I stopped by to try their Thai tea with boba. I i haven't had such a soft boba for a long long time. As you can see in my reviews i have Been to too many boba places and never had such a soft and fresh boba. Highly recommended. read more

If you're looking for a good boba place... Better go drive another mile away and have Ume... just saying.

I love this Tapioca Express. Their drinks never miss and I appreciate their late hours when it seems every other boba place around here is closed by 10pm. I usually get their snow bubble drinks and they're always blended very well, no random ice chunks. Also, unlike the majority of boba places, this location offers small boba as a topping! Their waffle fries are very good and they offer a wide variety of snacks with halal options. Have only had good customer service experiences here, the staff are courteous and upbeat. I've never had to wait long for my order. There's plenty of seating but I haven't seen many people if any sitting inside if they're not waiting for their drinks. read more

I started coming here more over the last 1-2 months because it's close by in a super convenient location and they have great deals on TGTG. It's also a little bit of nostalgia because my very first boba was at a TapEx down the street from where I lived back in junior high. Although I wouldn't say the drinks here are the best I've ever had, service is friendly and quick, it's open late, and it satisfies my boba cravings. At this point, this is probably also one of the few boba places around where it doesn't cost almost $10 for a drink once tax/tip are factored in. Taste-wise, I like their fruit teas with boba a little more than their milk teas. Their waffle fries and seasoned fries are also super tasty and go over really well when you're craving a savory snack. :] I'm sure we'll be back again soon! read more

They open late during the weekdays! Quick service as I only ordered a taro milk tea with boba. Boba was on the softer side but the drink was good. It didn't taste too powdery. They had small bites options too but I didn't get a chance to try. If you're looking for something quick, come visit. They also have games to play but it looked like it's been used multiple times so not the cleanest. read more

This Tapioca Express location is in a big, but semi-quiet plaza. There is plenty of parking here as well. Only a couple of other customers inside, who already ordered and looked like they have been sitting there for a good minute before we arrived, but they still did not get their orders. 15-20 minutes after we arrived and ordered, they finally got their order and we did not get our order for at least another 5-10 more minutes (my friends and I only ordered 1 drink each, so 3 drinks in total). Kind of crazy that it took almost half an hour to get a few drinks and it was nearly empty inside. I tried the Jasmine Milk Tea with boba, since I thought it was decent / not too bad last time - I ordered a large this time. Unfortunately, it was horrible and it definitely did not taste like last time, so what a waste of money and time. The milk tea was overly sweeten and it tasted more like a strong tea like more of a black tea base than a jasmine tea. It also had a strange aftertaste to it as well. 3 sips later, I felt like I was going to puke, so I tossed it - a waste of almost $7.50. read more

Brought the drinks home and 2 of them did not have a proper seal. I put the drink upside down to mix the topping and the seal broke. Called the store and the person said it's not his problem. Didn't offer an apology or a remake or even a refund. Horrible customer service. read more

My family was visiting for the first time. The Tapioca Express in my city closed down but luckily this location didn't disappoint. The dining area was nice and cozy with some board or card games for the kids. The gentleman that took our order was nice and friendly. We ordered mild popcorn chicken with barbecue sauce on the side, large mocha snow with regular boba, and a small ice tapioca. The drinks and snack were yummy. read more

Went to this branch as it was one of the only ones open at the time (10:45 PM). The sign said they take pickup orders until 11:30 which I thought was great since most establishments close early. I got my go-to TapEx drink, which is the Snow Bubble. The snow bubble tastes great, seemed very fresh and is the same drink I always get. The drink selection was smaller, but it seems that the staple drinks are available here. The drinks were made quite quick too and the staff were very friendly. I would also like to note that this location is newer with digital displays and a more modern feel. read more

Got 2 drinks and fries from too good to go! We were pleasantly surprised with our bag as we got a milk tea and this green drink which I think is wintermelon? The milk tea was delicious; it was perfectly sweet and the tea flavor was well balanced with the sweetness. The wintermelon drink was okay; I'm just not a fan of wintermelon so this wasn't my favorite. We also got fries as well and they tasted like Cajun fries and were flavorful as well. I would come back to try other drinks on the menu! read more

Another tap ex spot located close to home. I enjoy the fact that tap ex have both drinks and snacks that can be bought all at one sitting. want a quick snack while you pick up your boba, sure! Tapex to the rescue! I have been coming to these locations as a teen in high school til now. I feel that tap ex was prolly one of the first ones around town before all the boba pop ups started to come along. some of my all time fave to order here are the slushes and popcorn chicken. Other snacks are also good. I normally tend to stick to the slushes or milk teas from here. Service is quick and fast here with great taste! read more

