Tapioca Express

It’s your average boba place, nothing too crazy. If you like smoothies they have a lot of options to throw some boba in

Inside Seafood City– Amazing Thai tea! Love them! Every time l go there it’s the best Thai tea, boba is cooked perfectly too! I’m so glad I found this place!

Milk tea is decent. Boba is small size. Located inside seafood city market. Convenient for when you need to go to this grocery store and have craving for some boba.

Great customer service and just love the melon bubble snow. Every time I go to sea food city I must stop and get something lol. It’s a must

I’ve had this before and had to come back. This place is awesome for yummy treats. I got a green apple bubble and some fried extra spicy tofu really good. I highly recommend this place. Very friendly staff too that always makes things better.

Super disappointed with my drink, I came to get honey green tea with boba but it tasted very watered down and had less than a scoop of boba. It wasn’t even busy at the time so I don’t know why this drink tasted like crap.

I really love this convenient location for a Tapioca Express. Come here to get my asian grocery shopping on, maybe get a fresh fish to fry at the seafood area, chill with so Bubble tea, then head back to pay for my groceries. I’d say that’s one of the best way to enjoy a Milk tea drink at this particular tapioca express.
The staff is always friendly and my drinks are always made on time. I don’t have any complaints here and if you arent a fan of the tap ex franchise… heres your chance to start!
I recommend:
Taro Snow Bubble with Lychee Jelly.
Jasmine Milk tea with Boba
Yogurt Frost with combination fruit
or any of the suggested managers specials

This tapex is inside Seafood City. Of all tapex locations for some reason I’m here the most. Maybe because it’s never busy and I’ve never been disappointed with their service. Except for one time when I told one of the employees ‘mild’ for my crispy chicken TWICE and she didn’t listen in the end and on top of that didn’t put tapioca in my drink when I had mentioned it in my order. All the employees are nice. Minus one star for the girl that didn’t pay attention to my order.

What a perfect way to end your grocery shopping at Seafood City – getting a «snow bubble» for a refreshing treat. Bubble tea, Bubble smoothie, whatever you want to call them… I love them boba and I love stopping here for a drink to take home.
They also serve food here, which I think is odd… I think that’s also why it takes a while for orders to be completed. Well, that and the fact that it seems like everyone orders several smoothies per order so expect a wait when you place your order.
My faves:
Coconut with tapioca bubbles.
Almond Milk Tea (iced) with coffee jelly.
Canteloupe with tapioca bubbles.
There are so many different fruit flavors available and I had to laugh at the «secret menu» they posted that listed things like nutella, capn crunch, skittles… all sound way to sweet for me so I’ll stick to my faves. There are also different kinds of add-​ins if you don’t want traditional boba – like grass jelly, mini boba, red bean, rainbow jelly. Makes it for endless drink possibilities!
Great product. Friendly service.

They close at 8pm but stopped making food and drinks at 7:30pm…then why are you open? Good thing there’s one on Palm Ave, 2 exits away!

My kids and I can’t get enough of this place! I love the cantaloupe and honeydew snow bubble. I didn’t like the mango (it’s not fresh, but frozen). On my last visit I tried strawberry coconut and it was soOO GOOD. My kids get crazy flavors like VANILLA COOKIE, CAPN CRUNCH, and RED SKITTLES. I’ve tasted them and they are good too. I prefer the small boba over all the choices they have. My son recently tried the rainbow jelly and it was great! I say don’t try this place cause then you’re gonna be hooked and want to come back all the time (and I don’t believe they’re low calorie or fat)

I love it here, but the other day i passed by before going to work and i ordered a chai tea latte vanilla with extra boba. When i left and i was on the freeway i took a sip from my drink and noticed it didn’t had any boba. I got mad not because I paid more but because i wanted the boba on my drink and i even said extra. Other than that i like it.

This place is INSIDE of Seafood City.
This was the very first place where I had tried Boba and I have been hooked ever since. If you’re a coffee or tea fan who has not yet tried boba, definitely try this place out.
The cashiers are okay, the service is fine. Nothing to rave or rant about here. However the drinks are surely to rave about. I high recommend the coconut milk tea with boba. It is on the sweet side, so if you’re not looking to indulge in some sugary goodness than you might want to try something else. The boba is bomb!

It’s perfect that it’s in sea food city, so I can finally satisfy my boba craving while I do my grocery shopping. Best spot to get boba in Chula Vista :)

This place is located inside of Seafood City.
+Drinks
I live close by which is good whenever I need a quick boba fix. I tend to get the same thing, Almond Milk Tea with boba, Watermelon Juice, or Peach Green Tea with Lychee. I’ve honestly never thought about getting any sort of juice because I usually get the Almond or Peach at every boba shop. But this watermelon juice is something else. The first time I got it, I was expecting a drink with the watermelon flavor, but it is what it is, I suppose.
+Food
The Crispy Chicken Snack is pretty good as well and you never know what you’d get because there was one time where it was mostly the crispy part and not enough of the chicken. Medium spice was the right amount, because I wouldn’t dare to get the plain nor the one above it.
+Service
Pretty good, except they messed up on one of my orders and didn’t realize it until I got home. Also, if you wander around while your order is being made, they just leave it there. Pretty much anyone could just walk up and take it because they don’t check the receipt either. (I hope this doesn’t happen to me)

I’ve had a number of chain bubble tea places, and this is probably one of the better ones I have been to. The selection is great and I dig the customer loyalty program. Depending on who is helping you, you might not get glowing recommendations as the staff didn’t seem to be super familiar with the menu (I asked about two different drinks and they shrugged their shoulders). C’mon people, know your product!
That being said, high quality product. Decent price. Please come to the midwest already!

If it were possible to give this place zero stars, I would do so in a heartbeat.
The staff at this small little TapEx is horrible; there aren’t enough workers per shift, so it takes longer than it should to receive your order. Especially if you’re planning on getting food. If you don’t mind waiting 10+ minutes for a small bag of crispy chicken, then cool, this place will be just fine for you.
They have a horrible habit of messing up simple drinks here too. I ordered a CHAI tea snow bubble (and established with the cashier that it wasn’t supposed to be thai tea) and a fried calamari ring snack, and they gave me a regular thai tea milk tea AND FORGOT MY CALAMARI. It wasn’t busy at the time, so I’m not cutting them any slack.
With that being said, I would suggest going to Plaza Blvd. or even making the drive up to Convoy for your TapEx fix. Don’t go here, I don’t know what their deal is.

Good crispy chicken and they were able to adjust the spiciness just how I liked it :) they have ice cream milk tea so now I don’t have to drive all the way to convoy to get it.
Also, writing this review because the workers there were really nice and I never felt like the order was rushed or anything. They have ube bread now and you get 6 for $ 2.50 and now they have this rewards program where you can buy 15 and get a drink free :)

Not bad of a meal, I was here to order some crispy chicken, not too bad. Last time I was here they gave me corn and steam veggies which was delicious. This time around all they gave me with the chicken was a egg over easy. Reason why for the 3 stars is because I was expecting the veggies and corn again. Also time around they gave me an egg but they never mentioned how I at least wanted the egg. They gave it to me over easy which is not how I like my eggs cooked ever. I usually get my eggs over hard or scrambled.
Also the sauce they had was only ranch and sweet and sour normally isn’t a problem but I wanted ketchup this time. They don’t carry ketchup?! Oh well. Anywho, food isn’t bad, customer service is fast and they were nice. Just different from the last time I ordered here and from the convoy location. Ill still buy from here again because they were quick at the food service.
