The Alley Boba Tea - Elk Grove

Came back to try their collab with My Hero Academia! It came with such a cute drink holder. The drink itself was good, just a bit too much cheese cream for me on the top. Excellent service, the person helping us was super friendly and asked if we had any questions.

Zero stars earned for service, 2 Stars for the other drinks we got. Let me preface that I am Vietnamese myself and I know Vietnamese humor. I don't know if this was the manager or owner or just an employee but she seemed in charge the night we came in. 100% Vietnamese Auntie. We came in here and ordered 7 drinks, it wasn't close to closing, not super busy (everyone sitting already had their drinks). My friend received his drink (a Milk Tea) and it tasted syrupy and fruity (almost like they used the same mixing cup as the other fruity drinks we got). We told him to go ask if they could make him another drink because it was terrible and boba in this economy costs an arm and a leg. This lady in charge re-makes the drink but gives us the snarkiest comment "I'll do this once, but next time no more, and don't come back". This was our first and only request, we would have accepted it if she said no. I don't know if this was supposed to come out as a Vietnamese Auntie joke but it didn't get received as a joke.I've never seen such customer service, we don't believe the customer is always right. My friend is the sweetest person and asked so politely for a redo, the manager could have said no and then we would have been like "okay" but instead she remade the drink but was giving attitude too.By the way, they also have like a 10 year old behind the counter helping out and she was the most respectful and kind "employee". Somehow a child has better customer service skills than a grown woman

I don't know to feel about their limited edition drinks being close to $10. It's a matcha & peach drink which is such a good pairing, but there was nothing that "wow"ed me about it. I frequent this location and the staff is great. I just wished that the worker told me how much it was since their advertisement on the monitor didn't label the price.

Very cute and clean interior. Cafe style with plenty of seating for studying or hanging. Your order is taken using the touch screen & then a receipt prints which is handed to the boba tech. Now I drove a solid 30 mins to try Alley simply because they have the yogurt with purple rice drink and I must say it's very good. Rather then add boba, my go-to is grass jelly but Alley's grass jelly was not good at all. I would have scooped it all out if possible.

Tried this boba spot for the first time out in Honolulu Hawaii and got super excited when it opened up near us in Elk Grove. Anything ube/taro flavored is my favorite and this Ube Taro drink is one of the top drinks for a reason, good flavor, there's also crème brûlée bits that add a pleasant texture and taste to the super soft gooey delicious brown sugar boba. It might be on the sweeter end for some people, but you can lessen the sweetness if preferred. Also comes with milk substitutes.Cute clean little shop, to chill , chit chat, even be productive & study.

We went there for the My hero academia drinks. TheDeku's White Peach Matcha was good but we didn't really get any of the peach flavor. The Uravity's Berry Yogurt trappe was good and unique. The drinks are definitely a little on the pricey side. Each drink was almost $10 each. We also went the first day they released the drinks so they did not have any of the my hero academia packaging or cards.

The Alley is hands-down my go-to boba spot!Whenever a boba craving hits, this place never disappoints.After trying a few other places around, The Alley stands out as my favorite. My usual pick is the Jasmine Green Tea with Lychee Jelly--super refreshing and hits the spot every time!The shop itself is adorable and always clean, and the service is so friendly that it makes the experience even better.Heads up, though: parking can be a bit tricky around the busy lunch or dinner rush, but it's definitely worth the effort. Highly recommend!

On Halloween instead of trick or treating. I went on a foodie tour in elk grove. Since I was in a mood for a new spot I haven't been to, I choose here. .The inside is nice and bright with lots of seating with outlets. As well the seats were comfy. .I ordered a plain jasmine milk tea with boba and no sugar and light ice. It hit the spot for the boba craving. The boba was chewy and has a light sweetness to it. I like the strong tea flavor. .The vibe here was relaxing. Overall I liked it and can't wait to try something else in the future. It's next to party city with plenty of parking. Hope this review helps and thanks for reading. Have a yelptastic day.

This is the best boba in the Sacramento/Elk Grove region coming from someone who used to live in LA and is a boba snob. The Royal no. 9 milk tea (super creamy and flavorful) and recently the purple rice yogurt as a non-caffeinated alternative are my personal favorites and go-to's.My suggestion and hope for the business would be to implement an award system for their loyal, frequent customers. :)

This might be our new favorite boba location in Sacramento!! It's a little far from us so I hope they open a new location closer to me!Right off the bat, customer service was amazing!! I originally ordered a drink and it tasted a bit funny to me and I asked them about it and they gave me a free drink because I didn't like the one I ordered. The worker was so friendly too!! Prices are regular, and the taste was by far the best we've ever had!! When I'm around this area I'll definitely be coming back! The ube was delicious and tasted just like ube! The boba was really chewy, just how I like it too.
