A Must-Try Boba Experience at The Alley – Spectrum Location
If you're a boba lover or even just curious about trying something new, The Alley at the Spectrum is the place to go! Every drink I’ve tried from here has been absolutely top-notch — rich in flavor, perfectly balanced sweetness, and that signature handcrafted touch that sets them apart.
Their Brown Sugar Deerioca Milk is a personal favorite — warm, velvety, and just the right amount of sweet with chewy boba pearls that are cooked to perfection. You can tell they put effort into both the ingredients and the presentation. Even their fruit teas are refreshing and packed with flavor, never watered down like other places.
The store itself is super clean and aesthetic, and the staff is always friendly, helpful, and quick. It’s clear they take pride in their drinks and in making sure customers leave happy.
If you’re at the Spectrum, don’t miss out on The Alley. It's more than just a boba shop — it’s an experience. 🧋💛
Let me know if you'd like a shorter version or one that includes your own favorite drink!

Amazing boba and service must try if stopping by!!!!
Stopped by earlier this month on a Saturday, and boy was it PACKED. I highly suggest ordering for pickup to speed up the process. Regardless, it didn't take too long to get the order (just super busy inside), even with only ~3-4 people working.
I got the peach tea drink with boba. It was decent for a boba shop at the mall. However, being in Irvine and at The Alley, I was expecting a little more.
I think if I was really craving a boba at the mall, I would come again.

Love the boba here.. I usually come after all my business lunches and get a nice dessert like drink. Mango and coconut milk and the passion fruit tea is so awesome! It's really really good

I have been here a few times, and my go-to is the snow strawberry lulu with boba. It has been consistent in its flavor. On my last visit, Melvin was accommodating and quickly resolved our issue even while the store was busy. I can vouch for their excellent customer service :)
Great place. Always love it. The best boba around! Always friendly and quick service. A little further away from me so I don’t come as often as I’d like, but I try to get it whenever I’m in the area. Good even left in the fridge the next day.
