Coffee Republic is expanding to Bethesda, with a new location planned for the ground floor of the Bethesda Place apartment building, connected to the upcoming Lidl grocery store. The news was first reported by Robert Dyer.
The coffee shop opened its first Montgomery County location in King Farm in the fall of 2016 and has steadily grown its footprint since then. Today, Coffee Republic operates 11 locations across the DMV and North Carolina, with Bethesda set to become its latest addition. An opening timeline for the Bethesda location has not yet been announced.
According to Coffee Republic, the brand was built around a passion for exceptional coffee and creating vibrant community gathering spaces. The café offers a wide range of classic and specialty coffee drinks, along with signature quirky beverages, using organic coffee sourced through its roasting partner, Disco Roasters.
Each Coffee Republic location is designed to reflect the surrounding community, blending eclectic, urban energy with the warmth of a neighborhood café. The company says its mission is to create a welcoming space where coffee meets community, with an atmosphere meant to be just as enjoyable as the drinks themselves.
