Short on time review: Hawaii girl says food was delicious and wholesome with great flavors in their hot sauce and jelly. Go early and you'll have the restaurant all to yourself. Hot sauce was so good! It's a slow heat build up but once it hits, you're sitting here wanting more but also need to question if you can handle more! Keep in mind, I love hot sauces. The jelly: smack it on the sourdough English muffin with their butter and ohhhhh boy! Ube latte: a little miss for me. Still has the ube flavor but compared to Hawaii Ube lattes, I cant say I absolutely heart eyed this. I came right at 7am on a Friday... no one but me and the whole restaurant to myself. I enjoyed it since the attention and service was directed to me. Great spot to go before adventuring up the coast. read more

Eclectic, and cool! The ketchup-style sauce (their words, not mine) was popular with my family. I really liked the chilaquiles... still crunchy when it came out annnnnnd very good sauce on it. Overall a good breakfast stop with nice portions for a decent price! Would recommend! Stay Cheerful read more

Great place to have brunch with friends from the friendly service and it easy to find , a tip on parking if you are not there early you will have to park further on the other side for parking but it shared with a shopping center so you get what you get . Food A nice size portions . my favorite is the processco mimosa with guava . Or yeah food huh, duh . If you like to try things this lovely skillet meal was the shrimp frittata.. that's just me being greedy and coffee cake is a twist but delightful ... Eat up peeps read more

The food, service and atmosphere was fantastic!!! Never had a bad meal yet!!! We only had a 15min wait today!

This has become one of my new favorite spots. I was the first time and didn't know what to order so I decided to do the flight so I could pick three different pancakes or French toast. They did not have waffles. I then decided to get something more than the sweets and decided to go with the BR Sammy. From first glance, even with the hole over the egg was such a delight, but when i took that first bite i was in heaven !! read more

My love for Breakfast Republic will forever remain undying! One of the best breakfast spots I've ever been to. Stumbled upon them a few years back while staying in Encinitas and it's a staple on every one of my trips now. The classic Benedict with Jurassic pork and a side of the blackberry jalapeño jam is my go to. Fluffy English muffin, sweet and savory thick cut bacon, perfectly poached eggs and creamy hollandaise with rosemary potatoes on the side and that sweet and spicy kick from the jam? SIGN ME UP! Their American breakfast is also just so flawlessly done every time, that it's an easy choice to keep it simple but delicious. Also the strawberry cheesecake pancakes are perfect if you want dessert for breakfast vibes. Lastly their coffee cake is some of the best! Light, airy crumb, delicious crumble on top, and generously portioned also. The last thing you HAVE to try is their cafe de olla. Cinnamon-y, brown sugary flavors in the best brewed coffee I've had anywhere, it's a must try. The restaurant itself is spacious, has indoor/outdoor seating as well as bar top seating. Their staff is friendly and efficient, even when they're packed. An all around amazing breakfast stop! read more

One of my most enjoyed breakfasts EVER! Food expertly prepared, hot and delicious. We had shrimp&grits with eggs and breakfast jambalaya. Definitely recommend. Elizabeth was enjoyable, professional and kept the coffee de olla flowing it was a fun new coffee experience, also a must try. 5 star environment, food and service all the way. read more

Our first back breakfast back in Carlsbad or Encinitas, we were hungry because we had to fast all morning before LabCorp. Jose was a very good server, the only reason for the four stars was, I thought that all the food was just a tad undercooked. My wife had eggs Benedict and I thought the English muffins were as soft as I've ever felt. My pancakes, acceptable pretty nice taste but the sausage that I ordered on the side was truly uneditable. Jose was nice enough to take it off the bill and to take it back. Latte and coffee just what we needed. Parking, easy and a nice big lot, interior lots of tables maybe just because it was a Thursday after breakfast. Good place to try if you haven't gone I just wouldn't order the maple sausage. read more

This place was awesome! The food was really good and the service was even better! Elizabeth was awesome! She was attentive and knowledgeable, and genuinely seems like she loves what she does! The atmosphere was awesome. Her energy was contagious and we left there in a better mood than we were when we got there! We will definitely be back.! read more

