    Burnt....nothing tastes good after the burnt taste. Smh
    Nei T.

    I'm soo sorry but I had to share. I would have let it go because our first experience was fabulous. However the manager on mother's day was so unapologetic I decided the mishaps and insane waiting times needed to be addressed. 1st. (7:30 am) I came in with a great attitude, asked for the hot coffee with whip cream and we ordered our food immediately because we were soooo hungry. 2nd. (8:o7 am) another guy (manager?) came and asked what we ordered, he said "hot, right? Refering to my coffee order and several minutes later came back with an iced coffee. REALLY? I reminded him that I asked for hot and he was ready to fix it, but 40 minutes in I was like "JUST GIVE ME CAFFEINE" time continued to pass us by and I struggled with releasing the angry black woman or staying calm. Just as we were going to cancel our order (or go postal) our food arrived, burnt jurassic ($2 upcharge) bacon and all. (After 9 am) It was SOOOO BURNT everyone recognized the problem immediately...except the chef. Like seriously, who serves burnt bacon...ON MOTHERS DAY to boot. The only positively thing I can say is the food is outstanding. I love the cluck burger. Their flavors are the only reason I may return .... next year. I need consistency...especially in a time when breakfast is easily $50- $100 for 2. Only customer service can make it worth the hassle and on this day it was a total FAIL!!!! So please....DO BETTER.!!!!!!!

    Walked by this busy Friday morning and noticed the counter was available so I was seated right away. The drink menu offers plenty of options and I went with the iced caramel latte that is amazing. Soon after ordering, the food arrived with plenty to share if needed. The chilaquiles is a local favorite and I understand why. The flavors are outstanding. This place gets really busy at times so be prepared for a little wait. Give them a try.

    Went here a couple of days ago . Shout out to Instagram for the advertisement. Because breakfast republic is a gem. Surprisingly the wait wasn't that long on a Saturday . The seating area is a little small but not too bad. I order a cocktail called the breakfast buzz basically an espresso martini. It was so good l alcohol and coffee ratio 10/10 I ordered bacon pancakes ; excellent I have nothing left to say other then it's a MUST

    Another place that I would always walk or past by whenever I'm in Belmont shores. Finally gave in and tried it out. The beginning of the week as it was still pretty early and plenty of tables open. There's a small parking lot next to it as well as but both metered street parking along the front as well as parking in the neighborhood. Just read the signs to be safe as I've been seeing lots of cars getting parking ticket. Monday just around a late breakfast and plenty of tables which it was still a wait to be seated. There was a host and a couple of the waiters working. The restaurant is an open concept feel. Main dining area has the bar as well as the patio. There a side dining area which all has the outdoor feel. They also have merchandise along one side of the wall for purchase. Menu wise, pretty much breakfast. I'm not sure if there's a separate menu for later on or if that was it. Service was nice once we got taken care of. It's a looked like a full bar where it could also be utilized for a meal as there's seating along the counter. Food, one of the omelets. Portuguese linguisa sausage, applewood smoked bacon, sausage, tomato, green bell peppers, herbs and the BR cluckin "good hot" sauce served with house potatoes and toast with butter and jam. It was quite tasty and flavorful. The omelette was also a nice yellow color compared to others. Also had an order of the breakfast jambalaya with shrimp, Portuguese sausage, rice, red bell peppers, and roasted tomatoes sauce and topped with three eggs any style and green onions. This dish was tasty with nice big shrimps not bay shrimp. A nice touch with the eggs, rice was flavorful. Staff were all friendly and food was nice. Love the plates that the meal comes on which literally everyone's looked massive. Restroom is located along the walkway of the kitchen so waiting is along the side. It does pick up fast so weekend can be a good wait time.

    Once again they delivered. Popped in on a Friday morning for breakfast. The weather was perfect, it wasn't to crowded. We waited less than 5 minutes to be Service was dialed in. Attentive without hovering, friendly without forcing it...they had the rhythm down. You can tell when a spot runs smooth, and this place does. Now let's get into the real reason we're here : the food. I ordered the Jalapeño Bacon Cheddar Sausage Omelet with a side of classic pancakes, and yeah...this combo hits. The omelet was loaded with flavor, perfectly cooked, and had that nice kick from the jalapeño without overpowering everything else. Pancakes? Soft but with a crispy sear, warm, and exactly what you want on the side. My wife went with the French Toast plus Brussels sprouts and potatoes sweet meets savory done right. Everything came out hot, fresh, and seasoned on point. No misses. Side tip: ask for the real maple syrup. Game changer.

    Parking is available on the street or at the public parking sections on 2nd street pay at the kiosk or download the passport parking app. This visit was way better than the last we sat at the bar and our server was amazing and attentive. Order: Protein pancakes Crab/shrimp cake benedict w/ added avocado & tomato and upgraded the potatoes to brusell sprouts potatoes The american breakfast All huge portions great flavor especially the protein pancakes which were my new fave its made w/chocolate protein powder dates topped with chia seeds coconut bananas too Great experience this time around I recommend

    Awesome brunch and bloody Mary's. Wait staff are friendly and accommodating. Love the kitchy decor and phrases. Jambalaya, chilaquiles and pancakes were on point. See ya again soon BR

    We first heard about Breakfast Republic from family members who live in San Diego. They took us to one down there and we loved it. When this location opened up near where we live we were thrilled. This is our go-to breakfast spot. We take family and friends and I have also recommended it to co-workers. It can get busy in this area of Belmont Shore, but since we usually get there pretty early we usually don't have to wait and we find parking in the small lot. It is decorated nicely and the staff are always extremely friendly and polite. They do seem to be stretched thin at times. My wife gets the same thing every time haha...pancakes, side of bacon, and cafe de olla. I usually get eggs benedict and I have tried most of their different options of this dish over the years and they have all been stellar. I have also ordered the chilaquiles and the traditional breakfast of eggs, bacon, and potatoes and never been disappointed. We highly recommend this place!

