Overall, reviews describe a welcoming vibe at The Alley with a pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff, and many call it one of the best bubble tea spots in Montreal. The menu is noted for freshness and variety, with standout options like the orange lulu and the alley trio milk tea, while some drinks get criticized for being overly sweet even at half sugar. Customers often mention the staff as amazing and helpful, and birthday freebies are appreciated. Dessert like drinks are popular, and the tiramisu crunch is a common favorite, with tips to mix well before drinking. A few reviews mention a downgrade in quality recently, occasional wrong orders or off flavors (matcha aftertaste, jasmine tea burnt), and tapioca that is sometimes undercooked. Health concerns are reported by a minority who experienced illness after visits. Non-dairy options are limited to cow and soy milk, with oat milk not available. Overall, the place is described as cute and pleasant with good boba and a solid all around experience, though some reviews note inconsistency and occasional quality dips.

Used to be my go to, sadly the menu has changed (rip snow velvet - the foam is no longer proper cheese foam & peach hojicha tea is gone) & the service has been subpar. Ice when i ask for none, toppings wrong ... Oh well

The crunchy boba was delicious! I recommend for sure. Not a ton of seating but definitely worth having.

One of my fav! But most of the time there's no more tapioca & to me a bubble tea without tapioca is not a bubble tea

Service can be slow but you can see how fresh everything is prepared. I love the brown sugat taro... the flavor is layered & rich, not too sweet.

Their boba tea is SO yummy! You can tell the quality is really good & all of their flavors are so tasty! The staff were also very kind & helpful :) I got the taro tea & loved it!

Happy that an Alley location exists in Montreal. Would love if there was more locations of this superior bubble tea chain in the city.

I am a big fan of the Alley's bubble teas in general, but this time around I stopped by to get the JJK collaboration smoothies, & they were really good :)

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
