We've tried The Alley a few times now and always find them a bit disappointing. The positives are…read morethe store is clean & spacious. The downsides are the service is long and the drinks are mediocre. Out of our picks today, I would say the Thai Milk Tea was the better of the two but it was because the Strawberry Snow flavoring was way too artificial. They added scoops of strawberry (jam-like) puree that didn't mix well with the rest of the drink at all. Also, all their drinks are way too sweet. The over-sweetness is surprising since we always get 50% sweetness but they still overdo it. You can definitely find better boba elsewhere.

They do also have happy hour deals at certain times where you can get a brown sugar tapioca drink for $5 or a free topping. Otherwise, the price is a bit steep at $7-8 per drink though on par now with a lot of the other more popular places in Boston which are becoming more expensive as well. I like that the Alley offers some different drink options which are not found at most other boba shops and would go back again for the drinks we tried.

We even inquired about their chili crisp (so addicting) and they were kind enough to answer. Above and beyond! Space is 5 stars too. Plenty of seating in the front (bright and airy) and a quiet area at the back (dark and cozy). You don't feel rushed with your meal. Food was a 3.5-4. Ca Phe Kem Pho Mai (Vietnamese coffee with salted foam) was delicious. Strong coffee with a sweet and salty taste. I could've eaten the foam with a spoon. The salmon toast wasn't bad but I would make a couple of changes (1) reduce the cream cheese - it looks good/aesthetic but overwhelms the flavor (2) sub the avocado paste to fresh avocado, it had a funny taste. The cookie dough croissant was good but the outer cover was too crispy, it didn't have the flakiness of a croissant. I also wish they would have some other substitutions for their banh mi like chicken or shrimp or tofu. Hopefully someday!

What I got was a sad excuse for a cappuccino -- not even hot, not even filled to the top, and somehow it still cost $5. How can you call yourself a coffee shop when you don't have a coffee machine, no espresso machine, and no way to properly froth milk? It feels dishonest and careless to serve something like this and charge that much for it. Coffee is supposed to be enjoyable, not a disappointment. If you care about quality or authenticity, this is definitely not the place to go.

They have actual entree items aside from pastries, so a lot of people were dining in. I was only there to order some pastries to go and it was so cramped in there. The pastries itself were beautiful. Around $8-10 a piece and each dessert was a quite small. The croissants were incredibly flakey and crispy. The raspberry cheesecake croissant was my favorite! I loved the cheesecake filling. The lychee mousse dessert was also everyone's favorite. These fruit shaped desserts were pretty soft. They don't have a crunchy chocolate shell like the ones that are currently trending online. Overall, these desserts were beautiful and tasted really good. I definitely loved the croissants more!

What we ordered: -Rainbow cake: 4/5, this one was very interesting and we really enjoyed it. It had a fruit essence to it (versus vanilla cake dyed rainbow colors) paired with a very sweet frosting. -Nutella cake: 4/5, cake was soft and fluffy with great Nutella whipped frosting and thick Nutella between the layers. -NY cheesecake: 0/5, it tasted kind of spoiled? -Chocolate ganache cake: 3/5, it was very underwhelming, the crunchy pearls in it gave it a weird texture when you bit those with the soft cake. Whipped cream on top tastes weird.

Quick version: Low prices for excellent quality, really lovely atmosphere…read more My chai latte was much better than the one I would've gotten at Starbucks and was pretty large for the price I paid. They were out of eggs, so I got a pork bun which was fluffy and delicious as well. They had a medium sized-menu with a good selection of your run of the mill American cafe staples as well as options that are harder to find in this area -- Saipao buns, ube lattes, lumpia... I was getting pissed off on the highway on my way to the school in Boston so I pulled off and was looking for a cafe somewhere in Milton or Quincy to work in until the traffic died off a little and found this on Apple Maps. So glad I stopped in! The cafe is bright and home-y, and they also are clearly trying to be a place to build community in the area. They have a whole library and check out system it seems for people to borrow books, and based on the signs welcome in anyone that needs to use the restroom or respite from whatever weather is going on! I used one of their tables and worked on some schoolwork, but they also had a variety of soft seating available. They had a really good playlist that had a great beat but was still kinda chill. It wasn't super busy, probably since it was midday on a Thursday, but damn it should be busier in there! Great spot... will most likely be stopping here the next time I find myself screaming at other cars and needing to calm my road rage. Another note: I saw a sign and it looks like they have a way for people to hold events here. If you had a community group that needed a spot to have meet ups I think this would be a great spot

I was recommended this small cafe on TikTok for their tiramisu lattes (which those who know me know…read morethat I have an obsession with Tiramisu lattes). I ended up grabbing two lattes this morning and enjoying the winter ambiance of Weymouth. This cafe is located right next to a cinema, down the street from South Shore Hospital. For those who like to work from their laptop at cafes, this location is not a cafe where you can work from. This small storefront has very good latte, tea, and coffee options as well as a few food options such as breakfast sandwiches, bagels, and chaffles. For those who have celiac disease (like myself), this cafe does not have any gluten-free options - but don't let that stop you from trying one of their lattes or drink options. This morning I tried a tiramisu latte and a peanut butter latte. The tiramisu latte was very good and had a good balance of coffee and the flavoring. I would rate this latte an 8.5 out of 10 based on the appearance, flavor, and size. Regarding Tiramisu lattes, it was one of the better ones that I've tried. The peanut butter latte was also pretty good; however, I feel it could've had a little more coffee or peanut butter flavor. I felt as if it were like drinking almond milk after eating a peanut butter sandwich. I didn't really get the peanut butter flavor until after I was finishing the latte and got to the cold foam. Overall, this cafe was a cute find and would be amazing for a warm day if you planned on walking around Weymouth

Honestly, nothing bad here for an Asian tastebud who enjoys fresh and semi-sweet. Plus, you get a mason jar to use for other things at home.
