Little story.
California’s First Boba
How it began.
To craft the finest qualities of food and drinks
Wayne and Stephanie, passionate about their Taiwanese heritage, opened the first Tapioca Express store in the San Gabriel Valley in 1999 – one of the very first boba chains in the United States.
Since the beginning, Tapioca Express has harvested the finest ingredients from Taiwan and continually provides quality teas, boba, and snacks. However, we did not foresee that boba’s popularity would manifest into its own culture and become an everyday lifestyle.
Today, Tapioca Express expands across California and into other states, including Washington, Texas, and Virginia. In our two decades of experience in brewing, we focus on nurturing and enriching communities with the finest teas, coffee, and boba.
“I always loved TapEx and was so excited that they had a location right by our home. This tapex is usually pretty quick when making drinks/orders, and the line is never too long. They make their popcorn chicken super yummy & can never go wrong with a milk tea w/boba.” – Jocelyn A.
We’ve upgraded our drinks with a customized, balanced proportion of our coffee and lattes and traditional boba. We cook our boba for approximately one hour, and all of these delicious pearls are enjoyed within four hours of making them. Our Standards enhance the taste and quality of our food and drinks.
