The Breakfast Republic in North Park is the best one. They have the best staff and the food is consistently cooked exceptionally yummy. They have dishes that cater to special diets. If they put your name on the waitlist stick around bc they tend to over estimate their wait time. I love the quirky atmosphere. I have to eat glutenfree and they have the yummiest gf cinnamon raisin French toast....I also like to play around with the rooster syrup dispenser....they have fun quirky merchandise....you will quickly get addicted to the food here.....and yes you can order a half order of something to add to your meal if your eyes are bigger than your appetite.....oh and definitely get their fresh squeezed oj.......

Great waffles. Lots of different options with vegan and gluten free options. Not just sweet waffles also savory. Staff is very friendly and patient. Not huge portions or very heavy. Definitely recommend you come and try their waffles.

Actually came here for Yelp event and took an order to go. It was just the plain Buttermilk Pancakes and Whipped Mascarpone topping. I actually wanted the red velvet pancakes but they don't have those to go to avoid any cross-contamination on their griddles at the back. The custom flavors are only available for stove top. To go orders were for gluten-free or buttermilk pancakes only. That said I actually really loved even those buttermilk pancakes so I can only imagine how good the red velvet must be! Just the right amount of sweet and I didn't even need to add any toppings on it. Mascarpone was perfectly smooth and delicious on its own as well. Really looking forward to coming here and making my own pancakes sometime soon.

Sip on quality brews in a vibrant atmosphere; this spot's a local gem, though snagging a table may be a challenge. They've even got a small gift shop!

I was pleasantly surprised by the brownie, especially since I am usually skeptical of gluten-free products. I highly recommend it! The cold brew was also great and the ambiance of the place was really nice.
