Cute but very busy place! Came here after I found out the original coffee shop I wanted to try near the area is closed on Sundays. Republik is pretty big inside, with lots of outdoor space and seating as well. It was very busy when we arrived, and there was a line, but it moved pretty quickly and I got my order in a decent amount of time. I saw they had an Ube latte, so of course that is what I ordered, and it did not disappoint. Very flavorful and delicious. Service was good, and the baristas were all busy but took the time to greet everyone and thank them as we all picked up our orders. There is lots of free street parking in this area of Pasadena, so that was a breeze. read more

The ambiance and store decoration is really nice and cozy. Staffs were friendly. And they have many great specialty espresso that are unique but also is the price, which tend to be on the higher side especially consider the portions and quantity that you are getting of the price that you pay. I saw the sign that said bakes good happy hour 50% off after 3 pm. Well that was misleading. So everything that I ordered, the cookies and cake are not part of the sale. I wish they were more clear about that. I thought it was 1/2 off which is why I ordered so many to start out with. The taste of the bake good, however, are good and not too sweet which is great. The chocolate chip cookie was meh, there are better ones in Pasadena. The pistachio cooking was good. And the green tea cake was amazing. I just wish there sign for the discount was more clear and things were so pricy. read more

i really wanted to give this location a better star review because i really loooveee the republik coffee in Burbank!! i stopped by here early morning before work on March 19th @7:16am and thankfully there was parking in the front. i really like how this location is a bit bigger than the one in Burbank. As i walked in it was pretty empty inside which was nice because I didn't have to wait too long. The gentleman who took my order was really nice. i ordered myself the iced lavender and honey matcha latte with oat milk & i got my coworker the salted caramel cold brew. The barista was a nice lady however i do have to say that i was not too happy with my matcha latte. My matcha had more milk than actual matcha which tasted like i was drinking a cup of milk. it was just too much. i feel like the barista didn't measure the matcha properly with the milk or something. thankfully, with the straw i could taste the lavender + the honey in the bottom of the drink which sort of saved it. i did not want to say anything because i had to be at work. My co worker did enjoy her cold brew. Her drink actually looked perfect. i also got myself their breakfast burrito with the spinach wrap & it was really good. it's nice that it comes with a red sauce & a sour cream. Matcha drink 2 / 10 Salted caramel cold brew : 9 / 10 Breakfast burrito : 9 / 10 read more

Republik Coffee - Matcha Lavender & Honey Salted Cold Brew Cloud - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

Same great place since I last visited in 2019. A quick stop for a cold brew and a lemon loaf slice (friend purchased). Cold brew was strong as expected but didn't taste much of the foam as salted anything. The lemon loaf was grainy -not sure what the ingredients were to make it grainy, but I did appreciate the lemon flavor and icing. read more

Such a cute cafe, that can get busy! Sometimes there aren't tables available, but luckily the last time I went my husband and I were able to get a table to drink our coffees and croissants. I ordered a hot oat latte and it was really good. I've tried the Vietnamese cold brew, but unfortunately it was a little sweet for me. My husband got an Americano and it was great. We both got a ham and cheese croissant and it was soo yummy! Really liked the cheese they use. I will keep coming back when I'm in the area, I want to try more of their pastries! read more

I've had a lot of things here so I'm going to rate and rank each item: 1. Cardamom oat latte (best cardamom latte I've ever had and is so delicious that I get this far too many times) 2. Iced london fog (so different and nice every once in a while if you like a london fog) 3. Rose matcha (matcha is a decent quality and their rose is so nice and subtle that I get it a decent amount) 4. Purple caramel latte (yum, but sweet) 5. Black vanilla latte (yum, but also sweet) This place is such a great place to also work if you can get a seat. On the weekends they will bring in live performers too, which is so nice! read more

My favorite coffee shop in Pasadena! Whether it's for a quick coffee or to work for a few hours. The staff is incredible nice and even remember my order and my name. There's been multiple times my drink is already being made before I even order. It can get crowded but that's just a sign of how great this place is. The food is so good and fresh! Some of my favorite are the Mediterranean toast, egg toast, and the chipotle chicken sandwich! My kids love the French toast. The place is great for working or for catching up with friends. read more

Republik Coffee - London Fog with oatmilk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

