One of the best coffees I've ever had! I got the house cold brew and the quality was quite surprising. Definitely a place I will be back to visit. Thank you! read more

Fantastic coffee and pastries. The chicken pesto panini was great. Love the vibes too! Great addition to Old Town Monrovia! Definitely a must visit when in the area. And make sure to say hi to Naomi if she's working - great service and super patient explaining the menu and drinks. 5 stars all around! read more

Republik Coffee - Great - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

I am so thrilled to live so close to downtown Monrovia to be able to enjoy all the local restaurants and cafes on weeknights and weekends. The area is so nice and everyone is so friendly. I bookmarked Republik Coffee for the longest time but haven't gotten around to waking up early enough on a "ME DAY" (no kids, no sports, no school events, no volunteering, most importantly no work) to stop by. Sunday morning @ 10:30am - I was lucky enough to find a parking spot right in the front of the restaurant so that was great! The line was out the door but it wasn't anything too crazy. I was able to place my order within less than 5 minutes, which actually gave me enough time to look at the menu. I wasn't too hungry as I usually don't like to eat that much in the morning, so although they have a great selection of breakfast items, I settled for side of two eggs and Turkey Sausages, and of course a cup of London Fog Latte for my IG photo. #PhoneEatFirst Food Rating? I had actually contemplated in ordering the full breakfast for my review. It was actually only $18 so totally inexpensive but I simply don't think I could eat the sides of potatoes, toasts and even an avocado. Wasting food is the last thing on my mind, so I ended up ordering breakfast sides. Surprisingly, it came out nicely plated! I am such a HUGE egg person and always on the haunt for the prettiest egg yolks so the eggs definitely passed the test today! Lol. Perfectly IG photo pleasing so i give that a 10/10. Their Latte? A MUST TRY! It was not too sweet and served at the perfect temperature. I really did enjoyed this so another 10/10. I love the morning vibes here and definitely feel like I was brunching at my favorite cafes in L.A or Pasadena. I highly recommend Republik Coffee in downtown Monrovia! Two thumbs up! read more

The truffle mushroom & Brie signature toast was rich and earthy,. The creamy Brie paired perfectly with the savory mushrooms and truffles. The salmon cucumber toast was light and refreshing . The turkey club panini was warm, crispy, and generously layered with turkey and fresh toppings. Drinks were just as enjoyable -- the black vanilla latte had a smooth bold flavor. The açaí smoothie was refreshing, fruity, and blended perfectly. Overall, a great spot for brunch or a coffee date. read more

Cute coffee shop in Old Town Monrovia with a really nice atmosphere. I ordered the Vietnamese cold brew and actually really enjoyed that one. I also tried the matcha, but personally it tasted a little too much like plain milk for my preference. I mentioned it to the cashier, and she was so sweet about it and offered to make me a different drink, which I really appreciated. Overall, it's still a nice spot and I would come back again to try some of their other drinks since it's in the area read more

Republik Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

I've been to the Pasadena locations a few times and they've always been super consistent. The space itself is cozy with a subtle luxury feelthe square paneling with gold trim gives it that classic Paris café vibe without feeling overdone. I also appreciate that they make their syrups in-house, unlike a lot of newer coffee spots. If I'm paying $8+ for coffee, I expect that level of detail instead of using standard syrups like Monin or Torani. The coffee itself is solid nothing tastes burnt, and you can actually taste the crema, which tells me the espresso is being pulled properly. I'm not usually a fan of cold brew since it can lean more acidic and slightly sour, but the sea salt balances it out really well. Service was friendly and efficient my drink came out in under 5 minutes even though it was pretty busy. I'd definitely come back. read more

Good coffee, rushed service, and really cramped inside. I just got a hot mocha and it had a really good chocolate-y taste to it while still keeping a coffee taste. The food smelled amazing but the prices were a bit much for me (I was already spending a lot that day). The service wasn't unfriendly but they were clearly very rushed. This is a hot spot on a Saturday morning! I was hoping to have a nice coffee and reading time at a cafe vibe but the inside is small and cramped and it was drizzling when I went yesterday morning. They do have tables outside in the front potentially in the back from the looks of it. There's a location closer to me in Burbank so I'll definitely be back to try other drinks and hopefully some food! read more

