The Alley

Finally made it into this place, and had an awesome experience. There is a garage to park in, and they do validate your parking. There was lots of seating and the decor was very nice, lots of plants! I tried one of the drinks from the top 5 menu, and choose the Ube Brown Sugar Boba Crème Brûlée with half the sweetness. It was still sweet, but just the right amount! Really awesome and delicious! They also offer food and I decided to try the mozzarella sticks. INCREDIBLE! You get 7 in an order, and they come topped with Parmesan cheese and a side of marinara. So delicious and a great deal too. While I was there, I ordered another drink to go for a friend, and then realized while I was driving back to work that I had forgot to pick it up! I called The Alley and they answered quickly and said they would add a drink to my account for next time. I highly recommend this spot!

I come here ocasionally for drinks. The vibes are chill and we always have a good time. My go to drink is usally the purple rice yogurt smoothie but this last time I decided to give the creme brulee drink a try. The crème brulee drink was delicious and I think my new favorite.I also ordered an iced biscoff latte and this was a hard pass. It is way to strong and not what I was expecting. The cheesecake is a must try!! Its very creamy and perfectly sweet.Customer service is a hit or miss. I have encountered friendly employees and rude ones as well.

For the longest time, I've always wanted to pay a visit to The Alley, and honestly, it was so worth it. If you're a fan of high-quality tea and creative drinks, The Alley is an absolute gem. The Alley ranks as one of my top bubble tea stores across the nation. The drinks are not only delicious, but they really stand out because of their high-quality tea and innovative ingredients. Whether you're into classic milk teas or more adventurous options like their fruity drinks, they have something for everyone.I particularly love the variety of options they offer, and I appreciate how customizable each drink is. The flavors are distinct and fresh, and they know how to balance sweetness and richness without it feeling too overpowering. That being said, I highly recommend going with minimal sugar. Some of their drinks, if you opt for regular sugar, can easily hit 500-1000 calories, which is a lot if you're not careful. Even when I got the 1/2 sugar option, I still thought my drink was a tad bit too sweet.The vibe of the place is also great, with a modern, welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for enjoying a drink or hanging out with friends. It is a bright and young atmosphere, and on the day that I went, they had some cute anime decorations both on the cups and stickers. The staff is friendly, and they always take the time to make sure your order is just right.All in all, The Alley is a must-visit for anyone who loves a great cup of tea or creative, delicious drinks. Just be mindful of the sugar levels if you're watching your calories.

First time trying the alley boba and first of tea flavors are notably good, boba was also chewy. Service was also good, neither outstanding nor disappointing. If you're seeking solid tea options, it's worth a visit! Note: loved the parking garage save you the hassle of looking for parking around the area.

My Sea Salt Pineapple Tea was quite refreshing! It wasn't too sweet and the amount of ice was just right. If you're driving here there is free parking in the garage, entrance is left (west) of The Alley. There's free WiFi, public restrooms, and merch for purchase. Prices are little more than the place down the street, but the service and atmosphere here is much nicer.Great service, boba, and atmosphere! This place is right up my Alley!

The family was craving some boba when we arrived to Scottsdale and decided to stop here as it was the closest location on the map to where we were. It's very close to ASU and a bit hard to find - it's in a newly developed complex and my map took me to the parking lot, so I had to drive around to the front where the shop is. No parking in front of the shop so hubby dropped me off and he parked across the street in the lot to wait for me.The shop is very trendy and airy. Love the deer decor of this place. Plentiful seating and lots of cute merch for sale. They have a lot of the typical boba drinks as well as some creative spins on others.I went to the kiosk to order and got the Jasmine Green Tea with Lychee Jelly, the Ube Taro Smoothie with boba, and the Brown Sugar Deerioca Creme Brulee Milk (with oat milk). I ordered all of these less sweet and it was perfect, although the green tea probably could've stayed at regular sweetness as it was quite strong. I had to pick up the ube taro smoothie, because I love ube and taro and to have them both in one drink was magical! The Deerioca Creme Brulee was so good as well! There was a pudding/creme brulee mixed into the drink and it was fun to slurp up.The only improvements I could suggest is to have fresher boba (ours were kind of hard) and to speed up their service. We were the only people they were making drinks for and we waited over 10 minutes for our drinks.

Craving some boba? This place is right up your alley! Located near the ASU campus. Parking can be tricky during the busy school year however it was summer break so it was t as crowded. If you're entering on 6th street, there is a parking garage on the left right at the corner of the boba place. Limited spacing for residents and shopping spots. We were able to find a spot easily. The boba shop itself was cute and inviting. The staff were kind and allowed us to look at the menu before ordering. I got the matcha purple rice yogurt with green tea jelly. Wow! My first time trying out green tea jelly. It was definitely a hit. The matcha itself was tasty and tasted legit. The first sip was a lot of jelly at first but once you work at it, the purple rice and smoothie come through. I enjoyed it. All the drinks seem to be one size only. You're able to adjust the sugar and ice levels. I got a sip of my husband's sea salt pineapple tea and that was also good! I'd be back again! Thank you!

I was looking for a nice cafe where I could get some work done and found this place!The service and the drinks are excellent. I went super-simple and ordered an Assam tea with lychee jelly. But there are is a good selection of other drinks (and snacks) on the menu as well. I really appreciated that the interior was inviting to sit and enjoy my drink (and do work). I easily found a table that had an outlet for me to use. There was free wi-fi too.Parking - I parked in the lot adjacent to the cafe.

The Alley is one of the better boba places in the valley. One of their top 5 drinks is the ube brown sugar deerioca creme brûlée. The name itself is a mouthful but it's my favorite! I was hesitant of the drink being too sweet but it depends on who makes it. The boba texture consistency is fantastic - bouncy and chewy. The creme brûlée is reminiscent of egg pudding which is creamy and soft. I love the ube flavor too! My fiancé ordered the matcha purple rice yogurt drink. I liked the matcha and little jellies, but I wasn't a fan of how tart the yogurt tasted. The purple rice was very unique but I don't prefer it. This place is bright and clean. They even have custom tumblers which are really cute. The Alley also offers snacks like popcorn chicken, fries, and pastries. I have yet to try but it looks pretty good.I'll be back for the ube brown sugar creme brûlée drink! Highly recommend that one.

Cute spot! Perfect location by the ASU campus and our hotel. Love taro so asked the barista what she recommends and this was it! I even asked if I could taste the taro and she said yes. This was spot on! Highly recommend this drink and this place.
