Reviews For Breakfast Republic

Breakfast Republic is an overall great breakfast place. We went on a Wednesday morning and it was not super busy however there was a generous amount of people. Jose was our server and he was very friendly and helpful. They didn’t have a children’s menu but Jose gave us a recommendation for a plater which we were able to divide and split it into smaller portions for our 3 boys. The portion of food is a little big for my preference but for my husband it was perfect. He is a breakfast person so the food and presentation hit the spot. The overall experience and space of this restaurant was great. Everything was on theme and brand. Including the restrooms. If I was a local I would return. I think a few recommendations I would give is having a kids menu with really basic options. But this recommendation is not a deal breaker. Thank you Jose for a fantastic service.

We absolutely LOVE Breakfast Republic! I have a gluten allergy and they do a phenomenal job at accommodating! Even our gluten eating friends love all their options! Jose is our usual server and he does a fantastic job. He is very kind and attentive. We have been consistent customers for years :)

It's great to visit California to eat some good Mexican food. And Breakfast Republic did not disappoint. I had one of the house specials, Chiloquiles. Way too much food to eat. It's nice to get a lot of food for your money these days. Sitting outside on the patio is refreshing and they don't rush you out after you finish your meal so you have time to visit with the people after your meal. Coffee was a little stronger than I'm used to but tasty. Servers are friendly and attentive.

Best gluten free French toast ever! It was so good, I was doubting it was gf! I have not enjoyed French toast that much in decades. Cinnamon raisin with bananas foster on top. Amazing Avocado toast always good. Scrambled eggs and bacon perfect Good server. Attentive enough

I love this restaurant. The service was perfect. The decor was really fun. The food was great. I had the Elvis French toast and it was one of the better things I've ever eaten for breakfast. They did a really good job of balancing the peanut butter with the banana with the bacon. Each bite was perfect.

Food is a solid 10/10. Service was top-notch and not overbearing. The atmosphere was welcoming and creative. I ordered the shakshuka, and it was cooked magnificently. Ordered a churro pancake too which was also pretty good.

This place was an absolute win. Their Valentines special was absolutely delicious as well. This place deserves a five star. We had to wait about an hour to get in, but with the COVID breakout it is inevitable but understandable because the wait was completely worth it. Services and cleanliness was great as well. In addition they allow the use of bathrooms too. So even with the outbreak they do a great job with managing to keep this place going with the outbreak. To add as well they got heaters outside near the chairs to keep the area warm for our winter season. Do not sleep on this place and get out there and get some great food here at Breakfast Republic!
