Coffee Republic in Eastbourne

Amazing tall coffee, finally enough big for me 😆 love the cakes as well. Stuff is very polite. Will come back soon.😊

A new town , a new find- an independently run coffee shop in Eastbourne. Well-lit, elegantly decorated and most importantly serving nice blend of coffee and various other drinks. My first but definitely not a last visit here. .

Great food, definitely buying from again

Macy is the hardest most dedicated worker ive seen in years honestly i would highly recommend going there to see her pearly whites , she definitely needs a pay rise, her energy towards people is outstanding, her personality is bubbly and amazing. Highly recommend this place. 5 stars from me

Amazing coffee and friendly staff

Eastbourne branch on a quiet Sunday. Staff really quite unenthusiastic and selection of sandwiches very poor. I opted for a goats cheese toastie. This was Pre packed and placed in an oven/grill for 1m 43 seconds. It seemingly cooked on one side and the centre uncooked. The Bottom was just warmed soggy bread. It tasted incredibly bland. I don’t get the feeling anyone cares here about presentation (the tables outside were filthy). I may as well have given £5 to a homeless person to get something nice elsewhere, the sandwich was dire. Remeber is was Sunday that awful sandwich had a Tuesday label on it. I dread to think how bad that Would have been three days later!

Shame I can’t give it 5 stars, personally I would but I’ve introduced many people to this lovely cafe, however they have all complained the music is always Too loud! and go back to the other coffee establishment where music is rightfully played as a background. The service here is friendly and efficient, plenty of comfy seats inside and out on the large terrace, place is kept clean, coffee and food good and reasonable price, there is only one loo for all which is the other gripe from my guests. Personally I will keep trying to convert them but please please keep the music in the background.

Coffee was perfect . Made just how we like it.

Maisie is brilliant friendly and always has a smile and customer service is fab makes coming in a nice experience

Very good coffee and good value

Very nice coffee shop. Big size drinks still cheaper than medium Costa or Starbucks and still better than others. Cool place to chill

Stone cold and coffee was all over the place, lucky if we got half a cup each

I really enjoyed my hot chocolate, toastie & red velvet cake.

Izzy and Niamh in my opinion make the best coffee. The other girls are always in a rush.

Delivery super fast. Croissants are amazing from here and the flat white is a dream! Excellent coffee house.

Great place for a bite to eat and dog friendly.

no matter how busy they‘re always super friendly. Thank you

Friendly staff good coffee and ideal for people watching

When I walk into this cafe I am overcome by such calmness. The food tastes great and the decaf cappuccinos are the best. If you want the best cheese and tomato panini macey is the best at making those. In fact macey interacts with customers really well. The staff certainly do give you a service with a smile.

Really happy with the variety and portions. Only thing I felt a little negative about was the bubble tea straw not being sealed, though I can respect it is perhaps an environmentally aware decision to not provide plastic-encased plastics. That aside, all yummy everything, and I would recommend and order again.

Having a coffee from Tall Guy is often the highlight of my day. The staff are friendly and service is fast. You can taste the quality in the coffee compared to other ‘chain’ places so it always feels like a treat. I thoroughly recommend their Cinnamon Swirl coffee which is the best drink ever and so glad it remained on the menu after being rebranded from Coffee Republic last year.

Tall guy coffee is my favourite coffee shop in eastbourne.the coffee tastes amazing and the customer service is brilliant. The girls especially macy always make me feel so welcome.she always goes above and beyond for me

Best place in Eastbourne to relax have a cuppa and good food. Staff always have a chat and are very polite so if you ain't been do so soon 💗

I just wanted to say, WOW! This coffee shop is absolutely amazing! The staff, especially Macy, were incredibly polite and made my experience even better. Macy is definitely an asset to the company. And let's not forget about the beautiful coffee they serve! Thank you so much to this coffee shop for such a fantastic experience! Macy is the best ❤️

I've been dining here for 4 years and always enjoy it

Ordered takeaway from here via ubereats. I get that it was a busy Saturday morning, but it took over an hour for 2 panini's and a coffee. The poor ubereats delivery person had to go back to get the coffee as they forgot it, then it was packaged badly so she had to go to another restaurant to ask for a bag, as the coffee was spilling in her delivery bag. My panini was untoasted and covered in coffee, but it tasted ok. The coffee was great though, I'd go here for a coffee again but not food or take out.

Nice coffee friendly great chairs

Possibly the best coffee we've had in Eastbourne! Friendly staff. Haven't tried any food...yet.

Great place to chill and read a book and nice coffee.

While service was great, my daughter left an item in the cafe and trying to phone to ask if it had been handed in , is shocking..... Spent an hour trying to get through and no answer.

Very good independent coffee shop. Always good coffee and friendly staff

Food was terrible. Stale baguette with microscopic filling. Never again

reasonable place for take away coffee fast service

Your map has my address marked incorrectly and the drivers have to ealk back too far!

