As a preface, I'd like to say that I value taste extremely high compared to service or ambiance,…read moreand I weigh price highly as well. Overall, The Alley has a lot going for it. Drinks are amazing and locations are well placed and spaced which makes it easy for me to access as a consumer. Ambiance and service are nothing special, but I could not care less. The alley constantly comes out with new flavors and options for me try, but this is where the problem strikes. They constantly create drinks which appeal to niche demographics and so I regularly do not enjoy the new flavors. The Alley plays heavier to tea enjoyers and less to people like me who hate tea but enjoy fruit smoothies and toppings. I love the ube taro/puff brown sugar bubble tea in particular, because I cannot figure out whether it has tea in it or not. There are a lot of options, so I am sure I can do some searching for a better flavor, but I would say they do not have a lot of drinks that appeal to a wide demographic. The rewards program also sucks, might as well not exist, and so when I talk about pricing, I will not consider the rewards program (12 drinks for 1 free). The drinks are worth the price ($8.5 for a large), but it is on the expensive side of most bubble tea stores. For example, Coco has offers and deals on good drinks to bring the cost down to 2 drinks for $10. The point I am trying to make is that The Alley is premium in flavor and cost which encourages me to go to other locations for an alternative simply because I want to buy food alongside a drink and stay within my budget. Worth going too once in a month or to satisfy a craving, overall great place.

The drinks are fantastic! Genuinely my favourite place to get drinks and I'm CONSTANTLY craving it…read more My favourite is the crunchy strawberry milk tea. Cozy space and lots of seats, but I always have to wait forever for my drink. There were at least multiple times where I had to wait like 20+ mins for a drink since there was only one worker. I can't really blame them because it can get busy at times, but waiting like 30 mins for a tiny little drink is insane. I swear the service used to be much faster so it might have just been the days I chose to go. They have a great bathroom, though. I was shocked at how nice it was.

My family and I came around 11am, and they were sold out of most of their scones, but were working on a second batch. I suggest to go early so that you can get a wider selection. Every scone was delicious, soft on the inside, buttery, with enough crust on the outside. The cheese and jalapeño ones had a perfect amount of kick but were not spicy overall (which I loved). The sweet scones were also amazing! Every cookie we ordered was soft and delicious. We also ordered the matcha lemonade, as well as the turmeric latte, which I probably won't be getting again. But nonetheless, this place is amazing!

They serve Fortnum and Mason's teas along with baked goods. We didn't try their afternoon tea service but want to come back for that. The cafe was pretty crowded even though we came on a weekday evening so it might be better to try it during daytime hours when folks are at work. The prices are reasonable for an afternoon tea cafe as you are paying for the ambience as well as the food.

They have beautiful decorations and such a nice open concept. I love how the natural light flows through the restaurant, it makes everything feel bright and lively. The decor is really pretty, lots of green touches, and just overall really good energy inside. The food was yummy. We tried the breakfast poutine and the fried chicken eggs benedict, which were both unique and different from your typical breakfast options. Everything tasted fresh and good quality. The only thing I'd say is the portions felt a bit small, it wasn't the most filling meal especially for the price. Still really tasty though, just not super heavy. Service was nice and the staff were kind, but it was very slow and not super attentive. It was packed in there, which probably explains it, but it did make the experience feel a little drawn out. Overall though, it's a really cute spot with good vibes and solid food. Definitely a nice place to go for a fun breakfast or brunch.
