Crema's Take
“Tea Rex trades on a genuinely charming space and bubble tea menu, but the 3.4 rating reflects a real inconsistency problem—early regulars rave about how good things used to be, while recent visitors describe drinks that are merely "okay" and food quality that's hard to pin down (one review couldn't even identify what was on the Korean corn dog). If you're in Lafayette and want a cute spot to linger with friends, the atmosphere might carry you, but don't expect the drinks or food to be the reason you go back.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Cute little place bigger menu than I expected. The Korean dog I had was cheese and sausage ( not sausage it’s a wiener). It was different, good for a small meal. Couldn’t tell there were Cheetos on it. Didn’t give very much sauce, but I didn’t ask for more. Paid a dollar extra…
Ordered the Okinawa Pearl Milk Tea with Boba and the Passion Lychee with Lychee Popping Pearls. Both drinks were okay—not particularly great, but not bad either. However, I loved their decor, and I must mention the exceptional service. We arrived during the last 10 minutes…
