    Orange Lulu
    Johnny W.

    A-1 service! Cool dude to deal with behind the counter. I ordered an Orange Lulu. Yum! Nice ambience inside the place. Not bad on a weekday. But good luck with parking in this plaza on a weekend. It's shared with other businesses.

    Deerioca Ube Puff
    Canice M.

    Bubble tea is my favourite drink (ever since I was little) and I have different stores I like to go to. With The Alley, my "go-to" drink is the Deerioca Ube Puff. The drink itself is sweet, made even sweeter with the custard and brown sugar boba. Unfortunately, this time, the boba was a bit tough - it felt like it could use 10 to 15 minutes more of cooking time to make it softer. The staff were friendly and efficient and I got my drink in no time. There's plenty of seating available inside, useful for if you want to have long chats and catch up with friends. Right up front by the door are two couches - perfect for those long conversations. While the boba could use some work, still would recommend this place to anyone who wants a sweet, handcrafted drink!

    Lovely space to relax and enjoy a good bbt

    I want it, I got it!! it's a known fact that I am crazy for taro balls! More so than tapiocas sometimes ! As soon as I saw the IG post about the new Taro Ball Series from @thealley.ca , I know I have to check it out SOON, VERY VERY SOON!! Without delay, on my way to pickup kids from school....YESSSSS... I got both to try out!! Hojicha Milk tea with Taro Balls ($6.75): Hojicha milk tea, chucks of taro and chewy taro balls. Topped with snow velvet (cheese form) and Hojicha powder! All ingredients in this drink are my favorite and I enjoyed so so much and savor every sip of it!! Green Milk tea with taro balls ($6.75): Jasmine green milk tea, chucks of taro and chewy taro balls. Topped with snow velvet (cheese form) and Hojicha powder! Green tea lover would totally fall in love with this drink! It's so heavenly! There is either a regular or extra sugar level to choose from, I opted for regular (I normally would pick 0% sugar if there is an option) for both drinks and not too sweet. I wish there were more taro balls and available in larger size as I didn't feel like I had enough of it! What's your fav bbt topping(S)? Do you prefer taro balls or tapiocas? Follow me on IG @eatntravelrepeat for more food adventures!!

    Stopped by the alley because I was craving their deerioca ube puff. While waiting in line, I noticed a new product, custard toast. The deerioca ube puff never disappoints. It's just the right amount of sweetness and the tapioca was soft and chewy. The custard toast one the other hand was a bit lacking. It is a regular toast with a thin layer of custard on it that honestly just tasted like sugar. However, for $2 I wasn't expecting that much. I don't think I would get the custard toast again.

    I have been to the Alley many times & have never had a bad drink. Their menu is pretty creative. I recently saw that they have a drink made with ube (purple yam) so had to try it. I got the deerioca ube taro (brown sugar tapioca with mashed taro and fresh milk topped with ube taro sauce). The drink was pretty good but my favorite part was the brown sugar tapioca. They always get the texture right & it's the perfect amount of sweetness. Best best part was that I got this drink for free using my reward points. It's free to join & you get one free drink for every 10 you buy.

    I don't think I ever will have a chance to try their Deerioca unless I come after 5 pm? But not everyone would like to have a caffeinated drink that late. I had been to a few location of The Alley but I felt that the staff here is the most impersonal ones: no greeting no thank you. Ample parking. This might be the location I would be visiting most often as the parking lot is never busy. Maybe I would be lucky next visit and Deerioca would be available?!

    Location/Service - Right at the intersection of Bur Oak and Kennedy. The bubble tea place is inside a plaza, so plenty of parking available - Inside has the same similar vibe/feel to other Alley locations, cafe/rustic/wooden feeling - There are few high tables, couches and tables available to seat and chat Drinks - Consistent with other locations, love their Deerioca and Iron Goddess Milk Tea - Deerioca has a good mix of brown sugar and caramel, especially when it's hot, it's comforting to taste - Iron Goddess with any topping at 50% sugar and less ice is the best combo. Refreshing to taste and love the smoothness of the tea I actually like this location a lot compared to others as it's more quiet and spacious. I've seen some come here to study, catch up and even play board games. Hope this continues to become a little gem!

    Finger/toe nail found in my Royal No. 9

    Wow the quality of this place dropped drastically. I had to wait 20 minutes for my Royal No. 9 tea. They ran out of milk tea so they decided to steep another batch for a mere few seconds and then serve it to people, which resulted in a very watered down drink. They also ran out of coffee jelly when it was so early in the day. After I got home and drank it, I found a disgusting finger or toe nail in my drink. I was already paranoid of drinking it after reading a Google review of a fly found in their drink so this just tops the cake. Disgusting unsanitary conditions.

