    The Alley Boba Tea & Coffee
    Karen V.

    It's an awesome Taiwanese boba & coffee shop that opened about 9 months ago at the Shops of Wiregrass. I was so happy to finally experience it. I love that it's has a good amount of seating. The décor is modern and clean. The Deerioca plushie cushions along the wall in the seating area are so cute. The drinks are unique. They also offer snacks such as crab rangoons and croffles. The service was pleasant & professional. We were greeted as soon as we entered. Surprisingly, it wasn't that busy on a summer weekday. The Ube Brown Sugar Deerioca Crème Brûlée Milk Tea was delicious! Their signature Deerioca tapioca balls are sweeter (more sugar than honey) than ones I've had at other shops. The crème brûlée is mixed into the drink. Keep that in mind if you have issues with texture. It's more of a clumpy pudding texture than a whipped one. Not a bad thing, but some may not agree. The drink can be customized to your liking. On the other hand, I wasn't too impressed with the Matcha Croffle. The buttery taste that makes these croffles so good was totally nonexistent. I didn't even taste the matcha even though it was sprinkled on top. It's just my opinion, and nothing more. I'd skip the croffle next time, or try another flavor. Otherwise, it was okay for an average waffle. The subtle Harry Potter references are very cool. I've read that the owner is a big Harry Potter fan. Supposedly, the original name of the brand was "Diagon Alley" but was later shortened. If you look real closely at the logo, you'll see the "da" in it. It could stand for anything at this point. I don't know... maybe it's a coincidence that there is a deer in the logo that could be Harry's stag patronus. Either way, there is a definite reference even if it is subtle. It's kind of like finding a hidden Mickey, maybe? Just take a closer look at that boba cup the next time you're there. I'm looking forward to trying more of their unique drinks. It's the perfect stop while shopping at this outdoor mall in the summer heat.

    Located in Wiregrass mall, it's one of the few cafes in the area that focuses on milk and fruit teas. The menu is limited but likely to focus on specific items. I have tried both the Ube Brown Sugar Deerioca Crème Brûlée milk tea and the Strawberry Green tea. The crème brûlée is an acquired taste because of it has a thicker texture. So if you are a "texture person", may not be the drink for you. The strawberry green tea is more traditional but slightly sweet. I really liked it and would get it again. Drinks here are a bit pricey but the size of the drinks are larger so it may be bang for your buck.

    I was so surprised the Alley opened up a location in Wesley Chapel of all places. But this is a welcome addition to the boba scene. Super spacious and cute interior, perfect for group gatherings. The boba was solid, with lots of different drink options and toppings that you can choose from. Will definitely drop by again if I'm in the area :)

    I've been to The Alley on the west coast and it's always been my favorite boba spot to go to, so I'm glad there was one that opened here! Same vibe, clean space and delicious boba. The interior is clean with an open space, and the workers were friendly. I got the Ube crème brûlée with boba and egg pudding. It's not too sweet. The boba is chewy and it's very creamy. I'm a huge fan!

    Craving bubble tea on a Sunday evening, we decided to visit The Alley, a newly opened bubble tea spot in our area. Luckily, we found roadside parking right in front of the store. The atmosphere was good, with people relaxing and enjoying their drinks inside. From the menu options, we ordered a Thai Milk Tea and a Deerioca Crème Brûlée Cold Brew. The service was quick, and our drinks were prepared just as we requested--with less sugar and great flavor. Both drinks were refreshing and delicious, making for a good bubble tea experience.

    Popped in while I was shopping the mall because who can say no to boba? Decided to go with one of the top 5 recommended on the menu: ube brown sugar deerioca milk tea. It was delicious, but a little too sweet for me personally. I would come back and try some of the other flavors and drink options listed on the menu. The staff made the drink super quick; less than a 5 minute wait time. The ambiance is chill vibes. It'd be a good place to sit and have a conversation while enjoying your drink.

    the drinks sucked it tasted like stomach acid. service is okay they were nice. the ambiance was also cute. half of the popular picks on the menu (drinks) it looked good on picture but in person it looks like a bunch of vomit. i don't recommend at all if u don't want to feel nauseous or have a stomach ache.