Milk tea is so expensive nowadays! As a millennial some times I just miss the affordable and average tapioca milk tea from the early 2000s just to satisfy a sweet tooth. I swung by for an assam milk tea with boba and it tasted like the good old days when boba was under $8 everywhere. No public restrooms. They have a few tables but maybe not the best hang out spot, strikes me as a grab and go. read more

I was able to try this place thanks to the Too Good to Go app, and it was pleasantly surprising! I got a fruit tea, milk tea, and spicy onion rings for less than $10 - the milk tea had just the right sugar level, making it go down easy without being overly sweet, and paired with the onion rings, truly hit the spot! The store was still relatively busy around closing hour, and it's located in south Fremont in a strip mall with not much else around (the parking lot can be a bit spooky at night, so be aware if you're alone). If it weren't for the location, I would be frequenting this place more often, as the flavors, service, and quality were all there. read more

They serve halal chicken!!!! Popcorn chicken, chicken wings and chicken wraps! This is a plus since I have friends that eat halal. The staff is what makes me coming back. 3 guys during closing and 1 was so sweet! Got a milk tea w boba which was soo good and fries that were well seasoned. They offer student discounts. Plenty of parking in the plaza. Store is nice and clean. read more

The store has tables to hang out at and they have boxes of games (Jenga etc) to play. I Noticed a sign for free books so I guess people can exchange books there too. I ordered the oolong milk tea with boba and it had a bland flavor. The boba was very soft and mushy. Disappointed as I was hoping to find a good boba spot near me. read more

Uh... first it smelled like sewer when you walk in. 2nd we didn't even order because the people behind the counter didn't bother asking us if we were ready or welcome us. They gave us death stares and didn't care at all that they had customers. They cared more about their DoorDash, Uber eats orders. We ended up leaving. Fix your customer service. Don't intimidate people. read more

I had an absolute nightmare when the boba options were limited and when the barista messed up my order, he didn't even try to remake the drink or refund. Plus, the boba was very watered down and tasted of food coloring. The popcorn chicken tasted as it wasn't seasoned and was very dry in the inside. The place was nice at most. I would not recommend coming to this atrocity. I recommend going to Tpumps or Sharetea instead. read more

i took the boba home and all my drinks were leaking whenever i tried to open them or to stick the straw in. they put way too much of the syrup in my drink and it was excessively sweet, 2/3 of the drink was ice read more

Made the wrong choice to stop by to fill a late night boba craving. I ordered the honeydew fresh snow bubble and was surprised that the drink turned out to be bright green. It tasted like a honeydew flavored slushie, which is fine if that's what I ordered but I ordered a honeydew FRESH and I expected it to be made of fresh fruit, not syrup. The drink was almost $8 for syrup, ice, and apple jelly. I can buy a quality drink at heytea, chicha san chen or another boujee boba place for the same price. Won't be returning. read more

Stopped by for a drink and a snack on a Wednesday night. we were helped quicky and drinks came out fast. we got the avocado snow bubble, the taro snow bubble and also a popcorn chicken. avocado snow bubble was creamy and cold but not icy!! taro snow bubble was artificial tasting in the good way, a nostalgic treat! the popcorn chicken was well seasoned. enjoyed this night treat and will be back read more

Unfortunately the drinks were not good and the customer service was not great. I would not recommend.

If you are looking for this place to be like the other tap x... it's not! They have a smaller menu that the other ones do. When I went there was only 2 people working food didn't take long but the drink did. My grass jelly was need from the drink. Don't come when school is out, it dose get busy with kids. The place is nice and clean. read more

The first step in there was a foul oder, and employees were unwelcoming. They were out of calamari but had nothing stating that unless you ordered it. We ordered fries, popcorn chicken, and 2 drinks, and we're the only ones in the establishment, but it still took almost 20 minutes and didn't even start on our drink until we asked for an update. The tables were sticky as well. This is the worst tapex we've been to that made me want to leave a review. Would not recommend this place. read more

*won a giveaway for a free drink + snack! When I got to the boba place, it was empty until after I ordered when a group of three came in. Just by looking at the menu, there was a lot of food/drinks option to choose from. I chose the mango & peach snow bubble with mango jelly and a small box of macarons. I remember how tapex used to be popular back when I was in high school or even earlier but I never had the chance to check it out. I know there are a few other tapex location surrounding the bay, but this is my first time going to a tapex and this location to redeem my prize. The mango & peach snow bubble (smoothie) was actually pretty good. The combo of mango & peach can never go wrong, and it always hits the spot if you want something fruity and refreshing. The macarons was ehh for a boba spot to have. Of course, it doesn't beat French macarons, but I got it for free, so can't complain too much. I tried to look at their website if they had a description of what flavors they are, but couldn't find any, so I had to guess by the taste and color. I assume the yellow is lemon, green is pistachio, red is berry, and not sure what brown is. It had barely any flavor. Will I go back? Maybe, but not at this location. Since there's boba places popping up left & right, I'll probably go elsewhere to get boba, but it was a decent experience. read more

