Maybe the best pancakes I've ever put in my mouth. Stylish location, great service

I went in today for breakfast and Angela was an amazing server! She served us with so much kindness, respect, and happiness! Definitely coming back here again! Thanks Angela!! (: read more

First came here while on vacation years back, and after visiting a few other locations I can still say with confidence this is the best one. The location is amazing, the servers are very nice and the food is of course the reason I keep coming back. The savory is great here but the sweet breakfasts are my preference, cause they're the perfect level of sweetness! My personal favorite is the Banana Split French Toast but if you're BIG on peanut butter then I highly recommend the Elvis. Recently tried their cafe de olla as well and it's amazing, warmly spiced and perfectly sweet. This place is so far out of my way but it's always so worth the trip. read more

Flash back to several months ago, I called to see if I can set a reservation, and although the automated message says they do not do reservations, I decided to just ask anyways. Lance was able to make it happen and accommodate our group of 12 for a bachelor party. Flash forward to our visit to San Diego and they took great care of you. Not only was the food delicious and healthy portions, they started our experience with a complimentary bottle of champagne to toast the bachelor. Definitely a great touch to the visit. I highly recommend the Morning Buzz cocktail. Most of us ordered other drinks and by the time we were ready for the next round, everyone was asking for the Morning Buzz. Personally, I had the Chicken Fennel Sausage Scramble and I thought it was delicious, and it helps that there was a lot for me to eat before a full day of partying. Kassi took great care of us! She always made sure we were okay and if we needed anything. I really appreciate the accommodation!! read more

Breakfast Republic is our must go to breakfast spot every time we come down to visit our son at school. One of our friends told us about BR and we were not disappointed. Everything I have tried has been great, love the Bae Mac and the Portages Omelette. But what I crave is the café de Ole, the GOAT!!! Everything is made fresh and with attention the detail. The vibe is amazing, if I had a restaurant, it is exactly as I would set it up. The staff is great, especially Jeremy, try to sit in his section if he's working. Highly recommend Breakfast Republic,, no question 5 stars read more

Came here for my friend's birthday breakfast! The French toast was delicious and came with fresh jam and whipped butter. We got the chicken, fennel, sausage omelette, and it was delicious. Highly recommend the potatoes. They were 10 out of 10. I could not stop eating them and I'm not the person to eat a lot of potatoes. They were able to accommodate everyone's dietary needs. Stewie was our amazing server and he was hilarious, hospitable and prompt. We so enjoyed our time here and will definitely be coming back when I'm in town. Thanks for starting my friend's birthday off so special Stewie ! read more

The food here is Bomb! Big open format upstairs with a fun vibe and open industrial bar. Airstream trailer kitchen facade which was cool. The service was excellent. Never went without! Good Job Michael V. I ad the Crab & Crabfish Cake Benedict! I substituted the Brussels Sprouts Potatoes instead of the house potatoes. Such a good call. DO IT!!! You won't regret. My son had the Chicken and Toast which was the seasonal special. It is crispy chicken thighs made with gluten-free flour served with two poached eggs topped with a creamy chipotle hollandaise with petite cilantro, and Escabeche, which spicy pickled carrots all served over a buttered brioche toast. This was delicious! We also had a side of Jurassic Pork (Bacon). It is dusted with paprika and brown sugar. So tasty! Definitely coming back for more! Cheers! read more

Solid spot for a weekend breakfast or brunch. Definitely coming back! read more

Service was wonderful. Our waitress was naturally sweet and attentive. The sourdough English muffin was light and crispy and the protein scramble was good, albeit a little more overcooked than I like my eggs but it had a decent amount of meat in it. They are upstairs in a commercial looking building from the outside but a great open space! Our dogs were allowed on the patio outside, upstairs. There is an elevator if needed that they can call down if needing to use it. If not, take the stairs! read more

Ocean Beach has gone commercial, and honestly, that's alright! I had breakfast at Breakfast Republic, and wow, the menu is loaded with so many amazing dishes it's hard to choose. My group tried a bit of everything: eggs Benedict, a pancake bonanza featuring churro pancakes, classic pancakes, and chocolate chip pancakes. We also got a ham and egg sandwich paired with some seriously tasty house potatoes. The highlight? A massive cup of coffee that practically screamed "Ocean Beach" with every sip (check out the picture for the vibe). If you're hunting for a breakfast bonanza in OB, Breakfast Republic is the spot! read more

