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

Happy to have another cute cafe in Old Town Monrovia! I've been to the Pasadena location in the past, and the Monrovia location lives up to the same hype. The breakfast options were delicious, I got the breakfast plate and my husband got the tuna melt panini. We also tried the ginger turmeric latte (one of the best I've tried, but more on the sweet side) and the lavender honey matcha latte. The matcha isn't as flavorful or rich as I would have liked, I'll have to try their coffee lattes next. Downside is the tables indoor are very small. There is outdoor seating in the back with larger tables. Free street parking. read more

Republik has opened a new location in downtown Monorovia. There are several free parking lots available in the area, in addition to street parking. I was very excited to try it with my daughter. We arrived at two o'clock we were told that their kitchen closed at two o'clock, but we could order drinks and pastries. We were lucky to find mortadella sandwich available, so we got it. It was rich, savory,and really melted in the mouth. We also got Matcha Almond cake,orange polenta cake and quiche of the day. The quiche was outstanding! Very creamy, buttery and very flavorful.The matcha almond cake and orange polenta had a very delightful and unique taste. I ordered Purple Caramel Latte for both of us. It had the perfect balance between espresso and sweet and nutty taste of ube, then condensed milk added richness to the drink. It was very refreshing. The staff were very friendly and genuinely warm. The service was fast and efficient. Of course, I will come back soon. read more

Republik is fine. Not my favorite, not my least favorite. The menu is interesting, but some of the drinks could use more depth and flavor. A few come across watered down, especially the ube drink. The Vietnamese cold brew is my go-to here, though it's hit or miss depending on the day. When it's good, it's solid; when it's not, it falls a little flat. Overall, it's decent, but tightening consistency and boosting flavor would make a big difference. The food is good but definitely pricey. read more

Everyone is super friendly and know their stuff when it comes to ingredients etc which I appreciate. I ordered the standard matcha latte and it was tasty but a bit milky (and thats from someone who doesnt like a strong matcha for comparison 3cat matcha foam is waaaaay too strong for me ) but this was even too light for me. The lady behind me ordered it with extra matcha and after tasting mine I actually did go back and ask for more matcha for a better balance which they accommodated without fuss. Drink preferences are such an individual thing and I feel like they really understand that here without making you feel like your a burden. I really enjoy the vibe inside as well and cant wait to try the almond loaves on my next visit they look super moist. I'll definitely be back with my husband next time Thank you Republik for a lovely visit. Also below I included the pic of both matchas.

Republix Coffee has a cool atmosphere and the coffee itself is definitely the highlight. I ordered the iced Black Vanilla Latte with almond milk, and it was honestly excellent. The espresso was smooth, the vanilla flavor was subtle but noticeable, and the almond milk worked really well with it. If you come here just for coffee, you'll probably leave happy. for the Coffee Where things went downhill for me was the food. I tried the premade carne asada burrito, which cost about $20. Flavor-wise it was actually pretty good, but the portion was shockingly small for the price and the tortilla was very dry. It felt more like a snack than a burrito, especially at that price point. The carrot almond cake was unfortunately one of the driest pieces of cake I've ever had. It was so dry it was almost hard to swallow. I even gave my dog a tiny piece and it was so dry he started choking on it too. Then there was the berry matcha muffin, which was so hard it honestly could have doubled as a hockey puck. Between the latte, burrito, cake, and muffin, the bill came out to over $53 with a 15% tip, which felt pretty outrageous considering the quality of the food. Bottom line: Come here for the coffee, because it's very good. But skip the overpriced food, especially the baked goods. read more

This place is a fairly new coffee shop in heart of old town monrovia. Coffee was delicious and dialed in. It had very nice chocolate forward flavor profile, but I wish they had more variety profiles. Matcha latte was a bit grainy. Mushroom Brie came out beautiful like an art piece. It was extremely appetizing at first glance. Loved the crunchy texture of the sour dough and mushroom bitterness with the brie. Will come back to try out more stuff! read more

We got to briefly chat with one of the owners of the shop. He mentioned they just had their soft opening on Wednesday and still trying to find tune everything. He shared some of the team members from the other locations are also here. Came here around 11am on a Sunday morning and it wasn't too busy. We got to order right away and waited a little. I ordered the seasonal pistachio latte and my husband ordered the salted cold brew cloud. The pistachio syrup is supposed to be house made. I can't really taste the nuttiness but my husband's salted cold brew was nice and refreshing. They have some pastries and baked goods as well and a breakfast menu that we might try next time.

