One of my favorite spots to order boba drinks. I always order the Thai tea snow bubble with large tapioca pearls -- it's my go-to drink and never disappoints. Super creamy, with that rich Thai tea flavor, and the boba is always fresh and perfectly chewy. Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of their snow bubbles. I've tried a few other flavors before, and they're all just as good. The shop always has friendly staff who make sure your order is just right. read more

I needed to cool off STAT. This 90+ weather is not fun sometimes. A quick stop into Tapioca Express for a large cool refreshing Mango/Strawberry Frosti Milk. Lovely friendly staff and my drink hits the spot for my drive home. Thank you girls! read more

I paid $13.21 for a mango yogurt drink and popcorn chicken. They were both mediocre. I came to this location because people said the Tapioca Express brand does popcorn chicken pretty well. It was average. Inside was nice and clean with plenty of seating. Service was fast a friendly. read more

There are many boba places in Natomas and we've tried them all. Tapioca Express is our favorite because the drinks are deelicious, snacks are tasty, prices are great, staff is friendly, and the parking is convenient and clean! They also have a really good rewards system, you can earn free toppings, upgrades, discounts, drinks... love it! read more

Idk who made my brown sugar milk tea this evening 09/08 a little after 8pm, but I pretty much hope this person makes it every time I come here! Best brown sugar milk tea ive had. Thank you so much!! read more

Wanted a cold drink and decided to try this place. They don't have any fresh fruit smoothies or drinks other than avocado. All their smoothies and drinks are made from some type of powder or syrup which was disappointing. You can combine flavors if you want. Decided to try a mango passion fruit icy with mango popping boba. It was refreshing and the boba was good. Service was good and when I had questions about what the drinks were, the cashier was knowledgeable. read more

Tapioca Express - Mango passion fruit icy with mango popping boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

Horrible, simply horrible. The food is the worst I've ever had from a restaurant. Disgusting would be giving them too much credit. Embarrassed for them that they'd send out such horrible food to a customer. Not even exaggerating a little, worst food I've ever been served. read more

I got 2 large red bean slushy yesterday and it had no flavor, I idk if they used enough red beans or used just a powder form, color was very light also I should have taken the picture but we just tossed it after few sips. I really wanted to like the local shop and support them but I would never go back again sadly. read more

Their snow bubbles are amazing and second to none! Great flavor selection. The drinks come out extremely fast. One time my drink was ready before my payment went through! read more

Honestly, it's a hit or miss with their attitude although we always come during closing time so maybe they're getting ready to go either way it's still our favorite Boba and by the way this isn't prejudiced a friend from snap something about their attitude before and I told her that it's a hit or miss read more

Omg do not get popcorn chicken here. It was salty and dry. I thought tapioca express is a chain but they use the same recipe for the chicken. I could make better popcorn chicken. I ordered 2 orders of the popcorn chicken what a big mistake that was. But the drinks are ok. I do like the fresh avocado drink. It was too sweet for me. I don't think I would order from here again which is a shame bc I love tapioca express. Maybe it's just this location. I hope the owner see this message and quality control the food. It was salty, heavily seasoned with msg (only msg makes my tongue numb) and the chicken was so dry. The breading was awful. I don't like giving bad reviews bc I know it affects peoples business but out of 4 items I bought only 1 was edible. read more

I don't like giving bad reviews, but I've been disappointed the 3-4 times I've been here. If I pay almost 7 dollars for a drink, I expect quality. 1. No prices on the menu. 2. I purchase Taro milk tea...every single time, they're watery without the quantity of taro flavor which should be there. I feel like I'm drinking purple water with a hint of taro. 3. Boba was not chewy all the way through. They were somewhat hard in the center. read more

I'm in this area a lot bc of the kid. Between karate and Kumon we're here at least once a week. The kid always orders an avocado milkshake with boba. This is our favorite boba mama/kid spot. In between karate and Kumon we hang to do hw. Staff are super friendly and helpful. One time, we accidentally left his backpack. Luckily, staff noticed and held it for us until we remembered and ran back for it. The food is yum too!!! read more

DELICIOUS!! It was our first time here. Lots of delicious menu items. We tried the honeydew Snowbubble and the mango Frosti Milk. What a treat. Can't wait to go back. Service was very friendly too. Clean inside! Definitely recommend!! read more

