Overview
Q. Why Tapioca Express when the customers have other tapioca or milk tea stores to choose from?
A.Trust is the key. They know they can expect to have the same merry experience every time they come to Tapioca Express. Some tell us our drinks have the best taste, some say we are the best value, some say we have the most exquisitely tasting tapioca pearls in the world, and many know that our name has been around the longest so we must be the most authentic.

Products & Services

Tapioca Express was the first in North America to offer a wide
selection of high quality tapioca beverage adhering to a consistently
high professional standard. Since opening its first store in the city
of Alhambra (located in the Greater Los Angeles, California), Tapioca
Express has become synonymous to quality and innovation. While always
apprehensive about consistency and quality, we have been fortunate
enough to have established to date a total of forty six strong stores
in the nation, and plan to make the family of 100 by the end of 2003.
Here at Tapioca Express, we try to stay one step ahead of our competitors by using high quality ingredients, maintaining a top notch team behind the counter, and providing a friendly environment, all in an effort to bring the nation the best Tapioca drinks its taste buds will ever encounter. We offer over 150 different items on the menu, ranging from juice, tea, milk tea, coffee, to our unique snow bubbles, all individually flavored and expertly prepared to quench the thirst and delight the palate.
