Tired of the same latte from the same old place and craving something fresh, all while supporting a UK brand?
Coffee Republic might be what just you are looking for.
With about 98 million cups of drunk in the UK every day, according to the , is a crucial part of our everyday lives, often setting the tone to the day.
But if you’re after something a bit different, Coffee Republic, with its 30 locations across the UK, offers a unique take on your usual coffee shop experience.
The company was founded in 1995 by Sahar Hashemi and Bobby Hashemi, two siblings who were inspired by the coffee culture they experienced in the US at a time when the UK had a relatively small coffee culture, with only a handful of coffee chains like Starbucks and Costa.

The first coffee shop opened in central London in 1996, bringing the US coffee shop mood to the UK when it really wasn’t a thing yet and now has locations worldwide including in Bahrain, Oman, Qatar, and Spanish airports.
Some fans have taken to TripAdvisor to share their appreciation for the coffee at Coffee Republic and what sets it apart from other more popular coffee chains.
One TripAdvisor user, GeoffSonya K, wrote: “Stopped for a coffee and pastry whilst in the centre of Saint Helier. Whilst we have since read the mixed reviews here, our experience was good (much better than Costa or Starbucks) and we enjoyed 30/45 minutes of people watching in the sunshine. Service was good if not exceptional.”
Last summer another user called Karen G also said: “Called here a couple of times. Much better tasting coffee than the usual High Street ones and I like my coffee hot and in a mug!

“Really popular early morning as people were getting their coffee/drinks and snacks to go. The iced drinks/smoothies etc and the pastries looked lovely too.
“Really quick service and plenty of outside tables to sit and enjoy your drink whilst watching the world go by.”
