First time trying bubble republic! I tried the caramel pudding milk tea I got 50 percent sweet and it was still really sweet, I would've enjoyed more if it was 0 percent sweet but next time I know! The tiny tapioca is a game changer! The service we friendly but it did take a while to get my drinks, they seemed to have a lot of orders. The place sells dessert and food as well! The ambiance is casual with a family style vibe. read more

Bubble Republic Tea House - Caramel Pudding milk tea with tiny tapioca - Taiwanese Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

one of my fave boba spots in mississauga. i LOVE the milo chiller in any weather and honestly, i think it's because it's hard to find a good milo (i don't make it good enough at home with the powder sold in the grocery stores lol) service is quick, even when they're busy! the food offered here is also SO yummy. love the feeling of being in taiwan with my boba and lu rou fan dish! read more

Got a Large MC Milk Tea a couple weeks ago It was relatively quiet and busy especially with large drink orders when I ordered. Service seemed pretty fast for smaller drink orders. The staff are nice and helpful. The drink was a bit pricey and tasted alright. The tapioca boba was soft and easy to consume. However, I suggest getting less sugar and not choosing the 100% sugar option because the sweetness is a bit too overwhelming and the tapioca also has sugar in it. Also, you have to use cash or your debit card since they do not expect credit cards. of read more

For years I've been wanting to try Bubble Republic's Taike fried chicken and I was finally able to try it today. Their Facebook page has a photo of the fried chicken menu with options of 2, 4, 6 and 10 piece combos. The combos come with a bubble tea of your choice and you pay extra for upsizing your drink and adding toppings. The person who took my order was very friendly and I felt very comfortable when I picked up my order as the staff were following COVID protocols with a pre-set path for customers to order/pick up. I ordered the 6 piece combo with a large original milk tea with tapioca, 30% sugar and less ice. The drink was great! Strong assam tea flavor with the classic creaminess that you'd find if you were to order a milk tea in Taiwan. The tapioca also is the best of any bubble tea chain I've been to; chewy, not too sweet and complements the tea. However this review is not for the drink, but for the fried chicken. Before I ordered, I had a feeling the chicken was going to be good because I've had Bubble Republic's fried chicken/pork chop on rice dishes and I enjoy their seasoning/crispiness. The fried chicken however used a different batter and seasoning as the rice dishes, and was EXTREMELY crunchy/juicy. The chicken had a thicker batter compared to other fried chicken chains (such as Jollibee or Popeyes) and they used a gentle seasoning that wasn't as salty as fried chicken chains. The chicken was made to order and so the chicken was piping hot! Surprisingly, the chicken didn't feel too oily as well. I was also given complementary pickled daikon and carrot slices which was great addition to the meal. Overall, I enjoyed every bite of the fried chicken. It was crispy, juicy, made to order and had a flavorful seasoning unique to Bubble Republic. Next time, I would ask if there's a spicy option but I will definitely order fried chicken here again! read more

Came here for Taiwanese takeout with a friend. We both got the Popcorn Chicken lunch. The price point of the meal was good. The popcorn chicken had good flavour, however the chicken wasn't crispy. The remainder of the meal included tomatoe and egg, bok choy and rice. The tomato and egg stir fry was okay, I though the vegetables tasted soggy. Overall a cheap place to grab lunch, if you wanted Taiwanese lunch there are many better options out there. read more

Note: this review was written pre-COVID! Our server was really friendly. She kept checking when we would be ready to order then joked that she thought it was females who were more indecisive when I ordered first and my male friends struggled choosing haha. After that the service went wonky though. 30 mins for my drink. 40 mins for the second. And another 10 mins came the last two. In total - we waited an hour and 20 minutes for 4 bbt drinks lmao. Ordered size small and they gave me a size large and we felt reluctant to tell them it was the wrong order because they were super busy and had one server running around, the poor girl. But they messed up 3 of the 4 orders sheesh. All 3 had the sugars levels mixed. I'd still give them 3 stars though because the server really did try her best and they let us stay for a few hours to play board games and never kicked us out. XD Tip: They only take debit and cash. read more

Bubble Republic Tea House - Oreo slush - don't remember the full name but it was really good! - Taiwanese Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

