Breakfast Republic is a top-rated spot for weekend brunch, serving up delicious breakfast favorites with unique flavors. Their breakfast sandwich, strawberry cheesecake pancakes, breakfast burrito, and breakfast bacon mac n cheese are standouts, with generous portions and fresh ingredients. The jammin Bennie and veggie frittata are also great, featuring lots of vegan options and huge portions. Drinks can be swapped with oat milk.
Breakfast is a cut above the norm with imaginative dishes prepared with obvious care, though the coffee could be better. Customers should be ready for seasoned cubed potatoes, as they come with most dishes. The service is friendly and attentive, with staff like Gloria, who is very helpful and quick. The atmosphere stands out with eclectic, hip décor and upbeat energy, including cheeky signage and mismatched chairs that spark conversation and smiles. It’s a lively spot, especially on weekends, perfect for casual meetups, team brunches, or solo coffee-and-pancake moments.
Menu highlights include inventive and bold options such as Bacon Pancakes—sweet, salty, and indulgent—Lemon Coconut French Toast—tropical and dusted with powdered sugar—Breakfast Sammies stacked with eggs, cheese, and savory meats—and loaded potatoes and veggie scrambles that are hearty and colorful. Mimosa Flights add a playful touch for sharing. Portions are generous and plating is Instagram-worthy, offering something for every palate, whether craving protein-packed classics or sweet brunch treats.
While the atmosphere and service are excellent, some customers note that the selection of seasonal vegetables could better match the season, as options like white onions and corn, though tasty, are less colorful and not truly seasonal. Expect to spend around $20–30 per person, especially with drinks, which is justified by the quality, creativity, and portion sizes. The restaurant has multiple locations across Southern California, including Los Angeles and San Diego, maintaining a lively and fun environment. Though wait times can be long on weekends, arriving early or joining the waitlist online is recommended. Overall, Breakfast Republic is a celebration of breakfast with bold flavors, playful presentation, and a lively atmosphere—ideal for those seeking a memorable brunch experience.
