Coffee Republic is a new, locally owned cafe in the heart of downtown Cedar Rapids. This location has been a traditional coffee stop for over twenty years and is now under new ownership and manage…
The Breakfast Sammy was just right and really hit the spot. The Mocha was really nice, and not too sweet. I would say it's more of a "traditional" espresso drink vs a super sweet Starbucks style espresso drink, which was a pleasant surprise!

Very limited food menu,egg and cheese sandwhich was okay but overpriced. Ordered 2 cinnamon rolls and they only had 1, took one bite and threw the rest away because it's not soft and fresh at all. Smallest cinnamon roll I've ever been served (it looks bigger in the photo because we pulled it apart to see if the centr would be soft - it wasnt). Iced coffee is okay, boyfriend liked his cappuccino and macchiato. Definitely won't be purchasing again.

We tried Coffee Republic a while ago, it was so delicious and nearby our work place! Should be a quick easy delivery, but they take just as long as a places across town to prepare orders.
Since my first order, it has declined in quality each consecutive order. It doesn't seem to matter what flavors you ask for in the coffees or how much you pay extra for them, they are always the same. Save yourself the money and don't add flavor, the Mocha is still good!
I also used to love the Sunny Side up (Sammy). But recently it is just egg and cheese on bread. It's consistently missing the yummy peppery housemade aioli that really makes it so good and worth the price. This time, I got a whole sandwich instead of just a half, however, so that made up for the disappointment a little. Also, the egg was a very unappetizing color, but still tasted fine.
Overall, the quality has declined enough that I am often disappointed in what I receive for the price. I will not be ordering from here as often as I used to.

Quiche was overdone and it appeared as if you chose ingredients on Doordash but received bacon instead? Should probably change the format if its not "make your own". I also got the hot Mocha which was okay, I prefer Caribou because they use real chocolate.

Food and coffee taste pretty good! The sandwich was a bit soggy but overall still good. Good price on the coffee for how much you get!
