Tea-Rek'z - Pea lemonade - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fremont, California

I have had a lot of Boba drinks here and in Taiwan. This is one of the best with fresh flavors ( not syrups) and fresh Boba. A great drink read more

Increasingly a local community staple and I'm starting to see why. All of the nice community-made decorations and social event stuff they put around is a nice touch. I understand that it's also run by the same people who run Skilletz, so in theory I guess you can actually eat inside there and order the tea to be sent to you. I haven't tried this yet, though I likely will one day. There's a profound irony I find that tons of Asian-American social media posts will reference liking cakes that are "not too sweet", yet the majority of boba places will serve pure sugar drinks that make Starbucks 1200 monstrosities look restrained - and it's a boba place in Niles (one of the oldest parts of towns with the most retirees) that has managed to perfect not-too-sweet boba. Anyways, you can get all of the random teas here at 10% sweet or 25% sweet - and 10% sweet is honestly a perfect level of sweetness for tea with a slight cloying of sugar but not overwhelming. I'd strongly recommend this place to anyone who likes boba tea that isn't too sweet! Also, for anyone on a diet, they also offer non-sugar sweeteners on all of their drinks as an alternative. Once again, a huge draw! So I'd also recommend this to anyone who both likes boba tea and is trying to watch their calorie intake or something. I'm honestly not in Niles all that often, but I make sure to stop by this place every time I do! read more

Super cute! My boyfriend goes here often so when I was able to visit NorCal, I wanted to stop by, especially since I love dinosaurs and this is a dino themed boba place. It's small, but you can tell it's a staple of the Niles community. They have car meets (I believe) since there's a decent sized parking lot to the side. There's some seating inside and an equal amount of seating outside too. You order through the kiosk. Super efficient and you can very heavily customize your drink order too. Makes sense for the insane level of customization (milk options, creamer options, toppings, ice and sweetness levels). Not a lot of places let you adjust the sweetness down to 10%. It's usually 25% or 0%. So this is really nice! I got their peach lychee magnolia infused green tea at 10% sweet and less ice. Perfect not too sweet level so that I can taste the other flavors. I like the fruity flavors with the subtle floral taste and the tea. Refreshing and great even a couple days later (I left it sealed in the fridge for the road trip down). I also got one of their cute silly T-rex plushie keychains too and they have a little post it note wall where you can leave a little message or drawing. read more

Saw this place while strolling around at a car show and decided to give it a try. Ordering was easy since they had a kiosk set up right in front. We ordered: * Tiger tea with honey boba * Mango tea with mango jelly Both drinks were decent, but we've definitely had better. The mango tea was refreshing and probably the better of the two. The tiger tea was just ok and didn't really stand out. Unfortunately, the boba was also a bit hard which was a little disappointing. Overall, not bad if you're in the area and want something quick, but probably not a place we'd specifically go out of our way for. read more

Skilletz apparently has its own boba shop called Tea-Rek'z. I see many people in line for Skilletz but not its boba shop and kinda expect it to be long here too when it isn't. It may have recently opened because it didn't exist when I went to Skilletz for the first time. The place is very tiny though with all paper notes on the walls with all of the merch and other products stocked on the shelves that they sell. This includes ramen but you may have to ask the staff for hot water. There are only two tables though due to the size of the shop. I decided to get one of their favorite milk tea, which is the Tiger Milk Tea without boba because of course, a single small boba can actually take up more calories and I didn't want to consume a lot throughout the day. Honestly, the boba tastes good. It's as good as the breakfast I had from Skilletz except that it's boba. Not really a bad boba shop, but honestly, it would have been better if there's a way for them to extend the size of the shop if more customers choose to dine-in. Other than that, it's a good place to stop by especially when you go next door to get boba after dining at Skilletz to support them more. read more

Tea-Rek'z - Shaved ice with strawberry, passion fruit and mango! Amazingly thirst quenching on a hot summer day! - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fremont, California

I was in Niles and was in the mood to get some boba. Luckily, there was Tea-Rek'z not far from where I was, so I decided to stop by. Upon entering, it is a fairly small boba shop with some seating available both inside and outside of the shop. The menu is pretty straightforward; there are no snacks that you can order off the menu like other boba shops, but that is okay. The young man who took my order was super nice.. he gave me time to look over the menu when I entered and made my drinks in a timely manner. I ordered two drinks: Ube Taro Milk and Creme Brulee Tiger Milk (with boba). I don't have any complaints about the Ube Taro Milk however the Creme Brulee Tiger Milk it was super sweet like syrup. I think it may have came from the boba because once the boba was gone and only the milk was left it wasnt super sweet anymore. My one suggestion is to make sure that the boba isn't super sweet, perhaps just tone it down a bit. Other than that, the drinks were really good :) On a different note, they have free stickers and also sell T-Rex keychains here on top of the other goodies that they sell such as bottled drinks and chips. They also offer mobile ordering/ scan to order which is pretty convenient! I will definitely be stopping by here the next time I am in Niles read more

Was visiting downtown Niles and spotted this new boba/cafe spot by skilletz's. It's a cute small walk in location and literally right next to skilletz. They offer boba teas, coffee, hot appetizers and some merch. After looking at the menu we decided one two drinks. We ordered their Dino freeze passion fruit and mango drink with lychee and it was very good. However, their piña colada was not good at all, not sure if the coconut milk went bad or what but it tasted weird. We asked our drink maker if we could replace it with another drink and he gladly did. The drink we replaced it with was cheaper than the piña colada so it wasn't a big deal to swap it. While he was remaking our drink whoever that man was that came to check on why it was being remade looked annoyed and was asking the guy making our drink why we didn't like the piña colada. I explained the coconut milk tasted weird like it might have gone bad or expired or something. That was awkward and he didn't looked like he cared for my input at all but either way at the end we left with 2 good drinks. + I did appreciate that young man that remade our drink, he didn't hesitate and gave good customer service. Side note: They do have a signup that states if you're not happy with your drink they will remake it. read more

