The passion fruit green tea tasted diluted. I liked the aloe jelly in the drink though. Tastes like fresh squeezed orange juice made by someone who loves me.I decided to try this place because of my friends recommendation. 301 W Valley Blvd #102, San Gabriel (626) 656-6319. order through the app.I've been to this location a handful of times and it's been consistent. I recommend not shaking or stirring the drink and experiencing the nuanced flavors by taking variable amounts of the brown sugar boba and the milk. Royal Milk tea is typically a blend of Assam and Darjeeling teas. From the store interior to the style of cups they use for boba. I like that they have soy milk and oat milk options, and their boba is definitely good quality. My family and I are probably the biggest fans of The Alley. fresh milk (5/5) It satisfies my sweet tooth craving without being overly sweet. The first time I came I had their most popular brown sugar fresh milk deerioca and it was ok. Their most popular drink, brown sugar deerioca, is comprised of their in-house made boba bathed in a brown sugar sauce and then topped off with organic milk. Please be clear, this subtle but flavorful drink has no tea in it. gender neutral restrooms. order through the app.Heard mixed things about this place from friends but decided to give it a fair chance by not looking at Yelp before hand. Tastes like plain milk. It was sweet & chewy! The medium cup was the only cup that came with their logo so I guess it's nice for the aesthetics. The inside gives off small cafe vibes, but not much room to lounge. Overall, the service was bleh and drink was good. Their drinks are pretty good and not overly sweet!

June 2020. Have to order the brown sugar!!!!!!!!! Recently I've been ordering via DoorDash and have noticed that their drinks are a little expensive than other boba spots in the area (my drink was a little over $6 after adding boba). *note: they have the option to substitute Their cups are definitely a lot smaller than other stores around, but they're more known for their The Alley is open to fill all your boba tea and delivery requests! Ask for delivery by either calling or While the drinks were good, they were very expensive price. It's a simple drink made with quality ingredients. San Gabriel, CA. Price was just ok, too. All very delicious!Well known international boba shop that has now opened up a store in the SGV area.

- Apple ale (5/5) I don't know why since all you need to make the drink is brown sugar boba and milk. It was subpar at best...bland, lacks sugar and I could barely taste the matcha :(It was my first time in The Alley yesterday as I was headed to San Gabriel Valley. fresh milk (5/5) I was a bit nervous because the Yelp reviews weren't that great, but I decided to give it a shot.Easily the worst boba I've ever had. The Alley was featured several times on the Kdrama The King Eternal Monarch which lead me to visit. The watermelon was too sweet and the foam on top of the drink was also really sweet. First time here and I'm impressed. Ratings. Share review. Came on a weeknight since my friend raves about this place. Absolutely loved their boba so soft and easy to chew just perfect! A worker parked in front started unloading inventory and smoking with another employee. I wasn't sure what to order so read reviews and recommendations was Creme Brulee Milk with Boba. The location in Irvine is 100 times better.Not sure why there are such bad reviews of this place.Don't believe hype. accepts credit cards. It's perfect as a sipping drink that can last hours while you work rather than a drink you down in the first half-hour haha.Pretty good boba! Couple nights ago stopped for creme brulee milk again. But OMG their crystal boba is soooooo chewy and good. I could not detect any of the Assam or Darjeeling tea flavor through the sweetness. Placed my order and stepped outside. However, after this experience it looks like I will not be returning.It seems like it's better to order once you arrive.
