If you're not familiar with the stuff, it can be pretty nasty, but Tapioca Drinks, also known as Bubble Teas, can pretty fun and tasty. I recently discovered that Tapioca Express had made it this far up north during one of my I'm-trying-to-find-Costco-but-have-such-poor-navigation-skills-that-I-get-lost-going-anywhere-on-my-own trips. Their bubble teas have great flavor. I personally like to get either the milk tea or lychee icy/whatever they call it. Tapioca, for those of you who haven't had it are these little black, somewhat squishy balls that they pop on the bottom of your drink. Pretty fun to drink, and if you're bored, you can shoot it out of your straw and see what it sticks to. But being a good citizen, make sure to clean up the mess afterwards.

A fairly new bubble tea cafe in Edmonds, near Ranch 99, Tapioca Express has the best tapioca (bubbles, pearls, boba) I have ever tried. You can choose between the regular large size tapiocas or mini-tapiocas. For some reason, the two sizes taste totally different. The large size tastes about the same as any other bubble tea place. But the mini tapiocas -- yum! Multiple flavors available, including some harder to find ones, like sesame. Mostly meant for carry out.
