Kape Republik is a Filipino American Coffee Shoppe and bakery located in the heart of Cerritos. Since opening its doors in April of 2016, it has become a household name known for their Ube Crinkles and the very best Baked Turon.
Recently Councilman Frank Yokoyama awarded Kape Republik with a Certificate of Recognition honoring their fifth anniversary. An anniversary celebration was held in honor of the occasion on Saturday, April 3, 2021.
A few of their house specialties include home of the first ever Baked Turon. Reminiscent of the popular Filipino fried Turon, the baked version is a puff pastry roll filled with plantains, jackfruit and a secret classic cream filling, “It makes the best ‘merienda’ or afternoon snack,” remarked Yokoyama.
