Serivice is horrible as always. Came here again after about a year because I was in the area and was craving bubble tea. Knowing about the horrible wait times, I placed a phone order 20-25 mins before getting there. I clearly tried to avoid the long line ups but when I got there, I still had to wait. I don't understand why it takes so long to make one bubble tea especially when I ordered 25 mins beforehand. I ended up waiting for another 20 mins before getting my order. The reason people place take out orders beforehand is to avoid waiting when you get there. Nope. Guess that's not the case with bubble republic. It wasn't even that busy. Their bubble tea is okay, definitely not worth the wait. They should hire better waitresses and more bartenders.
