Tapioca And Tea

I come here for the snacks. The popcorn chicken and tofu are delicious and crispy. The medium spice has the right amount of kick to it and is well seasoned. You can get soy sauce, sweet and sour, or ranch with your snack.The location is tucked in the corner of a plaza on Bruceville road. There is plenty of parking. The service is good too. The inside of the store has plenty of tables and wall adapters. A great place to study. The location isn't flooded with students and kids like other boba restaurants in the area - more families and adults go here.

Wonderful wide selection of drinks and finger foods and snacks to enjoy. Great value for their price, and they offer a stamp card rewards program. The staff are kind, friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable about everything they offer with great offerings and suggestions. I enjoy my time here and I look forward to stopping by and trying something new! Shoutout to the entire team for being so kind and welcoming. The young gentleman helping me out and being patient with me was incredibly kind, I wish I grabbed his name, but shoutout to him for making my first time experience enjoyable and desiring to come back!Interior is suitable for study groups or table top games or just wanting to read or work or chitchat. They even have a little library available and shelf of games available.

Popcorn chicken + Taro/Coconut (medium, no toppings) = $15.05You can definitely chill a bit here to catch up with friends. There's a table big enough for 8 and a sectional couch to lounge on. I think the interior needs some color since it's a boba location. It's all brown and tan inside. The order was made quickly, but with your average customer service. Popcorn chicken is expensive, but I do like their fry and flavor on it compared to other boba places. The taro/coconut snow bubble was good too. We parked behind the Well Seasoned Buffet and walked across. If my husband did not show me where this place was, I probably wouldn't have found it.

Nostalgia, consistency, and the Popcorn Chicken is why this place is 5 stars in my book. Called Tapioca Express back in the day, I'm surprised they survived the pandemic and all those competitive Instagram-decorated new boba shops. This place has no frills. Just basic boba tea drinks and traditional toppings, which works well for folks who don't care for all the fancy toppings and sugary bases. I like their pure Jasmine Tea, which is brewed so strongly, you can taste the bitterness of the tea.The snacks are why I come here though. They have the original chili, salt & pepper mixed flavoring that only boba tea shops seem to have for their popcorn chicken, calamari, and other fried goodies. Over the years, the new fancier tea shops have deviated from this seasoning and offered basil with their popcorn chicken, yet the flavors were so bland! Tapioca & Tea stayed consistent. Their popcorn chicken and calamari still taste exactly like it did 10 years ago. Piping hot, crispy outside, juicy inside, and spiiiicy!There are a few tables outside and they will actually bring you your order. That's nice to know there are places that employees care enough to come out from behind their posts to bring you items. Great customer service!

Always my to go place! Love the food and drinks! Always mixing it up! They are also my go to catering for boba! The last time I had them cater I even ordered party tray of fries cream cheese wonton and it was a hit. The kids love going there to play with the games and grab a book or too like they can read beyond their level, so there are selections.

Man where do I even start with this boba shop. They practically watched me grow up, I've been going here since I was 13 years old when my friend Duccy took me here (R.I.P). I've moved away but I still stop by from time to time to support. So many memories were made in the general vicinity of this boba shop. Met a couple lifelong friends, a couple of them have passed away (R.I.P. Jimmy). Wiped the windows clean for free boba and popcorn chicken. Bagged my first emo girl here in 8th grade and had my first kiss by the garbage in the back. Lots of tears of frustration from doing homework... through middle school, high school, and college. The owner and her family still says hi to me , and compliments of how big I've gotten. They made me feel at home here, and still do as a grown 24 year old man :') shoutout to Kenny and his sister the OG baristas, and Jet the new gen. This is just my personal story with this place. It's more of a second home to me and I know lots of people share the same feeling about this particular boba shop. Thank you Tapioca for your hospitality over the years. I'd die for this place and you know it. - Dava.

The first time I came here was this past Saturday on a random whim. I was surprised at the size for such a good price! My boyfriend got the Thai tea with small tapioca pearl and I got the almond milk tea with coconut jelly. Today I was craving boba again so we went back. He got a piña colada snow bubble with coconut jelly - I got a mango snow bubble with large tapioca pearl and coconut jelly. Both of ours were so good!! The mango snow bubble reminded me of melted mango ice cream. His was a little sweet for his liking, but he still enjoyed it. Overall great drinks for a great price. We'll definitely be back.

Back in the day, this location was the only boba shop in Elk Grove. With that being said, it can't really compete with the current competition in Elk Grove. The menu is standard and basic to most boba shops, but they don't have anything that is spectacular or that is unique. I ordered a Thai tea milk tea, and it was alright. The boba however didn't seem soft. It was hard and not as flavorful. The place seems like a comfortable hangout spot, but again nothing out of the ordinary. Overall the drink was 3/5.

it's ight. i got the taro milk tea. milk tea pretty good. medium is more like a large but who am i to complain. shi lowkey a bargain. price is really good. but man i gotta say the boba kinda too soft, not enough give. but i gotta say the drinks came out quick. my bobarista was kristy and her service was rly good. oh yeah and it's pretty homey in there, not like the average boba spot but it's cool. very C-Pop. it's solid

Tapioca and Tea is one of the pioneer boba tea shops in Elk Grove. They're the very few first-generation tea bars that can still open until now in the highly competitive market for boba teas in Elk Grove today. My favorite items at Tapioca and Tea are their snacks. The Popcorn Chicken and the Fried Tofu are excellent. So yummy! I couldn't stop as soon as I took the first bite until the whole thing was gone! lolThe dining room is enormous, with a huge round table in the middle. It is perfect for high school kids who want to come here to study and have some snacks and drinks at the same time. The parking lot is busy but safe. Hard to find a parking spot in front of the store. I usually parked my car a little far away from the building. Avoid the after-school time here unless you're the student who comes here after classes.