Salted cold brew cloud: More on the sweeter side. I love that that foam and harder to swirl so that you can adjust the amount of sweetness mixed in cold brew. Americano 8oz: Soft stronger in flavor compared to other americanos. Their standard is 2 shots of espresso. read more

Republik is really good but a very pricey coffee shop. Breakfast for two of us was around $57. Everything they're serving up looks delicious, from breakfast dishes to pastries. I had the tuna melt and appreciated the perfect crisp on the bread. They do offer it in either a half or full, and next time I would order a half because it's pretty filling. We also enjoyed the breakfast burrito. The real winner for me was the Strawberry Matcha Cloud. The strawberry flavor along with the matcha was just wonderful. They have a nice little back patio to enjoy your meal, and everything came out pretty quickly despite the long line. I just felt that the price points could be a bit lower. read more

This place is okay. I had the turkey club and an espresso tonic. The espresso was good, but nothing out of the ordinary. The turkey club did not really impress me either. Overall, it is passable. They do have some tables, but the space is on the smaller side. If you are trying to eat and also work on a laptop, it might feel a bit tight. Parking is not too bad since there are free public lots nearby. Personally, I would recommend other cafes in the Monrovia area first. read more

Republik Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

Love this new location! There's a super cute back patio so make sure to check it out. It's a smaller space as compared to the one in Pasadena . But the more intimate setting creates a more noisy and energetic atmosphere. This is my 3rd time here since soft opening and the food quality is on par with the other 2 locations ! My only complaint is the butter croissant is almost too buttery. It's very rich as compared to other croissants of similar caliber bakeries and cafes. Service is good. There is live music on Saturday afternoons so I really enjoyed that ! read more

Republik Coffee - Inside of store - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

Came by to get coffee before the night market started on Friday evening. Line was short, and staff was attentive. I love the minimalist decorations. They also sell cute products, such as water bottles. We ordered a hot cardamon oak latte. The coffee came out to be very tiny, but it cost closed to $9 with tax. To be honest, I wanted to try the strawberry matcha cloud, but it cost $9.25 plus tax. That would be too much for me. The coffee I got is decent, nothing stand out, not worth for what I spent. read more

We haven't been here for quite a while, and I'm happy to say the quality is still very consistent. The food was good, and the service remained warm and welcoming. My son's favorite breakfast plate once again earned his full approval -- always a good sign! We'll definitely be back. read more

Really enjoyed my visits to Republiq Coffee! The pistachio latte was excellent -- smooth, balanced, and not overly sweet. You could actually taste the pistachio flavor without it being artificial or overpowering. Definitely something I'd order again. The mushroom brie toast was also a standout. It was generously topped with mushrooms (which I appreciated!) and paired really well with the creamy brie. It felt substantial and satisfying, not skimpy like some café toasts can be. The other food have been beautifully presented and tasty. There was a long line when we arrived, which seems to be pretty common here, but it moved steadily. Even with the crowd, we were able to find seating outside, which made for a really nice, relaxed atmosphere. Overall, a great spot with quality drinks and food -- worth the wait. I'll be back! read more

Republik Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

I have been waiting for Republik to open here in Monrovia. The coffee is delicious with some unique flavored drinks. I'd say a top favorite for me is the salted cloud cold brew and the Vietnamese coffee. This place has a trendy clean aesthetic with a beautiful tile counter. The staff are super friendly and happy to help you decide on a drink, pastry, or food item. Speaking of food. We also grabbed breakfast. I did a breakfast plate and my wife did the chilaquiles. Both were delicious. I'll definitely be adding this in my rotation of coffee and food. read more