    First impression last! I like the atmosphere, very homey, chill vibe. The food is straightforward, comfort food. Good coffee which is important. I wish they improve the service.

    One of my favorite breakfast spots, it's close to the water so the patio seating gets a nice breeze or you can do the indoor seating. Food is good and it super expensive. I really like the ambiance and service is really good, very friendly.

    My wife came across this place on instagram. We decided to come check it out. It look good on instagram and it sure taste good. Good joint for breakfast. Staff is really friendly and welcoming. The manager walked around and checked up on us. I saw that they offered cafe de olla and I asked our waiter if I can try it. He went to go ask and sure enough I was able to try it. I ended up getting it. Food was on point. I'll definitely be back.

    This one day, I was craving breakfast....but like a different kind of breakfast that hits different and Breakfast Republic hit the spot! It's one of those little restaurants that make you feel at home. Thankfully, I went on a day when it wasn't busy at all, so I was seated right away and I chose to sit at the cozy bar area. First off, I was dying laughing at their Christopher Walken "Easter egg" outside for those who get it! If you go here, you'll know what I'm typing about! LOL! Okay, back to my review where I left off at the bar seating... I was greeted by 1 White dude and 1 light skinned black chick, whom I totally forgot their names!!! It's been killing me because I should've noted them on my phone! But yeah... the guy really nice and the lady was very welcoming while also recommending what they liked from this place. All around is the most random decor and art...from their merch booth, to their Albert Einstein quote. There is a really cool uplifting quote on the wall that reads: "Never left success get to your head and never let failure get to your heart". Many people these days need to learn from this; especially when they're leechy clout chasers and ungrateful parasites over idiots and social media influencers as opposed to people who have legit been there for them. But that's another story! LOL! Sorry, that Breakfast Republic quote really hits home with me and I LOVE IT! The cool lady server at the bar recommended that I try her favorite... their Breakfast Jambalaya! It was loaded with some nice sunny side up eggs atop some jambalaya with shrimps, sausage, etc. that had a damn good kick in heat and flavor to it! It definitely showcased a reason for me to come back and want to try their other stuff!!! 5 stars all around! Oh yeah... their parking is small & a hit or miss, but try your luck with the other spots around; but my advice is to basically try to go when you know many people will not go.

    Absolute must try. Love coming here. The service is always amazing and the food is delicious. The only thing I don't like is the wait. There's always a long wait. So don't come hungry lol. That said, the service does not lack. They are on it. Been here a couple of times and it never disappoints. I've had their Power Bowl, Steak-n-Eggs, and the Chilaquiles. Every menu item I have had was a 10/10. My favorite is the Steak-n-eggs. They have indoor and outdoor seating. I've sat in both. Prefer sitting on the patio. It's not a big space. They also have an espresso machine to make any coffee you desire.

A very welcoming vibe upon entry, we were greeted by a friendly couple who answered our questions about popular drink flavors. We decided to go with a Hot Cinnamon Dulce Latte and an Iced Blueberry Lavender Latte. While waiting, there were plenty of chairs, tables, a comfy couch and even a bar area to sit and relax. Tons of board games, books and wonderfully mellow music helps make the experience feel comforting and inviting. Our drinks were prepared quickly and shouted at the coffee bar for pickup. The presentation was great, but the flavors, out of this world! The Cinnamon Dulce Latte was OUTSTANDING. So good, in fact, that my girlfriend stole it from me! Not to worry, her Blueberry Lavender Latte was also top-notch, with a smooth, not-to-sweet flavor combination. Friendly staff (which comes with occasional karaoke renditions from the Bluetooth speakers), a chill vibe and outstanding drinks make this a top spot in the area for hardcore coffee lovers. Check them out!

I started with a cup of their beef and barley soup. My wife and I both make this at home from scratch and we're both impressed by theirs. My wife took a taste of mine and instantly ordered her own. Very rich and flavorful. I kept looking at photos of their take on chicken and waffles and knew I had to try it. Seriously epic and was good as it looked. They coated the chicken in a chili rub that gave it a sweet and spicy flavor when paired with their maple syrup. Served on top of a waffle and topped with an egg. I loved it and would probably order again on my next visit. My wife had the American plate which was your classic eggs, bacon, potatoes, and sourdough toast combo. High quality ingredients elevated it beyond your typical diner food. Drinks were great too. I had their house made bloody mary which had a nice kick to it. My wife had their brunch version of a Corpse Reviver cocktail. After our meals were done we finished with an Irish coffee since everyone was ordering them. Perfect service, relaxing atmosphere, and delicious food will definitely have me returning very soon! Parking is free for 2 hours at the nearby garage on 3rd and is a very short walk. The closer garage on Broadway is not free. You can make restaurant reservations on their website but it wasn't needed when we went.

TLDR; It's expensive, and not worth the routine visit, but worth the one-time stop in to experience the festivities. The Miracle pop-up at The Ordinarie is somehow even more decorated and extravagant than you'd expect from a seasonal pop-up. The line looks long outside, as there are no reservations, but it moves quickly since they hold everybody to a pretty strict 2-hour time limit. The drinks are good, the cups are cute, and everyone is festive. It's an all-around fun experience.  I think because of this, you do pay a premium price tag for food and drinks that are just good or okay. I think it's something that is worth the visit if you've never been and you enjoy getting into the Christmas spirit. I think that outside of the pop-up, The Ordinarie is a fun spot to check out in Long Beach. It't not a pillar of the food scene if you're a tourist, but it is a good, late night spot if you work in the industry nearby. They have a great late-night menu with a killer smash burger.