The Ladies who serve are polite and respectful. That’s from me and Bubbles xx come in every morning. The Americano is good and the pastries are fine.

Fantastic coffee and absolutely wonderful staff.

Been coming here for years, lovely staff and great coffee :) recommend the chai lattes!

Fantastic food and drinks, my personal favorites being the oat milk cappuccino and waffles with cream for my daughter! Theres a good variety of hot and cold drinks and hot and cold food, from pastries to toasted sandwiches and baguettes. The staff are so friendly, welcoming and helpful, whats more, its a local, independent coffee shop!

Tall Guy is just a very high quality place! Everything was so beautifully cooked and hot. Coffee is delicious, nice and hot. Staff are really nice and good with their customers too. Been looking for a decent cafe since moving here and finally found it! Thanks. I'll be back.

I often drink coffee and it is delicious I just wanted to share with you my opinion on the food . I recently ordered an oreo coffee muffin 🥧 The cupcake when it stood behind the glass looked perfect😻 but when i try there and I have to say that it was the worst muffin I have ever had in my life 🤮 hard as stone, totally tasteless, after trying this muffin for half a day my stomach hurt🤕 The cupcake tasted as if it had been there for a month, and I must add that the price was not small for such a thing.🤢

Staff allow people to eat food on their premised from other food outlets without asking them to purchase something from tall guy or move on

Service wasn’t good and drinks wasn’t the best

Great coffee but it did leak quite a bit in the bag. Breakfast roll seemed to lack sauce but still tasted good.

The coffee was pretty tasteless; the toasted sandwich was barely warm, the cheese unmelted and the bread soggy; the panini was warm but again the cheese.was unmelted and only the cut ends of the panini bore witness to a toaster having been used; the icing on the cinnamon buns came away on the paper bags. The bakewell tart was apparently very nice and my husband enjoyed it when he got home from work

A real regular and reason great coffee and so relaxed - Staff alway very friendly - clean and very comfortable inside - room outside if sun is out

Loved coming here. Friendly helpful staff . Clean establishment.We will be back. Thank you for the fab coffees

Visited Coffee Republic the other day and had a lovely flavored latte and a panini. The staff as always were very friendly and polite. Even offered to take the guys order behind me to his table as they saw he had a walking stick. Bumped into a friend and had a good catch up. Tables were pretty clean with no orders just left.

We visited on a Sunday morning, it was quiet and we got served pretty quick. We ordered s cappucino and hot chocolate that were both served in large mugs . Both drinks were barely warm and the spoons they gave us were dirty. The staff were ok.

I visited this coffee shop with my elderly mother and the young girl behind the counter treated up with contempt and derision. Will never visit this place again. Terrible service.

It was cold , ordered 2 paninis with extra tomatoes, cheese and one with extra onions. No label to say which had extra onions. Not sure how there was extra tomato when there was only one slice , couldn’t work out which had extra onion as couldn’t taste /see it in either one.

Milkshake spilled all over food

Very nice coffee and open early with quick delivery would recommend

Very poor service from what appears to be schoolgirls. Cups half full. Real service with a grimace. Great setting but wont be back.

the staff are incredibly rude and bitchy they huddle up gossiping and make it seem like a huge effort to make you a coffee The toilets are filthy. used to be good, loved there coffees but has gone downhill.

Food was in bits, and the vegan sausage roll was rock solid

No Brie in the bacon and Brie panini. Dry and horrible

The toast was not eveb toasted enough and the filling tasted off

When all you need to do is take a break, look after yourself, then look no further than here. I regularly visit, as I am guaranteed of feeling welcome, a friendly atmosphere and treated as a person not a statistic. It is very easy in society these days to criticise and we forget to compliment when things are good. There are many other similar shops to choose from, though being kind and caring for people is priceless and this is what makes the product, service and staff in Coffee Republic genuinely the best in town. I have always walked out happier than when I have walked in! A much deserved thank you and keep up the great work!

Way too expensive for what it is!

I’ve ordered several times from here now. Everything always arrives hot and the cookies are incredible. Definitely recommend.

We visit regularly in the mornings for breakfast - very friendly staff and helpful - excellent Coffe and a good range of choices for snacks - see you all soon for a tall late 😄

My favourite coffee place in Eastbourne. Their coffee tastes strong and beautiful as coffee should, so many places we've been to it tastes like hot brown milk in a cup, Coffee Republic has 5 stars from us. The staff are all professional and polite, especially the manager Chris. There's a lovely relaxed atmosphere and many regulars which tells me people are of the same opinion as us, which is theres no point going anywhere else in town !

On of the friendliest, cosy, lovely and accommodating places to have a nice cuppa. I will be coming back weekends. Perfect relaxing spot to visit. The best breakfast with egg and bacon baguette, coffee, hot chocolate and beat mint tea ever. You can even bring your laptop and do some work.

Excellent coffee and very pleasant staff. Helpful and once they get to know you as a regular customer, they are very organised in the service.

Dirty place, no toilettes available and unapologetic about it.

