Factory Tea Bar

It's a casual cafe to hangout, study or work. Tried the Mom Nom Milk with Pudding & Boba. Liked it.

Nice place to hangout with friends, lots of boardgames provided. Drinks are a little bit too sweet in general.

I used to visit a Factory Tea Bar location in SoCal when I was in school, so I was pretty excited when they opened in Fremont. The location is perfect for its target demographic. It's tucked inside a shopping plaza, so there's plenty of parking. The space is pretty large, making it perfect to hang out and study. They have a bunch of board games sitting on the shelves too if you need some entertainment. Their drinks tend to be a bit sweeter, so get 1/4 or 1/2 sweet. Get the cajun fries, popcorn chicken, and chicken wings too! The brick toasts are great for dessert.

I ???? FTB, they have a multicultural fusion style and atmosphere‘ while welcoming. The staff always greet me cheerfully with a warm smile!

They have couches with nice long coffee tables suitable for medium sized groups (great for Cards Against Humanity, We Didn't Play Test This At All, Apples to Apples, and similar games).

You will find small tables great for a light chat, or heads down computing; additionally large tables suitable for board gaming.

They play music videos, this can be distracting at times. They also have live performance equipment.

Food is excellent, mostly snacks and light entree's; the Carolina reaper chicken is amazing (though very hot). I've enjoyed a few of their other snacks as well.

Every drink I've gotten has been very good. Beware many are very sweet.

Despite the welcoming environment; I've found it difficult to socialize at FTB, the crowd seems to be mostly cliches of friends. *I do tend to be antisocial; I'd like to change that.

Five stars: I hope to organize a pick-up game of Cosmic Encounters there soon.
