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

It's so exciting to get a new trendy craft coffee shop past the Pasadena area, they usually all stop over there and republik even has a location there. The coffee was nice and strong, I was surprised with my hazelnut latte having actual nut shavings in it. I tried my brother's cold brew foam drink and definitely need to be back to have it and the food items. If we weren't grabbing this on the way to lunch I would have gotten a sandwich. 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

Fun Fact: Coffee is the second most traded commodity after oil. For some of us, coffee is a sacred daily ritual. Myself included. I love Republik's coffee lounge in Pasadena, so I was excited to check out their new café in Monrovia. I met everyone's favorite Yelp coffee connoisseur here on a Sunday morning. Good thing we arrived when they opened because the place was packed 20 mins later. The shop is smaller than the Pasadena location. It's cozy with seating areas along the wall. There is also a picturesque back patio. The darling girl at the register was genuinely nice, and the barista (I think her name was Bella) was also sweet. I ordered a cortado with almond milk and the Yelp Rockstar got a London Fog & Turmeric the Ginger Latte. My Cortado was perfect. My coffee date liked the Turmeric Ginger Latte over the London Fog. We both had other engagements to attend, so we didn't order food. They do serve breakfast items, sandwiches, & pastries. I've had the pastries before, and they are tasty. I'm sure this location will do well. *They use Ceremonial grade Matcha *Syrups made in house *Street & nearby parking lots. read more

#176 in my Coffeeshop Chronicles. I've been saying for years that Monrovia needs more artisan coffeeshops. It used to just be Grey & Cash and the franchises like Starbucks. Then San Fernando Coffee Company moved in last year, and now we have Republik! (I say "we" even though I don't actually live here. But I'm here often enough! Lol). Republik's newest location in Monrovia isn't as large as the OG Pasadena location, but there are still plenty of small tables inside. And fortunately, their menu is the same as the other locations. I ordered the Purple caramel latte, which is made with brown sugar, condensed milk, and ube. The ube was very subtle, just enough to turn the drink purple really. The drink was still pretty good, as long as you're not expecting it to taste like actual ube drinks at Asian coffeeshops, where the flavors are more prominent. I also ordered the drink with their new housemade almond milk, which was really good. ****************** My Ratings: 1 Star: Terrible; just thinking about it makes me angry. 2 Stars: Wasn't a fan so Not likely to return. 3 Stars: Meh. Average. Might return if others drag me. 4 Stars: Yum! Likely to return. 5 Stars: Amazing! Would plan my day around it. read more

Republik Coffee - Iced latte with Almond milk and foam - 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

There's loads of street or lot parking to get here. They have some indoor and outdoor seating but somewhat limited. It's causal and chill inside. If there's a line, it moves fairly quick. The staff are nice and helpful. They have loads of pastries! I'd like to try some next time! I got the pumpkin cheesecake latte. It was pretty good. Not too sweet. It was a bit hot at first so it'll likely be a drink you'll have to wait before really drinking it. Overall, it's worth a chance to try out. read more