It’s not here but says delivered

Ordered a Brie and cranberry panini. Got half a baguette with cranberry sauce in. And a sliver of Brie in one end?! £5 for that too. I’ve ordered the exact same item before a few times and it’s never a baguette it’s usually a panini filled with Brie and cranberry. Not a cranberry sauce filled baguette. That’s not a Brie and cranberry panini 🤦🏼‍♀️

What a wonderful place, warm and welcoming! You can stay or take away upto you. The staff are well trained and friendly. A good place to meet friends or just relax after shopping. We had an English tea, spiced chai latte and croissants. My spiced chai latte was so so brilliant 👏 But the reason for my 3 star review is this place need a good scrub. The fabric chairs were so bleak and sticky. The tray looked like it has not been washed for ages! Not impressed just because of your hygiene. Rest is so good and I wonder why they don't take care of this even after getting same reviews as mine.

Really nice food and good coffee!!

Good quality coffee, nice service all the time, staff ✌️👍

Great quality food, nice and hot when arrived, nice delivery driver too 🥰

Called in today, after ordering my Coffee filthy/surly girl behind counter sneezed into her hand then proceeded to pick up a mug and make my drink, no attempt to use a tissue, sneeze into elbow etc nor did she wash her hands. Luckily I had antibac wipes/gel with me to clean everything. Use this place often but adherence to Covid guidelines is appalling. Earlier in the year when restrictions were tighter, never any hand sanitizer supplied, a requirement by law. I'm surprised they haven't had a visit from public health England.

Our usual specialist coffee shop was full so not having been to a branch of CR for years we decided to give this place a go. The cappuccino I had was supposed to be the smallest they do but was still a mug full. It was a very decent coffee and the cafe is airy and comfortable.

Overall very good but products are a touch over priced!

Best coffee around , no doubt ! Thanks Mac

The food from Coffee Republic is always amazing - I order as a treat while working from home often. Today my sister had the vegan sausage roll and said it's better than Gregg's.

I wouldn’t really call the strawberry smoothie a smoothie more a slushy also not the greatest taste also the milkshake was very watery!

Friendly staff. Latte was below par. Too foamy

1 star due to the shouting coming from outside here by the staff. The young female staff shouting and swearing unfortunatley they could be heard from outside poundland! Very unprofessional!

Caramel traybake had been crushed and melted upon delivery

I get coffee and breakfast delivered here while working sometimes. It is always spot on. The food is really flavoursome, the coffee is great and the traditional lemonades are so refreshing

Delicious drinks and flaky croissants.

Bubble tea was knocked over in bag and had spilt over everything else

Nice food and sweet written messages! Appreciate the effort put in 😊

I bit into a distinctly meaty vegan sausage roll - gross - the thought of eating meat is disgusting to me. I accept mistakes happen but you need to get your labelling right when putting an order together.

The food was lovely as always, but the coffee hadn't been packaged properly and had spilt all over the driver's bag. Luckily the sandwich and sausage roll was packaged in foil bags but I got no coffee. The driver was such a happy guy and was amazing and so apologetic. The staff had drawn smiley faces so the order did brighten my day even if I do have no coffee, it's just one of them things

Amazing drinks! Mocha and bubble teas was lovely and the milkshakes are insane! Definitely recommend🤩

Panini delicious, sausage roll could’ve been a little bit warmer but it’s difficult to criticise when dining in cafe is unavailable at the moment. Very good though :)

Our drinks were spilt, leaving us with drinks left half empty and the bag leaking everywhere.

No option to choose skimmed milk. Also breakfast rolls very mean in size and quantity of filling! Small rolls and not enough filling

Lovely bubble tea one of the only places in Eastbourne that sells it ! Not too expensive ( £3.50 ) considering places in Brighton sell bubble tea for almost £5 ! , would definitely go back .

Coffee Republic itself is amazing, so apologetic for the late delivery. Food is always amazing. An all round amazing team at Coffee Republic . However Just eat had no drivers and when a driver was found they did not follow the delivery instructions. They rang me and I had to find the car to collect my order.

The strawberry tea was missing its popping bubbles & the apple milky tea tasted only of milk, not of apple.

You never have any triple chocolate croissants in stock :(

Still paid full price even though I didn't receive the 2 croissants instead I received a cookie because I assume they ran out of croissants. Would of preferred a refund for the missing croissants.

The coffee and other hot drinks are very good. The food is terrible. Stick to coffee and avoid the small overpriced food stuffs. They do not taste nice and you have an afternoon of repeats.

Nice food. Coffee akin to crack. Exactly what I need in the morning.

Great food and coffees, recommend the milkshakes! delivered super quick, very carefully packaged, and friendly polite delivery driver, likely to order again

I'd already ordered from here earlier on after the driver accidentally spilling coffee. I received a lovely message and my drinks nicely secured. Thank you for your good service. Wishing the happiest of Christmas and New year

Food was cold. Driver accidentally dropped all my drinks at the door which was an accident said he was going to get them replaced
