COFFEE REPUBLIC was formed in 1995 by Bobby and Sahar Hashemi, a brother and sister team.

“Unable to find in London the delicious quality and wide choice of the espresso-based coffee drinks we had experienced in New York coffee bars, we decided to open our first coffee bar in London’s fashionable South Molton street."

Since then, Coffee Republic has grown to be one of the best known and largest independent espresso bar brands in the UK, with bars all

across the UK from Manchester to Brighton and Birmingham to Bluewater. You can now enjoy the unique Coffee Republic experience before boarding a flight at Heathrow Airport, during a shopping trip in Worcester, over a business meeting in the city of London, or kicking back with the Sunday papers in Richmond.

Coffee Republic is now also a leading brand in the UK coffee market, receiving wide consumer recognition and acclaim in national publications and independent market surveys.

“Coffee Republic was the first to bring decaf, semi skimmed, grande (or what ever else your diet demands) to London”
