Bubble Republic - San Gabriel

Decent boba shop with a variety of drinks and food options. I got the aloe vera grass jelly honey juice 50% sweet and the black milk tea with boba 0% sweet. The drinks are very much on the sweeter side even with the sweetness adjustment. They have several tables available inside to study or hang out at but it was all filled when I was there. Their black milk tea was pretty good, but nothing special. Overall a solid spot but there's better options nearby in my opinion.

The drink was good. Not too sweet. The ambiance is pretty chill. They have wifi and plenty of tables to sit at. The workers seem pretty nice. So far I didn't have a bad experience at this place. The I have let to try the snacks next time.

Bubble Republic has become one of my favorite boba places in SGV for a few reasons:1. Drinks. I'd rate their drinks 4/5 stars; they're good and the boba tastes great in terms of chewiness, sweetness, and consistency. But nothing stands out otherwise. Still, I never had a bad drink from here, both fruit teas and milk teas. I'm looking forward to trying some of their more adventurous options next time.2. Food choices! They have tons of great dishes that are awesome comfort foods. The minced meat rice combo comes in a small portion that ensures you don't feel bloated, but still get a good balanced meal. The tomato beef stew hits the spot if you're hankering for a hot dish on a cold or rainy day; the taste reminded me of my childhood! Other dishes like the fish fillet rice bowl comes in a bento that's sure to leave leftovers for the next day. Many of these dishes also have a combo option for a cheaper tea drink as well, which compliments their food perfectly. Definitely must-try!3. Ambience. The place is often filled with people working or hanging out and enjoying themselves. It has such a cozy cafe-like atmosphere that, combined wit the food and drinks I mentioned earlier, really encourages you to stay and visit often.Be warned, the lot is a bit small for parking sometimes but there's always street parking that's not too hard or difficult to find. If you're ever in the area, stop by and give Bubble Republic a try!

Ordered the minced meat rice combo with chrysanthemum tea. Both were just ok, however, the Strawberry Cheese Smoothie was really good! Would come back just to get that drink. There's a saltiness to it that meshes well with the sweetness of the drink, and really cool to have some pieces of cheesecake graham cracker crumb on the bottom. Good confluence of flavors!Also got Thai tea with boba for a family member and he said it was good also. Service was great! And the place is clean.

Great service, good food , and great peopleMy fiancée and I recently moved around the area and wanted to try some places to hang out and eat. Bubble republic was near us and the place looked inviting.Indoors, there were a lot of tables and chairs to work in or have a casual chat. Food wise, I loved the salted egg popcorn chicken. It's super tasty and creamy ,definitely a great snack to munch on while you are working.