A new boba shop just opened next to Skillet'z Cafe in Fremont Niles! I noticed they had freshly brewed teaspresso, so I decided to take the risk of not sleeping tonight and ordered a Peach Oolong Tea. (It's only 1 PM, so hopefully I'll be fine ). The entire menu is in English only, so I assumed it catered to American taste buds. I ordered mine with 25% sugar--and to my surprise, it really wasn't sweet! Perfect for someone like me who finds even Spindrift sweet. The tea flavor was rich and fragrant, exactly what you'd expect from a real teaspresso brew. The interior is very simple, kind of a mom-and-pop vibe. They can even remake your drink if you're not happy with it--feels like the boba version of Philz Coffee! The only downside is the space--it's pretty small, so if it gets busy, you'll probably have to sit outside. Also, the sign isn't very visible from the street; you wouldn't realize it's a boba shop until you walk right up to it. read more

Happened to stumble across Tea-Rekz by Skilletz on our way to get coffee. I believe they are still doing their soft opening with special prices. My fiance got a latte across the street and I was able to get a milk tea here. Win-win lol. It's a small location, so it's more of a grab and go spot. There was some seating in front of the windows outside. I used the self-serve kiosk out front, although it was kinda hard to see with the sun glaring. I ordered an assam black milk tea 75% sweet, no boba. When my drink was ready, it was brought out to me. I thought it was good. I'd come back to try other drinks. Nice to see a boba option in this neighborhood. read more

Whoa, new boba shop in Fremont Niles! I happened to stop by on my walk to the farmers market and the shop is right next to Skilletz, which makes sense since theyre a partner business. You almost miss it with how much it blends together and the line outside skilletz is usually out the door. I got a Matcha Milk Tea and was actually surprised with the quality of the matcha, still earthy and not watered down or grainy! Looks like they only have milk and fruit teas so far but everything is pretty customizable, you can choose toppings, sweetness level, ice level, and milk/creamer options. All pretty standard practice. It's only their soft opening still but so far so good! I'd definitely want to stop by to try their other drinks next time. read more

I've been eyeing this spot for a while now since I like to go to the farmers market and be in the Nile's area. It's owned by Skilletz so I was curious about the taste and quality. It has kiosks for customers to self-place orders and the wait time was less than 10 minutes. My sister and I got two drinks, mine was the jasmine green milk tea. The boba was good but the milk tea felt a little disappointing. I felt it was a little bit milked down so I couldn't really get the full flavor. My sister got a matcha latte with mango puree which she described the puree as some of the best she ever had. Overall though, it's a small space but there is some seating. The wall is covered with post its with art and I think that adds a nice touch to the space. The staff were also friendly. I will give this place another try in the future. read more

Tea-Rek'z - Boba is so good - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fremont, California

Great customer service! I asked whether the drinks had high fructose corn syrup. The barista wasn't sure, but immediately texted the owner to check. No high fructose corn syrup, and they have different sweetener options! Not all boba places are transparent about their ingredients, so I appreciated the attention to detail. I also asked if they could do a passion fruit rooibos tea (instead of green tea), and they were happy to accommodate. Cute place, and a very convenient stop after a meal at Skilletz. read more

Tea-Rek'z - Bubble Tea Near Me - Fremont, California

First time trying this place. I understand if staff is new they may need more training on how to make a drink, though I ordered a crème brûlée Vietnamese coffee and the staff member "put the brûlée inside" the drink. So, there was nothing on top (just looked like an iced coffee). Whatever was inside had dissolved, so no satisfying brûlée crunch top :( We had already waited 20min for 2 drinks and we had an infant with us so I didn't have time to ask to get it remade. Also the cup was messy/dripping on the outside when it was served. Our drinks did taste good but for $20 it would have been nice to receive what was pictured on the menu. Rating 4 stars because I think they deserve another chance but my experience was more like 3 stars. read more

I was hoping to like this spot, but drinks are too sweet even if you choose a low percentage for sweetness. Tea doesn't taste fresh. It just tastes like syrup. read more

Staff was friendly and drinks tasted great! The interior was really cool and enjoyed my experience overall.

I'm thrilled that we finally have a good boba spot in Niles! Tea-Rek has quickly become our new family favorite, and for good reason. What impressed me most was how customizable everything is - being able to adjust the sweetness level is super helpful since I usually find most boba places way too sweet. I can get exactly the sweetness I want, and it makes such a difference in enjoying the actual tea flavors. The toppings here are adorable and so well done! The mango star is super cool and adds such a fun visual element to the drinks. You can tell they put real care into making everything look as good as it tastes. The quality of the boba pearls themselves is excellent too - perfect texture every time. My son has been asking for us to go back since our last visit, which tells you everything you need about how good this place is! It's not easy to impress a kid, but Tea-Rek definitely delivered. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is welcoming for families. It's so nice to have a local spot we can walk to for a treat. Definitely adding Tea-Rek to our regular rotation. Will be back soon to try more flavors! Niles needed this place and I'm so glad they opened here. read more