My family and I ate here while vacationing in San Diego (10/25/25). We heard that it was the place to go and since we do our best to go to local favorite restaurants when we travel it was a no-brainer situation. The Ocean Beach location was close to our hotel so here we are. First, I love the downtown street of OB where the restaurant is located. The buildings gave me a small beach town vibe and I especially liked the outside of Breakfast Republic. The unassuming warehouse type exterior looks well loved and there were some egg chairs outside so we knew we were at the right place. Going in there's more seating in case there is a wait but it is also a fun photo op! As you go upstairs you just feel a good buzz in the atmosphere. People were laughing, the the clinking of utensils on dishes, yummy food smells and so many fun things to take in from the Selfie Wall that screamed out "Run, Cock, Run" or the large windows that were open to the street. The Food Trailer visible on the far side (guessing that is the kitchen) and the merchandise wall (that I noticed later) made me super excited. I knew I was going to like it here. We took quite a while to look at the menu and our server, Kassi, was so patient with us. She brought crayons and a coloring paper for my nephew to keep him occupied and answered our numerous questions about the menu and the dishes we were looking at trying. She never once rushed us to order or even finish and leave and this experience was truly enjoyable. Mom and I ordered the cafe de olla, the Mexican coffee with cinnamon and piloncillo (which I learned is a Mexican cane sugar). It was yummy and was served in a fun cup with all sorts of funny sayings. The bottom even says "You can't make everyone happy you are not coffee." My dad got the house coffee in another fun cup. The front has the Breakfast Republic Logo and the back has 3 levels of coherency: 1) Unable to communicate in full sentences 2) Slightly more coherent but still unable to hold a conversation 3) you may speak now. This made me laugh so much so I asked Kassi if it was available for purchase and she kindly informed us of the merchandise wall. Of course I needed to get the coffee mug to add to my collection. When I got home and washed it I noticed the underside message that says "definitely booze in this cup." Since I took it to work to use, it is perfect and it makes me smile every day. I enjoyed my coffee; the cinnamon gave it a nice spiced feel (but not overboard) and Kassi shared with us the secret syrup...ok, not really but I'm going to try recreate it. My sister was the outlier and got an iced ube latte. I liked it but it wasn't her favorite. So food then..... I have the hardest time making decisions when it comes to breakfast cause I want to eat everything! After much back and forth with myself and discussion with my sister, we decided to share so I got the french toast sampler which allows you to choose 3. I chose the brioche, s'mores, and strawberry & mascarpone. My sister got a seasonal sauteed vegetable scramble which came with potatoes and fruit. Between the 2 of us it was a lot of food but we ate most of it. My parents both got different eggs benedict so they could share. The baby ate some of everything. Initially we were given a scramble with meat but since we had started to eat it before realizing it was the wrong dish, Kassi told us to keep it and she would bring the vegetable scramble. It turned out fine because my nephew ended up eating most of that one. He also at most of the brioche french toast and a little bit of potato. I really liked the S'mores french toast and especially liked the cute rooster pourer for the syrup! I was pretty impressed at how much food we ate considering we had an additional meal. We ended up taking home some potatoes, a little scramble, one eggs benedict, fruit, and 2 new mugs and a flask. All-in-all this was such a great experience - from the fun egg chairs at the entrance, all the IG worthy decor, merchandise, the awesome service, and especially the yummy food! I am going to keep Breakfast Republic on my "to eat in San Diego" list and I look forward to coming back here! read more

I don't think there's been a single time we've been to ocean beach where we didn't stop at breakfast republic. The food is amazing, doesn't matter what you get but I recommend the crab Benedict. Immaculate atmosphere and lovely staff! read more

