Serious EatsJuly 7, 2014Located near the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library (the main public library in the city), Republic offers indoor and outdoor seating with a full coffee menu, as well as a range of snacks.
Skinny Vanilla Latte & Cobb Salad are the BEST! Have w/ balsamic vinaigrette dressing! Accommodating! Allergic to nuts & eat fairly healthy. They always remove the nuts & bacon for onions & craisins!
Kyla WagnerSeptember 27, 2013First check in, you get a free flavor in your latte! Great place for a quiet date or to get your studying on!
City SaverMarch 21, 2013Use your Memphis City Saver coupons to receive TWO offers for one free menu item when a second menu item of equal or greater value is purchased (up to $12 Value). Dine in Only!
Kathryn MarburyOctober 8, 2013This is my favorite coffee shop because the atmosphere is so calm and the cinnamon rolls are delicious!
Get the de Niro. Seems like a simple sandwich but the super sharp cheese, thick bacon and fluffy eggs combine to make it more than the sum of it's parts.
Late hours, free wifi, tables great for studying. Great, locally-roasted coffees!
Don't be fooled by the "free WiFi" sign on the window. I've never once been able to get it to work. It shows full bars, but you can't connect to anything (at least on an iPhone, I should say).
I love this place, but if you are going to do work, be warned that the WiFi is absolutely unreliable. And I keep coming back.
Shelby MannDecember 27, 2013The banana mocha is really good. The banana flavoring is super subtle but extremely delicious.
Glyn VandenbergJanuary 18, 2012the carrot souffle is a hot, orange pile of deliciousness. It's sweet and rich, best side on the menu
Chanel BrownNovember 2, 2015*Note to Self: Come for breakfast (cheap):
WiFi can be pretty lame, but don't let that stop you. Chai lattes are wonderful, as is the Vegas.
Check out the latte list. It's extensive, and there are some great unique drinks to try.
Kimberly WatsonAugust 27, 2011Delicious! Try the nashville with the cheese grits. And the staff is so sweet and helpful.
stiQRdSeptember 20, 2011One of the best meeting places in Memphis. The foundational meetings of stiQRd were held in this Memphis landmark.
Angela HulseyFebruary 9, 2012If your here you oughtta run around back and relax at one community! Ms heather will hook you up mnd body and spirit
Ashley AkinMarch 30, 2011Girlscout mocha is fantastic, iced or hot. Only way you can get thin mints year round.
Mercury Tech Coffee: Monday mornings a group gets together between 8am and 9am to discussion technology, start-ups, and innovation.
Love the atmosphere but very hard to order-& the most confusing restaurant in town.
Cherry Dr. Pepper and cafe ole with chocolate and caramel best drinks i've had here
Jenny GentryAugust 7, 2014The strawberries and cream French Toast was pretty delicious.... The chips and salsa not so much.
The Calkins is amazing and so is the Mac and cheese.
Love the atmosphere, mango tea and McKnight sandwich. Wifi is spotty tho.- If you are coming to do internet work, be warned that their Wi-Fi is very spotty and keeps shutting down. Hopefully, they will fix it soon.
The Commercial AppealJuly 3, 2010Make sure to check out their bagel menu. The hummus here is good as well.
If you like your coffee real, your cappuccino correct, and your mocha sweet like southern tea...
Check out the guy with the repuplic top hat! He gives awesome service!
Highly recommend the Madrid, served only at brunch on weekends!- A year since my last review and the Wi-Fi is still as bad here as it was then.
Michele McCurrachDecember 17, 2009Go to Republic coffee in Memphis on Walnut Grove Road before work, fireup your laptop with their free wireless, have a coffee and a bagel- Get the McKnight sandwich with tofu. And ask for Sadie.
Mary Ruth JordanSeptember 30, 2012Food and coffee fantastic!! Our server horrible, she was soooo rude!!!- Friendly staff. Good lattes. Good variety. Shady wifi.
- You can have your eggs cooked in olive oil instead of butter if you ask.
Elizabeth CalkinsMarch 13, 2012Somehow this place managed to find the most unpleasant and rudest workers. So if you have a sour disposition see if they're hiring.
The Nashville is awesome. The hash brown casserole is awesome too.
Thomas GreenMarch 16, 2015Only neighborhood coffee place in Memphis? But, kind of a dump. Coffee wasn't bad. Not eating here though
Sometime Mac Edwards is in the kitchen, or even more of a rare find, on waiting tables.- Angela HulseyJune 17, 2012And if you have time check in and see heather @ one community when your done!!!!
Get the Che Che sandwich, it's a bacon, egg, and cheese delight on a croissant!
The McKnight is the perfect combination of sweet and savory!
Great place to study, but they're constantly out of stuff...