Elizabeth was awesome. The food was great, the service was even better, and she really made us feel special. We came in to celebrate after the birth of our baby, and she went above and beyond to make it a memorable experience. She was friendly, attentive, and genuinely seemed happy for us. One of the highlights was that my wife was finally able to have runny eggs again after going without them throughout her pregnancy. She absolutely loves runny eggs, so it was a pretty big moment for her, and Elizabeth made it feel even more special. Little touches like that, along with her kindness and attention to detail, really stood out. We had a great meal and an even better experience. Thank you, Elizabeth, for helping us celebrate such a special chapter in our lives. We won't forget it! read more

I love going to this location. The food is always wonderful and the service is exceptional. Jose and Amori helped me this morning. Jose gave me suggestions on what to order by sharing his favorites and Amori kept my coffee full with great conversation. I ended up ordering the jambalaya because it was one I was choosing between and it was delicious! I can't say enough great things about this location! read more

Everything was good! I got the Portuguese Linguisa Sausage scramble, it was really delicious with the potatoes & brussel sprouts. My bf got the American breakfast and he devoured it in 5 minutes. What really stood out for me was the orange juice that was freshly squeezed. It was really good and sweet! Even the jam for the bread was to die for. Overall, it was a nice breakfast. Good price, good service, and high quality food. read more

My family and I were seated in a section where the supervisor, Elizabeth, was serving our table. From the moment she approached us, her demeanor was unprofessional and discourteous. Upon arriving at the table, she abruptly set down the water jugs and asked, "What do you guys want?" in a manner that felt rude and dismissive. When we were ordering drinks, a member of my party politely asked whether the matcha was served hot or cold. Elizabeth responded, "Well, either way," in a sarcastic and unhelpful tone. Later, while we were attempting to place our food order, she interrupted us by saying, "Wait, hold on!" in an aggressive manner. Due to the ongoing poor service, I requested to speak with a manager. Elizabeth informed me that the manager was out and would not return for an hour. When I asked who the manager on duty was, she stated his name was Esteban and again said he would not be back for an hour. Rather than attempting to resolve the situation, Elizabeth continued to argue back and forth with me and my family members, which further escalated the negative experience. As someone who identified herself as a supervisor, I expected a much higher level of professionalism, customer service, and conflict-resolution skills. Instead, we experienced rude communication, dismissive behavior, and an unwillingness to address our concerns appropriately. Elizabeth seemed like she had not showered hair was all over the place and it looked dirty. Her clothes seemed dirty and she works with food this is very disgusting and a health hazard when serving food! I would appreciate a review of this incident and a response regarding any corrective action that will be taken. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. read more

Food: My husband and I came for breakfast on 11/27/2025, yes, open on a Holiday! My husband ordered an omelet dish with sausage and an espresso drink. I ordered a spicy blood Mary (so good!, plus coffee,) and the jurassic Benedict breakfast with upgraded potatoes with Brussels & bacon, which is one of my favorite. Very flavorful. Service: It was Ok, Laura was very professional and friendly. She did come over to see if things tasted good but I had just taken a drink and my husband said everything was good. Ambiance: Fun and modern. Noteworthy: My husband's hot espresso drink was cold, like it had been sitting around for an hour, we flagged Laura over for a new one. My breakfast was lukewarm, the upgraded potatoes and eggs, I HATE when it's lukewarm & its not the first time, I keep forgetting to tell them I want it hot, I dont think I should have to say it but I do like coming here. I want to see steam rising from my food, lol I didn't want to complain after the cold espresso, so I ate some and saved some to heat up at home because it is flavorful. My husband's food was hot, so I imagine mine was ready first and his was freshly served hot while mine cooled off. read more

