    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.

    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.

    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.

    Shaved ice with strawberry, passion fruit and mango!  Amazingly thirst quenching on a hot summer day!

    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.

    Stopped for a quick treat and got the Strawberry Dino Smash...100% sweet for this sweet tooth, 50% ice. Perfectly refreshing and ready in no time!

    Simple mom and pop look inside.

    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.

    Jasmine green tea with boba

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Boba is so good

    Try the mango matcha latte and Dino freeze they are all good ,strawberry milk boba and ube taro and mango coconut those are also good

    Stopped by Tea-Rek'z and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the tea. You can really taste the difference. The tea was refreshing, well-balanced, and not overly sweet. Great service and a nice atmosphere. I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu.

    as a Niles resident... yes!!!!! so happy this place is open & we will be visiting often. we got the tiger milk tea & thai tea with honey boba and the boba was perfect amount of chew and the flavors were on point. Plus they are a branch of the classic Skilletz (next door) that we absolutely love as well. Welcome to the neighborhood Tea-Rekz!

    We came here for breakfast as we were passing through Fremont and I love the Niles area…read more The drinks we were got were good but a little too sweet for me. My boyfriend got the fried chicken steak plate and it was good and a really big portion. I got the spicy chicken melt and it was really good and tasty plus really big portion. We also shared the beignets that come in different flavors and they were fluffy and really good. Altogether a solid breakfast spot.

    It doesn't hurt to smile!…read more Firstly, I'm happy to say that the food and portions are amazing over here. If you want to eat at a place that has good quality and a big enough portion to either share or take home for leftovers then this is the place to go. There were some notable things that we stumbled across in our dining experience. I had noticed that one of the utensils wasn't washed properly so there was a dried up piece of vegetable or something stuck on it. Also I requested my burger to be cooked medium but when I received my order, it was more so well done with no pink in the middle. One of the two pork chop was cooked great, while the other was a little dry and chewy. Regardless, these were things that didn't warrant calling over a server. The thing that mainly put a stain for our restaurant outing at Skillet'z was the service. Upon walking in we were not greeted with a friendly welcoming and when seated they quickly walked away. The lady who took our order did not even look like she wanted to be there, granted I understand that nobody really enjoys having to go to work but if you need to interact with customers, maybe this isn't the occupation for you. While we were eating there was not a single time that anyone came up to us to ask us how we were doing, if we needed anything, or how the food was. There was a moment where it was someone's birthday at another table and I don't think I've ever heard a more unenthusiastic and monotone announcement for a birthday and a lame excuse for a birthday song. They're not going to bother with dropping off a check/bill for the meal so you need to go up to the counter to pay for the food. Once you step up to the counter keep in mind that more than likely you will encounter a rude interaction and a feeling that you were inconveniencing them. Overall I'll more than likely eat from here again, primarily for the food. But maybe next time we'll consider just taking out to go.

    this place was the perfect stop in the middle of my long bike ride yesterday. i had it on my radar…read moreand was going to be near, so donuts for lunch it was! they were sold out of about half of their options around 2pm but had plenty left, and they were still deliciously fresh then by then. i grabbed their last blueberry cream donut (love a filled brioche) and a caprese bun for something salty. and despite being a total coffee snob (i make my own espresso at home and even roast my own coffee beans in my kitchen!) i tried a gibraltar aka a cortado. i'm surprised i got a pic of the the caprese before i inhaled it. they warmed it up for me, and there was a mouth-watering ripe tomato in every bite. little pesto/basil with the crispy cheese. wow. perfectly crunchy and also juicy. delicious the blueberry cream was awesome. the flavor isn't too sweet, nice light fry with a ring on the outside, good gluten development... all markers of a superbly made donut. and the coffee! wow! when a bakery is good at their food options, i don't necessarily expect great coffee, but they carry verve which is a winner, and a crowd pleaser. not too dark, but still solid enough to hold up to a baked good. milk texture was spot on. overall super impressed with this place. friendly service, and they mask (yay). half a star off for no bathroom. i really wanted some soap and water after all the portapotty use of my bike ride :(

    Cute, boutique little donut shop. The donuts here are works of art, beautiful, and almost too…read moremagnificent to eat. They are also really creative with their flavors. However, the taste was a little disappointing. I do like a fluffly, textured donut, however, these are served cold and very sweet. It's just a different donut than the ones I prefer. They had a wide selection of flavors, even on late morning of a weekend. We tried the tiramisu (2/5) donut and the biscoff cream donut (3/5). But both were too sweet for my taste. I can't say that I'd be back, but if you're looking for something unique, I think you'd enjoy this little shop. They also sell croissants, more savory treats, and coffee!

    A Wonderful Step Back in Time…read more The first time I visited this place, my daughter was about 9 years old. Over the years, I have returned quite a few times, and each visit has been a little different because I have intentionally brought different people here to experience that wonderful "back in time" feeling. I recently visited again with another group, and I felt it was definitely worth sharing my experience. If you are new to Tyme for Tea& Co, whether you make a reservation or walk in, I recommend coming with an open mind and, most importantly, with time to enjoy the experience. We had a reservation and still had to wait a few minutes, but honestly, that was perfectly fine. It gave us an opportunity to look around and admire the beautiful tea saucers, teapots, and other cute, whimsical items for sale. Over the years, I have learned that coming here rushed and expecting everything to arrive at once is not really the best way to experience Tyme for Tea. Tea is a social experience, and the food and tea are served gradually, giving you time to enjoy each part of the experience while visiting and laughing with your party. The staff is attentive and welcoming, but they also give you the space to socialize without making you feel rushed. I really appreciate that. If you are visiting Niles in Fremont, keep in mind that part of the beauty of this little town is its history. The buildings are not modern, but that is exactly what gives Niles its charm and character. The atmosphere is part of the experience. Every time I visit, my overall experience is pleasant, calm, and filled with laughter. I enjoy trying the different teas, pastries, and little treats, but more than anything, I enjoy the memories created here with the people I bring along. If you're looking for a place to slow down, socialize, enjoy tea, and step away from the rush of everyday life, Tyme for Tea is definitely worth experiencing. Dress up for fun! Save the yoga pants for another day.

    Probably more of a 3.5, feeling generous to round up. My friend hosted a baby shower at Tyme For…read moreTea and invited 14 guests. I believe the orginal request was for 11 people, they quickly brought in additional chairs to get everyone situated. My understanding was that each guest chooses the tea flavor. However, that wasn't the case. The staff brought 2 random flavors. Later on, I requested a specific flavor and she did bring a pot of it. The pace of the food was good, evenly paced and staggered. My favorites included the savory puffs and the raspberry chocolate cheesecake bites. It was a full house on this particular Saturday afternoon and I think the staff did the best they could. Please note that there's only 1 restroom for the entire place and lines can get long. Ample street parking around the area. #25/2026
