Great spot for breakfast with lots tasty and creative vegan options and vegan Bloody Mary - Edit
Before heading out to catch our plane back home, we decided on breakfast at Breakfast Republic in the Scripps Ranch (Mira Mesa) area of San Diego. They actually have quite a few other locations in California.
Read moreWe decided on Breakfast Republic because they had quite a few vegan options, which we always appreciate ... and they all sounded rather interesting. Honestly, I don't think there could possibly have been a bad choice, so it was a matter of making the best choice .. for us. Sandi opted for the Tres Leches Pancakes because well, she's a pancakes kinda gal :). I was torn between their Vegan Breakfast Burrito with beef strips, plant based eggs, fakon, vegan cheddar, cashew cream and more .... or the Veggie Pesto Frittata, an open face omelet with various veggies and greens, plant based eggs, sweet'n'sour tomato jam and more ... and ultimately opted for the former.
In addition, Sandi pointed out they had vegan Bloody Mary options available 🤗 woot woot, that's my favorite adult beverage! I opted for the tequila version instead of the vodka version, if only because every version I've had previously was with vodka so I preferred to try something different.
The pancakes were fluffy and delicious, the vegan sweet buttercream really helping to elevate the dish! The Vegan Burrito was a monster!! Thank goodness Sandi was able to help me with this because there's zero chance I was finishing this on my own and I preferred not to carry food with me into the airport if I could help it. The burrito itself is huge, cut into two separate aequal halves, on top of which you also have the black beans, mexican rice and, salsa - wow, just wow!! Their Bloody Mary was no less impressive, delicious with just the right amount of kick, a huge piece of celery, a gherkin pickle, and olives.
If you're lucky enough to be visiting California and have a Breakfast Republic near you, they're definitely worth the visit. Be sure to bring a full appetite and a friend to help as well :)
Pros: creative and flavorful variety of vegan options, vegan pancakes, vegan Bloody Mary

great options, but.. - Edit
i really enjoyed the veggie and pesto frittata and appreciated that there was a section of the menu dedicated to vegans. the pesto was good and the eggs were realistic, rather than some rubbery eggs i’ve had at other places.
Read morethe only downside was that i found a piece of plastic in my food? my guess is from the top of a container (perhaps the egg bottle?), but the server took it off of the bill immediately and i ended up not having to pay for it.
it was a good meal and i like the options there, but they should be more careful about watching the cooking.
Pros: vegan portion of menu, fast service, easy to navigate
Cons: may be a bit careless..?