We had an excellent breakfast experience at breakfast Republic. This is our second time to come here. The food was outstanding. I especially enjoyed the sourdough muffin with jam. I ordered the Portugese linguisa sausage omelette. It had a little bit of spice, but the flavor was fantastic. The vegetables served with it, including squash, corn, carrots, and onions, paired perfectly with the omelette and we're just as enjoyable. My husband ordered the protein omelette and really liked it. Overall, the experience was excellent. The staff is very attentive, friendly and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. Jose was especially wonderful and provided great service. We would definitely come back again and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a delicious breakfast and outstanding customer service. read more

Another great Brunch morning with the family! This place is beyond tasty and also feels welcoming and relaxing. They are consistently busy but always prioritize each table-- the consistent great service ( today one of our favs Aram!!) and food, fun drinks and atmosphere make it an awesome spot every time! My boys would eat here daily if they could! You have to give it a try!! Our favs the tres leches pancakes and chilaquiles! read more

Ughh... I wish I liked this place, only came back because a friend picked it. I only ate the food because I was so so hungry, The California breakfast burrito on their menu lists "skirt steak" as the first ingredient and maybe every 5 bites I got a piece of steak. Some of the potatoes were raw inside. The rice still had a bay leaf in it and the rice was day old rice that held together cause it was in a container of some sort. It was not good I wish it was good but things here seem to just miss the mark for me, I still ate the food because I hate to complain and my friend invited me out to breakfast so I didn't want to be rude. People I know seem to love it but my experiences here have been just okay unfortunately. The coffee machine needs to be cleaned because the coffee was so bitter My first California breakfast burrito ever and it wasn't flavorful all that, nothing has any depth of flavor here. It just is what it is. Rice takes 30 minutes to make just make it fresh and don't serve people the bay leaf and not break up the rice. It was lazy, and the service is lack luster Ambiance is the only okay thing about this spot and the bathrooms are dirty, and the serving plates' paint was chipping so I don't think that's a good thing for consumption I know I said I wouldn't come back last time but this time I really mean it. Sorry read more

We were looking for a hearty breakfast with options and we found it here. Open from 7am-2pm daily. I really enjoyed my breakfast burrito with beans and spanish rice, which also came with a side of red sauce. My companion ordered the vegan pancakes. Our staff attendant was super present for us (filled our water cups at least twice, bussed our tables and came by our table least twice to check on us) And it was busy. Lots of great menu choices; a must try if you are in the neighborhood read more

Great food with even better service from Aram! Such a fun eatery with cluckin' good decor!

Awful food! They need new management! Disgusting place! Second time trying this place. Wont ever go back. Smelled like Fabulosa when we walked in so we decided to eat on the patio, which was grimy. Coffee was cold. I had the worst eggs Benedict I've ever had in my life. Yuck! Servers don't care if you're happy or not. Such a shame! read more

urassic Bacon Breakfast was delicious--easily the highlight of the meal. The strawberry ricotta French toast was just okay; it was a bit dry, and I honestly expected the portion to be bigger. The strawberry avocado toast was interesting and different. Overall, the food was solid, but the service was just okay. read more

3.5 stars. This breakfast restaurant has an eclectic breakfast menu. If you prefer to have filling, savory brunch kind of foods for breakfast, come here. They also have a vegan menu. Service is good and quick. Lots of parking in the parking lot if you just drive around enough. The ambiance and atmosphere is nice - spacious, airy, cutesy slogans on the walls, etc. The food is decent but quite heavy on the salt. We ordered the shakshuka special, the sausage omelet and the steak power bowl. The shakshuka was excessively salty. With the accompanying pita bread, the salt was not as obvious but there were 3 pita pieces which I finished in like 5 bites and then a whole 3/4 bowl of salty shakshuka to eat. When we had the leftovers later, there was even more salt because now the dish had marinated in it. The sausage omelet was good and a pretty big portion too. The potatoes that came with it were heavily salted also. Some of those pieces could not be eaten given how salty they were. The steak bowl was fine. The cauliflower rice had the opposite problem in that it didn't have enough salt! If you guys are able to figure out your salt game, the food will get rave reviews. read more

