We wanted to love this since we have enjoyed many of the other locations. I'm hoping we caught them on a short-staffed day. There were only a few tables occupied when we arrived at 1:00 on a Friday but nearly every empty table needed bussing or cleaning. A sign outside said Seat Yourself but there was nowhere clean to sit. The food was not consistent with other BR locations. My husband's Breakfast Jambalaya was tasty but the eggs he ordered over easy were cooked through with dry, firm yolks. The omelette was also overcooked- having a leathery consistency. Server was nice and friendly and the portions were generous, especially the potatoes. read more

Always delicious! Must get the fresh orange juice. I always come here alone for a nice peaceful breakfast

The strawberry lemonade was amazing. there were no seeds or clumps of strawberries anywhere and it was very refreshing. I also had French toast, which was amazing. It looks so good. I couldn't even take a picture because it looks so good. The French toast was with peanut butter topped off with bananas and bacon bits. The drinks came in really quick. The food took a little took but it was reasonable because I came in a party of six. The space was a little crowded, but there is such cute merchandise and cool lights. This is actually really good and I really recommend for breakfast. read more

Great food, the wait staff is amazing and love the theme of this restaurant! We had omelette and pancakes!

Just a standard breakfast/brunch spot. Nothing exceptional nor horrifically bad. I had the American Breakfast. Everything was too salty for me. So if you like, excess salt, this could be the spot for you. My friends had a Benedict and a pancake sampler. For them, nothing special. read more

Well I went to see what the hype was about and I was disappointed . Traditional chilaquiles are made with fresh sauce not from el pato. So that was disappointing and the cookies and cream pancakes had more cookies than any cream. read more

Immediately walking in the vibes were great, and the service and staff were awesome. They were great to talk to especially Andy B. We also got some ube lattes as service so the experience was amazing. Food itself is something I'm introducing to a lot of people to, one of the best ways to start my day :)) read more

First off, let me say that I do love the breakfast republic franchise & have been to several locations in SoCal. Maybe this was just a one off bad day but it took us almost an hour to get our food & everyone around us even seated 20-30 minutes after us had their food! I had to ask the waiter...uh are we getting our food. He checked & said oh they made a mistake with my daughters & we're remaking it but come on we both got shrimp & grits (which out of all the dishes I would think that would be on the quick side to make). Also, why wouldn't u come & tell us that is the reason everyone else has their food but we don't . Now my daughter did ask for chicken sausage instead of shrimp & no eggs but come on that's less work not more. Once we finally did get our food half the dish is the eggs the other side is the shrimp & grits so since she didn't get eggs she just had the small amount of grits & maybe 10 chicken sausage crumbles & again I know she changed it but they could have at least filled the plate with extra grits !! I mean that's just me saying ....as we still paid the $20+ for the dish! We also ordered s'mores French toast for dessert. Now I don't know about you but to me s'mores is chocolate, marshmallows & graham crackers! It was 2 pieces of French toast together like a sandwich & I hoped the inside would be slathered with chocolate but there was nothing inside a little chocolate drizzle on top & there were several toasted mini marshmallows & graham cracker crumbs! It was good with the syrup but to me not enough chocolate. Our waiter was great so again maybe just a bad day as usually I never eat all my food but this day my daughter said that was a good appetizer!! read more

First and foremost. The STAFF is awesome. Our server LIVE was awesome and helpful with questions regarding the menu. The food was Fan-FREAKING-tastic. The jalapeño bacon omelet was out of this world. The cafè de olla coffee was super good. And those pancakes!!!! GREAT. Last but NOT least the mgr Rocky high five on the coffee cake and GO LIONS!!! read more

Came upon this spot via yelp and was curious as what they have to offer. Amazing staff, who are attentive and friendly. Food tasted great and price fairly. Serving portions are shareable and great options for non-meat eaters. Overall, a great experience. Looking forward to next time! read more

The food was very basic for the price. And the wait was 45mins on a weekday. Plus it rained but they still sat us outside in wet chairs

Tried this place for the first time yesterday. Customer service was amazing, place is nice and clean. Food though, wasn't what it was hyped up to be. It was pretty much tasteless. The chilaquiles (spicy) had okay sauce but way too soggy. The beans and potatoes had no seasoning. The presentation of the food is nice. Their ketchup and smore French toast were the only good items.... I'd go back for French toast but that's probably about it. Ohh als, their OJ was pretty good. read more

I saw this place on Tiktok and Instagram, thought I would give it a try! It was actually good! I have not had service like this in a long time! Kaylah nailed it with service, we did not have to ask for a thing. read more

Hello travelers if you're ever in the city of Echo Park may I suggest you come here for their delicious food & great service. Ask for our server Olivia she was outstanding!! read more

Food was fine. I didn't care for the look of my meal. I understand it had pesto but i was expecting sauce on top not the pesto cooked with all the potatoes and sausage. French toast and mimosa was amazing. I do have a pet peeve of orders not coming out at the same time but I know it's just opened but hopefully they will tighten that up. read more

