Tips: - Lucky Tea is located inside Red Lotus Restaurant…read more - Half the drink items are unavailable on the menu. After my friend and I had hot pot, we wanted bubble tea. I did a search and found Lucky Tea and CoCo nearby. We decided to try Lucky Tea. I used Google Maps to get us here. It was bad. It told me to park behind Btrust Supermarket. Sure, we had stuffed ourselves at the all-you-can-eat hot pot and needed exercise. I wasn't expecting this much of it! We walked around the supermarket until we found an entrance. We then cut through what felt like the largest Asian supermarket until we got to the other entrance. We then saw Red Lotus Restaurant with a sign for Lucky Tea. Lucky Tea is located on the right when you enter Red Lotus Restaurant. No one was there, so someone at the restaurant had to fetch a female staffer to help us out. The digital menu looked good. However, when we looked at the physical menus, half the items were unavailable. My friend got the lemon yakult. I went with the supreme grape. Both are fixed as far as size, ice, and sugar levels go. I paid for both our drinks, as I owed my friend money from the hot pot. The woman had to fetch the payment machine so I could pay with a credit card. Once the machine was in front of me, I tapped and all was good. We watched this woman make our drinks. She was skilled and efficient making them. She gave us straws. We thanked her and left. My friend enjoyed his lemon yakult. He finished it as I drove us back to work. He liked how the yogurt complimented the tart lemon. I got the grape supreme. It's yogurt with grapes and ice blended together. I enjoyed it immensely. It's not my typical drink, but I'm glad that I went with it. I didn't realize hours later that I'd end up with a stomach ulcer. The yogurt in this drink likely disguised some of the pain and symptoms that I had. It was interesting seeing the World Tea House seal on our drinks. They are likely related. Now that I know where this tea place is, I'd go back and sample whatever is left on the menu. If you want more bubble tea varieties, you may want to hit CoCo instead. (161)

At Lucky Tea to get something refreshing!…read more They removed a lot of their drinks from their menu so there's not as many selections as they used to have. I ordered the Tofu Milk Bobo, Lucky Ovaltine and Red Oolong Milk Tea. The Tofu Milk Bobo was silky smooth and creamy. It's very authentic to what I expected it to be. The Lucky Ovaltine is a nice drink to have to beat the heat. I like how they lined the cup and topped the drink up with even more Ovaltine. The Red Oolong Milk Tea was a bit weak in my opinion. Overall, it's a nice place to grab something quick to drink.

This location of the Alley is one of the many bubble tea places in Square One. To me, it stands out…read morebecause it's right next to the Food District so you can get a drink right after getting a meal. As well, their drink selection is pretty unique and they have a good mix of milk tea and fruit teas. Keep an eye out for any promotions that they do, as they sometimes come out with cool drinks or merch (for example, several years ago I got a cooler bag and a cup sleeve from a Sanrio collab that they did). They had a Demon Slayer collab a while back where they had these amazing mochi drinks. I went here a few weeks ago with my boyfriend. I wanted to try their crunchy milk tea series but they had run out. I instead opted to try their Lime Green Tea which was great. I particularly like how this one doesn't have a huge wedge of lime inside it. My boyfriend got the Jasmine Green Tea, which he said was just okay. They make the drinks here relatively quickly, which is appreciated as they tend to get really busy sometimes. I did wish the drinks came in a slightly bigger size as the large isn't very big. Overall, this location of The Alley is convenient and makes good quality drinks. Watch out for ordering during peak times as it can get very busy.

The Alley is very popular despite the location (corner spot next to a parking lot entrance/exit)…read more Service was pretty quick, too. I had the Ginseng Summer Lime (small, less ice) and The Alley Trio Milk Tea (large, less ice, less sugar). The drinks and toppings were pretty good. The tapica was pretty chewy though they might have been sitting out for a bit. For the ginseng drinks, I wished that there was a larger drink option (if the small is the only option).

I've been to several locations of The Alley in the GTA and Toronto as I'm a big fan, so I was happy…read moreto see one when I was in the Hamilton area today. It's on a cute little main street area on King St W. The inside has a similar aesthetic to the other locations with the deer theme, brick wall, etc. My favourite drink from The Alley is their Royal #9 and this location made it well! Sometimes, the occasional location doesn't make it with that strong distinct blueberry milk tea taste but my husband and I agreed that this one was on point! This location also looked like it had the full menu like other The Alley locations. Staff here were quick and efficient, which was great as we are used to waiting a while at other locations. The drink was ready in a matter of minutes since we happened to come when it wasn't busy. I would definitely come back to this location when I'm in the area again!

