I came into this place a few times during the transition of new management. Compared to the old management, I feel more comfortable with the service and environment. My usual here is the Jasmine Milk Tea with egg pudding. It was absolutely amazing. It's a very simple drink and I just love the way the employees make it here. I would also recommend the popcorn chicken as well as the PanDan Waffle. The pricing is very average and affordable. It's a nice place to come and hang out or meet a friend for some quick drinks. Also, great to just grab your drink and snacks and go. It's basically a great overall place to socialize and enjoy yourself. As this place has been under new management for quite some time, I feel like they should have made it more known to the public so I could have came here sooner. read more

Tapioca And Tea - Hot chrysanthemum tea with Honey! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Fast and friendly service. I ordered a large strawberry snow. The large is really large. I'm giving it a 4 star only because it lacks flavor. I mainly taste sugar and water down star berry. read more

Tapioca And Tea - Strawberry snow - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Tapioca and Tea is a fantastic Milk Tea, Snow Bubble, and Boba stop. If you love Boba and are in town, try it out! My fiancé and I have had the privilege of enjoying milk teas, snow bubbles, and popcorn chicken from Tapioca and Tea more times than we could possibly count. We are never disappointed. The restaurant is pretty cute with fun decor, lots of tables and sofa, board games, and a huge menu of delicious drinks and snacks. I love to order any snow bubble with boba, while my fiancé indulgences in all of the milk tea options. The boba is soft and rich, and the sweetness of the drinks is always perfect. We've had great customer service of many-an-occasion, and the drinks are mainly quickly. The restaurant is always clean and inviting, and you always feel welcome when you walk in. Bathrooms are in great shape. Free wifi is offered. Don't forget to grab a stamp card! Overall, Tapioca and Tea is a great spot to chill, catch up on some homework, enjoy some great food and drinks with friends, and play some board games. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys boba. Overall, a great 4 out of 5 stars. read more

Tapioca And Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Not bad of a place! Got my regular drink, which was the Lychee slush with Lychee Jelly. Nothing special, but still pretty tasty and not too sugary. The popcorn chicken was ordered with medium spice, but it was still waaay to spicy for my liking. It still tasted really good though, and came with sweet and sour sauce to dip it in. Pros- -Extensive Menu with various options -Pretty decent food menu -Credit card accepted here, and pretty standard, cheap pricing -Very clean, and spacious place Cons- -Didn't look. or tasted like fresh fruit was used on any drinks served here. Not TOO big of a deal, but still. If some places do it, I don't see why this place can't do the same. read more

Tapioca And Tea - Popcorn chicken - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Elk Grove, California

POPCORN CHICKEN IS AMAZING. Way worth the price. My boyfriend and I are addicted to it because they give such a good size portion of the chicken and it's not all breading! I haven't tried much of anything else. I think I will try one of the fruity teas next time I go there. Only down side is that they charge a fee for debit transactions unless it's $10 and up! read more

Tapioca And Tea - Crepes with mixed fruit & green tea ice cream $5.25 - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Elk Grove, California

Went here because I noticed it was new and close to my work. I tried the Passion Lemon tea and popcorn chicken (medium). I hoped that their tea at this place is similar to T-pumps in San Francisco. Nevertheless, it was good and refreshing. T-pumps still trumps on this. The boba wasn't sweet and tasteless. Popcorn chicken had the right hint if spiciness to it. Also, it did not have deep fried airy pieces. The only downside is that it's a little pricey for boba compared to other places I've been to. read more

Tapioca And Tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Elk Grove, California

I usually go to Tapioca and Tea when I'm in Elk Grove and don't feel like driving too far for boba. If you're a fan of TapEx or boba joints similar to that, you'll probably enjoy this place as well. The drinks are decent. I'm pretty simple and usually get jasmine milk tea, coffee milk tea, or Vietnamese coffee. The drinks aren't too sweet and not watered down and the coffee is strong, so that's a plus if you like your coffee that way like I do. I've also had the popcorn chicken and calamari. You can customize the spicy level and ask for sauce if you'd like. Good snacks if you're looking for something to eat on the go. The service is good! The workers always greet me when I walk in and they are pretty efficient in taking orders and making drinks. Even if there is a wait or the workers are busy making large orders of drinks and cannot take your order right then and there, they acknowledge your wait and let you know they'll be with you instead of making you feel like you're not noticed while you wait. I've also studied here a few times. Can get loud when the rush of high school students or families come, but plenty of space/tables, outlets, and wifi if you don't mind the possibility of noise. Not my favorite boba place but will definitely continue to come back when I'm in the area. read more

