Poetic Republic Coffee & Wine Co.

Loved this place from the moment I stepped in. I enjoy visiting local coffee shops that bring joy to my heart and this one is definitely one of the top 5. From the moment I stepped in the shop, the ladies at the counter were so vibrant and welcoming and suggested a tasteful minty mocha - a seasonal drink. The design of this shop brings a warmth to your heart that makes you feel safe and comfortable. If you haven’t stopped by yet, you are definitely missing out.

Top notch. The space was very well designed and decorated. The bathrooms were CLEAN! The service was prompt and kind. It was quiet enough to enjoy, but loud enough to have a private conversation without worrying about someone over hearing. The coffee was DELICIOUS.

This place is equal parts warm/inviting and incredible coffee. We tried several items including their Brown Sugar Latte (espresso, cinnamon & brown sugar) and Gingerbread Latte. The baristas were friendly and knowledgeable, and answered our most basic questions about lattes with grace and no judgement. The space itself is ideal to catch up with a friend or spend some time reading from the adorable library. There is a plenty of seating in their new addition, so it feels safe during a pandemic!

Pro tip: Get the Brown Sugar Latt

One of my favorite coffee shops in SA! Cozy and quiet, reminds me of shops in the PNW. They also have a great selection of wine. Big fan of their donuts and brown sugar cinnamon lattes 🤌

My new favorite coffee shop! Come check it out! The quaint little place with plenty of seating, super friendly staff, an awesome Baristas who know how to make a real cappuccino. Ditch Starbucks and come support this great little spot. Also for anybody who works from home or coffee shops😁 they have Wi-Fi and the music is just loud enough to enjoy but not so much that would interfere with your work or even making phone calls if you had to. One more thing it's also a wine bar☕🍷

Heads up on this gem in Southtown! I went for coffee, but got a cappuccino. It had cinnamon, whole milk, honey, and a shot of expresso. It comes with 2 shots, I chose to have one since it was evening. It's called the Down to Earth Cappuccino. So good.
Kudos to the young people working the shop! They're so hospitable. You know you feel when you enter a new establishment, as if everyone is watching your every move! 😄 Well, not there! You, literally, feel like your having a break from life. It's so welcoming, relaxing, mind clearing, and the ambiance is right on! The place looks small, however it's not. There's enough room for social distancing if that concerns you.

For the sketchy area this is in, this place is awesome. Baristas seem knowledgeable (could use some milk practice) and the roast was nice! Not amazing but definitely good. A super nutty medium roast. Paired with the really nice decor and atmosphere just works (:

The staff was so nice! I didn't catch her name but she was a brunette with cute glasses and she gave us a first time visitor discount 🥺 we visited from Missouri but I will definitely keep this place in mind for a second visit. We got their Mellow Latte, Brown Sugar, and Chaider! All left us feelin' satisfied and coffee junkies lol. Also as a writer, I appreciate the interior decorating. If I lived here, I'd be a regular with a laptop in hand. ☺️

This is the perfect spot to sit down and do some computer work while sipping a coffee. The atmosphere is quiet and chill- which I love. The coffee shot itself is super cute from the front door all the way to the bathroom. The coffee is delicious- a cold brew cost me about $4, a fair price to me. Overall, i’m very satisfied and would like to come back and try one of the specialty drinks!

A true Southside gem. This coffee shop is perfect to get some work done or to hangout with friends. Their brown sugar latte is a must try. I will definitely be back to try their wine selection.