As a Taiwanese myself, I can say that this place is quite authentic and as close to actual Taiwanese food as it can. The wide selection of menus will satisfy all kinds of customers, whether you want a full meal, snacks, bubble tea, smoothies, or shaved ice. I always eat their combo meals when I'm craving Taiwanese food. The amount they give you is huge and satisfies me. The meal also comes with side dishes, an egg, and minced meat to go with the rice (minced pork rice is a famous TW dish). With around $10ish, you could have a fulfilling meal with a nice drink (or you can choose not to add a drink). I always order #1, 3 or 5 since they fry their meat perfectly to my taste - crispy, but not too salty or oily. If you've never tried TW food before, try #1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 13. The rest are equally as good but leaning more towards actual Taiwanese food. The prices are not bad, and it's a good restaurant for casual eating or full meals. Great place to socialize with authentic Taiwanese food. Perhaps other areas (such as shaved ice, bbt, service..etc) aren't 5/5, but their combo meals definitely are. I don't think it deserves only a 3/5, more like 4.5/5 but who knows. read more

Last Friday, four of my colleagues and I came to this plaza to have lunch at Chilli Chicken House. I immediately spotted Bubble Republic Tea House next door and flagged it. After we ate at this place, one of us asked if we could visit Bubble Republic. Since we are all fans of bubble tea, we took the plunge and went in. This place allows you to sit down and eat food. We were here to order bubble tea, so we did the takeout routine. A br'lunch menu is in your face when you walk in. The food looked good and dishes are pretty cheap in price when you order between noon and 3 pm on a weekday. They are mostly served with rice, which one exception where it was a noodle dish. Cool! I ordered a large iced strawberry black tea. I was so full from lunch that I decided not to get any tapioca. You can customize how much ice and sugar you want in your drink, which I appreciated. I tend to go with no sugar and a bit of ice. Two of us ordered bubble tea. We waited off to the side for a good seven minutes before our tea orders were ready. The woman at the counter was okay. She was competent, but didn't exude warmth. I guess stoic is the best adjective to describe her. My drink was okay. It wasn't horrible. It wasn't outstanding. Just okay. It was black tea with a dull strawberry flavour mixed in. The best strawberry black tea that is my kryptonite is at CoCo. Ever since that discovery, I have yet to find another bubble tea place that can beat this drink's awesome flavour and fresh taste. My drink came to $6.22. It's not cheap, but it's competitively priced compared to other bubble tea shops. I'd come here to have some food. Maybe the bubble tea tastes better with food! (92) read more

This place has gone DOWNHILL. Not only do they consistently have terrible service for years, like never answering the phone or staffing only 2-3 workers while they are always busy, but now they overprice they entire menu to the point of ridiculousness. For context, I grew up next to this location so I spent a lot of my early 20s coming here as a hang out spot. So I used to love coming here. Tonight I thought, I haven't been here in a while so maybe I should get a snack and some bubble tea along with takeout food from a restaurant within the same plaza. I spent $26 on a full dinner at Yin Ji, full on seafood dishes. I spent $36 on Bubble Republic. Here's my order. ALL BEFORE TAX. Small taro chiller with tapioca $8.50 Small oatmeal smash chiller NO tapioca $8 Potato Wedges with BARELY any wasabi flakes $8 Fried Popcorn chicken $10 ARE YOU KIDDING ME. A SMALL TARO CHILLER WITH TAX ALMOST CAME TO $10?!!?!!!?!! I'm sorry but that is a ripoff on every single order. let's be real, their food and drinks are solid. and they're the only bubble tea spot I know of that actually serves food, but cmon. if you're gonna charge that much for your product, why are people waiting FOREVER ALL THE TIME. I skimmed through a few reviews here and seems like i'm not the only one to complain about the wait times and prices. this used to be my fav spot to hang out at. but nope. NEVER ORDERING AGAIN HERE. read more