(+) Lavender and Oat Latte Republik is a breakfast and lunch restaurant that freshly makes their pastries and serves a variety of sandwiches, coffee tea and breakfast goodies. There are a few locations in the SGV, and this location is located off Green Street, which is a one-way street. They do have a designated parking lot where they validate for an hour of parking. There is parking available on the street too. Drinks: I ordered the lavender and oat latte with a croissant. What stood out to me about the latte was the balance of floral and coffee flavors. None were overbearing. The croissant was delicious as well. Nothing special about it though. I will come back to try some of their hot foods. Service/Ambiance: There is a counter you order from and plenty of seating inside and outside. The shop is welcoming and comfortable. Plenty of large and small tables. Overall, I want to come back and try more of what they have to offer. read more

Came in on a Sunday afternoon and got the Vietnamese cold brew! The line was kind of long but loved by fast and I got my drink quick. I really wanted to love it because it said there was coconut juice and cold foam on top but it I kind of got bored of the flavor after some time. It's definitely not Vietnamese coffee lol but it's a nice creamy and surprisingly refreshing drink! I couldn't finish it which is rare for me but it started to just taste like a regular vanilla cold brew. It's also pretty sweet but you can ask to dilute with the regular cold brew which I did and it helped! The cafe was cute, there's an outdoor patio and indoor seating with some cute greenery. Saw a variety of people grabbing brunch and doing work! read more

Republik Coffee - Vietnamese Cold Brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

New to Pasadena, I called ahead about parking, and the staff were incredibly helpful, guiding me to great options. Once inside, the vibe was energetic yet welcoming. I asked for something smooth and a little sweet, and they suggested an iced crushed cardamom oat latte. The sweet spice of cardamom and coconut condensed milk created a perfect balance. It was refreshing, smooth, and honestly one of the best lattes I've ever had. I'll definitely be back! read more

Republik is a nice local spot my friends and I like to go when we need to study or read. Their brunch menu is really good and there's something for everyone. I've had their burritos which was really good and since I don't drink coffee often, their chai tea is my go to. Service is always so fast and you won't be disappointed. Just remember to pick up your coffee at the counter. They take your food to you! read more

Really enjoyed my visit to Republik Coffee in Pasadena. They have matcha and avocado toast, which were both great. Sat outside and the vibe was really nice--lots of people working, hanging out, and enjoying the space. Service was easy and smooth. Definitely a good spot if you want a relaxed place to sit, work, or catch up with someone. read more

Republik Coffee - Black Vanilla Latte- delicious - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

Came here since I was near by for an event and was a bit hungry. I have to say I was happy with my choices. I got a strawberry matcha, which was so delicious. I ended up getting an avocado toast, and I was pleasantly surprised. It was so delicious and full of flavor and the presentation was so nice. While I was there a guy was also playing live music. Also I have to say I loved how clean the staff kept the place, since while I was there, I finished my food, but was still enjoying my drink, and the staff took my plate to put away. Honestly great little spot, nice vibes, and nice staff. read more

In town for a work conference and needed a real coffee moment, so I stopped by Republik Coffee in Pasadena -- great decision. I grabbed their vanilla latte (the fancy name escapes me), and even though it leaned a little sweet, the flavor was super smooth and honestly pretty addictive. No artificial aftertaste, just a really well-made latte. The space has that clean, modern vibe that makes you want to stay longer than you planned, and for early morning, it was surprisingly calm. Friendly service, quick turnaround, zero hassle. Perfect way to kick off a long conference week. I'd definitely come back -- and next time I'll order it "less sweet" and settle in for a bit. read more

Wow! Every dish coming out of the kitchen looks like a photo from your favorite food magazine. I was excited to try this place as their site boasts about their barista, house made almond milk & flavored syrups. There was a line when we arrived for brunch, but it moved quickly. You place your order, and they give you a number for your table. Coffee drinks get picked up at the counter. We sat outside under a beautiful tree. I kept it simple with an egg and toast. I got the pistachio latte with almond milk to drink (heavenly). My husband got the bacon eggs Benedict and a hot chocolate, which he commented as being one of the best hot chocolates he'd ever had. read more

This is a charming cafe with good decor, lots of space and buzzing with people. Although I had to take my drink to go, I would have enjoyed sitting there for a bit and enjoying the vibe. I stopped in right after an appointment across the street and wanted to pick up a quick coffee. The menu impressed me, especially the fact that the drinks were high quality and made without syrups and other artificial flavors. There was a refrigerator with some tasty and fresh looking food. The barista was working incredibly quickly and appeared to be very skilled and professional. Several employees were also making drinks or prepping drinks. I would give the place five stars had they not lost my order. The ticket never made it to the queue. After watching everyone who came in after me get their drinks, I asked about it. They found the ticket and made the drink, but it still took several more minutes. I would have preferred an apology for the glitch but nothing was said. I was 15 minutes late to my appointment because of all the waiting time. It was difficult to pick a drink because so many sounded great. They also answered all my questions and helped me narrow it down. I went with one of their "draft" signature iced coffees and enjoyed every sip. Will definitely return. read more

