Damn this place is wicked! Even though I only tried the Royal #9 milk tea which I assume is there flagship drink? Correct me if I am wrong. But it was so tasty!!
I came on the day when they were still having there 2 day promo which was get 2 large drinks for $8.85. I got the Royal 9 with full sugar because the girl was telling me what kind of ingredients they put in what not, so what hell?! Let's try something new. First sip of the milk tea, it was pretty damn good. Most interesting thing is that even though they put in full sugar, it didn't taste at all sweet!
I was pretty surprised as I never get full sugar for any of the bubble teas I get just because it usually comes out to be extremely sweet. I don't have that tolerance unfortunately. The Alley, promotes natural flavor bubble tea which means they do not use any powders or artificial ingredients and is strictly all natural and with legit tea ingredients.
I personally, really like the taste and quality of the bubble teas. I had tried this other drink which tasted very much just like tea with full sugar added again but it didn't taste sweet either and only thing I could taste is the tea flavor. They also brew their own tapioca! and they have different flavors too! This place definitely brings bubble tea to another level, a more a quality level than compared to other shops. I suppose I have been spoiled by Chatime for so long until this place popped up. The price for these drinks are very competitive to other bbt shops as well, priced almost the same. Around $4.75 - $5 but you're getting a much better drink compared to other places.
So it depends on your preference on what you like, for me I actually really like this place now more than the rest. I need to come back again to try more drinks. There is a huge list of drinks on their menu, so definitely no shortage of not being to try something new every time.