Came here for brunch and was seated quickly on a weekday. The interior is very cute and unique. I like how there are sinks outside of the bathroom section. Their water cups have their logo on it and have a cute rustic vibe (without being actually rustic). They have a huge menu. I got the Mr. Presley French toast and the serving was huge! My mom got the shrimp and grit frittata and the serving was huge too. (But keep in mind we are petite Asian people haha) I thought the French Toast was super decadent, but to the point where it was kind of sickening. This is probably because it wasn't really my cup of tea and I'm not the biggest peanut butter fan . The flavors were weird but were actually very yummy all together. There could have definitely been more bacon though. Otherwise, very yummy! The potato's that come with the frittata are deep fried, so they are kind of like cut up wedge French fries. I thought they were very good and crispy. The toast that comes with it is nothing spectacular, just a slice of bread. read more

Came on a Friday morning and service was sllooowww. We waited for awhile to be seated and then another while to get service and then even more awhile to pay. Once we got service, though, everyone was super friendly. Trendy place with lots of lights and a huge menu. They have outdoor seating where I saw people bring their dogs to. They offer 2 types of coffee that come with unlimited refills which was clutch! I ordered the chilaquiles with carne asada (highly recommend) and it was more than enough! The chips were crispy while still smothered in sauce. We also ordered the cinnamon pancakes to share and that was dangerously addicting. I love how their pancakes were somewhat crispy when you bit into it, not just a sponge like texture. I would come again when I have time to spare, otherwise, unsure if this would be my go-to breakfast spot in the area. read more

Very helpful service, really nice and respectful. Made sure to check in on how we were doing. Servers name is Maggie.

Great service Maggie helped us right away thank you so much !!!!!!!!!! We appreciate u

Typical Breakfast Republic. It is upstairs in the heart of OB. We sat "outside". It is a small covered patio with high walls. No ocean breeze or sunshine. It is dog friendly. We were sat at the only clean table. Multiple staff members came out and looked at the tables piled high with dishes, and then just turned around and let them. The host has finally cleaned one of them so she could set people. Well, she removed the dishes. She didn't wipe down the table. My table was also not wiped down as my menu kept sticking to it. Wait, about 20 minutes for the weight staff to acknowledge that I was there. They took my order and I didn't see them again until it was time to pay the check. Another waiter offered me water since I was never offered any. I had my dogs with me also and they were never offered water either. The host staff were very pleasant and friendly. I ordered shrimp and grits with the eggs on the side. I've eaten it many times at other locations and it was pretty typical. I also ordered a side of Jurassic Pork. One piece was cooked correctly. The rest were all overcooked. Which is disappointing cause it's one of my favorite things at breakfast Republic. It is street parking and pretty limited, especially on the weekends. I didn't have a weight, but it was a Friday late morning. read more

I spent all morning looking for a good breakfast spot in SD because we are not here everyday. I saw this place and coming from OC, said I do not know because we are not obsessed bc the lines are usually pretty long. Got there and I think we came right before the rush, and was blown away. Let me go through the reasons why: 1) The menu caters to whatever you are craving: vegan, healthy, sweet, savory, sweet+savory (!!!)...so for an indecisive person, this actually worked well! I want sweet pancakes, but usually want to eat eggs for breakfast, so the fact I could get my omelette and add pancakes for only $4 without getting a whole order, I was very satisfied! 2) The coffee was not expensive like the rest of the world! $4.75 for bottomless cafe de olla, $5.00 for an amazing vanilla/chai/mocha latte- yesss! Jackpot! Even if you get 16 oz, $6.75! 3) such a cool, hip and fun interior! Love the open air with cool decorations 4) everything was tasty! We ordered the shrimp and ricotta frittata, and they did not skimp out on the bacon, the asparagus or the shrimp! And what's best is we shared it with the added pancakes and still had pancakes left over 5) last, and most importantly, the service. This I pay attention to everywhere we go! I have been to places where it is not busy and the server forgets to refill your water, but Angela our server took care of us. It got busy right after we sat, but she still came by throughout our meal to check on us. She kept my yummy cafe de olla filled up, and made sure we were doing well throughout our meal. Bridgette the manager even came by and was so sweet! In summary, I beg of management to please open more sites in OC! Particularly north OC near orange/placentia. And please give the manager Bridgette and her server Angela extra kudos because on a busy day, they took extra care of us. And if you are in SD, check this place out! You will not be disappointed! read more

