Tell us a little bit about your cafe—what is the ethos of your business? What was the inspiration for opening Nutrition Republic?
Nutrition Republic was born from a desire to only consume real, wholesome and nourishing food based on my husband’s and my personal health experiences and journey to wellness.
Our vision was to create spaces where people become healthier, happier and more conscious so they can live life to its fullest. We offer products, services and a customer experience that aligns with our vision for health and happiness. This essence flows throughout everything we do, in every way, for everyone; it is our responsibility, our passion and our gift to the world.
We believe in a better world: a healthy and happy world. Our menu is simple and nourishing, predominantly plant based, with all food items being gluten, dairy and refined-sugar free. This is the way it will always be. We only use real, natural, minimally processed ingredients and source local, organic and chemical-free ingredients where possible.
100% complete transparency is one of our highest values. Our menu has been thoughtfully created to provide flavoursome nutrition, inspiring people to consume consciously and nutritionally.
We can see that you are into health and wellness. Do you have any tips for people who want to improve their quality of life?

Move often and get outside when you can!

Drink lots of water.