    Matcha Croffle
    Kristina S.

    I decided to come here after seeing all the great reviews. We were greeted once we walked in the door and the service staff were great. The decor was cute and inviting. I had the passion fruit green tea without boba or jelly and the matcha croffle. I enjoyed both items the tea was full of passion fruit flavor and wasn't watered down like most tea shops. The matcha croffle was a nice light flaky dessert not too sweet but just right.

    We came in after dinner and I was surprised they weren't busy but it worked out great. Honestly I can't get enough of these teas. The Ube deerioca is just soo good! The ube flavor is subtle the texture of the flan is perfect and the boba adds another dimension I love it. We tried the brown sugar milk tea as well and we liked it but wasn't a fan of the flan in this one but still pretty good. And of course I couldn't leave without a croffle if you haven't tried it yet you should.

    Get excited! The new boba shop in Wesley Chapel is now open at Wiregrass Mall. They opened yesterday for their soft opening. Their Grand Opening is this Saturday, September 21, 2024. They will have a raffle with Grand prizes including MacBook and AirPods. Their location: Where Pholicious was near Verizon, Dillards, & Yamato all on the same side. For their first day, they had their brown sugar drinks - 6 options. I picked out the Ube Brown sugar creme brûlée milk tea. The flavors were very vibrant, and I could distinctly taste everything. My fave was the boba and I was sad when it was gone. You can choose your sweetness preference. They also make their our tapioca boba, and use real cane sugar. Happy that they are open here. I feel like we need more boba options in the area. And this one has locations all over the United States and World. Service was friendly and quick. Ambiance is airy and clean with several tables, a community table and two cushy chairs in the back. Restroom is also in the back. I can't wait to try their other drinks like their Snow Strawberry and Lychee Yogurt. For their Grand Opening, the whole menu is available, but this week every day they will offer more gradually each day.

    Went for their grand opening today (09/21) and it was great! They decorated the space really well and have a good setup. It is nice and open with cute decorations and plenty of space for people to hang out. There was a long line (due to it being the grand opening) but they completed the orders in a timely manner while keeping up with the professionalism and kindness. They have an extensive menu with a variety of drinks. We got the Alley Trio Milk Tea and Deerioca Creme Brûlée Cold Brew. The Alley Trio Milk Tea was a black milk tea with boba, lychee coco, and pineapple jelly - it was good but I feel like the jelly and coco flavors overpowered the milk tea because the milk tea tasted a bit tart. I personally would have preferred a milk pudding or egg pudding instead of the jellies. The Creme Brûlée Cold Brew, however, was perfect. The boba and the Creme brûlée (which tasted more like milk pudding to me) paired perfectly with the milky coffee flavor of the cold brew. The boba in both drinks were also cooked to perfection, with the right amount of sweetness and chewiness. I would definitely come back and try their other drinks, like the Royal No. 9 Milk Tea, which is one of their popular drinks. I highly recommend giving them a try if you're in the Wesley Chapel area!

    Very clean space and easy to order online. I tried the Ube Brown Sugar Deerioca Creme Brulee milk tea. It was a great combination of flavors and the right amount of sweet.

    Purple rice yogurt

    Finally tried this place. We ordered a purple rice yogurt and it was decent. A little sweet and icy to my liking. It's in an big outdoor area so parking might be a little tricky. Will be back to try other things for sure.

Tasty, a bit sweet for me but still enjoyed it. My friend had the Pandan latte. She loved it. I tasted more coffee than Pandan. This place is so popular and is a must stop for these fun flavor matchas and lattes. It's just too cramped for me. I want to enjoy my drink with friends with less echoes and hear less of others conversations. I do like this place and perhaps it's just a pick up a drink and go kinda place if I do see it pretty packed. It was a Friday day, not a weekend visit.

Bottom line you aren't getting what is advertised and they should advise you of the upcharges before committing. A few sips and I was done and disappointed. The shop is at the tail end of Wiregrass Mall right in front of Dillards. Couch and 6 tables to sit at inside. Outside are three tables with umbrellas and metal chairs.
