Got to take a picture with their grand opening balloons!
Jenny P.

I am so glad to have checked out this gem! When you enter, you feel so welcomed and cozy with its nice interior design and decor. The staff are nice and welcoming also! I tried the ube brown sugar boba crème brulee drink and it was so good! There are so many other drinks to choose from, I can't wait to return to try the others, like their tiramisu drink!

The Alley is one of my favorite boba spots in town because of the variety of drinks they offer. They're different than the typical milk and fruit teas, and are very creative when it comes to experimenting with flavors and textures. I had been to The Alley in SE Portland, as well as in other states and even internationally, and it always impresses. My favorite, go-to drink is the lychee yogurt! It's refreshing, and uses handmade lychee jelly, rather than the store-bought rectangular jellies that boba shops usually use. This time around, I got to try a TON of their drinks as well as their croffles, and can say that they were all ones I would order again. I like my drinks extremely sweet, and will always get 100% sweetness, so am biased in that regard. If you prefer less sweet, I would recommend ordering a percentage or two down since the drinks' default is pretty high in sweetness. The space is beautiful and contemporary, and a spot I could see myself and friends hanging out at often. The staff is also super friendly and happy to answer any questions you have! Great new addition to Beaverton :)

Soft launch schedule

Came back to try the crunchy tiramisu milk tea. Didn't realize it was a blended drink, but overall it was good. The tiramisu flavor is pretty light and not sweet enough to my liking. Once you mix the tiramisu foam on top all the little crunchies get really soggy. We also tried the Ube Taro drink, and that was actually pretty good. Lots of taro chunks throughout the drink. Service was great and friendly as usual.

So excited The Alley opened a location in the burbs! I first tried them in Hawaii so I was excited when I heard about this location opening near me. Came during soft opening week and was pleasantly surprised. There was no line and staff were friendly. The cafe itself has a warm, elegant ambiance. Love the furniture selection as well. We got the Ube taro brown sugar boba milk tea and the strawberry green tea with jelly. Both were delicious! I'd recommend getting less or half sweet for the green tea. The green tea jelly it comes with is homemade and so flavorful. Dangerous for my wallet that this cafe opened up near me because I will be visiting often!

Original Purple Rice Yogurt

My mom has been OBSESSED with the purple rice yogurt drink at The Alley so she finally dragged me there to try it. She was right! It's so good and fun to drink/eat. It comes with rice and jelly toppings so there's something to chew on after every sip. I also haven't seen this particular drink anywhere else in Beaverton or Portland so it's really one-of-a-kind and very unique. The interior of the place is really warm and inviting. There are plenty of comfy seating options, which is much appreciated as a lot of cafes have a very rough decor with no cushion accents these days.

Ube brown sugar crème brulee milk tea

Super cute interior with lots of seating! Drinks were made super quickly as there was no wait. Tried their highly recommended ube brown sugar crème brûlée milk tea and it was great! Perhaps a tad too sweet, so next time I'll be adjusting the sugar.

Ube Milk Tea with brown sugar boba
Rachel P.

I love love LOVE this place. Their Ube milk tea is to die for. Clean, great service & very cozy. Staff is kind! I ordered incorrectly and staff was happy to re-make my drink and explain how I could order it properly in the future.

Hands down one of the worst experiences I've had at a boba shop. I ordered a croffle, and what they gave me was an absolute disaster completely melted. It was literally inedible. How do you even mess up a croffle this badly? For the prices they charge, this is unacceptable. The boba drink was mediocre at best, and honestly, I couldn't even enjoy it after that mess of a croffle Save your money and go somewhere that actually knows how to serve food. This place is a joke

By far the best milk tea I've ever had! We ordered the Guava Lemon Tea (50% sweet), Jasmin Milk Tea…read more(less sweet), and White Peach Oolong (50% sweet) and all the drinks were really good. There's a very nice tea flavor, not watery, and not milky either. I was sad the size that came with the combo was a Regular and really wanted more. I should've ordered one to go for the next day lol The food overall was good. We ordered the chicken stir fry noodles and the scallion noodles with pork, basil chicken, and the cucumber salad. The scallion noodles was too salty. And the basil chicken was dry (unlike boba spot, they used chicken breast I believe). Overall, enjoyed the chicken noodles stir fry and cucumber salad here. Service was great at the front. The young girls did a great job. The other girl working behind the counter could be a bit more friendly. Overall, cute place but could use louder music to set the mood a bit becuase I felt weird that it was so quiet. Would come back again for the milk tea if we are ever in town again.

I had time to kill in the area and just dropped in on a whim and had a great experience. I always…read morelove businesses with digital kiosks so I can take my time and make sure it's vegetarian and above all, as an introvert, minimal human interaction. I ordered the Stir-Fried Noodle With Tofu & Egg and it was really tasty and a great portion. Staff were all super kind and helpful. Highly recommend.
