The baristas were very friendly with helping me choose my drink and made sure my first experience was the best it could have been. I tried both the banana matcha and hot chocolate marshmallow drink. Both were fantastic, but I liked the matcha more personally. It had a clean aftertaste, with mellow notes of sweetness and creaminess. One of the better matcha I have had in the city for sure. Definitely worth a try if you are nearby.

I ordered the White trufflemisu and it was not too sweet but still strong which was wonderful. The other drink I tried was the Banana Toffee Latte and this was the perfect sweetness level. I love how you can customize the level of coffee and get regular or strong. If you're looking for a cute, quiet coffee shop to catch up with a friend, or get some work done, there is plenty of room here to do it.

The texture of the danish was good, nicely moist. The rhubarb compote was yummy! But the matcha creme was weird. I like matcha in a drink, but I don't think it belongs on a pastry. It was odd. Pretty standard prices and service. Interior is very pretty...deep green walls, plants, and a mural. Bustling environment. Overall, a pretty good place.

Ive brought friends here in the past and have always gotten positive feedback afterwards. Recently though, it feels like it's lost a little of its charm. The menu needs updating because with all the crossed out items on the board, it looks a little low end and like they're out of things. But they also always seem to be out of multiple items when I come these days. There's no food options any more most of the time, but the display cases remain. And seating... it feels like they got rid of 1-2 tables and the tables that were outside. There never seems to be enough seating so it's both cramped while also empty looking now. They have these side benches to sit on, but no one ever uses them because they're not super comfortable or good to chat with anyone with. Also, the bathroom. It's usually open, but twice now Ive been in there where there's zero toilet paper or the paper towel dispenser is out, but someone has just put a roll on top to tear at your own will. I loved this place so I hate saying more negative than good. The drinks remain amazing, but for a spot that is so popular, it's losing some of its own charm.

It was located in a very INDUSTRIAL area so it reminded me of IRVINE... FIRST thought that hit me when I opened the door and went inside is "where is the MOTHER LOVING AC?" There better be AC next time otherwise I'm taking away a star Because I loved the desserts so much I'm going to forgive the lack of AC this time... UBE FRAPPUCCINO: 10/10 I loved it and I wanted more! It came such a teasing little grande size and I walked VENTI size like Starbucks. I could order 2 next time. It also came with UBE WHIPPED CREAM... UBE CROOKIE & UBE BROWNIE & UBE CHEESECAKE BITES: ALL 10/10 I finished every one of them except the brownie I gave that one to my dearest LOVING MOTHER! GOD I can't wait to come back and TRY everything else in the store! SERVICE: I think they might be short staffed. I didn't see anyone when I came in but, then a cute and kind looking girl came out from the back. A+ service. I will definitely be back!!! Y'all just please kindly turn on the AC or I'm coming in my BIKINI next time ;) ROCK ON & TURN ON THE AC PLEASE ALL THINGS UBE DESSERTS!!!

I got a cheesecake slice, brownie and mochi brick with coconut. Cheesecake slice was my favorite, its like ube halaya mixed with a bit of cream cheese and put into a pie crust. The mochi brick was ok, the cashier warmed it for me because he said its served warm, I took a few bites in the car while it was still warm, wasn't blown away, so I let it cool. When I got back to it later it was already back to room temp, I liked it better that way. The ube halaya brownie would have been good fresh but what I got looked and tasted old. Like when you leave brownies out for a few days how the edges and top start getting hard. Thats probably what happened here. It felt like this brownie had a shell casing around it. I ended up peeling the hard parts off to taste it but I threw most of it away.

I didn't know they opened another location in Mira Mesa! This was my first time visiting this one,…read morebut I've been to other The Alleys in the past. I came here with a friend on a weekend, and it wasn't too crowded. Parking was easy to find, as the store is located in a shopping plaza. I ordered the Strawberry Green Tea with Jelly, and my friend got a mango drink with mochi. Our drinks came out super fast! I really liked my drink; however, it was rather sweet, even though I already ordered it with 50% sweetness. I would recommend adjusting/lowering the sweetness here when ordering! As far as the ambiance goes, it's rather sterile/white. The inside is smaller and limited in seating, so I can't really see myself coming here with a bigger group of friends. It seems more like a grab-and-go establishment, in my opinion. Overall, I had a pleasantly standard experience at The Alley. Nothing in particular stood out to me, both positive and negative. Solid boba spot :)

This one kinda hurts to say but this place really fell off. I used to like it, but after this visit…read moreI think I'm done coming here, especially with how many better boba spots are around Mira Mesa. I stopped by because it's super close to the freeway and I just wanted a quick drink before heading back south. Sunday around 4:30 the music was good, the place was clean, and the workers were friendly. There's a lot of seating inside and outside, plus board games if you want to hang out or study. Ordering was easy with the kiosk too. I got a jasmine milk tea with boba and asked for less sugar and less ice. The drink came out pretty fast and the cup design was actually cute and different from what I remember. I didn't try it until I was already back on the freeway and the first sip was honestly confusing. The jasmine flavor was super faint and watered down, but then it tasted sour. Like really sour. Not in a tea way, more like something went bad. It genuinely tasted off. I couldn't even finish it. I took maybe three sips and threw the whole thing away, which sucked because I was already driving and couldn't go back. That's the main issue. With how many boba places are in Mira Mesa, you can't be serving drinks like that. If it was just bland that's one thing, but tasting sour like that feels like a bigger problem. It honestly made me question the quality. I'd skip this spot for now. There are way better and more consistent options nearby.

We stopped by at around 8:20am today and there were only a few people in line. Service was welcoming and kind! They had an assortment of baked goods + empanadas as well as a great matcha/coffee menu. There's lots of seating for anyone who wants to hangout with friends or study. So awesome to see that they serve Nami (aashleyk's matcha brand). I ordered a chicken empanada, pan de elote, & an iced matcha cloud (less sweet & oat milk). Everything was absolutely DELISH. I'm pretty picky about my matcha, especially when it's in an Einspanner form. I loved the contrast between the sweet/salty cloud and the matcha itself! This place has their ratios down perfectly. Can't wait to come back (probably tomorrow)! 11/10.

Most other coffee shops charge $1.00 or more now, so that was a really nice surprise. They also gave me a stamp card for future visits, which I'll definitely be using. Will absolutely be back!