Republik Coffee is such a great spot. The coffee is perfectly brewed--smooth, balanced, and clearly made with care. The ambiance is warm and inviting without feeling overwhelming, making it easy to relax or stay awhile. I really appreciate how inclusive their food options are; there's something for a variety of dietary needs, which makes it easy to come with friends or family and know everyone will find something they enjoy. It's the kind of place where you can actually sit, slow down, and have meaningful conversations over a great cup of coffee or tea. Whether you're meeting someone, working, or just taking a moment for yourself, Republik Coffee does it right. read more

"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

The service was friendly. The cashier provided beverage recommendations when my friend asked, and he was friendly about it. He spoke with good volume and we understand him clearly. He recommended the raspberry danish, which I ordered. I enjoyed the flavor so much I finished the whole thing even though I often will leave some of the bread portion of pastries on the plate. I enjoyed the cold brew. The bistro/side tables and chairs were okay - a little close to one another, which is not my preference. I guess if one set was removed it would add space between tables, which would have been more comfortable to me, for my private conversation with my friend. My friend and I stayed long enough that a table with two over-sized chairs, near the east end of the shop, opened up and we moved there which made me feel more comfortable that other guests were not overhearing my conversation and vice-versa. (I recognize, some people like to be in other people's conversations and vice versa so I recognize the table spacing may be intentional.) Had the weather been comfortable, I'd have enjoyed the food and beverage outside of the shop, but it was quite hot, so sitting outside was not a good idea. As well, Republik's air conditioning was not working well, so we were told, so that made for a bit of a perspiration-filled visit, but it's understandable that air conditioning may have been overloaded with our extreme temperatures of late. I would return and would recommend it. read more

First time here today, and it won't be my last! I can't believe I passed by Grey & Cash so many…read moretimes and never thought it would be a breakfast/lunch/coffee spot. Haha, was it just me, because I thought it was a fancy wealth management firm because of their name? The look of historic Monrovia may have done the visual trickery for me. Nonetheless, I am so 1000% happier that it is not a wealth management firm, and it is an amazing food and coffee spot in the heart of Monrovia! My bestie recommended this place to meet up to do some teleworking, and it's the perfect place to do so. They have lots of tables and outlets to cowork in the place, and they are spaced pretty far apart, so you can have your own conversation without hearing the other table. Their WiFi speed was fast, too! They also have an awesome menu with specialty drinks and food items like sandwiches, toasts, and salads. Plus, they have a beautiful display case to showcase their pastries. I got a Matcha Latte and their Salmon Lox Bagel Sandwich $14. They really packed the salmon and cream cheese filling in my sandwich, too! Their prices are normal for the area: 2 drinks and 2 sandwiches were close to $60 with tip. The staff are all so friendly and were busy making all the drinks, but also looked so happy working there together! They were lovely to interact with and went around to clean our table, and make sure we were doing okay. I would definitely come back here to telework and enjoy more of their delicious drinks and sandwiches!

When I asked if it was possible to make the matcha half sweet, it felt like my request was strange. That didn't bother me at first until we received our order. We sat down and she brought our drinks over to us. My friend's drink was served in a white coffee cup, while mine came in a clear plastic cup. At first glance, it looked like mine was iced and hers was hot even though we both ordered iced. Naturally, my friend said "Oh I ordered iced". She responded with "it is iced" and walked away. The whole interaction felt dismissive and unwelcoming. It made us want to leave and drink our drinks elsewhere. On top of that, the drinks themselves tasted like mostly milk with just a hint of matcha, and mostly milk with a hint of turmeric. Quite disappointed in both the service and drinks. 2 stars for location, it is walking distance from the Lagree class we came from but most likely would not come back.

Even though the place was buzzing with energy and clearly a local favorite, the team handled the weekend crowd seamlessly. The staff was incredibly attentive, welcoming, and fast, making the entire experience feel smooth from start to finish. Since there were five of us, we ordered a variety of dishes to share family-style, which turned out to be the best decision. The absolute star of the table was the pancakes--they are truly outstanding! They nailed both the texture and the flavor: golden on the outside, insanely fluffy on the inside, and rich without feeling overly heavy. The waffles were equally delicious, holding a fantastic crisp on the edges while remaining light in the center. To top it all off, the drink selection was top-tier. Whether you get their specialty coffees or refreshing iced beverages, or even hot tea. Every drink was crafted with care and tasted wonderful alongside the sweet and savory brunch items. It's rare to find a busy weekend brunch spot where both the food and the service shine this brightly. We will definitely be back!

