Coffee Republic

A bit pricey for coffee but mine was pretty good. I got the Nutty Truffle with oat milk and asked for it half sweetened since it seemed like there was a lot of syrups added in. It came out perfect and I was very happy with it! I just don't really agree with the $1.35 alternative milk charge...No issues with service, the girls working there were great. It was two floors so could be a good study or work spot.

Cute space with decent coffee and polite staff. The seating area is a little tight and it's difficult to have a conversation here that wouldn't be overheard by everyone present, upstairs and downstairs. I believe they boast this as a co-working space and I could only see those who work in complete silence and with headphones on taking advantage of this. The coffee is overpriced and underwhelming, in my opinion. $1.35 is way too much of an upcharge for alternative milk. This made my 16 oz coffee almost $9. Sometimes, a high quality beverage at a speciality coffee shop might be worth this price, but this wasn't. I ordered the Sugar Mama, with white chocolate and Irish cream and it tasted like overly sweetened coffee--something I might get from a fast food place. The Irish cream flavor was very subtle. Unfortunately, I can't say that I am interested in returning either for the ambience or the coffee.

Friendly staff that has a great repetoire with one another. There is upstairs seating, bar seating, its small but worth it if you want a one on one. Or just to catch up on some work without the bigger coffee shop commotion. I didnt try any food i was in a rush. Buuuuut im definitely coming back. Oh yeah parking sucks. But that has nothing to do with the establishment themselves. I blame whoever designed the plaza itself.

Attentive & friendly staff for sure - the downside is they run out of the good stuff (foodwise) so you have to hit it at just the right time or you'll be craving something delicious to be sadly let down. The coffee is delightful for srue and the seating inside is limited but perfectly acceptable for a quick meeting if you have one!

Very slow but not because they were overly busy, the 3 girls obviously working on a Saturday morning had more interest in talking to each other than working. Took about 30 minutes to get 2 coffees with just 2 people in front of me. Other patrons are the store also asking where is my drink, etc.

I wish I would have gotten some pics, but I was in a hurry and famished.I ordered the Strawberry Fields iced chai drink and it was so incredibly refreshing and delicious. The spice from the chai didn't overwhelm the drink.I also got the chili burrito and it was absolute perfection. The tortilla was nice and soft and the inside was flavorful without being too many overwhelming ingredients. I would eat this every day.

Love the loft area. It's so cozy and nice that helps me get through the day. Nice spot to meet up with friends over great tasting coffee and espresso.

Only two people working, one on register one on espresso machine. Donation bags, boxes and clutter line the path to ordering, dust on counters, disorganized look to the place. Fruit flies and gnats flying around their open air pastries. I ordered a plain croissant two turkey sausage breakfast sandwiches and a hot vanilla latte. $30!Latte came out promptly but without vanilla. I waited over 10 minutes for the breakfast sandwiches, the woman who was tendering the cash register without washing her hands then came over to the food station and started packaging up items. Food was all over the counter, it had been sitting, there was no way to tell what had been heated up versus what had just sat out cold and frozen from the packaging it came in. When we both bit into our breakfast sandwiches we noticed they were cold, still frozen and tasted like gas station vending machine food from a highway rest stop. Although Charlotte has a deficit of coffee shops Id rather give Starbucks my money than ever visit coffee republic again. Funny how from their Maps or IG it seems trendy + good location in Ballantyne but my Lord what horrible execution. You need some serious operational assistance.

The one in huntersville is better and that one is 4/5 stars. everything is over priced and mediocre at best, got an almost $8 burrito and it was cold and small. come here if you got money to blow and have time to kill because i had to wait for my burrito because they forgot it

Such a cute coffee shop with nice employees. Got a peppermint mocha cold brew but their fall selection looked great, can't wait to see the winter seasonal drinks! Definitely recommend