Republik Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

Visited Republik coffee today for the first time which is the latest edition to the Monrovian high street experience. Actually I had no intention of stopping by as I'd already hit the El Diablo taco restaurant on the same street, so I was rather full after my taco-styled breakfast. Nonetheless there's always a good walk that will shake off the effects of a few tacos. So what attracted me to the Republik coffee house? I think it was the line waiting to place their order and the fact this was new so I decided to join in to get the experience. The cafe has a rather skinny look to its floor plan although they also have an outside patio experience which is at the rear of the cafe. Despite the waiting time (10mins) I ordered a latte and an almond cake. The coffee experience was really good-- they serve their coffee in a nice cup and saucer which always makes the coffee taste even better in my opinion. Their beans have (I believe) an Ethiopian aroma which is a strong lasting flavor. Republik also has an extensive food and drinks menu -- enough to fit most people's expectations. Actually, I think I need to go back and try the breakfast as I saw a few people tucking into this dish which made me feel hungry again! Overall the experience was good -- maybe a little challenged on the floor space but overall a good adventure! read more

Republik Coffee - Republik Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

TLDR: cute, clean small café, a bit too loud for studying. Drinks sound good, but flavors (rose matcha $7.5 and pistachio latte $7.5) are milder than expected. Parking can be tricky; either street parking on Myrtle or a parking lot on cross streets. Republik is a cozy, clean little café in Old Town Monrovia with about 6-7 small tables and free WiFi. The space feels bright and welcoming, and the service is pleasant and friendly. It's a nice spot to catch up with a friend, though it gets loud and echoey, so it's not the best place to study or work for long stretches. Parking isn't the easiest, you'll likely need to find street parking on Myrtle or use the public lot on Lemon. We ordered the rose matcha latte and pistachio latte. The rose matcha uses ceremonial grade matcha and their in-house almond milk (which is really good), but the overall flavor is very mild. After the first sip, it mostly tastes like lightly flavored almond milk -- the rose and matcha aren't strong or concentrated enough. I noticed they pour matcha from a premade bottle rather than whisking it fresh, which could explain the muted flavor. The pistachio latte is similar. I can barely taste pistachio, though you can see real blended nuts at the bottom, which I appreciate. The coffee itself is solid, but overall I wish both drinks had a stronger, more pronounced flavor. Would give both drinks 2.5/5. read more

What was formerly Sunday's Old Town Bistro in Monrovia is now Republik! I came by here after lunch with a friend, so we didn't order anything to eat, but picked up drinks to enjoy. They have some yummy looking pastries and their menu includes some toasts, bowls, and sandwiches, as well as a couple special entrees available only on weekends. They did a nice job of remodeling the space to make it feel spacious and modern. There are a few seats indoors and a cute outdoor patio. I ordered the hot Purple Caramel Latte, my friend wanted the Sea Salt Hazelnut Cappuccino, but was told that they don't have anymore hazelnut and actually that item is no longer being offered. Not sure why they left it on the menu... so she just ordered a cappuccino. I enjoyed the latte, it was very tasty and not too sweet. My friend enjoyed her cappuccino. The food looks good too, so I'll have to make it a point to stop by for lunch in the near future! read more

This is a nice little cafe in old town Monrovia. it has indoor and outdoor seating.

Beautiful coffee shop with a covered patio, bakery items and a menu of real food. Staff was super friendly and helpful even first thing in the morning. They were out of the Brazil cold brew, so I settled for the house cold brew, blueberry almond cake and a side of scrambled eggs. Cold brew was nice and balanced, The cake was moist and a had a different texture than a normal cake. Took a sec to process, but ended up liking it. The eggs were cooked perfectly and seasoned well. I'd like to return to try a few different items, hopefully the Brazil is available. Cafe is a little on the pricier side, but with everything being made on site, makes it tad easier to understand. read more

Huge fan of the Republik in Pasadena so I was thrilled to hear they were opening another location in Monrovia. Came on a Saturday afternoon and there was plenty of seating. Service is great and the drinks were solid. There's plenty of parking in the back, and street parking if always an option if it's full. There's no wifi access on weekends though, which was interesting. read more

First time here and so happy to see one in Monrovia! The owners were also working to ensure operation went smoothly. Crowded and limited tables, so please be patient. Love all the pets I saw during my brunch here. We ordered Pistachio latte Lavender/matcha latte Dulce de Leche French Toast - NOT SWEET AT ALL, it was DELICIOUS Chilaquiles - DELICIOUS, but they forgot my greens (avocado). Sweet enough to bring it on a separate plate. 10000% come back again! read more

