A few times a month, I stop by Republic Coffee for breakfast and a cup of black coffee. Their smoked tofu is quite incredible, especially on a bagel with eggs. My friend swears by their waffles. He gets one every single time we go, with a side of thick-sliced bacon.
This is a coffee shop with a past. First, the much-loved original location in Midtown closed four years ago. Then, the coffee shop re-opened at its current location at 2924 Walnut Grove last spring. And then finally, in June of this year, the shop changed owners. Fitz Dearmore is the new manager, and besides having his hands in several projects/investments throughout the city, he has some enthusiastic ideas for the future of Republic.
