What is tapioca?

Tapioca pearls are chewy balls made from cassava root and are most commonly used in boba tea. At First Round Boba & Crepes, tapioca is cooked fresh and added to milk teas, fruit teas, and specialty drinks for texture and flavor. Tapioca is naturally gluten-free, but it is typically served inside drinks that may contain dairy or other ingredients.

Do you offer gluten-free crepes?

At this time, First Round does not offer gluten-free crepes. Our crepes are made using traditional Japanese-style crepe batter that contains wheat flour. If you have dietary restrictions or allergies, feel free to ask our team for ingredient information before ordering.
