Breakfast Republic

Founded in San Diego’s North Park in 2015 by Rise & Shine Hospitality founder Johan Engman, Breakfast Republic has grown into one of Southern California’s most popular breakfast chains. The menu riffs on morning favorites with dishes like Oreo pancakes, shrimp and grits, and crab-and-crawfish cake Benedict. Whimsical design and a full bar have helped it expand across San Diego, Orange County, and Los Angeles, with Texas next on the map.