There were not many guests around 1 pm on a Monday afternoon. I went in requesting a table for 2 and I was pointed in the general direction of all the tables. Once I had chosen a table and sat down I noticed that there were menus laid out on the table but they were just for drinks. As someone who hasn't been before I had to look around before finding a food menu. It would've been nice if it had been pointed out to me. When the laminated menu was picked up it did not feel clean. It felt like there was residue on it. There was also bits of rice all over the table. My first impression of cleanliness was not so good. When ordering a lunch special drinks are available for $0.50 which is a pretty good deal. The dishes are a decent size and my friend and I were incapable of finishing all of it. Just an FYI that the red yeast wings take a very long time to be made. Something about marinating them when they're ordered. We had finished our dishes and were just chatting before the wings arrived. There wasn't much of a lunch rush so we could sit and chat for as long as we wanted. read more

My friends and I used to come here all the time for bubble tea and food. They've stopped providing the daily specials (probably due to pandemic?) and everything needs to be ordered to go. I got the oreo milk tea bubble tea, but they do have a variety of options available. The prices have gone up a bit (again, probably due to pandemic), but it's the same with everywhere I've gone to so I'm not surprised. One thing I've noticed is that the service is much faster than before. Whether dining in or ordering to go, it used to take forever to get our order. However, this time we got our order of 7 bubble tea within 20 minutes. Still, there are a lot of new bubble tea places in Mississauga now, so I wouldn't say there was something that I thought really stood out from the competition However, I only got the bubble tea but I didn't have the food, so hard to say. read more

BR used to be the place to go before all the new bbt places opened in Sauga. Ordered the strawberry shake which I would not recommend because it's 1000000% artificial flavouring which I'm not a fan of, but I mean if you are, defs go for it. I would recommend getting the deal of the day drink, which seems to offer better value. Easy to find parking in this plaza too so that's a plus. PS. They only take debit & cash, so leave your credit card at home. read more

Love coming to Bubble Republic for a quick lunch on a workday and also hanging out with friends. Bubble Republic is a great bubble tea shop at Mississauga with another location on the Square One side. They offer bubble tea for take out and also sit down dining. Their lunch and dinner special has a combo option where it allows you to add a drink to the meal at a discount. From my experience, I like their regular milk tea and pinna cotta milk team. For food, the popcorn chicken on rice, deep fried pork chop on rice (large portion), deep fried chicken pork chop on rice (large portion) are some of my favorites. There are also some snack options available such as rice noodles, sausages, and fish cakes. The restaurant isn't very large, but the tables can be move around to piece together for larger groups, though I'd recommend coming in a group of 4. read more

Pricier bubble tea place, but their chillers are awesome! I used to go here throughout my University days, but since then, their service has gone downhill. I think it has a lot to do with new staff/ constant turnover. We ordered take out and it took 25mins for the drinks while they only had 2 tables dining in who were already drinking/ eating. It definitely shouldn't have taken that long. read more

I ordered black tea with 1/2 tablespoon of honey. I think they literally added a 1/2 table of honey in my tea. Way too sweet. I never thought it was possible to ruin regular tea but bubble republic succeeded where all others have failed. My friend ordered tiramisu chiller and he really liked it. 2 stars because they failed at making regular tea. Also, because the tea was $5! read more

Bubble Republic Tea House - Taiwanese Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

My first experience with bubble tea was approximately 8 years ago. And it was at Bubble Republic (BR). I think. You know what, now I can't be sure, but it was somewhere in the GTA. I think. Bubble Tea quickly became a favorite drink of mine. Shortly thereafter, I was introduced to Thai iced tea. Then I learned about Thai food, Bánh mì, Hakka food, etc. Then I got fat. I don't know if BR's prices are what you can expect at an average bubble tea place in GTA, but I think it's a tad on the pricy side ($5.00+). But then, almost everything in GTA is a tad on a pricy side for a non-East coast American like me. However, BR has daily specials, which are slightly cheaper ($3.00+). I don't think I've ever had anything bad from here, but for the uninitiated some of the generic Canadianized drinks would be a safe bet, I'm sure (Oreo, Caramel, etc.) It ends up tasting milkshake-ish. Every drink I've had has been well flavored, well blended, and pretty satisfying. They're not stingy with the pearls; a good third of the drink will be just that. Also, the drinks are never, ever watery (which seems to be the main issue that I've had with other bubble tea places). Every time I've been to this location, it's been really quiet and not remotely busy. Service is decent, but it's nothing memorable. On an unrelated note, I've noticed that when you first walk in, there's a sign that says that you should wait to be seated or something. That's standard I guess, but I find it really odd that customers will come in for their to-go drinks, stand by the front door and not move; even if the entire place is completely empty and all of the empty chairs are beckoning. They're like really well-trained dogs or something, because they won't pass the small space by the front door while they wait for their drinks (which can sometimes be quite a long wait). All because of a piece of paper that says they should wait to be seated. So well behaved, you Canadians. It's cute; following the rules and whatnot. read more

