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

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 - Purple caramel latte - 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

This is a nice little cafe in old town Monrovia. it has indoor and outdoor seating. The interior is similar to the one in Pasadena, but obviously is much less spacious. it is a small cafe so tables are small, and no WiFi on weekends. Overall the coffee and breakfast items are pretty good. It is a cool place to hang out but not for people come in to study or work on their projects. 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

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

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

Republik Coffee - Matcha latte with oat milk (5 stars) - 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

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

Went this morning with my husband and the service was amazing. Their Chai Latte was a great choice. The environment was welcoming.

Service was rushed, no consideration for takeout. Did not put on the lid, did not put in Stoppers, and told me my order was ready when it was not ready. Very insincere apologies. What could have taken 30 seconds resulting in completely unnecessary unprofessionalism. 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.

This is a brand new place and it is right in the center of downtown Monrovia. Plenty of parking especially during the week.

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
