    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!

    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.

    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

    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!!

    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!

    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.

I ended up finding their take on my favorite coffee drink (Kerouac), and I was able to order it large - score!! It was muy, muy delicioso until the very last drop. On top of that, being very hungry and wanting breakfast, I was recommended a lovely turkey or ham croissant - and when additions were suggested, I just asked for eeeeeeverything (bacon, avocado, etc.). And guess what? That breakfast sando was eeeeeeverything!!! It blew my mind!! My neck was sore after all was said and done, because I kept shaking my head in disbelief, saying to myself things like "aww man this is GOOD" and "mmmMMM"!! Anyway, on top of this, the kind and happy folks making the magic happen behind the counter were fun, efficient, and receptive to me projecting all of my enthusiasm their way, haha. And yes the joint itself looks very nice and has ample seating, despite the narrow space. This place deserves all the love, all the attention, and all of the business!! Indeed, I had an amazing first experience - and it was no surprise that they had a line out the door. Thank you, Maestro for an unforgettable experience. I know where my new favorite coffee/breakfast place is!!! ^_^

It had a light bubbly/airy texture and taste, compliments to the nitro brew. It was still pretty good but don't expect traditional bold taste of a Vietnamese coffee. Pistachio mocha -Mind blowing and delicious, definitely a different pistachio profile than what I've tried before. Sandwiches: Bay Area brisket -quite delicious and juicy which paired well with the stretchy cheese, don't forget to pull Squealer -great mix of flavors with the added crunch from the slaw -pulled pork was perfect Overall: great place to try a hardy grilled cheese or get a cup of joe!

The Americano here is easily the best I've had--bold, full of flavor, and not watered down like you get at a lot of bigger chain spots. You can tell it's made with intention. It actually tastes like coffee is supposed to taste. The pastries were just as impressive. The Biscoff cheesecake was rich and balanced without being overly heavy, with that warm, caramelized flavor that really stands out. The blueberry muffin tasted fresh and real--not overly sweet, just done right. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere sets the tone. The music is calm and relaxing, the chairs are genuinely comfortable (not the typical stiff coffee shop seating), and the entire space feels less like a business and more like sitting in a welcoming home--a nice home where you actually want to stay awhile. But what really sets this place apart is the experience. Abdul didn't just take our order-- he genuinely engaged with us. He was friendly, thoughtful, and took the time to explain the concept behind the space, including how it connects to the location and atmosphere. That kind of interaction is rare, and it completely changed the tone of the visit. This isn't a place you rush in and out of. It feels built for conversation--for sitting down, slowing down, and actually connecting with the people you're with. It's a refreshing change from the typical coffee chain experience where everything feels standardized and transactional. Another standout is that the menu is halal, which makes this an easy and welcoming choice for anyone looking for halal options without having to second guess what they're ordering. If you're looking for more than just caffeine--if you want a place that values community, comfort, and real human connection--this is absolutely worth your time. This place reminded me what a coffee shop is supposed to be.

I ordered a veggie sandwich which was filled with fresh veggies and my choice of sauce. My dad ordered a biscoff cheescake.

I recommend asking for added sweetness if you prefer sweeter drinks. The setting was nice and calm as well, we will definitely be returning! Come support small and new local business!