One of the few places open on Labour Day. I was dying for for some bubble tea so a friend suggested this place. Lobby was packed with people for take out orders even though there were a number of tables available for dine in. My friend suggested to get the special which was a Black Diamond Black Milk Tea with grass jelly, red beans and tapioca pearls for $4.19. Wanted to order their Sweet milk custard brick toast but the cashier warned us that it would take 10-15 minutes to prepare so I went with the Fried Spiced Chicken instead. There was a bit of a wait time but not unusually long. The flavor and sweetness of the tea was fine (you can adjust the level of sweetness and amount of ice in your drink ) but it tasted very powdery like they used powdered coffee creamer. The tapioca pearls were soft with a nice chew, the way I like it. I was expecting the Fried Spiced Chicken to be spicy (hot) with a crispy coating but they weren't. However, they were tender, juicy flavorful bite size morsels of chicken. If I was in the area again I would come back to try more of their food. I would recommend getting their daily specials for drinks or their combos which includes a drink to get the most for your money. read more

Typical Order: Caramel Pudding (yum) Pros: - huge variety of milk- and fruit-based drinks (they also have some pretty weird ones too... oatmeal smash for example) - close to the Chinese restaurant/shop community - quick & friendly service - daily specials - this location is def. not as noisy as the newer location - cute decor/ambiance Cons: - BR locations are only in Mississauga! I've been coming here for years & I've seen the wait staff turn over with time. It's a really awesome place to hang out with friends, catch up, play cards, etc. It isn't a very quiet spot so I wouldn't recommend studying here (hehe). It's a small community so if your friends are bubble tea loving friends (and live in the nearby area), chances are pretty high that you might bump into them. Check it out. :) read more

I'm surprised I never wrote a review on this and I've been here so many times. This place is not bad for some taiwanese food and bubble tea. They have everyday drink specials which is good for carry out - these don't apply to food combos. I always get combo number one with taiwanese noodles because that always stays consistent vs the rice dish. The veggies usually changes and it's super random. I like the noodles, it's soft. I think it's similar to egg noodles but it's more flat. The fried chicken comes on the side but I end up throwing a few pieces in the soup so it adds more flavour to it. My main drink is the caramel pudding milk tea. Not much to say, I think it's one of the popular drinks. Another go to is the matchamisu which is ice blended tiramisu drink with some matcha powder on top and a ladyfinger. Only downside of this drink is that it doesn't apply with the food combos :( They accept only debit now and if you want to split bills, just walk up to the counter and tell them what you're paying for. A good place to chill and hang out for bbt! read more

This place is more than a mere bubble tea shop. This joint has always been, and continue to be, one of the watering holes for students and young professionals in Mississauga. For longest time, it was the only bubble tea option outside of malls and supermarkets. Despite other bubble tea joints that opened up, this place continue to thrive. The draw of this place is their seating space and affordable food options, making this a great place to spend a couple of hours with friends. Popcorn chicken and beef noodle soup really hits the spot, the tapioca is fresh and they have all the classic bubble tea flavor options. The shaved ice here is not too exciting; the toppings are fresh and delicious, but the shaved ice itself is not too special. The milk tea shaved ice is pretty much the same as their milk tea slush bubble tea; a slush flipped upside down and served in a bowl. Their service varies drastically depending on the server on shift and how experienced they are and how much English they speak. Overall, a great place to chill with some friends without hurting your wallet. read more

