"I moved to LA for a job relocation in Jan 2020 from San Diego so I have been going to various locations all around SD since 2016-17 when they first opened and it's still one of my favorite breakfast spots. I was happy to see when it opened in Irvine and now finally it's in LA. Not only a taste of SD but straight up delicious food. There are other places for Mom's birthday breakfast but in terms of a casual breakfast it's hard to beat Breakfast Republic. To start thespeciality lattes are awesome. My personal favorite is the salted caramel and I get it often. They have some of the best Eggs Benedict, specifically the Cluck Madame, and make sure to add avocado. Throw on some cholula hot sauce and youhave a perfect bite. The Gruyère cheese is such a nice change for this dish the combo between it and Hollandaise is heavenly. I love their pancakes or a sausage as a side as well. Doesn't matter which one you choose they are all amazing.The Jurassic Pork is delicious too it's pretty much candied bacon but always a nice addition to any of the breakfast choices. I also think they have some of the best breakfast tostadas I have ever had. The tostada is always crispy, theblack beans and salsa are full of flavor and being able to choose your egg preparation is a nice change for the dish which makes this one unique and delicious. Our eggs were slightly over cooked this time but know it's a new kitchen sothings like that happen. In short some of the best Eggs Benedict, tostadas, and lattes and for a fair price. I have been over 60 times over the last few years and will continue to go it's delicious I mean what else do you need?"
