Egg Breakfast Toast and Black Vanilla Latte

Miori I.

Already a fan of Republik Coffee in Pasadena, I couldn't pass up the chance to support their new Monrovia location. While it's a lot smaller than the Pasadena spot, it's packed with personality and the same smiling faces greet you at the door. There are a couple of small round tables inside and extra seating outside if you want to enjoy your coffee al fresco. Fun fact: Republik hand-makes all their syrups and even their almond milk! They also offer latte art classes, which is awesome. My husband and I have been interested in learning latte art for a while, so we jumped at the chance to try their Barista Basics class. We ordered: - Black Vanilla Latte - Strawberry Matcha Latte - Lox Bagel - Egg Breakfast Toast A couple pastries were calling to me the entire time we were enjoying our breakfast. As soon as the line cleared I jumped up to the counter to order a couple cookies, olive oil cake, and a ham & cheese croissant to go. Republik is a wonderful little addition to the old town Monrovia scene.

What an AWESOME find! Right in my neighborhood within walking distance of my house!! Delicious food, lovely staff, great ambiance! Service was excellent! Ten stars! I will return! Thank you Republik!

Breakfast toast and Crushed Cardamom Oat Latte

Kathy S.

This place never disappoints. I went for some solo quiet time and enjoyed some breakfast and coffee. Service is always great!

Diana K.

Great service, really good food and coffee. Baristas are friendly and fast. Only downside: place is tiny with barely any seating. More of a grab-and-go spot than a place to hang out. I wish they would have more comfortable seating. Unfortunately, it fills up fast and it also feels hot and smells like burnt butter as they are always cooking behind the counter and the ventilation is poor. (Just limitations of the space/building which is understandable given high rent prices). Order: A pistachio latte + almond croissant. Worth it if you don't need a table.

Hungry grain bowl and Ham & Cheese crepes

Great place for a drink or sit down brunch. Love the energy in here. Order at the counter and find a place to sit inside. There are also outdoor sitting in the front or patio sitting in the back. Drinks are picked up at the counter. Food are delivered to your table. Crepes are served in the afternoon for weekdays or all day on weekends. We tried the ham and cheese crepes and the hungry grain bowl. Of course, have to get my favorite matcha latte. Non dairy milk options are almond, oat and coconut.

I had their purple caramel ube latte and it was incredible! Very creamy, with a light taste of ube without diluting the coffee. The person taking my order was helpful in sharing their recommendations and switching it from a cappuccino to an iced latte. There are wall outlets and great WiFi for a study session!

I am so thrilled to live so close to downtown Monrovia to be able to enjoy all the local restaurants and cafes on weeknights and weekends. The area is so nice and everyone is so friendly. I bookmarked Republik Coffee for the longest time but haven't gotten around to waking up early enough on a "ME DAY" (no kids, no sports, no school events, no volunteering, most importantly no work) to stop by. Sunday morning @ 10:30am - I was lucky enough to find a parking spot right in the front of the restaurant so that was great! The line was out the door but it wasn't anything too crazy. I was able to place my order within less than 5 minutes, which actually gave me enough time to look at the menu. I wasn't too hungry as I usually don't like to eat that much in the morning, so although they have a great selection of breakfast items, I settled for side of two eggs and Turkey Sausages, and of course a cup of London Fog Latte for my IG photo. #PhoneEatFirst Food Rating? I had actually contemplated in ordering the full breakfast for my review. It was actually only $18 so totally inexpensive but I simply don't think I could eat the sides of potatoes, toasts and even an avocado. Wasting food is the last thing on my mind, so I ended up ordering breakfast sides. Surprisingly, it came out nicely plated! I am such a HUGE egg person and always on the haunt for the prettiest egg yolks so the eggs definitely passed the test today! Lol. Perfectly IG photo pleasing so i give that a 10/10. Their Latte? A MUST TRY! It was not too sweet and served at the perfect temperature. I really did enjoyed this so another 10/10. I love the morning vibes here and definitely feel like I was brunching at my favorite cafes in L.A or Pasadena. I highly recommend Republik Coffee in downtown Monrovia! Two thumbs up!