    The Alley is still my favourite bubbletea chain. They may not have the chewiest Tapioca but the tea and flavours I think are the most unique. My recent favourite is the Snow Velvet Peach Hojicha drink which combines the strong roasted tea flavour with subtle sweetness from the Peach and a thick layer of cream on top. I like a lot of their other teas like the Assam Black, latte or just plain. They also have other retail products like nougat which are some nice additions.

    Love this location! It's very close and convenient to where i live. They make it right every time, not too sweet or not too bland. There is a large seating area with great modern decor and dimmed, relaxing lighting. It is very clean and welcoming. Service is very quick and efficient. There is always 1 person taking the order 2-3 people making drinks. Always have been my go to location! If you like milk teas, my top recommendations are their early grey milk tea, jasmine milk tea, and their royal 9. They all have such a strong tea taste and it goes down very milky and smooth. You may find a surprise with the royal 9 because it tastes a little different, it's not your typical milk tea. Definitely a must try!

    Tiramisu crunch bubble tea
    Asma H.

    I was craving bubble tea while on vacation in Richmond Hill and this truly hit the spot.I got the tiramisu crunch and it was amazing. The store was super trendy and exactly what I needed on a hot summer day. Highly recommend!

    Two people making drinks and one person taking orders.
    Harrison Z.

    Two weeks after coming here for the first time, my experience at The Alley was much better. The employee that took my drink order was nice and polite and greeted me with a "welcome to the alley". It's nice to see people still greet you even if it's a bbt shop. The drink was made pretty fast even when the guy in front of me ordered 4 items. I appreciated that they made my drink first knowing I only had one item. Overall not bad. Make sure to download their app so you can get points. Every drink is 10 points and 100 points is a free drink. 500 points you can get an umbrella.

    The Alley has just opened another location in Markham! This time right at Kennedy and Bur Oak - beside Pierre Elliot. I can imagine this location being super busy during lunch and after school hours. We ordered the Northern Lights and the Morning Dawn drinks from the Aurora Series as we've always wanted to try these super cool drinks. Not only are they very instagrammable, but super tasty and refreshing! Handcrafted with care, Northern Lights consists of layers of apple cider vinegar, grape juice, and butterfly pea tea. Morning Dawn is more of a tropical drink, made with jasmine tea, butterfly pea tea, and mango juice. Please note it does it does take at least 15 minutes to make each drink as each layer is carefully made by hand.

Located in the Domino's/Sleemon plaza at Kennedy & Hwy 7. I came to try this place after attending a yelp event nearby with my gf and friend. The cashier was very helpful and knowing that it was our first time at the store, quickly rattled off a couple of suggestions and recommendations to us. My friend and I settled on Li Bai imperial lychee green tea and marc chagall mango summer fruit tea. The names of the drinks are super extravagant and pretty goofy tbh. We googled most of the names and found that the drinks have actually been named after renowned world figures which is kinda quirky and cool I guess. Also the fruit teas all come in 1L size cups. Perfect once summer arrives. As for the quality of the tea, it was actually very good despite pineapple and mango not being in season, so I can only imagine that it will taste even better once the fruits are in season. My friends drink actually had chopped up lychee in it which was a nice touch. Price-wise they seem to be upper end. Like more than the Alley but less than Ten Rens. Would return!

I was craving my usual from Bourbon St. Grill and hit the food court. While heading downstairs after walking through mall entrance 3, I saw this Chicha San Chen store. I flagged it for a visit. After having a satisfying, casual meal at the food court, I returned to the second floor and walked over here to check out the drinks. It was almost as if this store knew that I like fruit and sparkling drinks. I saw a sign that said I could get two sparkling fruit drinks for $10. Three words: Sign me up! I got Kinson at the ordering area. He was great stepping me through everything. I let him know that this promotion interested me. He asked if I wanted one of each fruit flavour. Yes! My order consisted of the following: - Sparkling orange - Sparkling peach Each drink contains fruit, sparkling water, and konjac. I paid with a credit card. I tapped and I was done. He let me know that it wouldn't take long for my drinks to be made. The wait time wasn't much. The seating area had just cleared, so I could take photos of the branded throw pillows, various decorated bear figures holding tea cups in slings, and a wall celebrating a hundred years of tea love. It's my kind of tea joint. I stood next to looseleaf teas in mini containers. I smelled a number of them as I waited. They were so fragrant that I didn't want to leave! I love smelling these teas: - Cassia black - Dong ding oolong - Green - Black - Osmanthus oolong - High mountain pouchong My drinks came in one size. It seemed to be the case for all drinks on the menu. I like that you can customize your drink. There's a menu that steps you through it, from the type of tea that you want brewed, to the flavours and toppings that you want in it. If you find this method to be too complicated, it does have popular teas that are already configured, so you don't have to. I liked that I didn't have to fuss with my order. It was exactly what I wanted. My receipt had a number on it. Their system has an automated voice that calls out your order number. it was a nice change of pace. I could clearly hear my order number called out. I'm sure staff were happy to save their vocal cords, too. My drinks were on the counter. You can help yourself to a tray, which I did. My drinks looked good. What I should have done was sipped both before walking to my car. This place was so generous with the pour that my drinks were topped to the brim. One of my drinks did spill out a bit as I was about to go through the doors. Oops. I stopped to sip both of them. I was good! I got to my car and safely put my drinks down in my caddy. Just from sipping them, I loved the flavours so much. The orange one had slices of orange and chewy konjac. It was slightly sweet and fizzy. It was cheerful to drink. I had the orange slices, minus the peel, of course. Yum! The peach drink was equally as awesome. It was bubbly, with generous chunks of peach and konjac. It was fruity and chewy. So good! Both were so refreshing on a hot July evening. I'm glad that I got two drinks. I enjoyed my first two drinks from this tea place. I'll be back for more! (301)

