We've tried The Alley a few times now and always find them a bit disappointing. The positives are…read morethe store is clean & spacious. The downsides are the service is long and the drinks are mediocre. Out of our picks today, I would say the Thai Milk Tea was the better of the two but it was because the Strawberry Snow flavoring was way too artificial. They added scoops of strawberry (jam-like) puree that didn't mix well with the rest of the drink at all. Also, all their drinks are way too sweet. The over-sweetness is surprising since we always get 50% sweetness but they still overdo it. You can definitely find better boba elsewhere.

I was very disappointed with the customer service.

However, the staff gave us attitude the entire time, making us feel like we were inconveniencing them for asking for a simple tray. The drinks were fine, but good customer service matters just as much. Unfortunately, this experience left a bad impression, and I hope the staff learns to treat customers with more kindness and respect.

Horrendous customer service and seems like things aren't fresh here. Wouldn't recommend

What a menagerie of imagination! They were kind enough to ask how sweet I wanted my strawberry milk boba tea. Half sweet was good enough for me and shame of it was that I gulped it down in minutes. Fortunately, I had a giant straw to suck up my tapioca pearls. Hidden from the road but worth the visit!

I tried many drinks from Gongcha, but my favorites are the Strawberry milk tea/Mango green tea/3Q passionfruit. This location doesn't overdo the ice as well.

For starter they have so many toppings without additional charge.

I ordered a bowl with two proteins but honest I could have done with just 1 since I can add sweet eggs & fish roes for free. I coupled my food with a mango boba drink and it was great!! The portion was big enough for two meals. 100% recommendation!!

I've come here a few times now, PTEA is great when you just want a quick, classic boba milk tea!…read more They have a self-service kiosk to order from but I find it faster just to order from the staff since the place is never busy. The lids are the pop-on kind with bigger straw holes for the boba straw. I kind of prefer it to the plastic seals where I inevitably spill some of my drink when I stab my straw into it. My drink is ready so fast, great for when I'm in a hurry. The milk tea is solid and strong, and the boba is soft and chewy. The prices are decent too, good value for your drink!

PTEA's aesthetics are pretty, but their drinks are just okay. They use a self-service kiosk so you…read morecan customize your drinks to your liking. The staff is nice & the drinks come out fast. Their Matcha Cheese Tea was by far the better of the two, but the matcha flavor was slightly lacking. The boba was chewy & delicious though. Their Milk Tea tasted like water even with the recommended sweetness. Overall, would say their boba is expensive and average.

Fruity has really yummy drinks at a good price!…read more Located in the South Shore Plaza, Fruity has lots of fruit teas and fruit smoothies available. They also have milk teas too. I like their specialty fruit teas that come with jellies and popping bobas! They're cheaper than other bubble tea locations for what you get considering there are usually two toppings. The drinks are generally really refreshing, but I always ask for less sugar now. I find that the regular sweetness for their fruit teas is overwhelmingly sweet personally, but my friends seem to like it. They also don't overpack their drinks with ice which is something I appreciate. My favorites are their Mango Fever and Sunny Peach Specialty drinks! I highly recommend these two drinks if you decide to stop by here.

Our dessert order was packed in a bag too as if expecting us to take it to go. Out of awkwardness, we didn't eat it on the spot. I got the triple layer dessert because I was most interested in the coconut part of their offerings, and this would let me try all of their variations. It's supposed to be coconut water jelly and coconut milk jelly all prepared inside a coconut which also has its own coconut flesh. I can't tell if I can't differentiate the layers or my coconut really didn't have water jelly inside. I could only see/taste the milk jelly parts. The flavor and texture itself is amazing. It's super soft and melts in your mouth texture. Appreciate how they didn't overdo the gelatin (or whatever thickener they use). The coconut flavor is soft and gentle and creamy. They actually add coconut flakes on top. It's nice to have different texture but I can live without it. Or maybe they added it in place of coconut jelly to be another layer?? Having the whole coconut itself makes it feel worth to get the triple layer. However, the coconut meat isn't necessarily the most tender or sweet. They give a plastic spoon and that's barely strong enough to scrape out the flesh. I guess that's why it's better to take it home - to use a metal spoon. My conclusion is that I'd rather get the single or double layer next time. I think I want to try the double layer next so I can explicitly see the coconut water jelly layer to determine if I think it's worth to get or I should just double down on the single layer option of just coconut milk jelly. It also begs the question whether single and double layer is worth it when the triple layer comes with a whole coconut while the former two come in a glass jar. 4.5* but will put 4* until I try more and have a better conclusion.

We usually get…read moreplain ones and it goes for about $8...I knew what I asked for looks pretty nice with toppings...but I still feel $14 is kind of pricey for this. However, pricing aside, the egg waffle was prepared fresh upon order. You can choose the waffle flavor, and then go with 1 of many topping themes. We chose the Chocolate Lover with Vanilla waffle flavor. This looked amazing and the tastes and quality matched it. It quickly made us forget the price! The staff up front were friendly. Only downside was it took like 15 minutes to get your egg waffle (was told up front at least). Ambiance is the food court of South Shore Plaza. If you want a fancy egg waffle treat, definitely try this place!