A cute little coffee and brunch place thats with an aesthetic clean modern vibe. Outdoor and indoor seating. Free to park on the street or time limited parking lots in the area. I got the Lavender Oat one of their speciality coffees, it was not too sweet, the lavender flavor had a perfect ratio, and not watered down. The Chilaquiles were flavorful and not too spicy (which is perfect for me because I can't handle too much spice) and its big portions, lots of tortilla chips under. I also tried their daily quiche (mushroom), it was yummy, not too salty, crispy crust, with a cheesy middle. Service was quick. If you are ordering food and coffee, you will be able to get your coffee first!

Jenny C.

The truffle mushroom & Brie signature toast was rich and earthy,. The creamy Brie paired perfectly with the savory mushrooms and truffles. The salmon cucumber toast was light and refreshing . The turkey club panini was warm, crispy, and generously layered with turkey and fresh toppings. Drinks were just as enjoyable -- the black vanilla latte had a smooth bold flavor. The açaí smoothie was refreshing, fruity, and blended perfectly. Overall, a great spot for brunch or a coffee date.

Caitlyn H.

Cute coffee shop in Old Town Monrovia with a really nice atmosphere. I ordered the Vietnamese cold brew and actually really enjoyed that one. I also tried the matcha, but personally it tasted a little too much like plain milk for my preference. I mentioned it to the cashier, and she was so sweet about it and offered to make me a different drink, which I really appreciated. Overall, it's still a nice spot and I would come back again to try some of their other drinks since it's in the area

Ken D.

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.

Destiny M.

Good coffee, rushed service, and really cramped inside. I just got a hot mocha and it had a really good chocolate-y taste to it while still keeping a coffee taste. The food smelled amazing but the prices were a bit much for me (I was already spending a lot that day). The service wasn't unfriendly but they were clearly very rushed. This is a hot spot on a Saturday morning! I was hoping to have a nice coffee and reading time at a cafe vibe but the inside is small and cramped and it was drizzling when I went yesterday morning. They do have tables outside in the front potentially in the back from the looks of it. There's a location closer to me in Burbank so I'll definitely be back to try other drinks and hopefully some food!

I had such a lovely experience at this coffee shop in Monrovia! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in, which instantly made the place feel cozy and comfortable. The drinks tasted amazing -- you can really tell they care about quality. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and made with attention to detail. It's the kind of spot where you can relax, catch up with a friend, or just enjoy a peaceful moment to yourself. Definitely one of my new favorite local coffee spots. I'll absolutely be coming back! read more

I was so looking forward to visiting Republik after my neighbor mentioned she was working there. The decor is nice, although smaller and tighter than I expected. They do not have much of a vegan or even vegetarian selection. My friend and I had difficulty selecting. I decided on the Pink Guava ($7). I like guava flavor, but this drink had no guava flavor. In fact, it was flavorless. Moreover, it tasted like dairy milk, both in flavor and texture. I was surprised when I looked at the description that it said coconut milk because I could not discern any of it. It tasted like a cup of ice filled with dairy milk poured over it. I went up to the cashier and told her it was flavorless and disappointing. She said, Oh, I don't like guava that's why I never order it. She then said, do you want to order something else? I said, sure. I'll just have a house coffee. I was feeling better, until she rang me up for $4! I said, it's $4? She shook her head yes. I said never mind. I regretted having put $2 in the tip jar. It wasn't worth it. My friend and I left shortly after. The staff seem young, low paid, inexperienced or uncertain. If you're looking for a place to be seen that's trending, then this is the ideal location, if you don't care what you eat or drink, and have unlimited money to spend. Otherwise, look elsewhere. There are several more satisfying places nearby. read more

A busy coffee shop. We came in ordered chilaquiles, chicken sandwich, a dark something latte and a matcha. Chilaquiles were missing some flavor but good, sandwiches delicious, the dark something latte it was real good and I don't like coffee but my friend does, my matcha not as good. You pay when you go in, then you go pick up your food. The place has front, indoor and back patio seating. You I do think you should try it out.

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

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

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.

Love the ambiance with both indoor and outdoor seating. The store is small on the inside and definitely busy but not chaotic. You can likely find a seat in the back patio. The coffee is phenomenal! A very smooth yet strong espresso. I got a pistachio latte and I was also able to try my friend's cardamom latte. The pistachio flavor is not very strong but I do get less syrup and it was still delicious. The cardamom latte is nicely spiced, it feels like a warm hug going down. Definitely give it a try if that's up your street! Lastly, the baristas were very kind. I took a long time deciding my order and the barista answered all my questions, provided recommendations, and were flexible with my adjustment requests. The price is on the higher end (usually spending around $8 for a drink) but the quality makes it worth it. The carrot cake was dense rather than fluffy likely due to the almond flour used. Plenty of carrots and nuts inside. read more

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

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.