Great place, even better owner. This business has been around for maybe 20 years now. I remember coming here as a kid after school. Still as good as I remember it. Come in with respect and you will be shown respect! I recommend their mango snowbubble with lichi jelly or their strawberry snowbubble with mango jelly. My top 2. Also their fries are possibly the best fries I've ever had. read more

Mango snow bubble with lychee jelly is just mind blowing, love the atmosphere quiet and clean. Been coming to this location for almost 5 years now. read more

This place has been one of the longest standing boba shops in Sacramento. The prices are very low considering how much inflation has been happening and yet the quality does not decline. They always make fresh batches of boba throughout the day. Drinks are made extremely quickly. Had to stop by and try out their new menu item, yogurt frost. Been craving it since I've had it from another Tapioca Express location and I can't wait to come back for another! read more

This place used to be so consistently good but I believe the owner changed. We ordered 4 drinks from left to right: 2 strawberries, 1 matcha, and one Thai tea. Unfortunately we were unable to finish most of them. My poor husband forced himself to finish the Thai tea.. the strawberry lacked color and the matcha tasted like from a can. It was a waste of 20 something dollars. Highly disappointed and will not be returning. read more

Friendly staff, comfortable environment, plenty of space to park and drinks come out fast. My go to is the honey dew snow bubble with aloe( honestly the best aloe in Natomas. I've ordered it through out the week and it's always fresh.) read more

This place is really nice. I had a big order and they had it ready well under 5 min. But it wasn't busy. Lol drinks were delicious! I will go back to this location again. Customer service was good as well. read more

My daughter, her friend and I stopped by here since I needed one more drink purchase to get 10 total and you get your 11th free on a punch card. I had the sesame milk tea, my kid got the almond milk tea and her friend got the green oolong milk tea. We all liked our drinks. The service was passing. I loved my sesame! It had tons of sesame sediment on the bottom! I usually only found a handful of boba flavors I dig and this is one of them! Soooooo gooooood! I will definitely now come here for this drink. We hung out there for maybe 15 minutes not counting the time to prepare our drinks. There are maybe 10 tables which makes it cool to hang out or study for those in school. I think this was the 1st or close to the first boba that opened up in Natomas before the explosion of boba dotted our area. All in all, good drinks, reasonable pricing and nice vibe. Come try a drink here sometime! read more

Nope. Absolutely not. I ordered through DoorDash, so ofcourse it was a little more expensive than in person ($30 for two things). I ordered the chi chi fries and the strawberry frosty... Horrible. I used to come here as a kid and those were my favorite things to order and was hoping to get the same experience. The chi chi fries were dry little pieces of chicken and the fries were not cooked all the way through, so they were very oily. The strawberry frosty... Did the recipe change? I received a drink with NO sweetness (only the strawberry puree) and it just tasted like MILK. No tartness (how it's SUPPOSED to be) and no depth. I'm so disappointed with everything. I wish they still had the location in Roseville, because this one sucks booty. read more

Great customer service!Lady was so nice !So clean and nice inside.They have a lot choices.Love my drink! read more

Tapioca Express - Strawberry Lemonade with boba - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

THEIR BOBAS ARE ALWAYS HARD! DISAPPOINTING!! I'm a regular but I had stop coming there to support this boba shop because I noticed that the large cups are just the same amount of drink (ingredients) as the regular size and they just add water to fill it up. Adding water dilutes the drink and makes it less sweet and less slushy especially when I only order the snow bubble (slushy) drinks. So why even pay more for just extra water?! Craziness! The very last time I ordered my drink, the girl there had the nerves to tell me that it's how they make their drinks (watered down). LMAO. Yeah, uh NO! Make my drink correctly or give me my money back bc IKD if she's new because I'm not! SMH. read more

The Crispy Chicken came out fresh and hot. Not too fond of the Crispy Chicken texture here though. The Mango Frosti Milk was too sweet. The Mango Snow Bubble was good in taste but the boba was harder than I'd prefer. This was our first time at this location and will most likely be our last. read more