They have a really nice selection of books to browse or buy while enjoying a drink, with a handful of seating options: from regular tables to comfy chairs and sofas. It's the kind of place where you could easily lose track of time and accidentally spend a few hours reading. I ordered an espresso over ice, and honestly... their coffee is pretty damn good. I wasn't expecting much from a place that doesn't primarily specialize in coffee, but I was pleasantly surprised. The jasmine green tea was also really good and refreshing, especially on a hot summer day. The ambiance is probably my favorite part--quiet, cozy, and inviting without feeling too stuffy. Definitely a great little spot to escape to, grab a drink, and browse some books. Would absolutely come back!

Update: After posting my original review, the owner reached out to me personally regarding my experience. I appreciate them taking the time to listen to my concerns, apologize, and make an effort to address the situation. My original experience was disappointing and uncomfortable, but I do respect businesses that are willing to acknowledge customer feedback and work toward making things right. I'm hopeful that future customers will have a much better experience. I had a very disappointing experience at Republik Coffee. On June 8, 2026, I went around 7:40am, there was an asian barista/cashier who took my order was extremely rude and spoke to me in a disrespectful and aggressive manner. I was genuinely surprised by the way I was treated, especially considering that customer service is such an important part of any coffee shop experience. The situation became uncomfortable enough that other customers in line seemed to notice. Several people were looking over as the employee was visibly upset, slamming refrigerator and cabinet doors and creating a tense atmosphere throughout the store. Instead of feeling welcomed, I felt like I was being treated as an inconvenience for simply placing an order. I understand that everyone has stressful days, but there is no excuse for yelling at customers or displaying that level of hostility in a customer-facing role. The coffee and pastries may be good, but the poor service completely overshadowed everything else. I hope management addresses these issues because no customer should feel uncomfortable or disrespected while supporting a local business. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not return or recommend this location. Shame as republik coffee was my daily go-to every morning.. read more

This place is definitely a hidden gem in Duarte! My husband and I stopped by and absolutely loved everything we ordered. We got the butter croissant and the Black Vanilla Latte with almond milk, and wow... both were incredible! The croissant was perfectly warm, buttery, flaky, and fresh. I really appreciated that they warmed it up before serving, it just makes such a difference. The Black Vanilla Latte was the star of the visit. It's made with activated charcoal, giving it a unique look, but the flavor is what really impressed us. It wasn't overly sweet, just perfectly balanced and so smooth. My husband loved it just as much as I did, and it's definitely one of the best specialty lattes we've had. The staff was so kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. They have plenty of parking, comfortable seating both inside and outside, and a clean restroom, which is a nice touch. Our total came out to about $14 for the drinks, and for the quality, freshness, and overall experience, I think it's a very fair price. We'll definitely be coming back every time we're in the area. If you're looking for a great coffee shop with delicious drinks, fresh pastries, and friendly service, Republik Coffee is a must-visit! read more

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

Republik in Monrovia is an absolute gem. The quality of the coffee alone makes it worth the visit. It's smooth, well-balanced, and clearly crafted with care. Whether you're a straight espresso person or into specialty drinks, their signature coffees are creative, perfectly executed, and consistently delicious. And the food... Everything tastes incredibly fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and made with high-quality ingredients, you can tell they care about where their ingredients come from and how the dishes are put together. Every bite feels intentional and elevated, without being pretentious. The combination of exceptional coffee, standout signature drinks, and amazing food makes Republik a must-stop in Monrovia. A place you'll keep coming back to. Highly recommended! read more

Republik Cafe is a charming little spot tucked away in a bustling neighborhood, perfect for a quick coffee or a leisurely brunch. The ambiance is cozy with exposed brick walls and comfy seating, creating a welcoming vibe for remote workers or casual meetups. Their espresso drinks are solid--rich and not overly bitter--with a nice selection of pastries like flaky croissants and muffins that pair well. Service is friendly and efficient, though it can get crowded during peak hours. Prices are reasonable for the quality, making it a reliable go-to for everyday caffeine fixes. Overall, a 4 out of 5--worth checking out if you're in the area! read more
