Coffee Republic is a great coffee shop - Is not as crowded as Starbucks and even though a similar price everything tastes so much much better and fresh.
The staff are very friendly and helpful & the facilities are nice and clean.
It is a lovely cosy & has great relaxing vibe to the shop.
I had a delicious hot chocolate with whipped cream and chocolate cake which tasted homecooked and fresh.
There are also many sandwiches & wraps plus other hot & cold beverages so perfect for a quick bite.
The price was quite fair & I have been back many times if I am in the area and looking for a quiet break.
The Toilets were clean & tidy which was a bonus as I find most are just neglected apart from twice daily cleaning.
10/10 from me for the lovely service & food.]]> Wed, 03 Sep 2008 13:06:07 +0000 /review/uk/birmingham/cafe/1t91a73/coffee-republic/1g7h48511851063 Shining 52.480849972988 -1.8968948687104 http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/birmingham/cafe/1t91a73/coffee-republic/1z2fr8

I don't go in coffee shops very often because they are over-priced, dirty, smell revolting and employ some of the rudest staff. Coffee Republic is the complete opposite. I'd gone in to do an "emergency change" with my little boy - the toilets were very clean with soap and a drier that worked!
They were just closing up but they made us feel like they wanted customers.
My little one asked for a coffee so I got a caramel cappuccino for me which was nice. It wasn't too sweet. It was just right so that I could add sugar to make it to my liking. My little one had a tiny coffee which the ladies made up specially.
The coffee, while it wasn't cheap, was quite reasonably priced. I paid £2.45 for a caramel cappuccino which is about half what I would pay in Starbucks or somewhere like that and it wouldn't have been half as good. I don't think they charged me for the coffee for my little one.
They were so nice, friendly and patient. The coffee was good, the service was great and, if I do go into a coffee shop again, I will be choosing Coffee Republic.]]> Sun, 31 Aug 2008 20:36:19 +0000 /review/uk/birmingham/cafe/1t91a73/coffee-republic/1z2fr81521895745 pumpkinjam 52.480849972988 -1.8968948687104
