Met a friend here for a weekday afternoon coffee and chat. Simple and decent establishment. The iced coffee latte is fab

This is probably the best place In Walsall.Used to come here and study all day , have breakfast and lunch here untill one day a lady save me.Nothing wrong with the foodie or service my only problem was the gloves.I watched clean the tops, touch the till and then with the same gloves went to get my tostie.Gout out of the wrapping with the same gloves.That put me off and l stopped coming here.Girvthe first time back , l came here last week and the was a lovely lady , haven’t seen her before but she was amazing.I ordered a breakfast roll, no gloves on untill she was about to touch my roll.l came back today and the same lady who served me with gloves did the same thing today, l had to ask her to change her gloves.It’s not nice as good is going into someone , vomiting and diarrhoea are cause by dirty objects toutched by our hands.I am asking kindly that only this is a problem and it is dealt with.I am not being difficult but l am a nurse in the Emergency department and it really annoys me to see such thing.The service is amazing, the staff are superb but please glove off when you torching the till B on when you u have food and when cleaning surfaces , change glove when preparing food.I do love this place and like l said the best place in Walsall.

The cafe is actually very nice, with comfortable seating and welcoming staff. It’s one of the quieter cafes in town, perfect if you want to avoid the hustle and bustle. However, it’s really let down by the lack of vegan options. Staff tried their best but there was only a tea cake that was apparently vegan and so I agreed to have that and they gave me a bunch of butters to go on it which kind of defeated the point. If someone had a milk allergy that could have been dangerous.

Prior to the pandemic, I enjoyed visiting this place on a weekly basis for many years. 5 stars would have been my rating, week in week out. Today was my first visit since early 2020. I decided to have my usual order, which included one of their normal range - an Americano. It was clear what I wanted, and I put it in the same way as I had done for many years without ever having a problem. I was then challenged about the coffee I ordered and this meant that, for the second time, I made it clear what I wanted i.e. just the usual coffee without alteration. That should have been the end of it of course, but no. The staff member snapped back in an argumentative manner. This was odd and out of proportion. She had made it an issue. I was baffled, and calmly raised the matter when she brought the items over later. I couldn't see why she pressed it after I had made my order clear. When I clarified exactly what coffee I wanted, that should have been that. Annoyingly, she carried on the argument with me, and didn't seem to understand that she had made it an issue. She stormed off in a mood and seemed to be worked up out of all proportion. She appeared to be then 'replaced' by another member of staff - why? For the rest of my time there she wasn't seen. Also, oddly, she purported to know my coffee-drinking history better than me. Really? I normally drink at rival coffee houses, which she couldn't possibly know. Also, it seems odd that I had to explain my choice of coffee. Now, I had intended to relax there as I was on a business trip. I thought it would be a good choice, based on past experience. However, it was such a strange, surreal experience that I am unlikely to visit there again. From 5 stars to no star on this occasion. A shame.

Visited today, wow we've missed this place! Haven't been since before march 2020 due to lockdown! Coffee Republic is now up and running again serving lovely Italian coffee and delicious snacks Spotlessly clean, every table cleaned after your visit by lovely friendly staff. Well worth a visit, inside the Co Op in Bridge St. Don't be put off by the roadworks outside. Access is through the store. Can't wait to return again. Anthony Hall
Nice and quiet coffee shop with friendly staff who offer fantastic customer service!

We usually go there once a week to meet up with family we like it because you don't get bothered by staff trying to rush you out once you have finished your drink.