This rating is exclusively for the bubble tea only. Visiting Toronto and friend took me here for bubble tea and we ordered magic milk tea - regular milk tea with 1/2 coffee jelly and 1/2 pearl - oh my my....the best pearl I've ever had I must say. It's v soft and chewy. Milk tea also tasted v good. This place is not like cha time or any other bubble tea chain where if you order the magic milk tea you need to make it 1/2 sweet and so on and so forth. Regular taste just nice. Looks like a typical taiwanese bubble tea eating place type of food. We didn't eat here, so didn't have a chance to try it but check out the magic milk tea if you are ever in the area. read more

I really wanted to give BR a higher rating, but the prices are ridiculous, the wait times are ridiculous and not to mention the service is subpar at best. Honestly there are two drinks that make me come back time after time - Milo chiller ($6.50, large with no toppings) and Taro Coconut Chiller ($7.00, large with no toppings). The two drinks are slush drinks and great for a hot day. The Milo Chiller is like chocolate milk in slush form - and has chocolate powder on top (I like mixing that into my drink right when I get it so you get little balls of chocolate powder explode in your mouth through your sips). The Taro Coconut Chiller is sweet and is the perfect balance of taro and coconut. I'm normally not a fan of coconut as I find it too overpowering, but this is consistently good at BR. Recently, I tried their sit in meals. I ordered a fried spice chicken on rice with a fried egg and vegetables and made it into a combo. That cost me $11.25 before tax and tip. On top of that, the only drinks you get to order are the black milk tea series and anything else is half off the regular price. Certain items like the taro coconut chiller are still regular price and they're marked with two ** on their drink menu. The meal itself was SUPER oily and my stomach felt queasy for the rest of the night. The chicken was like popcorn chicken and easy to eat and had some flavour, but wasn't amazing. Very mediocre. read more

I havent been here for a year or so. Few nights ago I decided to dine in with husband because I was crabing for their popcorn chicken. We ordered popcorn chicken on rice and minced pork on rice combo. The minced pork on rice combo comes with one small drink. I ordered a small green milktea with no sugar and light ice. The drink tasted the same for many years it was pretty good. I was very happy with it. The minced pork on rice was delicious. It came with one egg and the portion was average. My hubby finished the entire bowl and I was sure he enjoyed it. My popcorn chicken on rice was disappointing. The popcorn chicken was lack of flavours. It was not salty enough. The rice came with three small side dishes. The portions were tiny for those sides. I forgot to take a picture of the sides they were underneath the popcorn chicken. The three sides of the day was stir fry onions, stir fry celeries, and stir fry frozen green peas/ carrots- yuck! I wished they could put more efforts in the side dishes. If they wanna save the cost they could have just includes two sides with much better food/ingredients. Overall experience was okay. Didnt expect much from BR anyways. read more

After hearing warnings of how sweet they make it I decided to go straight up with something that really has no sweetness which was a chiller (you know, like a slushie) but of the genmaicha variety. Typically I'm not big on matcha but add toasted rice and it's now a dessert. Once in a while I will buy genmaicha from Davids to switch things up from my regular green tea that is my usual (Dragonwell). Honestly I'm not used to green tea being served in steins. Usually when I'm drinking out of steins it's instead beer and since I rarely have bubble tea or frequent bubble tea places it felt rather strange to not have that plastic cup with the top sealed where I had to insert a half inch diameter straw wide enough to vacuum up tapioca balls. Not this time... this drink for lack of a better word was deceivingly thick considering it's a tea but hey it's also toasted rice too. I really liked this drink but it's cold and gritty and it's like I'm eating a cereal that was ran through a blender... a completely strange texture! It was sort of like sucking back liquid sand paper but it was surprisingly addictive. The price difference between a large and small is only a buck (6 or 5) so naturally being the pro bulk purchaser I am I went with the large green grit and cool slushie looking thing that will scratch your throat on the way down but in a good way. Since we just ate next door I wasn't really hungry but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted when looking at their menu of food just because of the pictures. Photos of food are nice to look at kind of how it's not exactly burning your eyes to look at a Victoria's Secret catalog. I thought it was sort of funny that some of the photos like of the fries had a photo of just ONE fry. I also saw that they had chicken wings and even what looks like one of those pounded flat chicken breasts like what they have at Hot Star Large Fried Chicken except this thing was only 7 bucks as opposed to 10ish. If I was to eat here I'd probably go for that popcorn looking chicken with rice and that egg on top. Eggs on top are for the win. It's not often I come to central Mississauga considering how close I live so bubble tea is sort of a treat for me. Still, I'm not fancy on it or anything but it's interesting enough. read more

