Tapioca Express

Service was amazing. The cash register was super welcoming. I loved how patient she was and the amount of respect and manners she had. I have never seen a worker/staff member like her before. She made the experience so much better. If you’re looking to get boba COME TO THIS PLACE!!!! Best place EVER plus it had REALLY good boba! 💗

Visited the newly opened Tapioca Express in Herndon today. Enjoyed their boba and was surprised they had so many snack options!! Favorites were the shrimp tempura with sweet chili sauce and the fried string beans. They didn’t seem very fried which is good in my book. Nicely seasoned too. Their crispy chicken was also good we were able to choose the spice level and I went with medium which was perfect. The chichi fries were great… love the chichi sauce that comes with it! As for drinks I loved the Mangonada. It was so beautiful and delicious for how hot and humid it was outside. Also enjoyed the honeydew snow bubble and combination yogurt frost which tasted similar to a Greek yogurt parfait with fruit. The staff was very friendly, the space is cute but small more of a to-go and enjoy outside type of place. They do however have a high top table if you’re able to snag it! Definitely coming back to try more of their menu soon!

I love coming to this place! I get the caramel milk tea every time. It’s a really cute spot in town.

We usually get their spicy crispy popcorn chicken and it always made fresh to order. As well as their boba milk teas are made fresh to order. I like their molasses latte with coffee jelly & panda boba and whole milk. Their Okinawa milk tea with panda boba is also good with mild tea flavor. You do have to wait about 5-10 minutes for your order depending on how busy they are and how much food and drinks you order. Overall friendly service!!

First off, this review is about the drinks, not the service nor the employee. Actually, my hats off to the employee for providing good service in a such a cramped space. It is incredibly hard to imagine how all the food snack items can be created in such a small space and the smell of oil permeates the air. Most food items are fried so it's nothing a small restaurant grade microwave, air fryer, and oven cannot take care of. Now the drink menu is expansive for such a small footprint. But sadly the boba..... was devastatingly tasteless and not even round like a sphere. The shape of the boba looked like droppings of a thick substance in the drink and in the mouth (poor description for overcooked boba I guess). As for the drink, while it seems freshly brewed, the boba ruined the drink TBH. There isn't another bubbletea shop for another couple miles so I can't complain that much since every town deserves to host as many bubbletea cafes as coffee shops.

Nestled in the Town of Herndon this is a great spot to meet friends for boba (bubble tea) and snacks. My family Loves this place!

Personally I really love their Oreo snow bubble. It’s really nice for a cold day! The staff is truly amazing and so nice! Their food is so good. I love coming here because they are really fast and amazing!

It is a nice and clean store, with polite cashiers. Their beverages taste good, but around 1$ more than other similar stores. Their top-up and options are very good as well. Few things: 1- Parking is limited, you need to park a bit farther away from the store. 2- No restroom is available. 3- Hours are limited, especially during the work days, seems this store is a 2nd line of business for the owners. Opens from 4 pm till 9 pm, but more on weekends. 4- The taste of their beverages is tricky, depending on your taste and preferences, a few people may not like what they obtained. So I recommend starting with the smallest cup to see if you like your order or not. Thus, if you don't like the taste of what you ordered, at least you didn't pay extra for a larger cup. 5- very limited area to sit, with almost zero tables or chairs, it is a to-go store.
