Nestled in Glen Iris, Beans Republique is a hidden gem that every Melburnian must give a try at. We came as a group of 7, and all found the experience to be very enjoyable. The service was impeccable as our servers were friendly and made sure we were all settled in. The food was incredible as well. Not only did it taste amazing, it was also beautifully plated - making it a treat for both the eyes and the mouth. My personal favourite was the 'Eiffel Tower' which offered a great balanced between savoury and sweet. The coffee and drinks served were also really well done, and reasonably priced. Would highly recommend, and definitely will be coming back again soon.

We found this place by chance for brunch. The eggs Royale were delicious and avocado toast with bacon unfortunately it was a bit fatty. Fresh squeezed oj and great coffee and tea in a teapot ! Very reasonable prices will go again.

Had a fantastic brunch at Beans Republique! The smashed avocado was fresh and flavorful, but what really stood out was service - Tony is super friendly and attentive.

The Hash Brown Stack here is absolutely amazing! It is perfectly cooked very juicy, with a nice sear on the outside. Paired with the golden, crispy hash browns, every bite is packed with flavor and texture. The presentation is also on point, making it super Instagram-worthy, but the taste definitely lives up to the look. Perfect for brunch or a main meal—definitely coming back for this again. Highly recommend!

First time here with new management and the food was lovely but most of all the new manager was so accommodating and delivered a very kind and professional experience. Coffee was beautiful I'll definitely be back. Can't wait to see what the new management can bring to this cafe. Highly recommended. Do not hesitate to go in grab a coffee and say hi to the wonderful staff.

The Staff here are amazing, kind, respectful, and very fast. They make one hell of a hot chocolate, I would give that a 5/5 by itself. Beautiful atmosphere and great food. It's one of my favourite spots

I just love going to Beans Republique. The staff are really friendly. Where else can you go to get a large bowl of Bean and Vegetable Soup with locally sourced peppercorn seeds and with real sour dough bread and butter for less than $20 The place is packed ! (I took the picture at 11:30 before everyone turned up at 12noon)
