Coffee Republic in Tower Hamlets

Dirty tables and uncleaned cups, with marks of lipstick.

Nos reunimos con un amigo, y los dos tuvimos una bebida caliente y un delicioso pastel! Los pasteles eran excepcionalmente frescos. Fue un día hermoso, así que nos sentamos afuera, lo que se sumó al disfrute. Lugar muy limpio, servido rápidamente, volverá de nuevo.

Plenty of choice of coffees and drinks. Friendly and helpful staff.

Had a iced latte. Was very sub par. Coffee wasn't the best tasting. Atmosphere also not the greatest. Lot of customers sat outside smoking, creates an unpleasant experience.

Impressive choices from hot/cold ruby chocolate, pistachio freezers to fine teas at Coffee Republic at Whitechapel. They also do NHS discounts.

Absolutely love it here. I come with friends before work every Thursday for a catch up. The service, drinks and atmosphere is great. Jui is always so friendly and knows our order off by heart by now!

5 stars for an absolutely delicious cafe latte! I have to say it was the best coffee I purchased in this area so far. Milk temperature and texture spot on, great flavour! Nice one (from former barista and coffee lover!)

My sister and I had a wonderful time. The coffee was great and the atmosphere was lovely. We were served by two lovely and friendly staff by names Aya and Jui. They gave us a nice service with a constant smile on their face. We will definitely be back here the next time we are in the area.

Given me the WRONG panini for the second time (and I’ve only been there twice), please ensure you remember what panini is in the white bag you’ve just put it in and call out the same right panini when giving it to customers. If it is too hard, write it on the paper bag!! Chicken is not cheese!!

Simply awesome! Delicious sandwiches. It doesn't matter which one you choose, all of them are fresh, natural and incredibly tasty

First time getting hot chocolate me and my friend found it very weak hardly any chocolate disappointing….

I really enjoyed my iced americano here, honestly some of the best black coffee I have had in a long time, they definitely prioritise quality here. Nice space available for working and friendly staff, I would definitely come back again! Well priced as well for the area!

Very good both food and service.

Caffè Easy for an unpretentious breakfast but a clean environment, friendly staff and honest prices. You can go safely. The only complaint is that the service is a little slow.

need to ask for combo to get into toilet

Sometime the taste of cofee of good and someday it's otherwise so it's depends who makes it so I'd give it 4 out of 5. However their service is good enough to recognise!!

One of the best places for having hot drinks or shake in Whitechapel. Nice and lovely atmosphere and friendly staff.

Starbucks and other famous places doesn't offer ceramic mugs. Lovely

Friendly staff and fast service, even though there were ten minutes left before closing, they treated us very well. The chocolate was very good but the cappuccino was a bit weak in coffee.

Coffee always tastes so good here and is prepared with care. Such friendly staff, spotless interior, and cheaper than other chains - this is my favourite coffee shop in London, and one I always make special effort to return to when I'm back in the city. Also a great journaling place

Very good coffee. Food was nice and fresh and staff provide a good service. They do nhs discount and have a lot of seating availablw inside.

American tourist recovering from emergency surgery at London Royal Hospital. The food here is okay but not a lot of variety so I thought I would test my barely working legs and get some takeaway. First problem is I had no cash or credit cards so I needed to use Apple Pay - no problem, Coffee Republic is properly wired. Second, I’m walking in off the street with a kind of unsteady gait wearing pajama pants, would they even let me in? No problem, smiles all around. I bought a really delicious caprese sandwich for one meal and a chocolate croissant for another, along with some fruit juice. Took it back to my room and had it for lunch and dinner, quite delicious. The sandwich was meant to be heated before being eaten but I didn’t really have an option for that so just packed it in cold, and was happy. No reason this place should get anything other than five stars. If I could make one improvement I’d like to see a better selection of fruit juices. Maybe they were there and I just couldn’t see them. Anyways tiny storefront, not much seating inside, less outside, so this needs to be your takeaway spot. Should have gotten a coffee because reviewing a coffee shop on food only is a little lame, but man I am still really whipped from my surgery. Sorry!

Love CR coffee. It's strong with a lovely strong coffee taste. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. They offer NHS discount. Great friend atmosphere and comfortable seating.

Poor costumer service. I’ll try any other place next time

Nice coffee size and good service. It is very warm though, the air conditioning must be broken a lot

Staff are lovely, they do a great job. Lovely coffee as well. The council discount is a nice gesture!

Dirty mugs, stale croissants. Stellar prices. Indecent combo. Avoid

Brioches from lidl overpriced. cappuccino served in a broken and dirty mugs.

It's a coffee place, I like the fact they offer discount to the NHS employees. It's truly the little things that make a big difference in service.

The coffee really hit the spot and omg I wish I could have more of their croissant 🥐 so warm and buttery I'm 🤤 just thinking about it.