I come here at least twice a week, SERIOUSLY! What do they put in their drinks?!? I've never loved a jasmine milk tea so much. (I get my jasmine milk tea with a hint of honey) I wrote a little tip last year saying mediocre food and service, but now they are under new management and is doing much better. When first came to Tap and Tea last year I got the jasmine milk tea and fried calamari, oh it was so bad I didn't even write a review so I wrote the tip Mediocre food and service. I can't really remember what was bad with the tea but the calamari was pretty much a thin rubber band with EXTRA chewy breading. When I saw it, it did look nice and huge I thought I got a deal but when I bit into it...eh. Secondly I ordered a large and they gave me a small, I told the guy and he said I had to pay extra....wtf? If you want customers to come back for your mistakes don't you say my bad and make them a large? So ever since then I didn't come back until probably a month or two ago when my friend wanted to meet there. Since there is new management now, the service has upgraded!!! twenty mil. thumbs up. Mimi is awesome, very friendly and had no attitude! and I go there so much that they remember what I want! ahaha Any way, I always get the jasmine milk tea add a hint of honey half grass jelly half boba. Their boba is never bad, it always tastes fresh and doesn't seem to disappoint me. MMMM I love how they make the drink how I want it, it makes my day and it keeps me coming back for more! I've recently tried the popcorn chicken, and it isn't as bad as the calamari, fried zucchinis are delicious too! I hate zucchinis but these are delish. same atmosphere and same setting as it was when tap ex was around, just different management and hopefully different and better food! read more

I wanted to try a locally owned place with my boys so we went here before heading to Target to look at video games. It was our first time and this place is a little tricky to find since it's in a hallway and you can't see it from the street. If they didn't have a sign on the front of the building, I wouldn't have know about it. We ordered 3 drinks and a pandan waffle. The girl behind the counter was friendly. My kids got icy with jelly and neither one of them liked their drinks. They weren't super "kid friendly tasting". I probably should have asked what kids like to order there. I got the pineapple snow bubble with mango and I liked my drink. This was my first time trying pandan waffle and parts of it were burnt. It was ok but based on this experience, I would never order one again. It wasn't worth the money to have a small waffle with burnt pieces. My kids liked playing the board games that they offered but that's not enough to bring us back especially with the plethora of tea places nearby. read more

Great boba. My kids love their boba. It's good size, quick service, great taste. Will definitely come back for more. Also conveniently located with parking read more

Fast service and the tea is great. The food is pretty good too. I've only been here post-lockdown so everything is quiet and the place is mostly empty. But I like it like that. I can sit outside and enjoy my tea. read more

I would come here every single day if I could. They have THE best avocado snow bubble I've tried from somewhere other than an actual Vietnamese restaurant. Quickly is awesome, but this place beats the poop out of their avocado snow. My husband has gotten the taro snow a couple times and it is also very good. They have free wi-fi most of the time and on weekends, a large pack of dudes can be found here with computers and consoles, all gathered on the couches and chairs. It's very comfortable and friendly and I'm going to be going back again soon! read more

The drinks are pretty solid but the snacks? *chefs kiss* I love getting the popcorn chicken, fried tofu, and fried chicken wings here. It's always consistently flavorful and fresh. read more

Of all the tapioca Express variations, this one , I must say, is extremely nicer than all the other ones ive been too.. Marble counters!! Wows. The people are friendly and nice. Free Wifi. Sofa. Etc.. This is a very nice meeting spot for studying and what not. Very convenient and nice. The staff is extremely nice, they even bring you the items you ordered when they aren't busy. I come here once a month... I definitely recommend this one over all the other tapioca express' in the area. Pros: Staff, Great location, free wifi, good for studying Cons: Price, Menu selection (limited) Star: 3.75 read more

Tapioca and Tea recently catered the boba bar in our recent wedding and it was a hit! The boba drinks were delicious. Working with them was really really easy, too. They answered all of my questions, they delivered to the venue, set up, and the prices were reasonable. I think all occasions should have a boba bar from Tapioca and Tea! read more

*WARNING* This is not tapioca express but tapioca and tea. I love tapioca express and l loved it when this store used to be one but when I came back home for the holidays there was a change in employees and management. I bought the food here like I always had done before to find that the quality of the food also dropped drastically. The calamari was horrible it was like eating rubber bands rolled in dough then deep fried to the hottest level to find it mild and lukewarm. The boba or "tapioca" was not fresh. I thought they just had a bad day so I came back to only find the same disgusting quality. Last time eating here. Thanks Tapioca Express in Sacramento. I will be going to Lolicup from now on. My tip: Just go to lolicup. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. They have extra small tapioca which I feel safe giving to my toddler who loves his boba drinks! Today I tried their strawberry Snow Bubble and it is so delicious. You can taste that they use REAL strawberries! I even got a free LARGE drink today because they accidentally made too much and so I gave it to my husband and even he says it tastes good!! He doesn't even like smoothies but he likes it! read more

I've heard a few good things about this place. It's just so far away from me that I've never had the chance to try it. Since I was willing to drive all the way to Elk Grove, I said I might as well try this place out. I was in dire need of a pandan waffle. I get there and I'm clearly confused at how to enter the parking lot. Haha So I parked on Hometown Buffet's back end and walked over. First impression, very cutesy and modern. They have an old game machine towards the register that looked like it wasn't working. I ordered 3 large Thai teas with boba and a pandan waffle. From pictures, their pandan waffles looked pretty big. When I got it, not so big. Thai teas were on point! It was good Thai tea. The pandan waffle tasted a little salty for me. =\ Not too sure if they even put salt in it, but it tasted salty to me. I still can't find a pandan waffle that compares to the bay area's in Sacramento. I haven't tried any of their other snacks, but they sound pretty tasty! If I come back, it's definitely for their Thai tea. read more