I'll be honest - this is my 2nd go to place. When Chatime is crazy busy and/or they run out of tapioca (which happens quite often) I go to BR. The reason BR isn't my first choice is because... 1. their bubble tea is WAY too sweet! Even when I request for 50% sugar or honey it is still too sweet. and 2. every time I eat something here, I always end up with a stomach ache. Always! So now I will only come here if I'm absolutely craving a bubble tea. read more

Was my go to bubble tea place in mississauga but I feel like the quality has gone down. The food and drinks here is really disappointing when I get take out.

Bubble Republic Tea House - Assam black milk tea chiller & hot assam black milk tea with tapioca - Taiwanese Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

I've been a regular here since they first opened. They are the bubble tea pioneers of the west GTA. My tastes for boba have developed with their menu. My go-to these days are any of their black milk teas; they are creamy and refreshing. I prefer their drinks half-sweet so I can get the flavor of the tea. Get the panna cotta (milk pudding) or the honey pudding if you're looking to get out of the tapioca stream. If you like red bean, the black diamond is a filling drink! Their food has changed over the years. I still don't prefer the noodles. Their pork chops and chicken dishes still reign; my hit list includes the Taiwanese red sauce pork chop, pork belly (for a serious cheat day) and the chicken filet on some days (sometimes it isn't that crispy). Music and blenders are often too loud. Unless you have a loud group, you might not have a chance to really mingle, even two feet away from each other. Get a seat by the door if you can. You know you're from Mississauga when BR is no longer Baskin Robbins or Banana Republic. Cheers. read more

It's a great hang out place but with medicore food/bubble tea. It's dimly lit with scratched up walls with a poor paint job. They only accept cash. No debit or credit.

If any other bbt place opens up in miss it will easily top BR. Average at best. read more

Pretty good place, but not exceptional either. At least I can report that the service was fine with me, which apparently has not been the case for other reviewers. They get credit for having literally dozens of options for drinks. That said, I can only review based on the one I had. I was intrigued at seeing a drink with oatmeal in it, especially since I'm a texture guy. The description was poor though, but it was explained that it was essentially a chocolate milkshake with blended oatmeal. I did end up enjoying the oatmeal aspect of the shake, but I was surprised that it had a large scoop of vanilla ice cream on top that wasn't blended it. It was literally half the cup and the ice cream itself was fairly poor quality which really brought it down. A bit of a mixed experience. I'd would try it again, but I'm not rushing back either. read more

This was my second time visiting a Bubble Republic Tea House and my last time visiting this specific location. Let me start off by saying that my Oreo cookie milkshake type drink was absolutely amazing, no complaints at all with the actual product. HOWEVER, my complaint comes with the 25 minute wait for the 2 drinks. I more then understand a place being busy (not super busy either), but 25 minutes for a beverage is just unacceptable. This won't be my last beverage from this chain, but it will definitely be my only drink from this location. read more

Always heard of this place but never thought I'd get to try it since there aren't currently any in Toronto. Found myself in Sauga over the weekend and couldn't resist giving it a try after having dinner. I ordered the matcha slushie with grass jelly, red bean, and tapioca, topped with a chocolate wafer stick and a maraschino cherry. It was very yummy! The texture of the tapioca was just right, the drink wasn't too sweet, and it was overall very refreshing. Service was also great. Even though we just ordered drinks, a waitress kept checking up on us to see how we were doing. Would definitely come back the next time I'm in the city. read more

