"Kenneth Andrews and Hanna Raskin highlighted the closure of Tapio as a significant loss. The place was known for its excellent bubble tea, Taiwanese fried chicken, and diverse offerings, creating lasting memories for its patrons." - Erin Perkins

My favorite drink is the Strawberry matcha with soy milk, tapio boba & mango popings I Highly Recommend! Great Customer service and amazing drinks plus they are very inexpensive. They have warm decoration so it makes you feel at home. They also have some board & card games to play with which is super nice. Bathrooms are very clean and well decorated too. I wish they had better parking because it's a tight space and it's very small but other than that everything else is AMAZING!

Tapio is the first place in Charleston that truly felt authentic Asian. The boba tea is delicious and the food was great. I also think itd z good place to hang out or even study. Def coming back

A fun bubble tea Cafe with lots of options as far as drinks and tapioca. Service was friendly and getting a drink very quick. Only downside is the lack of parking, but in a good location to walk from some place else. Lots of seating inside and I didn't try it, but their food menu had several very interesting and yummy Thai food options. Definitely will be going back.

I had a great time visiting Tapio! The boba tea I had (matcha latte) was very good, and the steamed dumplings and noodle dish that I ordered were absolutely delicious. The service was also very friendly, and the building itself has a relaxing and comfortable atmosphere. Would completely recommend!

Tapio has some of the best bubble tea in Charleston. The shop is cute and clean, the staff is friendly and the tea is great. There are tons of options to make anyone happy. Next time, I'm going to try a bite to go with my tea.

Went here while I was on a short vacation on my way to the beach! I was looking up the closest bubble tea locations near my hotel and Tapio popped up. Glad it did, because my blended tai tea with tapioca petals was so delicious. You miss the place when driving to find so look carefully. Parking is also limited because its located downtown.

I've been craving boba tea for a few days now and when I found out we had a boba tea place in Charleston, I kept asking my husband if we could try it out. We finally had some time today to head downtown to Tapio and the sweet girls who work here made my day! Super helpful staff to give flavor suggestion and explain boba a bit more to my husband; I got the strawberry matcha and he got the blended Vietnamese coffee. We also got the dumplings (pan fried) and the steamed buns (one tofu, one chicken). We will definitely be back soon!

Great boba place!!! So many options, and you can customize the sweetness of your drinks. The staff is SUPER friendly as well! They also use dairy alternatives in most of the drinks.
