I must admit I was really psyched to have this place open up. I was happy to have some alternative to sitting in the grocery store sipping coffee. When it first opened I spoke with the owner who seemed very nice, but this last experience was quite poor and I dont know if I will bother coming back. I wanted to conduct a short meeting of a club in which I was a member and planned it for Coffee Republic. I walked by several times to figure out what their hours were, but they are not posted anywhere. I decided to chance it. I arrived at 7 as did most of my other board members. By 7:30 the barista told us thats when the close. Well, we rushed to conclude out meeting and as we were finishing up, they actually shut off the lights on us. I thought that was pretty rude, especially if you are trying to build a reputation. I dont know if I will return. Get it together. If your hours had been posted I might have done it somewhere else but shutting the lights off on customer you know you just served 15 minutes ago is really not the customer service you should be presenting.

Exceptional coffee (I order a quad espresso latte). The croissants are tasty, not dry and not flattened like grocery store croissants. Havent tried anything else yet. The tea selection is uninspiring, my husband wishes there was more variety. The staff is wonderful!!! Fun, sweet, professional, never on their phones or ignoring customers. The store itself is beautifully and expertly designed with seating being a priority. It holds about 40 people, the size of a large Starbucks, but is much more interesting to look at and explore. There are oversized velour chairs, modern chairs, leather couch, two-seater tables galore and a barstool area. Come for the coffee, stay for the atmosphere. Theyre playing Nas right now- previous was Alisha Keys. Great mix for zoning out and working or for chatting with friends. This place is a big win for King Farm which has largely sucked for the past four years.

Very good place for a tea latte. The barista made the coffee with soy milk and Jasmine tea with a dash of honey. It was excellent! Reminded me of a tea drink from Temple Coffee in Sacramento,CA. She did great. Their spinach quiche was very tasty. Almost tasted like a bit of parsley was in it which added a nice flavor to it. The atmosphere is great and the place is spacious with lots of light. My new favorite. I highly recommend. The only reason Im not giving it 5 stars is due the menu being very basic. My Tea latte was created off the menu. I like my coffee houses to have unique combos but dont let that stop you. Its just a personal preference. The baristas said they can make what you like. Enjoy this place!

The aesthetic is by far the best part of this place. I would recommend this place for meetings since its big with lots of seating. The weird thing though is that its a coffee shop and they blast top 40 hits...and their coffee is just pretty good. It isnt "cozy" or "indie" by any means. Also the staff is entirely made up of introverted women and its so hard to read them - dont ever know if they hate people or are just bored.

This small coffeeshop makes the best original slow drip coffee. The barista provided us with free beverages and small pastry with out purchase of the their roasted coffee. This was an unexpected offer from the shop owner. The Sherpa coffee was a smooth blend with coconut oil. Wow I did not expect it to taste that smooth. I will definitely come back here whenever I am back in San Francisco

Need more food options and mineral water for those with sensitive stomachs. Lexie and Idri are great: efficient and always working. They never stop cleaning or picking up after customers. For those that think this is just another reincarnation of Mayorga, its not. Try it out. Suggestions for improvement: offer empanadas (I prefer Juilos) and Turkish coffee.

This is a awesome little coffee shop in King Farm, Rockville. a truly welcome addition to the area. The coffee here is really good. and the Cappuccinos are really spectacular. European style, not the usual drivel that one gets at Starbucks. The staff is really nice and friendly. and if you get Naeema making your Cappuccinos, you score double.

Great coffee, ample seating, and quaint atmosphere. Ive met friends and family here for tea or coffee plenty of times. Whether your working, catching up with friends, or warming up on a cold day, I recommend stopping in. The only reason I gave them four stars is that there are items on the menu that they dont have yet.

This is a lovely and welcome addition to the Rockville coffee scene! The coffee is amazing, the staff is warm and welcoming, and its a charming spot in King Farm to socialize, work, or relax. Check it out and support a locally owned business. Youll be looking forward to the next time you can come back.

Friendly staff, chic interior, and excellent lattes. After Mayorga shut down its operations in King Farm, there was a void of good coffee and a community hangout spot. That void has now been filled. Thank you to the owners of Coffee Republic.

Tasty, welcoming, hip cafe in King Farm. Found it only recently and regret having missed out on the first few months after opening. But now that I know its here, I just keep coming back for more!

Its a nice place, definitely something king farm needed. Sadly they dont have coconut milk and its pretty expensive, thats the only reason Im denying them the 5th star.

Beautiful decor, tasty treats, friendly staff,however, bad taste of music, no proper uniform for the staff. Again the biggest turn off was the music.

Probably the only indie coffee shop in the area. Amazing coffee and treats. Great ambiance for a chat or to study. Locally owned as well.

Really terrible watery bland coffee. This place is more interested in an instagramable moment. I guess if you are stuck in the suburbs.

My second morning visit. One weekday and one Saturday. Coffee is great but understaffed both times. One staff person is not enough.
