Tapioca Express

Thank you to the two young guys working today, this was my very first time at this location and they were very helpful and friendly! The drinks are very good and the service was fast. The store was very clean too, I will be visiting this location a lot more and I highly recommend.

Idk about this place after seeing seriously rotting strawberries. Wonder what it’s like in the back kitchen. Ew.
Wheres a health inspector when you need one?

I come here almost every week. Service is always friendly and they are willing to work with you on what you want. I like how you can customize your drink (I always get honey mango green tea) and how you can return/​exchange the drink if something is wrong with it or you don’t like it. Overall, great service and good drinks for the price.

I came here while waiting for a table at Asian Pearl. The place is modern, clean, and super inviting. The employees looked and acted very professionally. And I love the outdoor seating –perfect for enjoying the beautiful weather.
I didn’t have the food but what I saw looked great. I had a green apple icy with green apple jelly and it was very good. My friend got a Thai tea and she and I both agreed that we’d had better. She didn’t finish it.
There is very limited seating so I don’t suggest taking a lot of people.

Great boba milk tea but not ideal for studying. No outlets to plug in your laptops.

Big variety of drinks for everyone! Get it slushed or iced. They also have food. The atmosphere is nice and new and open. Kinda like a club in here apart from the twerking

This place sucks! I ordered a «fresh taro» milk tea and I ended up getting the purple powder drink, which was also way too sweet. When you say it’s fresh taro then I expect fresh taro. Totally false advertising. I added boba and drink costed four dollars! It’s expensive for something that tastes so horrible! I will never come back here again.

Solid and consistent milk tea drinks (def go half sweetness unless you want a huge sugary hit) and decent shaved ice. My taro flavored one had the right consistency, but lacked much of any actual taro flavor. Not much in terms of presentation either. That aside, a reliable place to kick back with friends over boba.

Food is bad ass! Yogurt is the typical Vietnamese kind… for V people, you know what I’m talking about… the kind that people make at home… the kind you make a whole batch from just one yogurt container!
My wife still craves it whenever we’re in the area.

I’m not a big fan of Tapioca Express. It’s a nice place to hangout with your friends, but the drinks aren’t that great and the snacks are okay. I mean there’s a big selection of food and drinks, but I had better. The few times I been here the girls at counter seem to have messed up my order — I ordered popcorn chicken/​crispy chicken or whatever they call it and they gave me crispy chicken WINGS? I really wanted my crispy chicken so I told the girl and I guess she made a mistake, and she fixed my order, gave me my crispy chicken and let me keep the wings too :)

Delicious bubble milk tea with a wide selection of jellies and toppings! It is also very clean and modern inside. The chairs are very comfortable.
The bubble tea is very sweet though, so you can ask for half as sweet.

Best tapioca place!!! They have great smoothies and it is always fresh!!! They have a great selection of boba drinks, icy drinks, milk teas, shaved ice, coffee, and juices!!!
Another popular drink is the yogurt frost which is a great yogurt drink which comes in 4 flavors: original, strawberry, mango, and kiwi.
They also have great snacks such as popcorn chicken, to fried fish balls, to French fries, to chow mein!!! Great variety!
Also, the service is cool, fast and efficient! Lastly the music is tight! Great hip hop beats from the 90’s abs current! Place is modern and a great chill spot!!!

Cool place to hang out. Their staff is really nice and are eager to serve you and answer any questions you have about the many things on their menu. I have yet to try their drinks but their deserts are great!

This Tapioca Express is so much nicer than the other ones. I seriously don’t know why they don’t make them all look like this.
The music is cool and not too loud. There’s the usual tables and chairs but also couches for lounging. There’s FREE wifi.
They have your typical drink and boba choices, small food dishes, and they also have shaved ice. They’re located right next to Vampire Penguin so I’m sure they’re competing but $ 4.95 gets you a bowl of shaved ice of your flavor. The serving is plenty as it will be just enough for two people. Toppings are 50 cents and syrups are free to add. It’s extremely delicious. The service is nice. They’re pretty fast for the amount of people that come in.

