If your mornings could benefit form a little comfort food, Breakfast Republic’s cinnamon roll pancake recipe will hit the spot. It’s one of the San Diego restaurant’s top sellers.
Known for their innovative breakfast menu, bright colorful décor, and humor-cracking signage, Breakfast Republic continues to grow as San Diego’s breakfast destination for locals and visitors to flock to every morning.
The menu at all locations represents a collection of nostalgia-inspired dishes served with a twist to make them unique. Take the Shrimp & Grits Breakfast for example, or the Breakfast Mac & Cheese. On the sweeter side, their pancake flights and French toast flights continue to fly out of the kitchen constantly, with flavor options such as Oreo Cookie, Cinnamon Roll, S’mores, and Lemon ”˜n Coconut.

I love it when San Diego restaurants share recipes so am happy to pass this one on to you.