So excited Republik Coffee is finally open in Old Town Monrovia!! Today is the day they start their soft opening. We loved the coffees and pastries we tried and everyone was so friendly! I arrived right at opening and when I left the line was already almost out the door lol. For my drink, I tried the seasonal Purple Caramel Latte (iced) and loved it! A wonderful balance between the ube and caramel flavors and their coffee is very smooth. It's also beautiful! Hubby tried the Turmeric Ginger Latte (hot) - perfectly spiced and cozy - we would get both of these again. I really love that all of their syrups are made in-house. For our breakfast we sampled the ham and cheese croissant, raspberry danish, and orange polenta. The flavors are fantastic and their pastries all had flawless texture! Their croissants are light and flaky and not greasy at all. The ham they used was quality for sure. The orange polenta was my favorite- plenty of strong orange flavor which is sometimes missing in these cakes. The sweetness levels in the Tumeric Ginger Latte and their sweet pastries is pretty sweet - but I don't regularly eat much sugar so definitely a preference of my palate. I still thought they were excellent and would get all these items again. The sweetness level in the Purple Caramel Latte was very muted and perfect for me so if you're looking for something not as intensely sweet - go for that one. The vibes are sleek and modern, Mediterranean style with lovely tiled walls and accents. There was already quite a crowd forming at opening - very lively vibes with general excited chatter and upbeat music in the background. A great place to catch up with friends - but if you're looking for a quiet spot to get some work done, they have a very cozy and quiet back patio as well. Service is friendly and enthusiastic - prices are moderate but definitely consistent with the area and the quality. Republik is a small locally owned coffee shop chain with cafes in Pasadena and Burbank and now Old Town Monrovia! You'll find them in the spot where the Sunday's Old Town Bistro used to be. It's an excellent location - Old Town is very walkable and they're in a prime spot on the main drag - great for grabbing a coffee before walking around or relaxing inside with some pastries to do some people watching or catch up on emails. Plenty of free parking on the streets or in the public lots scattered around nearby. Given that their other locations have such high ratings, we've been eagerly awaiting their arrival - totally lived up to the hype and we're happy they're finally open! Welcome to Monrovia!! read more

Really solid location for my morning fix of food and coffee! Everything was well made and flavorful plus excellent, attentive service. I was here for the soft opening weekend but the line was pretty quick. The sea salt cold brew had a nice caramel-like hint of flavor. I also loved the salmon cucumber toast, which has a nice mix of capers and pickled cucumber to make it a very tasty yet well balanced toast. I also really like the cut and bread, making it great to eat with your hands. Aesthetics and presentation were solid too. Overall I can see myself back! read more

Brewing up memories and finding peace in every sip. Without further ado let's begin this Friday adventure. Republik Coffee (est 2025) is a brand new coffee shop location in Old Town Monrovia; they're popular coffee brand known for its quality coffee, house-made syrups, and pastries, celebrating its soft opening in December 2025. I have been to one of their other locations in Pasadena. This bldg suite that RC currently occupies was a French Bistro but sadly went out of business. I am ebullient that they opened a location in my favorite old town. I came on their soft opening for a late breakfast. As I cross the street, there was a small crowd buzzing at this coffee shop. I quickly perused at their compendious menu. While I was waiting on line at the counter there were two white women from a far end table who appeared to be waving toward my direction, then a lady behind me who said they're definitely not waving at me. She stated they must be for you because you're good looking (she made quick glance). And then she realized it was his son's h.s. teacher. Lol. Anyways, back to this review. :D I ordered a Chicken Pesto Panini (with side of salad) and a hot Latte. Sandwich was bloody fresh, warm and delicious as well as the salad. Moreover, the hobbit size Latte was adorable and perfectly made to my liking. Moreover, I was able to meet and chat with the owner at their rear outdoor patio. He is such a wonderful person. Interior was neat and organized with a relaxing vibe. Seats were comfortable. Staff were affable and professional. Prices were economically competitive. Public parking was abundant. Overall, this coffee shop is a great addition to this town and I enjoyed my dine-in experience and food/coffee. I highly recommend. read more

Everything was very flavorful. And I got full! I need to come back and try their avocado toast and coffee! read more

New location here in Monrovia. Parking streetside or in the back. Service is friendly and fast I love their Vietnamese coffee. Their version has a strong coffee as expected for Viet coffee, but has a more mild flavoring/balance which is a nice take. I liked their Morning roll as well. Also got to try their Yuzu Matcha Tonic which had a good balance of Yuzu and Matcha flavoring read more

So happy to have stumbled upon this gem of a coffee shop. The matcha they use is a ceremonial matcha and heads up, please stir it before drinking for maximum OOOMF. The wait was a bit longer than I would have liked for a drink, about 20 minutes, but frankly, the matcha is worth it. It's not too earthy but it's not full blown sweet treat ya feel me? Perfect yin yang. read more

I tried Cardamom Oat Latte iced. It was quite refreshing and the Cardamom spice itself was like chai but slightly different, like a cinnamon-esque profile but somewhat more floral notes. But also, kind of lacking in coffee flavor, was a bit too milky tasting. Needed a more balanced coffee/milk ratio. Prices are standard for iced lattes. read more