Three words: COMBINATION YOGURT FROST! This is, by far, the best item on TapEx’s menu. It’s basically a yogurt smoothie with various fruit syrups, topped with freshly diced fruit, and it’s freaking delicious! Definitely try this!
On my most recent visit, I noticed that there are several new items on their menu. They have a roasted milk tea and a tea lush smoothie (?), which they described as in between an icee and smoothie. I asked if they would be willing to give samples, but the employee said everything was made to order (womp womp womp). They do have a sign at the register that states that if you are not satisfied with your order, they can and will remake it for you. Maybe I’ll take them up on this offer next time (;

Went here for a drink and didnt find out about their huge selection of foods til after the order! Going to have to come back to try the food cause the drinks were delish! I ordered the yogurt combo and the passion tea black with basilseeds aloe and grassjelly sooo good. Didnt like the wait time though. Took like 20minutes to get our drinks

I will never go there again. I drank some milk tea and ended up with pieces of metal in my mouth! Small pieces of what looked like crumpled strips of hard aluminum. METAL!
HOW DOES THAT HAPPEN?!? This is not the kind of accident that can be overlooked, like a dirty glass or even a piece of hair in your food. This is dangerous!
The new «roasted» flavor tastes like a watered down version of the regular milk tea. And it’s completely overpriced, large with boba was $ 5.10.
Also ordered the garlic noodles with prawns. It smelled delicious but the only garlic flavor came from eating the actual garlic.

This location is open till 10:30, this itself gives this boba place some merit, especially since there is no boba place in Sacramento that opens till that late. The tapioca express near the sleep train arena closes a lot earlier than this location.
I ordered the taro milk tea, and another person in my party ordered the passion fruit ice. These two orders were fast and tasted really good when they came out.
I was looking to try something new and asked the girl working there what a milk drink was and she was very through about the ingredients made in every «milk _​_​_​_​».
This boba place looks very modernized and has the atmosphere to grab a drink and hang out in the comfy seats.
This location was strategically opened in location so that the people who shopped or needed service could grab boba on their way out of the plaza, I would highly recommend giving this place a shot.
Oh they also have large pictures of what the kitchen cooks right in front of the cashier.

This is the surely the nicest looking Tap X I’ve been to– couches, IKEA-​esk tables, chairs and décor. *BONUS they have ‘no touch’ trash cans. Oh they fancy out heh *insert smirk face emoji
This Tap X has a variety of dranks (snow bubble, milk, flavored tea, smoothies, etc) and I notice they can also be served in mason jars too. They offer the typical boba shop snacks as well (fries, popcorn chicken, onion rings, fried calamari, etc). BUT WAIT! not only do they have snacks but they have food food and shaved ice! They have noodle dishes, teriyaki bowls, fried rice, chow fun, etc. And their shaved ice is taiwanese style of course.
I’ve ordered the chow fun before and it was not bad for $ 6+. You get a good amount for what you pay for and it contains a good amount of meat and veggies. I didnt expect their to be regular onions and green onions thrown in (I’ve should’ve asked, not a fan), so I considered it CHOW FUN WITH OBSTACLES. I couldn’t finish it all the the shop so I took it home… and it tasted just as good when reheated. It wasn’t great, but it was good. Their drinks here never seem to disappoint as well.
This tap X is a great spot to hang with your squad, grub and even study (they have free wifi fyi) This place is quite big and spacious, you can even have a group meeting here (if you want), there’s plenty of space at the couch area.
Overall, cool shop, good customer service, food/​drinks are good. Its all good.
I just wish there were a spot like this in Fairfield =/

Open late on a Thursday night, unlike the nearby establishments of Bambu or Vampire Penguin.
The good: The space is airy and modern, and the shaved ice (aka snow ice) is decent. The guys helping us were friendly. We shared a honeydew melon ice that was very refreshing.
The bad or meh: The strawberry cheesecake yogurt frost was a little tart. Some of the names (snow ice, snow bubble) were also a little confusing. Pictures would be nice… they only had food photos up.
The good to know: Bathrooms are behind the metal bead curtain. I kind of liked the heavy beads even though initially I thought they were also a little cheesy (see my picture of the main room looking through the curtain).
Would I come here again? Sure, if I’m in the area and other dessert places are closed.