The best spot in Elk Grove to get any kind of tea with boba. Good, open environment with a calm atmosphere and a comfortable couch. Some of the best prices lately, $7 for a large! read more

5 stars because... Yesterday i received great customer service when they remade a drink for me to ensure i was satisfied. Ordered two large thai teas w/ boba and a mango tea. Also a great value - their large is $5.50 and a good sized large. Sorry i don't know the size in ounces. Boba a little hard in center; thai tea strength and sweetness adequate, not too weak, not too strong. (Although for me, i prefer a very strong brew). read more

I frequent here when I come home. It's a great meeting place for me to see old high school friends and do, well, pretty much the same thing we did in high school. We just order a drink and sit and catch up. Occasionally we come to play cards or connect four. It's just, a nice, easy- going place to hang out with friends. I typically order almond milk tea with boba. Not the best boba, but it's still tasty. I also like ordering the spicy fries. It's like a game to see how much I can handle level 4 fries. I've tried level 5 and ended up crying with a runny nose. Never again :P. read more

This tapioca express is probably one of the cleanest and modern Tapioca express ive been to. It's a great place to catch up with friends or do homework. Their Milk tea is delicious and pop corn chicken is fresh! Service is good and music isnt too loud. read more

This location is definitely better than the location in Natomas. Their drinks are mixed better. They also have better snack choices. I like their cheese wontons and spicy popcorn chicken. The service is fast and the lady is super sweet. Sucks how they charge for using your debit card though. read more

Got to love their avocado shakes! :) Great drinks and great atmosphere. Staff here are super nice and friendly. They recently started selling fresh squeezed orange juice which I love. Other drinks I'd recommend is their mango snow bubble and honey dew shake! read more

Love this place! I always get the large Thai tea with lychee jelly my kid loves it! It is to die for this is my go to place for myself my two year old toddler and three teenagers my sister being one and two cousins all three in high school.

Highly recommend this place. read more

My sister has been a long time customer to this boba shop. She normally gets a large thai tea and occasionally will add egg pudding. She swears by this tea house. Since moving to the West Coast I must say that my boyfriend and I have become regular customers to Tapioca and Tea. I have tried other boba places, but truly enjoy the taste and selection here. My drinks of choice are the jasmine green tea sweetened with lychee jelly, jasmine milk tea with boba, thai tea with egg pudding, and green apple tea with lychee jelly/green apple jelly. You really cannot go wrong here! They also serve appetizers/finger foods, be sure to try: fish balls, pandan waffle, scallops, or the chicken (Note: Beware of the seasoning spice!) read more

My friend took me to Tapioca and Tea a couple of weeks ago and I hadn't stopped thinking about it since, so I finally went again after swimming at Wackford and it was just as delicious as the first time I went! I appreciate consistency! They have a good variety of food on their menu, but I had the fried zucchini again and instead of a small caramel bubble tea (mixed), I had a large one with the tapioca pearls, the YUM just keeps coming!! Looks like a nice family run place and it's so cute, cozy, and inviting! Excellent customer service and delicious treats! Thank you!!!! read more

8/9/2018: Deanna Jaxine Stinson treated me to Tapioca and Tea, before going to Petco today. I had the chocolate drink, very delicious. The place has couches which are very comfy as we waited for our drinks. Reasonable prices, Deanna spent $10.00 for 2 drinks. My only complaint is that the cashier that served us, speaks too fast and she doesn't smile.

This is probably my most favorite bubble tea establishment I have ever been to. I had a peach snow tea with large tapioca pearls and it was delicious. Blended flavored tea with tapioca pearls.yesterday I went back and I got the strawberry snow tea and hands down that was the best I have ever tasted . They have couches so you can study and hang out . They have my vote very clean and very yummy read more

i dont know why people keep bagging on the calamari. like yeah i get it, the piece of squid is legit string sized but the flavor and texture is very satisfying. being that the $8 boba is the baseline nowadays, id rather save my money and go here. for $4, the quality here is reasonable. order deets: Honey Dew Snow Bubble w/ boba - tastes like honeydew with boba :p read more

Ordered a jasmine milk, taro, and strawberry icy for the family and we were all satisfied. The dining room is cozy, customer service was satisfactory. I can't lower rating for this, but I found it annoying that the only entrance to the plaza was from the main road. You cannot enter the parking lot through the inner plaza. read more

I've gone to the post office right next to this place many times, I'm not sure how I missed it. I had a pretty good first-time experience. I ordered a strawberry tea (My usual drink at tea places) and a pandan waffle, and my friend ordered a milk tea with boba and cream cheese wontons. They forgot about my waffle and I had to remind them, but they apologized and made me two waffles. Everything tasted great. The inside of the place was clean, nicely furnished and decorated. The workers there were all nice and really pleasant to talk to. This place deserves more attention than it seems to get. I definitely recommend it to those who enjoy places like Lollicup and Quickly. I'm looking forward to my next visit. read more
