We recently tried out the Liberty Station location of Breakfast Republic. I've heard a lot of great things about them so I was excited to stop by for their after 3 PM menu.
Their after 3 menu consists of a limited menu of their most popular dishes. The portion sizes are also smaller and price reflects that. It's the perfect way to try a couple dishes with someone. Plus their drink menu is half off. $3 for a grapefruit Bellini? Sold.
We tried out three dishes: the pancake flight (apples 2 ways, churro and buttermilk), trio of French toast (marscapone and strawberry, gluten free cinnamon raisin and brioche) and their breakfast mac and cheese. We chose two "plain" options for both the pancakes and the French toast because it's easier to judge the standards versus others we've tried.
Out of all the pancakes my favorite was the churro and my boyfriend's was the regular buttermilk. All the pancakes were light and fluffy and cooked perfectly. I loved both the brioche and marscapone french toasts. The brioche is probably one of the best simple French toasts I've had. I'm typically not a sweets person but the smaller portion of the marscapone was the perfect amount for me and didn't need any extra syrup. My least favorite was the gf cinnamon raisin. Don't get me wrong, it was still delicious but I felt like it needed a bit more cinnamon and raisin.
The breakfast mac and cheese was also delightful. The noodles were perfectly cooked and the mild cheese was perfect for a breakfast meal. The scrambled eggs on top were a tad dry but the dryness suited the dish because the eggs soaked up a lot of the cheese sauce. I thought this was going to be a fairly heavy dish but it was shockingly light for mac and cheese. Don't know if I could eat the full sized portion for breakfast but it hit all the right spots for lunch and dinner.
Overall it was a great meal on a nice and breezy day. I don't know if I'd stop here for breakfast (I've heard the wait can get insane) but we will definitely be back for the after 3 menu and more grapefruit bellinis.