It's actually rare to find a bubble tea shop that serves dinner dishes. After my not so good experience at the hurontario location I decided to come here with my sister. Normally, I don't come here to eat. Usually me and my friends would get food first and then come here for drinks since I don't really know what the food is like. I got the fried chicken on rice with a drink and it came to around $15 which is pretty good value. The fried chicken is Taiwanese style so it is seasoned differently and to my taste buds it's a bit sweet and sour. It's pretty good for the price but not outstanding in terms of food. It's one of those dishes that fill you up when you're hungry. Also my sister, her friend and I ordered the same thing as well and for some reason the drinks came out in 8-10 minute intervals. Like I was just confused as to why they didn't make all the drinks at once when we ordered them at the same time. Instead they'd make one chiller and then make someone else's drink and then another. Overall I don't think I'd come here for food but drinks are pretty good. read more

I've always ordered bubble tea from here but ventured out to try something new last week. That'll be the first and last time I do that. I ordered chicken wings and they were extremely bloody on the inside. Worst is, I let the servers know and they offered to refry the current wings. I asked for new ones to avoid the terrible offer they gave me (refried, potentially oily and disgusting wings) and they said no. Thankfully they didn't charge me for that mess, but who the heck offers to refry old, bloody chicken wings? No thanks. read more

Bubble Republic Tea House - Bloody wings that BR refused to replace. They offered to refry these ones. No thanks! Poor customer service. These are disgusting. - Taiwanese Near Me - Mississauga, Ontario

A popular bubble tea shop for late-night snackers. They're usually busy with takeout orders but I haven't had trouble finding a table for dine-in every time I visit. The menu consists of typical Taiwanese rice and noodle dishes along with shareable appetizers to enjoy with a group! I've been here several times and have tried most of their food items. Favourites include popcorn chicken, pork cutlet, and yaro balls. Entree items are decently-priced. The taste and quality of the food is above average. I would say the bubble tea here is average but their daily specials make it worth giving it a try! read more

I dont understand why people hate this place so much. I've been going to bubble republic since i was 11, that was 8 years ago I even applied to work here before but I was too young and didnt have enough time. Seriously this place is probably the best place to go for bubble tea in mississauga, its even better then Cha-Time and Bubble Tease. Their bubble tea hasnt changed its amazing taste, they feature TWO SIZES of tapioca, which you wont get any other place. Their Taiwanese chicken is probably the best ive ever had, always crispy and seasoned perfectly. The only 2 things i dont like, is that they dont offer delivery and more locations, and even so i would walk after a long day at work to order their delicious bubble tea. Their prices are pretty expensive for bubble tea, but good quality bubble tea is so worth it. I will continue to support them. This little bubble tea shop is a gem to mississauga and remains unbeaten all these years and ive tried a lot of bubble tea in my years.

I only ever get takeout here and although they can be slow at times, I think they do their best to move the line along. I love Bubble Republic for their unique drinks. They also carry the more traditional black/green teas and chiller flavours but my absolute favourite is the smash oatmeal chiller with mixed tapioca. It's a filling drink and a must get when we decide on bubble tea in Mississauga. I would recommend getting less ice if opting for a juice tea as they tend to be watered down in my experience. read more

Was really looking forward to finally trying their Black Diamond Milk Tea after my brother raved about it. Unfortunately, I went today & was very disappointed in the overall experience. The girl at the takeout/cash desk (named Shirley) was inefficient and simply could not manage what was required of her in this position. She spoke English to the customers but chinese to her fellow staff. When we ask her things, she's like a deer in headlights as if she doesn't understand either language. Took nearly 15min to have her take my order and at least another 20min to have a different waiter track down my bubble tea. Drinks were piling up at the takeout counter with nobody to pass them out to the customers. It was ridiculous! Besides the poor customer service and horrible take out system, each bubble tea costs roughly $7.. let's just say, if you're going to charge that much it better be worth it. When I finally got my bubble tea, the natural thing to do is gently flip the cup so the tapioca/grass jelly can be properly mixed.. that's when it splattered all over me because the seal wasn't even properly done. Ok, fine.. maybe I shouldn't have moved the cup at all. But I could not believe how much tapioca I got in my drink.. I could count the number with my hands. I've never had bubble tea with this few tapioca pearls. I live in the area but I don't believe I would come back, at least not for take out bubble tea on a Sunday. I genuinely hope they improve and hire some more experienced staff. read more
