What a charming and quaint coffee shop this Republic Coffee is. With indoor and patio seating... so…read morelovely. Both inside and outside were super clean along with their restrooms. The minute I walked in, the aroma of the coffee and baked goods just organically welcomed me IN! Walked in this morning at 10:15AM, and was greeted by Stephanie. All the people behind the counter were genuinely super nice and friendly, and I am going to leave it at that. Some places can be pretentious and I don't like that. I didn't get that vibe here. Loved it. They have many different options of baked goods, hot and cold beverages, salads, sandwiches, breakfast burritos, and more.They also serve wine. Very unique and interesting. Some coffee shops do serve wine. Love wine, but not in the mornings/afternoons:-)). So, she took my order and got everything right. I ordered an Avocado Toast, 2 Blueberry Muffins, and for my drink, got an Ube Latte. Everything tasted above and beyond fresh and delicious. My Ube Latte was made to PERFECTION! Don't know much about their parking situation, but I found street parking right in the front. They also do delivery, and 3rd party orders. My first time, but definitely not the last. Was so pleased with their hospitality. If I didn't happen to be in the area, I probably would have missed this beautiful gem. Glad I saw it and walked in. They have some nice decor inside but I decided to sit on their lovely patio. Thank you everyone, and keep up the good work!

This review is solely about the coffee. I can't speak to the food…read more Before getting to the coffee, I have to say the ambience is just overwhelming and not relaxing--to me! I love minimalist spaces, and this is the exact opposite. This is probably just my own OCD personality that misses Steve Jobs and his black turtlenecks. The staff, however, is very nice! Okay, now the coffee, which is what my rating is based on. The latte was a small step up from Starbucks and had an odd taste that I couldn't quite place. My wife couldn't finish hers. The drip coffee was barely above lukewarm and just didn't taste good. Again, it was hard to put my finger on exactly what was wrong with it, but it didn't taste particularly fresh. I noticed the bag of beans on the counter was roasted on 6/30 and marked down on clearance. Anyway, it's probably a perfectly fine place if you're not obsessed with excellent black coffee or high-quality espresso drinks. The space is large, there's lots of outdoor seating, and the staff is nice. I just wish I'd known going in that the coffee wasn't very good, so I'm writing this review for the other people out there who are equally insufferable about their coffee.

The baristas make sure they make each drink carefully and allow you the chance to try it before you head out. There's plenty of seating. Some long bar tables, benches, and a sofa. It was quite loud inside on a Saturday so good to know if you need a quiet place to work. I saw quite a few people working on laptops as well as groups of people catching up. The front door has a sign stating that the entrance is wheelchair accessible. They also have a gender neutral bathroom.

The quality of the ingredients and attention to detail are apparent in every bite and every sip. It is well worth the wait you'll most likely encounter. No matter how busy they are, the staff will greet you warmly--even coming out with umbrellas like they did for us when it was raining--and take the time to help you order, converse, and genuinely make you feel welcome. There are limited tables inside to enjoy your haul, but if you're lucky, a spot will open up and spare your car from the flaky goodness that will inevitably rain down all over your clothes and upholstery. Either way, it's worth it. CAR is exceptional.

The staff was very nice and we ordered the classics. - Croissant : was fresh, flaky and a good size. The only small issue: 20% of it goes on the table as it literally crumbles at each bite. A good croissant should have some elasticity lacking here. - Pain au chocolat: quite large with maybe too much chocolate.But the flavor was on point. I liked it but my wife thought the extra chocolate was too much of the good thing. She reminded me that in the pain au chocolat in France, you actually feel the chocolate under the tooth at each bite. Between the two, I would get the plain croissant next time. Final thoughts: These pastries are more expensive than in other places( pain au chocolat for almost $7 and croissant for $5.5). Would I come back: yes to get the plain croissant.

Yesterday was my first time stopping by, and all I came in for was a matcha. Unfortunately, my…read moreexperience at the counter was not very pleasant. When I ordered a matcha, the employee asked if regular milk was okay, and I said oat milk was fine. However, I was never informed that oat milk was an additional $1 charge. She also never asked what size I wanted and then told me to pay. When I looked at the screen, I saw that the total was $7 for a large. I only wanted to spend around $5-$6, so I asked if I could get a small instead. I was surprised to see that the price was still the same. When I asked why, she then explained that oat milk was a $1 up charge and she didn't charge me on the large order for oatmilk. I don't mind paying the extra dollar, but I feel customers should be informed about an additional charge before being charged for it. Also, if getting a large was actually the better deal, I would have appreciated being told that. What made the interaction more frustrating was that the employee seemed distracted and dismissive while her coworker was talking to her. I ended up getting the small, even though I was confused about the pricing. The matcha itself was good, but unfortunately, because of the customer service experience, I don't think I'll be returning. I don't expect anything special--just clear communication about pricing and to be asked what size I'd like before being charged.

Off busy Colorado Blvd, one block from the Pasadena Playhouse is Home Brewed. Even on a busy (and…read morehot) Sunday afternoon, it's patio is a quiet, shady nook with soft, eclectic music playing. The coffee is first rate. The chocolate chip scone I had was crispy and wonderful. (Thank goodness they only had one left or I would have had two!) The coffees they featured on the day I was there were Maple Oat and a Sweet and Salty PB (peanut butter) Latte. If those drinks are as good as the mocha they made me, they should be great. My server, Onyx, was very friendly and welcoming -- and was a quick beverage maker. And other staff seemed nice as well. I would happily come to a show early to allow me time to visit here. (I live an hour from here, so, sadly, I won't be haunting their patio.)

I've been wanting to try this place, and I'm so glad I finally did!…read more I ordered the Egg Heaven and the Iced Honeycomb Latte. The Egg Heaven was honestly one of the best egg sandwiches I've ever had. The flavors were light but still incredibly satisfying. The bread was perfectly toasted, and the egg salad was seasoned so well that every bite was delicious. It was also definitely worth the price, it came with three pieces, which was more than enough to share between two people. The Iced Honeycomb Latte was just as good. It doesn't come sweetened at first, but as the dalgona slowly melts into the coffee, it adds the perfect amount of sweetness. If you prefer your coffee less sweet, you can always ask for less dalgona. On top of the great food and drinks, the staff was incredibly friendly. Since it was my first visit, she gave us great recommendations and helpful feedback on what to order, which made the experience even better. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

It was the beginning of the week, and things were noticeably quiet on the streets and inside this shop. So I didn't know what to expect once I walked inside.

The 2 guys working inside were friendly and we made small talk about the city, despite it looking like a slow morning. While inside I noticed many tables available, and two TV's showing sports news. I ordered the breakfast burrito w/ bacon and the breakfast sandwich which came on white bread. Both tasted amazing and made me content that I had picked this place. Definitely will be returning!