There's something about this café that just keeps pulling me back. Not my first breakfast here, and every time I've got court in Pasadena, I make sure to stop by Republik Coffee. It's kinda turned into a little ritual at this point. Today wasn't an exception. Had to wait a bit longer than usual to find a table outside. No surprise, the place is always busy, and for a good reason. The girl who took my order was super friendly and attentive, really took her time to help me pick. Usually I go for the ham & cheese croissant, but today I switched it up -- went with the salmon cucumber toast and their purple caramel latte. Both were spot on, fresh, balanced, and honestly just hit right. What I love about this spot is how consistent it feels. Good food, good people, that easy vibe where you can sit back, sip your coffee, and just watch the street wake up. Thanks for keeping it steady, guys. See you next time -- court mornings don't start without Republik anymore. read more

What a cute cafe! Seating can be limited depending on time. They have a good menu - something for everyone. If you want tiny bites they have a decent "sides" menu. It's a nice place to sit, eat, sip, savor, and get work done. Service is friendly and despite it being busy they do a good job getting out orders in a decent time. I def recommend the purple caramel latte but buyers beware , if you get it hot, beware of purple mouth. Ha! No regrets! read more

Came here on a Sunday morning with my best friend. I have passed by the coffee spot so many times and I always wanted to try it, and now I have. Spent a lovely Sunday morning with my best friend here and I was able to get my Pasadena Coffee Passport stamped. This place is sunny inside and out. With ample of street parking. Plenty of outdoor and indoor seating. We ordered: - Spinach Ricotta Danish - Prosciutto Sandwich - Purple Caramel Latte - Lavender & Oat Latte The food & drinks overall were amazing. I am very particular when it comes to ube, but the Purple Caramel Latte did NOT disappoint at all. The staff here are very helpful, friendly, and kind. The establishment is clean. Would 10/10 recommend this place and would definitely be coming back. I saw a wine collection in the corner so I am I'm very interested as to seeing if they do a wine night. read more

12oz Americano was nice. The salmon cucumber toast is what I will absolutely be coming back for. Good service. Comfortable seating but ultimately I had to leave because the music made me want to slit my wrists. Fortunately, there is also outdoor seating so you don't have to listen to the tragic playlist. I'll sit outside when I come back! read more

Small shop at corner of Green and Lake. Mostly street parking. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Order at the front register where they have fresh pastries as well. Got their Vietnamese coffee cold brew which was quite good! I am used to the traditional Vietnamese coffee and it definitely was a good take on it. Only con is there is no sweetness adjustment as it is premade and they don't add coffee to cut the sweetness. Their salted caramel cold brew was also good. This could have its sweetness adjusted which is great. They have a lot of breakfast and food items which we didn't have time to enjoy but possibly next time. read more

There was a tall Asian cashier that took my order and was very kind. Loved the Vietnamese coffee and having live music is outstanding.

I've been here a few times, and the best thing I've had was the coffee. They offer more complex drinks, but the brewed coffee is where it's at. The service is great. Although the line gets long, they keep it moving without rushing folks. It's cozy here. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for customers to lounge and enjoy their order. The food is fine, but not as fresh nor the quality I expected for the price. I recently ordered the quiche of the day. It was savory and flavorful, but a little cold in the center. I would have enjoyed it if it was served hot and thoroughly heated. I also tried the purple caramel latte because I can't say no to ube. I ordered it iced, and wished I had ordered it hot instead. The sweetness of the ube and caramel were not coming through and I think the flavors would have meshed more with heat. Suffice it to say, the drink didn't meet my expectations. As I mentioned earlier, the brewed coffee can't be beat. I'd like to come back and try more drinks and dishes. This place has promise! read more

I was doing research on where to get good coffee in the neighborhood, and I found this place. I was able to find a street parking on Sunday morning. This coffee shop was busy. I love the decoration of this place. Every section seemed to have their theme. I was waiting in line, and the line was moving pretty fast. I ordered pistachio almond latte and salted caramel latte. I like both coffee, but I prefer the pistachio almond latte more because of the nutty flavor. The coffee was strong. I did not try their food item, but I would like to give them a try on my next visit. read more

Republik Coffee - Matcha Latte *Organic w/cold foam ($7.75) - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Pasadena, California

Such a cool place to hang out, though parking may be a bit tough. There's street parking in the area but there is a 2 hour limit. I typically get their matcha and ham and cheese croissant. Their croissant is nothing like you'd get from other places. They seem to have added a sugary glaze on top, which creates a very interesting contrasting flavor with the ham and cheese. I'd say their matcha is nothing out of the ordinary, but it's not terrible. read more

I came in on a Sunday morning before 8am and to my surprise there was a fair number of customers but no wait. I ordered at the counter a coffee and a danish from the case.