Best coffee shop in Whitechapel Specially toilet are very tightly and clean. If you want to referring yourself with a cup of coffee and do something on laptop or mobile you should go this coffee shop, highly recommend this place.

Worst customer service - especially one girl keeps showing her attitude to customers. If you want to have a bad morning then go there.

Friendly service, great coffee, good value for money.

They have amazing pizza. I'm coming this place often. I recommend.

I asked them for a drink with lactose and they didn’t want to give it to me! Just because i had asked for a milk alternative before!! and then changed my mind into having milk. That’s just ridiculous! They even said thank you when I left without serving me the milkshakes no matter what. 😂🙂👍

Lovely big mugs of coffee. Very nice toastie sandwiches also. Ok, maybe try the almond croissants too 😁 Discounts for postal workers, NHS and London Underground staff. Ensure to ask for the discount.

Great coffee place, good prices

Prices are phenomenal. They’re cheap. The toastie I choose was very tasty. Coffees were great. I needed to bite a few from the muffin for the taste to come through but once it happened it was nice. It wasn’t exceptional that’s why I give 4 stars instead of 5 but it was great.

Ordered beans on toast. Staff didn’t start making it until 30 minutes after I ordered.

Good coffee at a reasonable price.

Amazing customer service! Everything halal !! My latte didn't need sugar it was sweet enough and tasted of a good quality coffee. I work in the Royal mail delivery office , being new, I didn't know we posties recieve discount however the man at the counter kindly offered this to me , which is rare in this day and age to be appreciated. Thankyou for your excellent customer service. Highly recommended this cafe.

The service is very good. The staff Jui is very nice and gave me best service in the morning.

This supposed to be the "Full English Breakfast " for £8.. You don't get any sausages, mushrooms, hashbrowns or fries.. if you want to add extras hashbrowns £1 each.. tasteless food.. its a ripoff..

Meh, every little thing cost extra, even cream, and they should have more bins.

احدى المقاهي المفضلة لدي ، بن جيد و الموظفين لطفاء جدا وصاحب المقهي شخصية مرحة و طيبة

Good for coffee lovers, My husband loves there coffee they do nice milkshakes as well

Coffee was alright but the staff were rude. I was there for about an hour and they were rude from the time I was there to the time I left

We stopped here for drinks whilst my friend was in the Royal London and it was really nice. The fruit frappes were seriously good. Friendly staff and clean.

Seriously, this must be the dirtiest branch I have been to. The place looked tired and worn, staff looked unkempt, there were flies sitting on the pastries, as no cover on it. When I pointed it out to them, they moved one pastry and resumed serving customers with rest of it. There was a staff member prepping sandwiches in the back room, which was open, I observed she had no gloves on. It was awful.

Very nice staff and lovely food. Ate breakfast and drank an ice coffee. Would definitely come back.

Nice coffee from Susanna!! Had a double espresso and a panini was very nice :) will come back thank you!!

Kleines Kaffe gut fürs schnelle Frühstück bei uns von der Lage zur Unterkunft sehr gut gelegen. Guter Cappuccino und frische croissant

mediocre coffee from a mediocre area. what do you expect

Definitely the local experts in all things Cafe! Keep it up guys!

Buon caffè e personale sempre disponibile! Siamo stati qui diverse volte durante le visite ad un paziente e ci siamo sempre trovati bene! Un grazie speciale alla simpaticissima Susanna! ———- Great choice to rest here in a cosy place!Great coffee and super friendly staff. A great thanks to Susanna we welcomed us so nicely!

Great big drinks and nice environment.

Full English breakfast price at £6.99 you get what’s in the picture, no sausage, no hashbrown, no mushrooms, no chips plus a cup of coffee that’s half full of foam. Furthermore the food tasted awful & I felt nauseous.

Cafe riquísimo, grande y económico! Muy recomendable! La camarera Melanie muy simpática! 😊

One of the best coffees I've had.

At a time when hygine couldn't be more important I found this place to be one of the most cleanest shops around Whitechapel. Every table, chair and floor was cleaned after service, not even the big brand names do that nowdays to be honest. Warm and clean Cafe with a good selection of drinks and food. I certainly enjoyed the friendly service and my hot cuppa chocolate with cookies.

Quality panini's, open til late, would recommend

Good friendly service and great tasting coffee.

Jui (member of staff) is lovely. Always pleasant and have been so many times she now knows my order. Nice little place with a pleasant atmosphere.

10 on 10 customer service Sunday 430 will come back soon

Jui makes the best cappuccinos in Whitechapel and she makes my day! 😊

Awesome coffee, great friendly staff. Very clean and tidy. All covid secure.

Tramezzino tonno e cetrioli buono veramente bello fresh

Went with my wife for a morning brunch ordered full English for myself, wife had chicken tikka panini with a regular latte, we both enjoyed it. Perfect place after dropping kids to school.

