Coffee Republic Coffee

Coffee Republic is a well-known British coffee house chain and brand that emerged during the late 1990s coffee boom in London. Founded by brother and sister duo Sahar and Bobby Hashemi, the brand was inspired by the vibrant New York City coffee culture, aiming to bring high-quality Italian-style espresso and a relaxed atmosphere to the UK high street.

Over the decades, the company has transitioned through various ownership structures, evolving from a public company to a private enterprise. Today, while it maintains its identity as a premium coffee provider, the brand operates as part of a larger international portfolio. The manufacturing of its signature coffee blends is primarily centered in the United Kingdom, where beans are roasted and packaged for both their retail outlets and commercial distribution.

Coffee Republic currently operates under the ownership of Coffee Republic Properties Limited. The brand remains a staple of the UK beverage landscape, recognized for its pioneering role in establishing the modern coffee house experience across the British Isles and beyond through international franchising.