They have indoor and outdoor seating, not too cozy but lots of people working and reading. They have a small outside patio and tables on the sidewalk as well. I'll return to try something off the menu! read more

I came here with my husband to meet a friend as she lives in Pasadena. Its a cute coffee shops, absolutely full of people! inside and outside. Parking can be difficult. I also think they are pricy more than other coffee shops. I had their flat white which was good, their cardamom bun was super good but also pricy. If I am not mistaken, for 4 drinks and 2-3 pastries. Total came to $45-$55. I think that pretty pricy considering its just a coffee shop read more

Went to have breakfast with my padawan. I had the avocado toast. He had the breakfast burrito. Both were freshly made and delicious. I mentioned the freshly made because there was a bit of a wait. Seating was available inside. The decor was hipster/ industrial but still felt cozy with several small tables set in conversational clusters. There is also outdoor seating but it was chilly so we were happy to have an indoor spot. I also had the black vanilla latte which started off strange (the charcoal) but grew on me as I continued to drink it. I think I would have it again. I would definitely return to try some of the other items on the menu. read more

Went for the lavender & oat + crush cardamom oat latte -- long story short: crush cardamom for that more familiar chai feeling whereas the lavender syrup tended to become stronger over time and made the latte lose its identity. Latte was made really well; oat milk was.a very silky texture that started off a little hot, however was a warming drink after it cooled off a little bit. There was a mild tone of earthy caramel, and it takes a backseat to the sweetness. Overall, quality wise it's pretty good; I just don't exactly agree with all of their recipes/ratios. read more

Poor customer service over something so small We came in for breakfast and were about to spend around $60 on breakfast. I had an almost-empty coffee from another café because we came specifically for the breakfast here, not the drinks. After sitting for about 5-7 minutes, a staff member approached me and said there were no outside drinks allowed and asked me to put my cup inside one of theirs. I understand if that's the policy, but the way it was said felt abrupt and unnecessarily uncomfortable. It really seemed like the owner walked by, saw my cup, and sent the employee over to say something. Here's the confusing part: this place is called Republic Café, yet there's one barista making drinks for an almost full restaurant, and charging $5-6 for an Americano. How is anyone supposed to trust the quality of the coffee under those conditions? The food is good -- I'll give them that -- but between the wall of wine, the café branding, and the mediocre coffee setup, it feels like they haven't decided what they're trying to be. We were here for the food, and instead we left with a really negative impression over something that could've been handled so much better. Note: you guys aren't known for your coffee, but for your food. read more

Jose, I'm addressing this review directly to you because the experience my husband and I had today at your shop was beyond horrible. We came in for the first time today around 1:30pm to get a coffee on our walk. We only had a very brief moment to look over the menu, and it was our first time visiting. When it was our time to order, the barista "Matty the baddie" did not greet us. Just stared at us. We asked if it was possible to get the Vietnamese coffee with nondairy condensed coconut milk that was also listed on the menu. Very sternly, he let us know that wasn't possible since the Vietnamese coffee was premade. This is understandable, but he spoke to us like we were stupid and did not offer any other suggestions. Since we wanted to be mindful of the people behind us, we just ordered a regular cold brew. We watched the barista pour our cold brew, which was clearly the end of the batch because the spout was struggling to fill the cup. He pushed the drink at us, and we left. As we started walking and drinking, we immediately had to spit out the cold brew. It was HORRENDOUS. It tasted old and burnt and genuinely was not drinkable. My husband went back in and stood in line and once he got to the front let the same barista know of the issue. He did not offer to make us a different drink or rectify the drink. He gave my husband a disgusting amount of attitude and just processed a refund. Trying to be courteous, my husband then asked if he should leave the drink at the front with them or throw it away? And Matty told him to "do whatever he wants." I'm not sure if this is the standard at Republik Coffee, but allowing your barista to treat and speak to a customer like this is wild. I would be utterly embarrassed as a business owner if my employees were acting like this. It was truly shocking. read more