I dropped in just because I was feeling Boba-ish! When I was parking I noticed a car dropping off 2 people who walked directly towards the entrance of this Tapioca Express. I knew there may be a line. When I entered I thought, "Ugh, there's going to be a wait" but to my surprise it took me less than 10 minutes from entering, ordering, getting my order and leaving. They have excellent service and expected prices. I ordered from the Manager's Special Menu which was the TARO THAI MILK TEA with added Boba. I loved everything about it. The shop has a simple layout..quiet, pkaces to sit to sit to either wait for your order or enjoy it inside. I love Tapioca Express.. from the locations in the Bay Area to the locations in the Sacramento area.. I love it! I recommend it! read more

Been coming here for years. I usually get a mango green tea with a snack. I noticed the crispy chicken has changed over the years, so I tried the fried fish balls more recently and they're great! Medium spicy is my go-to spice level. Nice place to go for a quick drink and snack. read more

Ordered passion fruit green tea at 25% with extra tapioca both small and large. When I got my order it was 100% sweetened and barely any tapioca! I noticed the larger sized cups had way more tapioca than mine did. There was a long line, I didn't want to wait in line just to have them redo my drink. Can't come back here if I keep getting the same quality of drinks. This isn't the first time either. I'll just drive an extra 5 mins to the next tea shop. read more

This location use to be good, last few times I've been here I've noticed how dirtier and the lack of care for their drinks. Don't even get me started on the bathrooms , seems like that bathroom needs a good clean and if their bathrooms are disgusting, I can't imagine what their kitchen looks like. Anyways, really use to love this location, it's just not for me anymore. read more

I love this boba tea place. I go to many different shops due to driving a lot when I work and this one is great service. My order is always right and I love their drinks. Trying new ones lately so I'm not boring lol. read more

My kids love coming here! The drinks are delicious and the customer service is great. They seem to have raised the prices overtime but they have a reward system that gives you a free drink after gaining a certain amount of points. They also give out free birthday drinks which is always nice. They also sell food (I haven't tried any yet). read more

Tapioca Express - Yum,yum - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sacramento, California

Not the best place for bubble tea. The bubble tea here tastes like "paste". It tastes like something is in the milk that is not fully dissolved yet, which is weird. We went inside at lunch time, and it was empty except for the 2 of us. The renovations inside is quite big, with lots of tables, but the lighting is dark and the place seems old. The price of the bubble tea is also not cheap, compared to other bubble tea places. Overall, would recommend not going in here, and finding drinks elsewhere. Sharetea is only a few blocks away. read more

Oh my gosh. Worst customer service ever. Two ladies seemed annoyed we are there. You should fire these two unprofessional workers. One lady put the drinks in front of the register and my husband asked if it's our order, and the two ladies looked at each other like "duh?!!" and seemed irritated. We were just trying to confirm coz who know if it's our order or not. And everytime I looked at them they seemed annoyed and irritated. I'm not sure what they're going through but please if you are in the food service industry, be nice to people.. SMILE!!! Fake it if you are not a friendly person, because we the customers don't deserve your shitty attitude. We are not getting our food for free!!!! I wanted to leave the drinks and leave but my husband took it... what a waste of money and time. They made us feel unwelcome. The drinks were also blah nothing special. And the staff's attitude made it taste worse. So people if you want a so-so drink and want to get your mood ruined, come here. read more

Order autumn milk tea and green apple snow. The autumn milk tea tastes like Thai tea but not as sweet. The green apple snow is gross. We went in at 3 pm on a Friday, and they were out of popcorn chicken already. Felt like the 3 young adults/teens did not want to cook, but we will no longer go here again. Idk if this place is under new management or what, but this is not the same as since the last time we went here since we moved in 2018. read more

The service there is really great and the young lady named Lina is so helpful and such a pleasant young lady the drinks are really delicious and the snacks are yummy will be back again!! read more

What a disappointment! I ordered a oolong milk tea with boba. They messed up the order and just give me oolong tea with boba. I asked them to make me a new one, instead of doing that, they put in probably 1 teaspoon of milk power. Stirred it up and the result is...... I have the most bitter milk tea ever in my life with 10 bobas and paid the same as everyone else. Lack of care for the customer and a sloppy job is what you will see at this place. read more