This is another location of Republik in old town Monrovia! As downtown locations are, parking may be hard to find on Myrtle Street. If you go behind the coffee shop, there is a public parking lot with 3 free hours between 8AM-5PM. Be careful not to parking in the restaurant parking lot. I was surprised how full it was on a Tuesday morning. It was also very loud. By the afternoon, they turned the music volume down. Coffee is decent. They also offer food options, which are IG-worthy. Another plus is the baristas are friendly! Free parking Free WiFi Toilet available Credit card/tap accepted read more

I had an adequate experience at Republik Coffee (Monrovia). I ordered the Pistachio Latte ($7 - Iced). It's espresso with roasted pistachio syrup and pistachio crumbles. Its caffeine is weak like a Starbucks' mocha. This coffee did not wake me up. I arrived at Republik Coffee (Monrovia) on Tuesday (around 12:40PM). This afternoon, parking felt challenging despite the many options. Lines of cars were competing to take spots for the lunch rush. There's a rear public parking lot that's fairly huge, but it took several minutes of scanning until finding an available parking space. Staff is very professional, friendly, and hardworking. Staff (receipt says Claudia) answered all of my questions with a smile. Claudia even provided concern when she spotted me counting electrical outlets for this review. "Did you lose something, Ian?" she'd inquired. It's even more impressive that she remembered my name despite the nonstop flow of guests. My drink took two minutes and 17 seconds. Good pace! As mentioned, the Pistachio Latte ($7 - Iced) left me sleepy and literally yawning. It's more comparable to pistachio milk tea than coffee. It felt very casual and commercialized for customers that dislike coffee. The pistachio latte is a little too milky, but I appreciated the real bits of pistachio. The ambiance at Republik Coffee (Monrovia) is horrible for study and work. It's loud like a nightclub!! The loud sound system made everything vibrate; the location's acoustics were echoey, so chatter was amplified; and the cramped interior forced customers to hear the clanking from the counter. In addition, I counted only three accessible electrical outlets in Republik Coffee (Monrovia). Fortunately, there's customer internet with password; the details are on the printed receipt, and they're displayed by the counter. There's also a gender neutral restroom and a self-service water station. This location has numerous tables despite the limited space. There's nine interior tables, ten patio tables, and a few tables in front. It's also fairly clean, but its floors appeared unswept. At the very least, the tables sparkled. However, if visiting, the most aesthetically pleasing location will be the rear patio. The green lush wall will make a pretty photo. Overall, I left Republik Coffee (Monrovia) underwhelmed. It felt like a brunch nightclub posing as a coffee spot. The ambiance and staff are the true heroes of this establishment... 3.4 out of 5 read more

I like that they do in-house almond milk! It's genuinely one of the best I've had in-house: super creamy and balanced. The food here is solid, too. not just your typical grab-and-go fare. Fresh, tasty, and pairs perfectly with your drink of choice. Definitely worth stopping in whether you're grabbing a cardamom coffee! Overall, a great neighborhood coffee spot with excellent almond milk drinks and brunch spot! read more

Republik Coffee - French toast and short rib Benedict. Side of turkey sausage - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

The Republik Coffee is new to Myrtle Street in Monrovia. It has a warm atmosphere and they make the most out of this narrow coffee shop. The food is delicious with many choices for savory or sweet options. The drip coffee is very good and my husband had tea and he said it was good. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. They are weak on service but most of the staff are just learning their jobs. Thus the ordering process is slow and getting your order feels kind of random as it comes out in bits and pieces. I still recommend you give this place a try even though they are in training mode--the coffee and food are worth the wait. read more

I had heard great things about their Pasadena location and was excited when they opened one in Monrovia since it's so much closer to me and had to go try. There is street parking or parking in one of the lots. We tried some pastries - the ham and cheese croissant and blueberry loaf along with cortado and the purple caramel latte (it was recommended iced). The pastries were OK. It was odd for me that the croissant was sweet for ham and cheese. The hubby did enjoy the blueberry loaf. I did enjoy my iced purple caramel latte. Just a hint of ube for a nice flavor and not too sweet or overpowering. I also tried the ube rice pudding but didn't taste the ube. It's a cute cafe altho limited seating if you're wanting to meet up with friends. Staff is super nice. read more
