Their pearls are real with caramel taste, not like other places using only starch. Only down side is the store is a little dusty & spider web on their frames.
One of my favorite bubble tea places! The sizing is perfect for me, but is rather small compared to some other places (for the same price). However, the tapioca pearls are very good & of better quality than more popular stores. I've had the tiramisu one, & it was sooo good! All the drinks I've tried so far were really good & not too sweet:)
it's my favorite bubble tea spot in montreal! there are so many boba places in the city but this is hands-down the best. they offer such a wide range of delicious drinks that never fail to impress me. the pearls are chewy just enough & are always consistent (they are always the same size, same consistency & texture. some other places have a lot of trouble with that) the prices are reasonable for the quality you get. not to mention this chain frequently collabs with franchises such as sanrio or jujutsu kaisen to release special limited time drinks! it's very refreshing to have a chain that regularly updates their menu.
The Deerioca Ube with Puff is out-of-this-world delicious! Best bubble tea of my life. The tapioca pearls taste perfectly caramelized, they're freshly cooked & still hot which mixes so well with the cold drink. My bubble tea standards have risen to new heights. How can I go elsewhere now? Thank you The Alley
For starters, i’ve been coming to The Alley for a little over 2 years now & my go-to drinks are the following:
- Classic Milk Tea w/ tapioca pearls
- Passion Fruit Green Tea w/ tapioca pearls + lychee jelly
On September 18th, I arrived at around 9:25pm & waited in a small line, behind 3-4 people to be precise.
I was in the mood to try something new & seeing as there was no one waiting behind me, I decided to ask a few questions regarding the store’s most popular drinks.
The employee was polite & helpful, but most importantly she was very patient when it came to answering all my concerns & gave me some suggestions as well- which I really appreciated.
2-3 minutes went by & I was still feeling conflicted, therefore I decided to just go w/ my usual Classic Milk Tea (as I didn’t want to make the worker wait any more than she already has).
For the tip, I selected the 20% option, since the great customer service I was shown warranted that.
In terms of the drink itself, it took about 5 minutes to prepare & it tasted good (just like how I remembered it), though I did notice there was more tapioca pearls than usual, which is a nice bonus of course!
All in all, I definitely plan on coming back whenever I’m craving a high quality bubble tea drink :)
Bubble tea is AMAZING. Especially love when they have specialty drinks & give always such as the chainsaw man sticker giveaway. The black tea is great. They have dairy free milk substitutions. The atmosphere is nice. The place is popular though so it runs out of seating & pearls on occasion. Keep up the good work!
