a monster!! Thank goodness Sandi was able to help me with this because there's zero chance I was finishing this on my own and I preferred not to carry food with me into the airport if I could help it. The burrito itself is huge, cut into two separate equal halves, on top of which you also have the black beans, mexican rice and, salsa - wow, just wow!! Their Bloody Mary was no less impressive, delicious with just the right amount of kick, a huge piece of celery, a gherkin pickle, and olives. If you're lucky enough to be visiting California and have a Breakfast Republic near you, they're definitely worth the visit. Be sure to bring a full appetite and a friend to help as well :) read more

I stopped by this Breakfast Republic location for brunch on Sunday. My mistake was underestimating how crowded that parking lot would be at peak hours. Parking was an intense task since this place shares parking with Trader Joe's, so be prepared for a few laps around the lot. I would suggest carpooling with your party to save some time and space. There are no reservations at this place, only walk-ins. It's first-come come first-served, depending on the availability of seating. My friend and I struck gold and were seated pretty much immediately during my most recent visit. FOOD: Whenever I am at a breakfast/brunch place, best believe I will be ordering an eggs benedict. Portions here were generous, and I walked away with leftovers. Mushroom 'n' Pesto Benedict (3.75/5) - I love mushrooms, and I love eggs benedicts, so of course I decided to order this. The menu claimed that it would contain both button and oyster mushrooms, but I only had button mushrooms on mine. I followed the recommendation to add the asiago chicken fennel sausage for an extra fee, but I hindsight, I thought that was unnecessary. Eggs were nicely poached, but the spinach, mushroom, and red pepper medley was a tad bland. Potatoes were crispy and a little dry, but nothing a bit of ketchup and hot sauce can't fix. Jurassic Pork Benedict (4/5) - Got this because I was curious about "jurassic pork bacon." I am personally not the biggest fan of bacon, but I enjoyed this. It deviates from traditional bacon in the sense that it is marinated in brown sugar. It might sound a little odd, but it really works! I do think I preferred this to the mushroom 'n' pesto benedict since the flavors were stronger. SERVICE: (4/5) I've been to this Breakfast Republic location twice. During the first visit, it was super hectic and crowded, but our waitress was super attentive and sweet. During my second visit, I was a bit let down, even though it wasn't as crowded. While the food was brought out quickly, it took a while for us to receive any utensils to eat with. I think that was an anomaly that happened to fall through a small crack in their usually solid service. No biggie! TLDR// Solid place to get breakfast/brunch with friends (or by yourself)! Parking for this location is difficult but doable. I am willing to come back again, especially to try more of their different eggs benedict options or other local favorites like the chilaquiles or the breakfast burritos. read more

I arrived at 7:30am, knowing my cousin would arrive by 8am. After sitting in the vehicle for an hour, working on some things in the parking lot- it was time to utilize the restroom and grab a table. I approached staff behind the counter after entering& asked if I needed to be seated first, on a weekday morning. After using the restroom, I picked my table inside- even though it was a gorgeous autumn morning- and could've snagged a table at the covered patio. I explained to our server the birthday girl would arrive in 30 minutes and if it was okay til then, to sit and enjoy my cup of coffee. During that 30 minute wait, I worked on more things at the table, and never felt bothered by staff. An occasional checking in on my coffee cup. Thank you for giving my space. :) Cousin arrived and our server, (wish I knew her name) was bubbly, Latina, and I complimented on her beautiful accent. All three of us would chat away, placing our order, laughing about life. I typically gravitate towards shrimp & grits if I see it on the menu, and noticed jambalaya. But, the Power Bowl sounded good too! Didn't seem too heavy early in the morning . When asked how I'd like my skirt steak, medium well- I realized it was well done. The steak is pre cut and served atop golden tumeric cauliflower rice w/ toasted almonds; three eggs any style (over medium); avocado & pickled onions. I was fasting for 16 hours and was just hungry. The skirt steak, not being cooked how I preferred- was tough. I decided not to finish every piece of that tough skirt steak & took the rest home for my bulldog to enjoy. I mean, why let it go to waste? I need to get into the habit of just notifying staff, at that specific moment about a discrepancy in my order. (Still working on being this way). My birthday girl ordered the Pineapple Upside Down pancakes, which sounded delicious. But, when the plate arrived, we were both bummed about the pineapple chunks on top of the pancake stack. When you read/ hear pineapple UPSIDE down cake, you'd automatically think it'd be served as expected. Which would've been cute to see in pancake form! The pineapple ring in the middle of the pancake batter! Our server surprised my cousin w/ coffee cake for her birthday! How cute was that?! Her coffee cake had a side of whipped cream and caramel drizzle! We both thanked her for her unexpected gesture. read more