The vegan pancakes are delicious. There's a creamy drizzle on top and in between the sections of each pancake (it may be vegan butter) and there are crunchy tidbits on top (I think they're pistachio crumbles). So yummy! There are three pancakes in total and I was full. The service is great as well! They're so kind, I definitely appreciate that. Will be back. I love the style in the place. The restrooms are so cute and the venue has its own personality. From quirky music to cool designs. It's nice. Oh! And they have biodegradable products (utensils, to go bags, etc.). read more

Neighborhood breakfast place in the space formerly known as the Brite Spot. The food is good, and service (once you are seated) is excellent. The only reason I deducted a star is their inexplicable wait times on the weekend when they have lots of open, clean tables available. They will tell you it's a 25 minute wait for a table and leave you standing around outside when the place is half empty. I'm not sure what the strategy is there. Do they want a line of people outside to make it look more popular? Are they trying to minimize wait times for the food once you're seated? I don't get it. Once you're seated the food comes out very fast! Why not just let people sit down? It's much more comfortable to wait while you're seated with a glass of water instead of awkwardly milling around on the sidewalk outside. Not trying to be too harsh, I like this place! Just offering some constructive feedback. If they ditched this weird wait time ritual it would be five stars. read more

Unfortunately, overhyped. I saw it on instagram and decided to go try it and it honestly disappointed me. The burrito had very little meat and the pancakes are a bit dry. read more

Walked in and there was 5 tables available but w dirty dishes and food. waited 20 mins for service and asked if they can help so we can be seated but Not enough staff. We walked out couldn't wait longer had kids that were hungry and figured if it took them that long to clean a table don't know how much longer would be to actually get out order taken and then food delivered. read more

the food is good i got the chilaquiles be aware u will have a bad experience in the bathroom

Good food and service. Love it here highly recommend the Mr.Presley French toast and the diced potatoes with the spicy ketchup!

Just heard it's closing. Not surprising at all. I gave it a few tries and the service was awful. The last time I was the only person in the place, and after 10 minutes of waiting at a table while an employee sat eating at the counter, I gave up and never went back. read more

Nice little place. First time coming here. Had their french toast flight and shrimp and grits. Food was really good. Service was ok. They did take a long time to take our order and to bring food out. It wasn't packed so idk what took so long. But anyway, I say try it and be your own judge. read more

Matt provided excellent service during my visit--he was attentive and made sure nothing was missing. The food tasted amazing, and everything was just right. I'll definitely be returning for another great meal! read more

Olivia was our waitress and she was amazing! We had no wait time and was seated right away. You can tell the food is completely fresh and was delicious. I'm also a huge fan of ambience and this place was absolutely adorable. The inside was cozy with Edison bulbs hanging down from the ceiling with funny quotes all around. I will definitely be a customer for life! There hasn't been anything I've tried here, that I didn't like. read more

I remember when this location was the Brite Spot. A piece of Echo Park history. I would eat there as a kid and I was delighted to see that it's been preserved. It's now the Breakfast Republic. Very cool and clever decor accompanied by humorous and artsy details. Our server Dustin gets an A+. The food was delicious. With healthy options as well as pure indulgence. Highly recommend this place. read more

My husband and I visited this place for breakfast for the first time and we absolutely loved it. We will definitely be going back. From the service to the food to the ambience, everything was great and welcoming. The waiters were very nice and attentive. The menu had lots of options and everything sounded delicious. The decor was cute and heartwarming. I ordered the s'mores French toast with a salted caramel latte and my husband ordered the jalapeño bacon cheddar sausage omelette with a coffee. We ate everything on our plate because it was so good. highly recommend this place. read more

While the food was good, we had terrible service! Our waiter Libby did not check on us once, even when she was next to us she didn't even acknowledge us when we tried to get her attention. The tables next to us seem to be considered as she would asked them if their meals were okay or needed more water. We weren't asked if we needed anymore water or drinks. And only refilled our water as we were leaving ( like why would need water now that we are leaving) and paid for the food. Definitely won't be coming back to this location she saw the we only left her a small tip and she seem bothered by that when actually we should've left 0 for the horrible service!! read more

Kaylah was amazing! It was my first time and she was knowledgeable, professional, kind and smiley! Definitely will be coming back because of Kaylah and the great food! read more

Good vibes. Terrible food. Literally could not finish my plate and I am always a plate clearer. Eggs tasted kind of strange... potatoes were so bland and not cooked with any kind of salt. Had zero flavor. Bacon was good, their ketchup sauce is so gross I couldn't hold it in and my face was stuck in one of those "ew" faces (I know annoying) I am never this person, but my girlfriend and I both couldn't finish our food. I got the American and she got the California burrito. read more

Trash is an understatement. Ordered over easy eggs they showed up over hard. Food was insipid. Salt couldn't save it. The floor felt dirty. Gave a chance hoping they'd be something similar to The Bright Spot at least breakfast wise, but no. Had the chilaquiles. They were soggy and the sauce had no flavor. The server which was nice enough asked me how I liked it as I was leaving and I said, I usually don't say much if I don't have anything nice to say. And he was like, yeah I get it. Don't waste your time on the waitlist not worth the time or the money. read more

Kaylah was great very kind and attentive her customer service is amazing! and the food was 10/10 will be coming back shout out to Kaylah for the recommendations read more
