The Alley was popularized by a Korean drama with Lee Minh Ho. I'm not a huge boba fan, so the drinks were ok to me but their boba is chewy and tastier than other boba.My brother likes to add a splash of Hennessey to his royal tea.Was told this is the only location in the Bay Area. Yes, one in Elk Grove but that's not the Bay.
The boba pearls are a 10/10, tea is decent and not too sweet. Royal Milk Tea with less ice became very watery after 30 minutes. More affordable than most of the other boba joints around campus, but some drinks seem overly expensive. Wait time can be horrendous, but inside seating is comfortable and spacious.
