Republic Cafe

Republic Café does not exist anymore, if it ever did. I was confused but intrigued by the idea that two restaurants would share the same space and how that would work; apparently it didn’t.

They are really nice here they just opened. So I understand they are still working a few things out. The service was great! Extremely nice. I received my food quickly and it was delicious. I plan on coming back to this café to try the different sandwiches they offer. I on the other hand ordered eggs scrambled with cheese, bacon, toast, and potatoes.

Small breakfast and lunch spot open in the same space as Isabela’s, nestled into the neighborhood surrounding Lake Jacqueline. You can order from both menus, but Republic seems to be strictly takeout and front-​porch seating.
Menu features a variety of fresh pastries, traditional breakfast offerings, and various salads, sandwiches, and sliders. I particularly enjoyed the grilled ahi tuna salad, with olives, anchovies, egg, and roasted tomatoes. For a $ 9 salad, the variety of toppings is plentiful but a little on the salty side, could use more greens to balance out.
Service is walk-​up, pay before you seat yourself. Food was slow to come out on both of my visits, but the al fresco seating is peaceful. Hours are limited, closing at 2PM– would love to see them extend to three, as I work nearby but can’t make it by on weekdays for lunch before they close.
