Feedback
Tapioca Express has garnered mixed reviews, with many patrons expressing frustration over subpar drinks and inconsistent service. Complaints about overly sweet boba, rude staff, and unfulfilled menu items dominated the feedback. Some guests experienced long wait times and unapproachable customer service, which dampened their overall experience. Conversely, a few loyal customers praised the establishment for its unique snacks like popcorn chicken and fried calamari, alongside affordable drinks. Despite the challenges, some find comfort in the familiar flavors, often returning for quick bites, although cleanliness and service attitudes remain areas for improvement. Overall, the experience is highly variable.
The devil works hard but tapex works harder lol if you're ordering 1 drink it'll be ready before you even walk away (usually.. unless it's busy) They renovated the floors and there's no more tables inside, just chairs to wait for your order. I always enjoy their snow (especially mango) fruit teas. My favorite fruit tea is the passion fruit green tea I love adding lychee jelly. For food, their popcorn chicken is so good! Pretty consistent throughout the years. If you like spicy then go for the higher numbers. But for me, someone who enjoys mild spice, a level 1 is too spicy and have to go less than that. Tapex is good for wanting to go back to old time classics. There are way too many new boba shops popping up with eccentric drinks but terrible milk teas lol
I am a milk tea fan, I love Tapioca Milk tea since they had a store at Cupertino. The taste is always good. The Boba is soft and chewy. Crispy salty chicken are so delicious too. The only downside is they open really late 12pm so I can't enjoy milk tea in the morning.
The popcorn chicken at this restaurant is legendary. It's fried, so if you're health-conscious, I wouldn't recommend it. However, it's a must-try otherwise. If you can't handle spicy food, I suggest trying a 0.5 level of spice for a milder option, as their spice levels can be extreme. Avoid level 5 spicy unless you really love spicy food. Personally, I always order combo A because the milk tea helps balance out the spice of the chicken, and they offer small pearls which I wish more boba shops would have. This place only accepts cash or debit card, but I recommend using cash because they charge 50 cents for debit transactions. Overall, if you're looking for a quick bite, I recommend stopping by. I always grab a snack here when I pass by.
The best tapioca express that I been too. They have amazing snacks like fried mushrooms, calimari heads , or even friend popcorn fish. Drinks are also great and reasonable priced! Much cheaper than most other places. Even though this place is far for me Ialways go here since I can't get their snacks anywhere else. Highly recommended!
Boba was straight up sugar syrup. Need special effort to make it that bad. GF had a milk black tea and said it was the worst one she ever had. The lady at the counter was super rude to me and my girlfriend. Thought it was us but she was rude to the ladynext to us as well.