They offer a 10% to the local school which is a bonus

Staff are very friendly and really nice but food is less than average. Their Sandwiches used to be better. In general good place to set and have a drink while you are around Whitechaple hospital

Walked in for a take away coffee and strawberry mocha. Staff was friendly. Strawberry mocha not enough cream or chocolate sauce. I asked the member of staff serving. Apparently it sank in! If proper cream was topped up then it wouldn't sink. Coffee latte was tasteless even after asking for double shot. Ordered Victoria's sponge cake and this was dry and hard as anything. Clearly has been sitting in the display for too long and definitely not fresh! Very disappointed! Not sure if I will be back.

Nice coffee and tea. Hot chocolate not so nice. ok for morning, food not so good not much options but nice to eat in good atmosphere and good customer service.

The latte was terrible. They gave me cheap coffee with a lot of water and a foam with huge unattractive made-of-water bubbles like from cheap coffee machines. As a coffee fan must say this place is a disaster. Almost vomited.

Excellent place for a cake and a good coffee

We always have a good experience in coffee republic. Fantastic staffs, great coffee, good sitting arrangements:) love it:)

Very clean, bright, and the staff is very polite and kind. Particularly appreciated that my hot chocolate wasnt boiling host as it is the case elsewhere. I was offered to wash the apple just bought for my son, which is nice gesture. The place itself is modern, very clean, and confortable. Good choice of food and drinks, and normal prices. Will come back for sure!

Delicious tuna melt toastie & fruit smoothie. Will be back for more. Nice & clean in there too.

Very expensive large hot cup of water. They served it as Tea. 🍵

Fairly good selection of food. Thier breakfast bun is really tasty.

They make the best chai latte here. Very friendly staff too specially flavie who was kind, chatty and smiled the whole time I was in the shop.

Worst hot chocolate I have ever tested! Sorry but if your coustmer is going to pay the same price at Costa and Starbucks then the least you could do is give a decent coffees. Would not come back here again.

Went to Coffee Republic the other day and ordered a cappucino. I was very disappointed with the cappuccino it had no flavour and was very weak. Nescafe from a jar was much better than this.

Proporciona un respiro los domingos por la tarde de todos los cxxx en el mercado de Whitechapel. Bastante limpio y servicio con media sonrisa! Una mejor opción que la pequeña Costa al otro lado de la carretera.

If I could give no stars I would. I love the coffee Republic chain, but this store is the worst one I have ever stepped into. Completely disregarded what I was saying about my order. Very rude and disrespectful. Didn't tell me that they were out of white hot chocolate, gave me regular instead. Manager argued with me and would not set it right. Will never step foot in this shop again.

Temps en temps je me repose de rencontrer ce lieu de nostalgie

Great coffee shop with qualitative and tasty coffee!! Love coming here! The staff are polite, friendly, helpful and prompt. They look after me well and I feel valued as a customer. I totally recommend this place to everyone working in the area. Also, I love the fact that it is quite quiet when I visit and don't have to queue for long.

Très bon café à petits prix, super accueil !

The coffe isn't so good and quite overpriced

Ambiente alla mano, pratico, con molte prese per caricare laptop e cellulari. Buona proposta per la colazione. Unica pecca riscontrata un po' in tutta Londra: imparate a fare il cappuccino, please^^ Bella la schiuma, ma il caffè che sa di bruciato no, vi prego :)

I don't come here often but the quality of coffee has never disappointed me. Well done Coffee republic.👏👏

We went to the Hackney branch for breakfast. We wanted the 5 Pound special of a toastie and coffee but were 20 min early. So they served us amd said to pay after so the 20 minutes could elapse. That's service. The coffee was good and toastie also more than acceptable. And at a great price.

A "small" coffee is more than enough. Good coffee.

Coffee mediocre. Souless interiors with bad music and poor attention to details. Lovely staff.

the coffee is excellent and the reception is at the top .. I recommend it for the place and the environment a little Italian

I just wanted breakfast, they didn't have any eggs.. ?

Nice place, use it for meetings sometimes. Near the tube station, , average prices and coffee is decent enough. Staff are very friendly and service is quick. Happy to visit again.

I really enjoyed my caramel machiato... It was delish

Not very taste and the waiter wasn't very nice, my chocolat was full of chocolat with a lot of sugar... Not very taste again

Coffee is ok but service needs serious improvement including cleaning. Boxes on the floor, dirty tables, noisy toilet hand dryer, you feel sitting in the middle of a bus stop - no sense of comfort. Moreover, they don't bother to serve your order to table but will shout loud when your order is ready. Tissue paper is kept separate to the condiments table so you keep running here and there to find stuff for you. Needs improvement, not going there in near future.

Pretty bog standard, coffee ok but I prefer Costa beans, great location - not much choice at present in E1 so not much to compare against. friendly staff