Hana's Roulettea recently opened in Markham. It's located in a plaza that I frequent here and there. I like the Shoppers Drug Mart. Occasionally, I'll hit the No Frills, which this bubble tea store is closer to. A Yelp experience drew my attention to this business. The owner there recognized me from her first location, Hana's Tea, in Richmond Hill. It didn't cross my mind that Hana's Tea and Hana's Roulettea are owned by this woman until she explicitly made the connection for me. Well, I know now! It was nice that she recognized me. I was a regular customer getting macarons and a tea on Tuesdays in Richmond Hill for weeks last year. I brought the former into the office the following day. The latter was for my immediately consumption and happiness. There's lot of parking in this plaza. I have never had any issues finding a parking spot. I got these items at the Yelp experience: - Peachy peach tea - Yuzu macaron I like fizzy ade drinks. This place has them. I also like the fruit teas. I settled for the peachy peach tea. I got it with 30% sugar and regular ice. I didn't want yakult on top, but you can add it if that's your thing. I loved my peachy peach tea. It was cold and yummy with the popping peach boba. I loved the ripe peach taste. It hit the spot on a 34-degree Celsius day. I have been a fan of Hana's macarons since the beginning. The yuzu had a nice citrusy flavour. The macaron shells were crispy and chewy where they should be. It was nice to enjoy one again. The menus are similar at both locations. The chicken gyoza are on the menu. They are awesome! There were tables to sit down, and enjoy your food and drink, similar to the other location. This place feels more spacious and relaxed. I am thrilled that this location exists. As much as I love Hana's Tea in Richmond Hill, this location is so much closer to me. Last Tuesday, I returned to get six macarons: - Salted caramel - Royal milk tea - Mango I brought them to work to share. They were a hit. Staff were friendly the two times that I have dropped by. I'll be back for more. (280)

    They have a wide variety of fruity vs milky drinks. The barista is well knowledged and patient in…read morelistening to our preferences when we couldn't decide what we wanted. I appreciate their wintermelon options as not many bubble tea shops offer them. This is a cute shop. They have sections similar to a consignment or pop shops. You can buy jewellery, accessories, tea related items, handmade cookies, etc. While sipping on your bubble tea. Very creative and great way to support local. However, this space does take away some seating options. If you're looking to sip and tap, if the weather is nice out, I'd recommend taking your bubble tea to one of the 3 nearby parks within walking distance.

    I was in the area and wanted a drink, so I decided to revisit YGO Lab. I think it's safe to say…read morethat I will not be coming back here unless I'm really desperate for a drink. I tried their Osmanthus Honey Americano and it was terrible. Knowing that there was honey in the drink, I asked for 0% sugar. The drink was incredibly sweet and I feel like I would get diabetes if I left the drink at 100% sugar. The osmanthus flavour and americano did not pair well together. I love flavoured americanos, but this has got to be the worst flavour combination that I've ever experienced. There were osmanthus flowers at the bottom of the drink - I was not a fan of the texture. I couldn't bring myself to finish the drink. There was only one staff working in the afternoon and they weren't busy, so they're a one-woman show (taking the drink order and then going to the back to make it). The wait wasn't long as the woman was efficient. I see other people giving good ratings and maybe it's because we're getting different drinks, but my experiences are vastly different than theirs. I generally don't go for fruit teas and my preference is milk teas and coffee-based drinks. This is not the place for those drinks and I'm sad that I wasted two drinks worth of money to experience less than mediocrity.
