My eyes were fixated on the gigantic cookies on top, but then my eyes looked down, and I saw it. It was the blueberry lemon muffin. That's actually one of my favorite combos. This thing was so moist with tons of blueberries. My taste buds were shocked at the goodness of quality and taste. Who brags about ice water? I have to. Ice cold water with crushed ice. Did you ever try a passionfruit crème brûlée, well I did, with a touch of tartness and not overly sweet, it was the best crème brûlée ever!

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.

Not just me but my entire family would agree to this statement 1) Food is amazing compared to other restaurants in the area especially for rice places, noodle soups, hot pot and family meals. 2) Cozy and have plenty of space in the restaurant 3) Service is always on point!!

Have no idea what the hype about this place. My friends recommended us to tried this restaurant out…read moresince they have alot of great reviews. We came in a group of 7 people. The place was packed. The waiter gave us two large round tables because they have no table left to seated us all together. We ordered Bun Bo hue, banh trang tron, nem cuon, pho dac biet, com dac biet and a few drinks. The foods came out an hour later. We keep reminding the waiter about our missing food orders. Restaurant is very dark inside with little lighting. Foods are just average. A few complaints. My bun Bo hue was too spicy for me. Banh trang tron is too salty and dry. My smoothie drink tastes like artificial favor. It an experience but we won't be back here again.

We got the pho dac biet (beef broth and noodles with eye round, brisket, flank, tendon, and tripe), bun bo hue (spicy, hearty noodle soup with noodles in fragrant lemongrass beef and pork) and com ga nuong (grilled chicken with rice, cucumber, carrots, radish). All dishes were sooo flavorful and the portions were quite generous. It is worth the drive out here for delicious Vietnamese food.

Coco Leaf is located in Little Saigon, Dorchester Ave. Parking can be a bit tricky here as…read moreeverything seems to be street parking, that's what's painful coming in this area - but it's worth the trip if you're looking for Vietnamese spots! After eating a nice Vietnamese food lunch in this area, we were in the hunt for desert. Coco Leaf is a solid pick in this area and they also had assortment of pastries. We tried two (as pictured which was banh dua and matcha bun). Both were delicious and not too sweet which is what I look for in Asian deserts. Service was friendly and quick as when we visited it was in the middle of the day so there was no line. Ambiance is clean and has the typical vibe of a boba tea place! Our drinks were as expected -

I can see why they close early compared to most other bubble tea stores compared to the rest of Boston. I got a che and a gardenia milk tea. I couldn't really taste the gardenia.

We were grabbing dinner at the food court and my daughter wanted some egg waffles. We usually get…read moreplain ones and it goes for about $8...I knew what I asked for looks pretty nice with toppings...but I still feel $14 is kind of pricey for this. However, pricing aside, the egg waffle was prepared fresh upon order. You can choose the waffle flavor, and then go with 1 of many topping themes. We chose the Chocolate Lover with Vanilla waffle flavor. This looked amazing and the tastes and quality matched it. It quickly made us forget the price! The staff up front were friendly. Only downside was it took like 15 minutes to get your egg waffle (was told up front at least). Ambiance is the food court of South Shore Plaza. If you want a fancy egg waffle treat, definitely try this place!
