Tapioca Express San Gabriel Reviews
Update 01/11/2026 - this is the second time this month that my family and I show up 20 to 30 minutes before closing time and they are closed early. We can clearly see a worker in there but they will not open the door for us. Closing time is stated as 8pm on Saturdays and Sundays and they've been closing at around 7:30pm. I hate that they dont update the closing time if they are now closing earlier please update your hours of operation. This is my go to place for a delicious Strawberry frosti milk. I order it with mini Boba. I dont know of any other place that offers mini Boba. The staff is always super attentive and nice. We go put of our way to come here. It Never disappoints.
Excellent drinks and a good place for a delicious snack. Try their new tofu donuts... pretty good.

They've got a good selection of milk teas and lemonades.
We went here last Sunday and saw that they had combos. Where when you buy a bowl, you get a free drink. It was a good deal. So we bought one noodles and one pork chop bowl. The Pork Chop Bowl rocks, they cut the bones out. But the noodles were cold, I did not like it at all. thats why its a 4 star not 5 stars.
We got two,bob teas and fries. Both were good but they were skimpy on the fries

Good place to go once so you can taste the original. Everyone who works here is super nice and amazing. The tapioca or boba is very fresh and has a nice chew to it. The milk tea is VERY milky and sweat so be prepares for that.

Zero stars if possible, these people just want your money.. Such a rude and unpleasant staff
I ordered 1 drink and 3 snacks but I got my order after 3 guys who ordered 1 meal and drink for each person. What went wrong? You should finished my order first, not only I ordered first, but my orders were snacks, not the full meal.
