A Legacy of Quality and Innovation

Java Republic began with a simple mission back in 1999: to craft the finest coffee while staying true to ethical and sustainable practices. Over the years, we have remained dedicated to this mission, and our efforts have been recognised through numerous awards and by opening the world’s first purpose-built carbon-neutral roastery. The opening of our Molesworth Street Café in 2015 in the heart of Dublin further solidified our position as a leading coffee brand in Ireland.

In 2019, Java Republic joined forces with Cafento, a family-run Spanish coffee company, bringing a new level of stability and support to our operations. Cafento’s deep understanding of the coffee business has allowed us to strengthen our core offer while continuing to innovate and focus on the strategic growth of the business.

Navigating Change and Embracing Growth

The challenges posed by the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 were unprecedented, but Java Republic adapted with agility and resilience. We broadened our focus to tap into channels driving coffee growth, including the expansion of our online webstore, which meant scaling our offering to meet the evolving needs of our customers.

Post-pandemic, 2022 saw Java Republic continuing to lead with innovation. We invested in new product development, embraced machine automation, and responded to changing consumer tastes by premiumising our offer to include a larger variety of specialty coffees.

Noting the rise in popularity for Cold Brew, we invested in Marco Beverages POUR’D system for both café operations. And are currently running trials into Boxed coffee and researching canned RTD products.

Java Republic are constantly reviewing new machines and coffee brewing equipment to help customers consistently deliver quality beverages, while still providing professional and efficient service. This ranges from small tank fill machines, to larger fully automatic multi milk machines that have syrup-based options.
