Such a fun and lively atmosphere! I ate there on December 30, 2025. There was a long line and about 7 groups of people waiting, luckily I was by myself and was able to get seated at the bar! I got the California Breakfast Burrito with a side of Jurassic Pork. The portions were massive! I was able to take the other half of the burrito on the train back to LA. Don’t miss out on the Jurassic Pork, it’s delicious! Service was alright, the bartender was busy with a lot of drinks but he was attentive to my requests. I would definitely return when I’m back in San Diego!

Breakfast Republic absolutely brings together great food, great vibe, and truly standout service. First off, Kayla deserves a massive shoutout, she was phenomenal. Friendly, attentive, and genuinely thoughtful in everything she did. She checked in at all the right moments, made sure everything was perfect, and brought such positive energy to the table. Experiences like this are rare, and she’s absolutely the kind of team member who elevates the entire restaurant. Seriously, give her a raise! What we ordered: Orange juice & coffee – refreshing and a perfect start Protein pancakes – absolutely amazing, fluffy and satisfying Chicken fennel sausage with scrambled eggs – flavorful and cooked perfectly Side of turkey bacon – crisp and delicious Side of French toast with strawberry and mascarpone – sweet, creamy, and indulgent in the best way The food was delicious and tasted incredibly fresh. You could really tell the ingredients are high quality. On top of that, the place has an awesome vibe lively, welcoming, and perfect for a relaxed breakfast or brunch. Between the food, the atmosphere, and Kayla’s exceptional service, this was an easy five-star experience. Can’t wait to come back.

We were lookin for a place to have breakfast while visiting San Diego from Texas. We walked in to this place out of the blue . We got seated asap (table 2 ) and we had phenomenal service. Everyone was working together which was a breath of fresh air. From the host to the server to the bus boy. Everyone seems looks happy to work there and all had great attitude. Food was amazing as well! Highly recommend the Bacon Pancakes and my wife loved their Cafe de Oya. Will definitely be back.

Overall, the food was good. The Shrimp & Grits were good just different because I never had corn in my grits. I wish the potatoes were seasoned and cooked a little longer. I loved the coffee!!!They give you large portions. It was really busy but the wait was not that long. The downtown location seems smaller than other location. It was really clean and is located in the heart of downtown.

Service and hospitality was great from everyone. Food was delicious. Mexican Mocha coffee was really good, the OJ was freshly squeezed and superb. Breakfast burger was thumbs up! I got the cinnamon roll pancakes and was impressed. It was not overly sweet at all and very good. The line was long but moved quickly.