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.

Service was quick, but unfortunately the matcha latte was one of the worst I've had. It was grainy, bland, and tasted like low-quality matcha, mostly just milk with very little matcha flavor. I didn't even finish it. The food was just fine. The lox bagel was average and not something I'd pay $18 for. The surrounding area is okay, though the walking space feels a bit tight. Indoor seating is limited and lined against the wall, but there is outdoor seating available. read more

Customer service was good! Food was awful! $37 for a stale, overlay crispy, water avocado toast and a tiny (not ASADA) asada burrito. My friend said, and I quote, "this is the worst burrito I've ever had." We didnt have any drinks. Hopefully coffee is better than the food. read more

I decided on ordering an Oaxacan tostada which came completely smothered in black beans, cabbage, queso fresco, and salsa verde. It was refreshing and made for a quick, light snack while also being deceptively filling. While waiting for the order, I noticed their NY Cookies which came in two kinds. One was simply the regular chocolate chip variety, while the other came packed with white chocolate chips, ate de membrillo (quince cheese), and tejocote (hawthorn fruit paste). I decided on the second one and enjoyed the unique flavors of the bits and pieces, even though it was very sweet. All in all, would definitely come back to dine and chill out.

It's subtle and silky, but 20 minutes later, I felt my eyes dilate. WOAH! This caffeine ramps up in the most unsuspecting way. FUN! I appreciated the strength, and I happily savored this coffee's cinnamon & brown sugar tones. (Quick Note: There's no customer internet on the weekend.) I arrived at Grey & Cash (Monrovia) on Friday (around 10:40AM). Parking will require a little walking since street parking is very competitive. Fortunately, there's free parking lots scattered nearby, and it's a brisk walk. Staff is professional and diligent. This business is CRAZY busy! The line kept lengthening. Staff politely and efficiently answered my questions. Once I reached the counter (took about three minutes), my drink arrived very quickly. Took about one minute. As mentioned, I enjoyed the Nitro James Brew ($8.25 - 16oz - Chilled). It has no ice, but it's chilled. The coffee is also silky & soft. Initially, I scoffed at the coffee's strength... but as time progressed, the caffeine kept growing stronger & stronger. WOAH! As someone who drinks daily coffee, it's very rare & unique to feel such almost-frightening power. Regarding ambiance, Grey & Cash (Monrovia) felt busy and cramped despite the large space & tall ceiling. There's about nine tables inside, two tall tables, and five outside tables. The location has a self-service water station, high-chairs for kids, and several electrical outlets (counted about six spots). There's also customer internet with password; customers must ask Staff for the details. Also, there's a gender neutral restroom in the back. Its music is fairly loud, but it's upbeat and fun. Overall, I found something unique and special at Grey & Cash (Monrovia). If you love silky, potent coffee, this is a must-try. WOAH! 4.9 out of 5

They did apologize, but it was still frustrating since we had already asked questions before ordering. Now I understand why it wasn't as busy as the place next door. Unfortunately, it wasn't a great first impression, and we probably won't be coming back.

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.

At room temp, the crumb was fine yet dense and a touch dry. Some flavors were a little gummy. It didn't taste as bad as that sounds, but I was a little disappointed since the cupcakes looked so cute! - Strawberry Vanilla. This vanilla cupcake with real strawberries in the batter was the most moist and airy. However, there were pockets of slight gumminess due to the strawberry. The overall flavor was bland. The pink frosting was regular cream cheese frosting. - Red Velvet. The flavor of the cake was light, but better than the vanilla. It was a little drier than the vanilla, but probably the most well rounded in terms of texture. - Dulce de Leche. This cake was the most firm/dry/dense, but it also had the most flavor with notes of dark caramel. The frosting seemed to contain a mixture of cream cheese and dulce de leche.

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

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

I recently tried the hibiscus drink at Republik, and it was absolutely refreshing. perfectly balanced with just the right amount of sweetness and a light, floral flavor. What made the experience even better was the people there. The staff were incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. Great drinks and even better service. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

Lovely live music. Line to order was fast, the cashier gave recommendations. I tried the raspberry pantry and it was very good. You get a free pastry if you leave a YELP review. Pistachio latte needed more pistachio favor, but the coffee part was rich. read more
