The interior isn't that cozy with old fashion chairs and dirty old benches and the WiFi didn't work. But bc the boba was so good, I'd be back if I am ever that south again and why I give a 5 star. The inside is more of a 3.5. Oh and the popcorn chicken was good too with the dipping sauce $7. Service was very friendly.

Right next to Starbread Bakery! How convenient is that! Was luckily to find this tea shop right…read morenext to Starbread where we picked up a box of señorita bread. It was not very busy when we visited. Very cute photo op right when you walk in. I wanted my usual Thai tea. They offer two sizes, small and large. What happened to a medium size?!? The Thai tea has a very strong tea flavor, which is not a bad thing, but the tea is made with rock sugar which has a very distinctive flavor. It was very overwhelming and I didn't care for it. I like Thai tea in its simplest form and not where the sugar/sweetness is not adjustable... and definitely not made with rock sugar. Probably won't be back... sucks cause it's so convenient to Starbread bakery. :( 2025: 61

Arrived on a Sunday afternoon at 1:20 PM. Five other customers, a respectful and quieter place…read more Four staff members working to handle all orders. Check-in ordering kiosk is available at the counter along with being able to order from a cashier. Menu on TV boards above the registers and also menu with photos posted outside. I ordered the mango coconut milk smoothie/less sugar and added boba, which was featured on their seasonal drink menu. Even with ordering less sugar, the mango and coconut made it very sweet so I would recommend perhaps almost no sugar the next time but I enjoyed it and it was still very good. I did not order any food items. Hours clearly posted on the front door with strip mall parking right out front. Comfortable seating with table space inside, would be good for groups, as well as single customers. Wheelchair-accessible entrance and restroom. Nice and relaxing atmosphere with floral tree as decor, flowers jetting over the ceiling of the general floor space and plants throughout.. Very clean with nice chill music playing.

The Alley is a nice boba spot. My friends and I made a stop here after returning from a trip to a…read moreMexico and we were in search of a sweet treat. The group tried the Ube Taro Brown Sugar Boba Milk, Ube Brown Sugar Boba Creme Brulee Milk, Mango Green Tea, and Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie. Individual reviews of the Ube Brown Sugar were positive with notes that the boba was overcooked and there was a little too much boba for the liquid ratio. My friend enjoyed her Mango Green Tea and I did like the Strawberry Yogurt Smoothie. It was sweet and creamy, and more on the refreshing side. I got it without boba because I had a bit of an upset stomach while I still wanted something sweet. Didn't think adding boba would help with that! So I think it was good without. The staff was also helpful and tried to make sure we were clear on some of the quirks of potential drink flavors. Would return when I'm with my friends in the area again.

I came here after I got my hair done and I haven't had anything to eat. I ordered two Roasted Brown…read moreSugar Matchas. They didn't have any alternative milk, only low fat and whole milk options. I also ordered half sweet but it tasted like full sweetness to me. Drink was powdery, I had a grainy feel in my mouth after every sip. Also the drink was warm, so it wasn't as cold as I would like it and most of the ice was melted. Not sure what was supposed to be roasted but didn't detect any roasted flavor at all. Boba was soft and chewy though. There's so many great boba options out there, I was disappointed with this experience. The cute little ear lid is a nice touch but I'd rather have a smooth matcha drink than cute packaging to be honest. Also, with so many matcha places in SD, this drink really falls short. Service was okay, the cashier seemed confused when I asked for alternate drink options and I had to repeat my order a few times, because he was getting the two matchas confused. Unfortunately, not one of my top choices for boba shops

I also ordered the Banana Kem Coffee, but it was very light and didn't taste like it had much caffeine. I was hoping for a stronger, more traditional Viet coffee flavor. Neither drink really gave me the caffeine kick I was expecting. Overall, it's an okay spot if you like lighter, sweeter drinks, but not ideal if you're looking for a bold coffee.
