Crema's Take
“Coffee Republic on Trade Street radiates a genuinely welcoming energy where the team—especially standouts like Jojo and Josh—make everyone from families with special needs children to solo coffee enthusiasts feel seen and valued. Their espresso-focused menu shines through pour overs and traditional drinks crafted with care, all served in a bright, inviting space that's equally suited for lingering over a pastry or getting work done on your laptop.”

Hi I stopped in to pickup a DoorDash order and I was actually excited because I’ve been wanting to try this place. I walked in and the energy was cold. I wasn’t greeted for quite some time and the two employees appeared to have “I don’t want to be here energy”. I was finally assisted and was able to pick up the DoorDash order I was there for and I even purchased a bottled juice but I probably won’t ever come back for myself. At the price point they have, I can go somewhere a lot friendlier.
This place was bright, clean and inviting from our first step in. Julia greeted us with a warm smile, helpful info about the menu and kindness throughout. Jonah and the rest of the team were awesome as well! The happy energy here provided an uplifting vibe before we even got our coffee. And… the chicken sausage, egg and cheese sandwich was SO delicious! My red eye coffee hit the spot too with perfect balance! We totally recommend this spot!
Popped into Coffee Republic on Trade Street and Jojo was honestly awesome. He was super welcoming, made me feel comfortable, and even joked around a little which made the wait fly by. My order was perfect, and you could tell he actually cares about making customers happy. Definitely one of the best customer service experiences I’ve had at a coffee spot.
Josh was patient, quick, and helpful. We have four children and one of them is our precious special needs girl. He was quick on the draw a great recommender of different options and helpful. We loved it!
Enjoyed a VERY warm and inviting atmosphere at this cute little shop! Jojo was extremely kind & very helpful! The food was hot & the coffee was tasty. Absolutely would recommend checking them out!
