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.

It feels very lively and welcoming with the bright window lighting and upbeat music. The staff here are sooo kind and also really efficient!! Which makes the experience even better. The drinks usually don't disappoint... I've tried quite a few and they're always been yummy. Today I ordered the Peach Green Tea with Milk Foam, but I wouldn't recommend it since it tasted a bit sour. All my friends' drinks tasted amazing. My personal favorite is the Tbaar Green Milk Tea because it's floral and creamy. If you like drinks that are more on the milky side rather than super strong tea, Tbaar is definitely for you. I'd recommend it as a good hangout spot and enjoy boba with friends!

My memory of having Tbaar in the past is fuzzy, though I don't remember enjoying it very much back then. They have so many drinks on their menu, I honestly couldn't figure out what I wanted haha. Thankfully, one of the workers helped me out by giving me recs & I was then able to decide on two smoothies to try! I ordered a mango strawberry banana smoothie & mango orange smoothie. Thoughts: Both drinks had an artificial taste. The mango orange smoothie came with mango chunks that reminded me of the canned dole pineapple chunks, same idea. Eh. Still drinkable though but not something I would come back again for. I did enjoy the strawberry mango banana smoothie much more than the mango orange smoothie. Originally wanted to give Tbaar 3 stars, however, the worker that helped me was very nice & saw some other reviews saying to try their teas so maybe I will give that a try next time.

**Rating: ** I've been coming to this location for years,…read morebut unfortunately, the customer service has steadily declined. My most recent visit was particularly disappointing. Despite the shop being quiet with very few orders moving, I stood at the counter for nearly seven minutes without being acknowledged or even greeted. When someone finally approached me, there was no smile or welcoming energy, just a blunt, "You ready to order?" I ordered two bowls: a Nutella Açaí and a Pitaya bowl. I paid an additional fee for extra Nutella, but when the bowls came out, they had a standard amount at best. It's frustrating to be charged for an add-on that isn't actually provided. I've always enjoyed the food here, but the lack of basic hospitality and attention to detail is making it hard to return. I really hope management takes steps to get this location back on track.

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 -

Sweet Sip definitely met our expectations that day. I got the dark and stormy milk tea which came with honey boba. It was interesting to see that you could add free toppings to your milk tea which you rarely see elsewhere. I added the passion fruit jelly and pudding. Unfortunately there were no options in the delivery app to adjust for sweetness or ice so we got the drink as is. It was very well made but was sweeter than I'd prefer (my sweetness level is 70%). However because our accompanying dinner was spicier than expected, the sweetness of the drink actually helped us! I also ordered the mochi eggpuff with pandan flavor. I'm not sure if I could taste the pandan but the eggpuff was delicious. Again, sweeter than I'd typically like but the texture was great - crunchy outside with a chewy mochi filling. We had leftovers and it heated up excellently the next day in our simple toaster oven. This was intended to be a fun add-on to our meal and turned out to be quite essential - glad we tried them out!
