Tea Break

This place is awesome! Its not like Quickly’s because quickly’s quality has gone down the drain. Washington gives this business a fair amount of customers and then Fortune also fairs from it. I love the XFAT Jung jur naicha with lychee jelly. For people who donmt speak chinese drinks, Naicha is milk tea, jung jur is pearl or under American terms, boba. I STILL HATE THAT WORD BOBA BECAUSE BOBA ISN’T A NOUN. But overall its a good hangout spot too.

Ready to discover a new boba spot, I quickly searched on Unilocal and found a hot new business close by to where we already were. My sweet, sweet hubby patiently agreed to take me there, albeit in utter disbelief that I still had room in my stomach for boba after our gigantic lunch.
At first, he ALMOST missed the entry to the parking lot, but he stopped just in the nick of time! The lot itself is small since the only building in the area seemed to be some offices and then Tea Break itself. Walking in, we were pleased with the clean and colorful look, but the place definitely exuded a sense of «naïveté.» There were two separate cash registers, one for food and the other for drinks. While we didn’t order any food, my hubby was intrigued by the number of choices they had and how cheap they were.
Of course, we were there for the boba, but to our disappointment Tea Break wasn’t like our usual boba places that serve authentic teas, like oolong and earl grey. It was more like a Quickly’s or Tap-​Ex which honestly made me sad. But keeping an open mind, I decided to get the almond green milk tea with egg pudding and my hubby chose the honeydew green milk tea with egg pudding. The drinks come in three different sizes: Tall, Fat, and X Fat. (I personally prefer the word «chubby» cups, but that’s just me).
For two drinks at the Tall size, the total came out to exactly $ 6. SO CHEAP! Pleased with such a steal, we popped the lid of our drinks, took our first big sip, and…
SIGH. No good. The taste wasn’t horrible per-​say, but there was something about it that tasted completely artificial. Both of our drinks barely had an tea flavor and the egg pudding was strangely grainy. Eventually, the powder of my drink started to separate from the tea itself which made it undrinkable. As for my hubby’s boba, the honeydew flavor was way too strong. He ended up tossing his drink too.
Unfortunately, our quest to find super, delicious boba places faltered when it came to Tea Break. Even the super cheap prices couldn’t save the powdery taste. Oh well, onto the next!

Syrup alert! I came here because I was close and wanted boba, and I came in, asked for Thai tea without sugar, and the cashier told me they can’t. I then asked for black milk tea, and I forgot to ask for no sugar until he started making it. I asked for no sugar, and then he said he couldn’t do it, and someone else behind the counter said that the flavor comes with sugar already and if I don’t want sugar, it’s just plain milk tea. I said I’d be fine with plain milk tea, but the guy already made my drink for me. So, I just took it. It sort of reminded me of coffee, and there’s this roasted flavor. I’m not entirely sure what it is, but it didn’t taste like tea. I took it home and added my own tea to it as an attempt to make it less sweet and have more tea taste. No good!

I rarely give reviews but when I do that means very bad or excellent! In this case its EXCELLENT!!! There are 4 tapioca closer to my place but I would drive all the way here just to get my jasmine tea C1!!! It taste like no other!!! If u havent tried it ur missing out! They’re open on the weekends now! Yay!!!

I was working a block away from this place and decided to give it a try. Asked if the taro tea is made with fresh taro or from powder, and sadly, they make it from powder so that was sad for me :(
Looking at their toppings, they seem to have a lot of options, from grass jelly to pudding of various Flavors. I don’t usually like anything beyond boba in my tea, but it’s good to see they have options!
I ended up ordering the jasmin green tea with a hint of sweet, and I liked it! Strong tea, great flavor and sweetened just the way I liked. Their boba is nice and chewy. They have happy hour at 30% off their drinks after 3pm. I would definitely come back for that!

I had the regular milk tea with boba & I LOVED it! They are very generous with their boba (unlike other milk tea places) & the customer service was great. I am definitely coming back & Would recommend coming here!!!

Though it just opened, definitely my new #1 go to milk tea place in Fremont. My personal favorite is the Lychee Milk Tea. The honey milk tea is also good. Super delicious and not too sweet. They are fast, friendly, and amazing. A must try!

I decided to try tea break a few days ago. I ended up ordering the regular milk tea with boba and it was very good. The tea had a good flavor and they gave a good amount of it for a low price. They currently have a deal for 30% off so I ended up not spending very much. Surprisingly, they have a happy hour and I only spent $ 2. I’ll be coming back to try their other flavors of milk tea.

It seems that Fortune Cookie split half of their location with this new milk tea shop!
Having used to live on the south side of Fremont, I drink a lot of milk tea, so when I saw this shop opened I had to try it. I’ve been here a few times with my boyfriend already and have ordered a few things off the menu.
Though the taro milk tea is my regular drink, the smoothies are really refreshing! Either the banana smoothie or taro smoothie are my go-​to here.
Most milk tea shops offer desserts or pastries, but they only serve drinks here. I believe that this location is also cash only, so be prepared if you’re going to make a visit.
Overall, I would recommend this shop to my fellow milk tea enthusiasts. The quality of the drinks certainly makes this place worth trying.

This new milk tea shop opened up right across the street from Washington High School! It is in a great location and they split the space with Fortune Cookie, a popular Chinese takeout restaurant in the area.
Word of caution, Tea Break takes cash only however the quality of the drinks are well worth it. They have a variety of toppings from boba, lychee, jellies, and puddings.
I tend to order some Chinese takeout and get some milk tea as a dessert drink. I usually order Taro Milk Tea; it is some fuego.
