Great breakfast place and phenomenal food. Every single thing we consumed was delicious. Their pancakes are fluffy and their jam is delicious. I got the Vegan Jammin Bennie and Vegan Tres Leches Pancakes. My boyfriend got the Protein Lover Scramble and Buttermilk Pancakes. They’re breakfast potatoes are slightly crispy on the outside and so soft on the inside, their food is truly so good and cooked perfectly. Their Iced Mexican Mocha was delicious too
Arrived around lunch time for a late Sunday brunch. Wait time was quoted around 35 minutes but we got our text and were seated closer to 20.
Our server, Juan, was very welcoming and attentive and brought us drinks right away. Coffee was strong and delicious.
For food we ordered the Oreo Cookie pancakes with a side of eggs and bacon, Shrimp and Ricotta Frittata, and a breakfast burrito with Jurassic Pork upgrade.
The Oreo Cookie pancakes were honestly the best thing we ordered. They were cooked perfectly, fluffy and flavorful with crunchy cookie topping on each layer.
To be completely honest, I was not a fan of the Shrimp and Ricotta Frittata. It was soggy which was slightly unpleasant to consume. It also needed a lot of seasoning. The shrimp was cooked well, but the overall flavor was lacking. I probably won’t order that again. The house potatoes that came with the frittata were perfect, lots of crispy potato skins, probably the best house potatoes I’ve had in a while.
Breakfast Burrito was good, but my husband said he wasn’t sure he’d pay to add Jurassic Pork next time. Overall, he wasn’t wowed by it.
Next time we come back we plan on exploring more of their menu and give some other dishes a try. Definitely recommend pancakes and house potatoes!
Breakfast Republic was such a pleasant surprise and easily one of my favorite spots in San Diego! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was a 10/10… warm, lively, and full of personality. It has that perfect mix of cozy and trendy that makes you want to sit back, relax, and stay a while. The decor is fun and creative, and the energy in the restaurant just feels good.
The service was also top-notch. Every staff member we interacted with was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They made us feel right at home, which is something I really value when dining out. It’s rare to find a place that delivers great food and great vibes so effortlessly.
Another thing I really appreciated about Breakfast Republic is that it felt like one of the few places in San Diego with some true diversity… both in the people and the atmosphere. It made the experience even more enjoyable and gave it a sense of community and inclusiveness that stood out.
Overall, it’s a must-visit breakfast spot. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the overall experience made me want to come back. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the food, while tasty, didn’t completely blow me away, but everything else absolutely did. A wonderful place to start your day!
Came here with my girlfriend on a Friday morning for breakfast around 10:00. Indoor seating was about 15 minutes for us, but we decided to sit on the patio which was open. We were given menus as we were seated and a short moment to look at the menu before we had our order taken. We ordered the Breakfast Jambalaya and the Yogurt Bowl. While we waited, we were given water and we asked for an umbrella to be setup for shade from the sun. They quickly setup the umbrella and got the sun out of our eyes. Our wait for the food was maybe 10 minutes. The food was good. The Breakfast Jambalaya was had little spice and some flavor. The Yogurt Bowl was better. The yogurt had a whipped texture (soft and light). The atmosphere was light noise on the patio. I would consider coming back to try more if in the area.
The menu had some uniquely named options like jurassic pork and cluck madame benedict. We were passed up by the hostess for two other couples and the service was slow. Prices were average.