Our food was cold. Our waiter was very good but the food was cold as ice! The 3 stars are from the waiter, not the food. The coffee was good n strong but once again our breakfast was cold and the restaurant didn't seem to busy. We had a table of 8 and it was recommended by 4 of the 8 people in our party. They even said the food was much better the first time they ate there. read more

Went on Sunday morning, there was no wait. Staff were super nice, great service. Ordered the Portuguese scramble and substituted the toast for buttermilk pancakes for additional ~$4. Coffee was stronggggggg even for me (avid coffee drinker) so I had to order hot water on the side to mix. Gave crayons and coloring sheet for my toddler which was a nice extra touch! read more

if you haven't been here before, what are you doing?!?! this place has the BEST breakfast!! i've been here more times than i can count because the food, service, ambiance is always SO good! the food is trendy, but not crazy with the creations which is nice because it feels & taste like you are at a diner, but an upscale diner haha! the customer service is always amazing! they are always friendly and work very fast while providing great service! there is usually a wait, but if you go after the rush so around 1pm/2pm there shouldn't be a wait or at least a long wait! my food recommendations: the house potatoes are a must with their signature ketchup (i like the mild for an extra kick)! the pancake flight is a great option to try their different, unique pancakes! my favorite is the strawberry cheesecake and bacon! warning: when you go here for the first time, you won't be able to stop going back! read more

I came to this location for breakfast this morning, I ordered the Pineapple upside down pancakes and my friend ordered the Jalapeño bacon cheddar sausage omelet. The omelet was mouth watering, It had a ton of flavor and was super tasty, it was accompanied by the house potatoes which were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. My pancakes were decent, I felt like it mostly tasted like the buttermilk pancakes with a hint of pineapple every few bites, I wish it came with a side or more flavor to add diversity to it. The mexican mocha I bought was super good though, I recommend trying it if you go.The service was very kind and the manager was super friendly and moved a chair out of the way without a second thought for my wheelchair which I appreciated. The vibes in there were pretty chill and laid back, overall a solid experience! read more

I love eating out for breakfast. And I had to look up to see what kind of place we could eat for breakfast. I am visiting here from LA. Just down for the 4th. Well my meal was just awesome. I had the jalapeño bacon and cheddar sausage omelet. With a side order of grits. Those grits oh gosh. So So good I have to learn how to make them. They are to die for. Everyone else's meal they said it was good. Good for me they have a location not too far from where I live. They are only open for breakfast and that's my favorite meal of the day. I love the openness of the place and the decor is different and the yellow chairs I like. Our server Aram was awesome. He answered all our questions. Since it was our first time here. He explained the menu. We always ask what's your favorite to get an idea what to get. Just on point Aram was and just very attentive which I just love that type of service. So yes if your in the area here if you get Aram tell birthday boy said hello. Last but not least. That ice cream he surprise me with a free dessert. Just a nice touch from him as a server. Thanks again Aram for your service and good gestures and very easy to talk to which is always a plus. Keep up the good work sir. So check this place out everything looks good here. I always looking at the plates that come out to the tables. Plus it's really nice out here perfect place to retire the beach cool breeze just feels nice. Great place for a convertible. read more

I had such an amazing experience at Breakfast Republic that I feel that I have to share. My husband and I drove up for the night because we are having a csection in the morning. We decided to go to our favorite breakfast spot Breakfast Republic. At first I was disappointed to know they no longer had the mashed potato omelet I had loved so much. I ordered the eggs Benedict which did not disappoint. Our food was soooo good. Now to talk about our amazing waitress Elizabeth (I don't know if shes a manager but if not she should be) she was so kind, had great small talk with us and just an enjoyable waitress. Before we left she came over with a card that everyone had signed congratulating us on our baby girl and wishing us luck tomorrow. I was in such shock by this kindness that it took me awhile to process. Let me tell you that it absolutely made my day because you dont get this kind of customer service. This is a moment of kindness I will always remember. Thank you Breakfast Republic and Elizabeth for making this nervous moms day! read more