What's up: Kicking off the weekend with breakfast at Breakfast Republic. The pics online looked good, so here we are! Parking: Street parking. Environment: Once you enter the building, take the stairs up and check in with a staff member. We were seated towards the center of the restaurant, near the bar. They have a mix of table/chair seating and booth seating. Restrooms are located to the right of the kitchen area and clearly marked; you'll also pass by the display of swag you can purchase, including the cute rooster syrup jar. The decor is nice with lots of chicken themes and even part of an Airstream built into the kitchen area. What was ordered: - Protein Lover Scramble (yummy) - French Toast Sampler (nice mix of different types of French toasts - Mushroom 'N' Pesto Benedict (good) - Hot Green Tea (soothing) Yay/Nay/Meh: Yay. The food was cool and the ambiance was really nice. Staff members were friendly. Credit cards are accepted. read more

Plenty of parking. We arrived on Labor Day Monday @ 1030 am. Restaurant is located upstairs. Employee controls freight elevators for those individuals challenge in mobility. Once you get upstairs hostess booth but nobody to greet you. Waited approx 15 minutes for employee. We learned they had no food runner, no hostess and no busboy. We waited approx 25 minutes for a table and seated to a wet table. We asked if manager is assisting and person informed us she is the mgr "look at my burns from today". All mgrs should be assisting including the owner. Bathroom issue. No female bathroom. Closed. Only male restroom. Food was good except fresh fruit was not good. We left 2 full plates of fruit. Strawberries were sour & melon no taste. Mgr served us our fruit plates & a grape rolled off the plate to the wet table. Mgr decided it was ok to pickup the grape with her bare hand and place it back the plate. I immediately removed off the plate. We won't be back read more

I finally made my way to Breakfast Republic. This popular breakfast concept has locations all over Southern California. This particular location is in Ocean Beach and is a short walk from the beach. The restaurant has egg-themed décor with vibrant colors. In the lobby are some egg-shaped chairs that make for fun photos. We came for Sunday brunch and didn't wait too long to be seated. Breakfast Republic does not take reservations. Breakfast Republic's menu includes American breakfast classics with a twist. They get really creative with some of their dishes. Some items include Oreo Pancakes, Shrimp & Grits Breakfast, Tres Leches Pancakes, Jurassic Pork Benedict and S'mores French Toast. They have a little something for everyone to choose from. The drink menu has a nice mix of coffee drinks, local beer, cocktails and organic kombucha. I ordered their popular Chilaquiles with a Ube Latte. The food was really delicious. We had a nice time here and I look forward to checking them out again next time I am in Cali. Breakfast Republic also has gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian items on their menu. read more

Kassi was amazing she was super sweet! The food was great and came out very quick and the vibe of this place is super chill!

The hostess and server were so pleasant and quick to help us ! Once my family of 5 with 3 dogs was seated we were told to keep the dogs to one side and then a couple minutes later after getting situated the General manager Lance made sure to make sure we knew he's in charge, telling us to move seats , tapping at his name tag to let it be known "he's in charge " , poor lil guy was on a power trip. The food was good! Yummy potato's and vibes. We almost left because of the GM. He should probably go through some training and have to work his way back up so he can learn how to properly treat guest and serve people. read more

Came here for breakfast on a weekday with our two kids. One of the kids is 1.5 so she still needs a high chair. We were brought to our table after a few minutes of waiting and told a high chair would be grabbed for us. At least 5 minutes went by with me visibly walking around holding my 1.5 year old and no high chair. We then asked another waitress and she said she'd get one. She then went to another table and started chatting. Another 5 minutes later we asked another waiter and he went and grabbed one for us. This just really put a damper on the experience. The waiter who got us the high chair ended up being our server and overall he was pretty good. My shrimp and grits was excellent, my husband had the mashed potato omelet and said the filling was lacking but it was good. So overall food was good. A running theme just seemed to be meh service though. I saw another table have a customer physically bring her credit card and bill to the waitress because she had been waiting to check out. read more