I love the alley and their deerioca (hand made tapioca)! I ordered my drink on DoorDash and it was…read moreready for pick up in less than 15 minutes! The dine in area is closed and the restaurant is set up for strictly take out. I got the Deerioca Puff which basically the popular Deerioca Fever but with custard pudding to create a crème brûlée-like flavour. I love the alley for the fact that most of their ingredients are made from scratch, including their deerioca and sugarcane syrup!

The drink was a little bit too sweet for my liking, even with a decreased sugar level. I feel like the sugar might be a little over bearing. It's not the best nor the worst drink. The location is pretty quiet when I visited at around 3:45pm. Service was pretty quick cause it wasn't as busy as I thought it would be. Space is small and might get pretty crowded for 1 or 2 large group or several smaller groups of 2-5. Also, street parking is paid parking and is limited. I parked in the plaza next door and walking across the street.

Disappointing boba spot…read more After an unmemorable first visit, I went back again and decided I won't be going back. The shop is small and only has about 3 high chairs to sit on. Parking is limited so I've seen people park across the street. Tea flavor is non-existent and don't bother requesting for less ice as it doesn't seem they care. I ordered less ice, yet once I was done with my drink I had almost half a cup of ice. Worker was too busy talking to her friends and didn't call out my orders so I had to ask if any of the drinks out were mine.

I assumed it would be more busy since it was between after school and before dinner, but it would seem nice to do study. I went to get a bubble tea drink since I usually pass this place frequently. It was a bit pricey and was alright since the tapioca (or something) seemed to cancel out the sweetness overall. The final bit of the drink seems to taste good after nearly finishing it and eating all of the tapioca.

They had a lot of unique options here that I don't normally see at other bubble tea franchises (the…read morepackaging is pretty too!) I ordered an oreo cream puff milk tea which they made pretty fast. I usually order no ice and less sugar but forgot this time. However, they didn't give much ice to begin with and it wasn't too sweet either, both of which are good things since some places give so much ice I wonder where the actual milk tea is! I also liked the design of the cap: you can put the cap in a holder and if you want to recap it for whatever reason, you can! This place is connected to an internet gaming cafe too (which also has rooms with mahjong tables to the side). I don't think that part is open yet, so it would be interesting to see what they offer when they do open.

Ube was good and does not have a very strong or overwhelming. The matcha tasted kind of faint and non existent. Tapioca was chewy but it tasting like it has been sitting out for a bit. It's not the best drink nor the best place for bubble tea.

When I have dinner with my boyfriend, we always have bubble tea after. Often times, we get drinks…read moreat the same plaza we dine it. This plaza has Owl of Minerva and Dear Saigon which means we'll likely be going here often. We stopped here on a Sunday after getting food from Dear Saigon and going to B-trust. This place is small and is more of a grab-and-go type of place. They have a little wok behind a glass counter that I assume they use to make tapioca pearls (they weren't making any by the time we got here). I'm not a huge fan of any toppings on my drink but that's a cool fact. They also have fortune sticks on the corner where you can get your fortune read. Also very cool! I got a lychee strawberry soda, which was really good. Usually, a lot of drink places that serve soda drinks don't have a lot of flavour, but I could really taste the strawberry and lychee here. I also don't like toppings on my drinks, but I didn't mind the lychee pieces on here as they were small. My boyfriend got the kirin soy drink. He said it was alright. I would definitely come back here as they have quite an extensive menu. It's also a convenient location near several food joints and a B-trust.

I'm glad they're finally open again because they were temporarily closed for a bit…read more I really like their signature brown sugar boba. They make it fresh in front of you which is nice. I've tried their Bunny Jelly Mango Smoothie which had no artificial/added sweetener/sugar to it. It's made with fresh mangoes. The bunny jelly was so cute too. I ordered their Lychee Kirin Tea with 0% sugar and it was still refreshingly good. I recommend trying their Signature Brown Sugar Pearl Milk if you've never been here. We ordered a total of 9 drinks and the workers there were so patient with us. It must've been stressful for them but the service they gave was still exceptional. I've also tried Nonna Lia's tiramisus: Earl Grey and Pistacchio ones. The mascarpone filling wasn't too dense. It was creamy, light and airy. Both tiramisus had a delicate sweetness.
