    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.

    Boba is so good

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Asked for 25% sugar and was 100% sweet like other places. Not sure what happened or if this place is normally 200% sweet

No, BUT that is mainly because I personally do not like creamy drinks and I believe what makes this shop unique are their cloudy creamy creations.

    I love Sunright Tea Studio! The fact that this is close by whenever I visit my family is awesome. I…read morefirst tried the Sunnyvale location, and it has easily become one of my top boba spots. I have tried various drinks, and they have all been consistently good each time. I usually visited Sunright once a week because of how conveniently close and consistently good it has been. I love mango, so I have tried most of their mango drinks! My go-to is the Mango Milk Tea at 0% sweetness with fresh milk and honey boba. Even at 0%, there is the light sweetness from the mango. This drink is definitely on the milkier side and tastes more like mango milk. The boba has been consistently soft chewy every time. The Mango Jasmine Tea at 0% sweetness is great for whenever I'm craving a fruit tea. Even at 0% sweetness, there is a light sweetness from the mango. The mango juice is also well blended in, so there aren't any chunks of mango if you aren't really into texture in your drinks. The Mango Frostie at 0% sweetness was also lightly sweet because of the dried mango. Keep in mind that it will be more liquid rather than slushy if you reduce the sweetness level. The Mango Yakult at 0% sweetness is also lightly sweet from the yakult; however, this drink separates between the mango juice and yakult. I've tried the Sunright Boba Milk Tea at 0% sweetness. The brown sugar boba is soft chewy and coated in the delicious brown sugar boba. Once I mixed the boba and drink around, the drink tasted more like 25% sweetness which was perfect for me. The shop itself is small with no seating, so everyone is coming in and out for their boba runs. It's located in a plaza, so there is plenty of parking whenever I visit on the weekends. Usually, I order through the toast app and pick up the drink at the counter, so I haven't interacted with the staff much, but the drinks were always great quality! I would always stop by whenever I'm visiting family and we are doing a boba run! :)

It was decent - probably around a 3.5/5 for me. The tea flavor was there, but nothing super memorable. My cousin got the jasmine milk tea, and we both agreed it was about the same, mid at best, not anything that really stands out compared to other boba spots. One thing to note is that they only have self-order kiosks, so there's not much interaction with staff. It makes ordering quick and straightforward for those who prefer that. Overall, a good spot if you're in the area and especially fun if you catch a promo like free boba day, but the drinks themselves are just average. The store is cute though!