Was the only customer ordering drinks at the time. Ordered 2 hot teas. It took about 20 minutes for the drinks to come out. By the time I got my drinks, the drinks were room temp. Highly disappointed that it wasn't even hot. Hated to do it but I ended up throwing it away. Will be sticking to the union city location. read more

Finally stopped in to try the halal Tapioca express yes I said Halal. The one joy of living in the bay is the chance of one of your favorite chains being HALAL. We ordered the chi chi fries and popcorn chicken for the kids. There are five different level of spice level depending on you liking. No spice, Mild, spicy, extra spicy, and only spicy. For the older kids we did level 3 spicy and for kids we did mild. It was tolerable and no complaints. Yes for us adults we took it up a notch and went number five, extra spicy. As it was a cold evening we added Okinawa hot tea: a mixture brown sugar honey with tea to wake up your day. But I have to say it was super super sweet. I did dilute it with black tea. I think In the future I'll have to ask for less sugar. But I'm sure if it was iced It would have been perfect. They are a newbie in the area, grand opening was in May. Sidhart Waited on us and helped us with our orders. My kids love boba and usually know the menu better then I. I'm always lost and still in search of my most perfect cold and hot drink. Thank for the help. As it was a very cold evening kids didn't order drinks. But we shall be back. read more

First time going to this tapioca express. I always go to the one in union city. I prefer the milk tea at union city. It tastes better there. I ordered a large milk tea with small tapioca. My mom got a mango snow with boba. I preferred her drink over mine and she got 75% sweet. The mango that was included was hard but that was the only downside of the drink she got. I also liked the large tapioca in her drink and I rarely like large tapioca for drinks. I would come here again and order a mango snow. read more

How can server hear my order when he had AirPods on while taking my order?

Decided to try the new tap ex. I have Been wanting to try the fruit yogurt frost drink. It definitely hit the spot. Reminds me of yogurtlands plain froyo with fruit. My fiancé got the Thai tea and said it was really good as well. Also tried the chocolate chip and fruity pebble mochi waffles and they were delish. Would be even better with condensed milk in the side ! read more

Decided to try this place. The drinks are pretty good and sweet. The crispy halal chicken was pretty good, a little over cooked so it was pretty hard to chew but it would have tasted better. Molasses milk latte was sooooo good! Next time I plan on getting it 50% because 75% was still pretty sweet. I would try this place again. The service was great, they were very friendly. And the ambiance was a typical spot. read more

Clean and new, teas are good. Although my earl grey tasted faintly like durian (and I always order earl grey so I know to recognize for hints of lavender)... unsure why. Will try it again for sure though! Really hoping the "crispy chicken" is the way I expect from the other locations. read more

We got 3 drinks from this place (boba milk tea, Thai milk tea and watermelon slushy with boba). The only drink I tried was the watermelon slushy and it was perfect for such a hot day.

Extremely shocked to see such mixed reviews about this place as i've tried it about 3 times now through too good to go and i've had excellent experiences every single time. Fruit tea, milk tea and a snack all for 7 dollars. Each of their fruit teas are spectacular and truly some of the best in the bay. They aren't overly sweet and the boba is always fresh. All of their food is seasoned w rlly great flavors and I always come back for more. Service is always quick and the people are very friendly. read more

So excited to see a halal tapex!! I've always missed out on the classic boba + popcorn chicken, so I was really hype to give it a chance. I got a mango green tea (75% sweet, less ice) w half lychee half aloe with a popcorn chicken (4/5 spicy). Mango green tea was good, bit too sweet, but every boba shop has their own scale, I'll just keep that in mind for next time (note: after ordering, I saw that they had a fresh fruit tea series as well! def sounds more interesting). Popcorn chicken was tasty! Hot and well seasoned, and the sweet chili sauce was also super good with it. Only complaint though is that while I was eating the popcorn chicken, I got two fried whole garlic cloves. I ate around them, but the first one gave me a heart attack as I bit into it like oh my god what's in my chicken. all good though, def will be coming back and dragging my family and friends :) read more

I WASTED 7 BUCKS AND 30 MINS ON A ROTTON AVOCADO SMOOTHIE i'm actually very disappointed i've had good and sub par avocado smoothies but this doesn't even make it on the sub par list. How does it take 30 mins to make a single smoothie like dawg. yeah don't come here for their drinks i've heard their food is decent i guess. I even asked them to change it which they did but it did not change the taste at all. I've had avocado smoothies in the past and I know they aren't supposed to taste like this... read more
