Tapioca Express - San Jose

Really good Boba tea place and food is also great. Do visit.

They have a new beautiful ambiance/seating area with a very kind and helpful staff. I love everything on the menu so it's always hard to choose. Yesterday I went with something new and delicious, Ube Iced Latte. Oh my goodness was this heavenly, with the perfect amount of light to medium sweetness to their amazing cold brew iced coffee! My new FAVORITE!

I really enjoyed my Thai tea snow drink. Great boba drinks. They have a bunch of food too, but I've never ordered it.

I am addicted to their mangonada and have been here repeatedly because I stop by every time I am in the area. Food looks good, but I haven't had a chance to try it yet. Nice people, decent atmosphere.

Even though Tapex isn't really one of the popular boba shops in the Bay, they still make some bomb drinks! The boba is sweet and chewy. I haven't been here in a hot minute, but I'm glad I did. Frozen cappuccino: 4/5 A pretty basic drink done right. I added honey boba to it just because I love boba. It's pretty well blended--the bits of ice is actually small enough to not have to chew. Calamari heads: 2/5 Pretty subpar actually. It's a bit pricey as well, but at least it's a decent-sized portion. I probably wouldn't get it again though. The atmosphere is pretty quiet. There doesn't seem to be a lot of people coming in here since my friend and I were there for about an hour and a half of only a couple of people walked in. Still good worth a try though!