I wanted to try this place because it's close to my job and I figured I'd grab some food before work. Unfortunately, it was a pretty frustrating experience. I placed my order and waited over 35minutes for food that never came out. Meanwhile, people who ordered after me were already getting their food. After waiting and waiting, I finally checked on my order and it seemed like it had been forgotten or never put in correctly. At that point, I had to cancel my order because I was running out of time and needed to get to work. I ended up wasting about 40 minutes and left without eating anything. I understand mistakes happen, but it would have been nice if someone had acknowledged the mistake or offered something for the inconvenience. They definitely need a better system because customers shouldn't be getting skipped like that. Really disappointed because I was hoping this would become a regular spot since it's so close to my work. read more

So delicious. I personally prefer less sweet so I requested for less sugar when I ordered and it turns out perfect! read more

Stopped by Republik Coffee and tried their matcha latte with almond milk ($8). I watched the barista whisk it fresh -- the matcha was so green you already know it's good quality. Once mixed, it had a smooth, subtle creamy flavor that wasn't overly sweet. Also grabbed their chocolate croissant which was warm, flaky, and the perfect pairing. Service was friendly too! read more

My number 1 favorite coffee shop on Myrtle! The Vietnamese cold brew is the perfect pick me up in the morning. The ham and cheese croissant has a sweetness brushed on top and is nice and flakey. The baguette is also bomb. Every interaction I've had is pleasant and the baristas put a little love in the drinks. It's a great place to have a quick bit before work or to hang for a while since they have a nice outdoor space. Come through, it's great!!! read more

Pleasant atmosphere. Exceptional customer service. Area is clean and the menu was perfect. Thank you

"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here." That's what the sign above the door should read. Unfortunately for me, it says "Coffee", and I believed them. Ten dollars and two sips of coffee-essenced milk after walking in the door, my suspicion that this was a made-for-Instagram LA coffee shop was confirmed. The barista did not measure the milk. I am gobsmacked by witnessing this. I have worked in coffee for years, roasting and serving, and this kid handed me another reason to wonder if things are ever going to be okay again - Trump, the War in Iran, climate change, the economy, and this cup of coffee. To top off this ritual in mutually-assured humiliation, all dirty dishes must go in a pull-out bin, the handle of which was sticky. I reached the door to leave. The door handle was sticky. If there is a god, have mercy on these poor sinners, for they know not what they do. read more

I had some time to spare before a salon appointment today and decided to try this place for the first time. I was hungry and perused the menu available at the front desk. I spent some time looking it over while the employee at the front watched me do so. I finally decided on a food and drink item. I went to order the food item first and was told the kitchen was closed. I would suggest if the kitchen is closed to not have a full menu available at the front for customers to think they can order food when they can't. So then I ordered my drink choice which was an iced matcha with no sweetener since I am diabetic. I got my drink quickly which I was happy about and headed off to my salon appointment. It was hot outside so I chugged a huge sip of the matcha I ordered before I realized it was riddled with the sweetener I had asked them to please leave out. read more

Great vibe and amazing food and lattes! Great place to come and chill. Outside seating I back is nice too! read more

Republik Coffee - Brie toast, avocado fries and ube latte! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monrovia, California

This café was packed when I stopped by, which is usually a good sign -- and it definitely was here. Even with the crowd, the layout makes it work. There's indoor seating, a front patio, and a surprisingly spacious backyard area, so don't just stand near the entrance -- walk around and check the back. The coffee was solid -- smooth, well-balanced, and properly extracted (no burnt aftertaste, which I appreciate). Whether you're ordering a simple drip or something more crafted, they seem to know what they're doing. Service was excellent despite how busy it was. The staff stayed calm, friendly, and efficient, which kept the whole place feeling welcoming rather than chaotic. Huge plus: free Wi-Fi that actually works, making it a practical spot if you need to sit with your laptop for a bit. Overall, a lively café with good energy, strong coffee, and thoughtful service -- just make sure you explore the backyard seating before deciding where to sit. read more
