Good try.The first bubble shop I’ve ever tried after these few months. The staff there was really nice and i surprised that she can speak mandarin !! 👍 the staff is patient and gave me good service because i was standing there to choose the drink around 5 mins 😂 I kept this drink for like 3 hours but is still fresh. The decorations in the store is nice tho

Would have given it 5 star, I'm a huge fan of the drinks offered here, been a regular since the shop open and still do. The tea quality is consistant and one of the best which is why I brought so many of my friends to try this place out, they all loved it. The downside however, is the service. Sometime the service is great, attentive and caring, sometime its the worse I've seen.
Especially today afternoon, the cashier/staff at the counter is extremely rude to all the customer, I've been thinking that she was rude to the customer at the front of the line, and the next, and the next while I was at the end of the line hoping that I would pass through her without injuring myself...
she monotoned throughout her service, no smile, intimidating, rushing, overconfident and most of all doesn't know the menu. What's worse, she argued saying she was right without double checking.
Ordered brown sugar deerioca tea today, she looked at me with a wtf face and said we dont have it if you want brown sugar pearl we only do fresh milk, if you want milk tea then we dont do brown sugar pearl, I replied saying I had been ordering it all the time, she said no never, we dont have it, its never on the menu.
Come on..I've been to this place since it open, they got it recently, I would not have made it up unless I saw a huge ... poster/advertisement of this brown sugar milk tea in this particular shop few months ago. We argued for a while and she kept saying we dont have it! We never have it! I was pissed...... at the end I decided to order chocolate deerioca since I cannot cope with this anymore.....
Please...at least check with your crewmate or something before arguing with a customer with confidence and in such a rude tone.
I would still come to this place due to its product and next time, I will show this image if someone on the counter said no again....
For reference, photo from The Alley of LujiaoXiang, lonsdale street.
5 stars for their deerioca!!
4 stars for service
1 star for today's service since at the end she speaks in a nicer tone.
Omg this place was great in Maribyrnong (with a queue when it first opened) but now that it has settled down and there is a branch in the CBD, I'm happy!!
I always get the brown sugar fresh milk tea here as the pearls were really soft and chewy and the taste of the brown sugar in fresh milk is super nice. You can also stir it for a lighter flavour, which is good for someone who don't really like it too sweet.
The Alley LuJiaoXiang QV – Rating 5
I decided to try the Signature Brown Sugar Deerioca for my first Alley experience. Though the pearls were soft yet chewy and the fresh milk created a creamy taste, I didn’t particularly enjoy it. Felt like I was drinking sweet milk even after mixing, was ashamed that they don’t offer customised sugar levels.
The store presentation was beautiful with a couple of seats for customer to enjoy and the staff were very nice, hence I decided to try something else on their menu a few weeks later. I also tried Royal No 9. Milk Tea and added pearl toppings. I highly recommend this drink, the aroma of the tea was distinct, plus the texture of the pearls makes this drink something to crave for. Hence now I frequently order this drink whenever I visit Alley.
Had the brown sugar and milk deerioca and it was really nice and creamy. The service was good and we liked the drink. Might be better if we can control the ice and sugar levels of the drink as I prefer it to be less sweet.
Always go for Brown Sugar Deerioca & Fresh Milk. Their sweetness is just right for me, and the texture of bubble is also great.
The drink was perfect for my liking. The little happiness was a combination of the signature brown sugar pearls, milk tea, smash taro and red bean. The pearls n smash was perfect which elevated the drink to the next level.
The red bean was not super perfect but It is improvable !!
Overall, this place is one of the most recommended place for bubble tea
Brown Sugar Deerioca & Fresh Milk [Limited Daily]
If you like boba and have a sweet tooth, I’d definitely recommend trying this drink out! The ratio between the pearls and fresh milk is the ideal balance you need to have in any boba drink. The brown sugar provides a stark contrast with its fragrant and flavourful characteristics against the smooth and silky milk.
Two cons I would say would be that you can’t customise the amount of brown sugar added into your drink, as the shop must follow the standard amount and the price for the size you get. This sort of drink isn’t recommended for those who are not big fans of sweets.

This is great! It’s very popular for the brown sugar fresh milk. It’s a little bit more expensive compared to other places but it’s quite worth it.
I am not a massive milk tea fun but I have to give it to Ally Lu Jiao Xiang. Never had the pearl that fresh and tasty. I had the brown sugar creme brûlée fresh milk one, beautiful flavour. Too much ice tho they don't let you go little ice. But its only for this drink, other brown sugar drinks can change ice and sugar level. Had to wait a bit in the line but its worth it!

Thumbs up.
Too many bubble tea shop everywhere but this one is impressive for me. I ordered their popular brown sugar & fresh milk.
It's recommended not to mix it but I mixed it anyway as I prefer it that way. The pearls were very soft and chewy. The best part is the pearls absorb the brown sugar syrup so it’s sweet too.
Price is reasonable. We will be sure to visit again. Cheers

Had their signature brown sugar and milk deerioca. It was really nice, the brown sugar had a littlr burnt smell, like burnt sugar on top of a creme brulee. The only downside is that they dont let you change the ice and sugar level.
4.5
Hyped bubble tea store.
The place is cute and cosy, though there were only a few seats. The staffs were friendly and the drink didn't take long.
Got the brown sugar deerioca & creme brulee fresh milk. There is no modification available which is a bit sad but it was the perfect amount of sweet and ice for me. The sweet came completely from the boba and I really like the flavour of the brown sugar, the boba was also perfectly soft and chewy. The milk wasn't at all sweet, but after you mix them up it gets tad bit sweeter, though if you drink only the milk it still won't be as sweet as other milk teas, but together it was yumsies.
Overall a unique tasting bubble milk tea worth a try!

🥤Early Grey milk tea with "deerioca" (tapioca) pearls. Marketing gone overboard I can't believe they tried to brand their tapioca pearls 😂
🍶Brown sugar fresh milk with deerioca pearls. Pretty nice but make sure to mix it or else the top just tastes like milk and the bottom is hella sweet. Pearls were the highlight as strong brown sugar taste and just enough bite. Worth the hype? Nah I think I'd prefer a pearl milk tea anyday
I have tried a few bubble tea in Melbourne but I must say this the best so far! The pearls are soft chewy and nice to chew yum! 😍 Today we ordered the brown sugar milktea with pearls less sweet and less ice 👍
The Alley always seem to have a line every time I go. I loves the range of milk teas, teas and fruit teas. I love the exotic designs they have. I haven’t tried many of their options but I loved their ginger milk tea.
My favourite drink is their brown sugar fresh milk. It so beautiful and delicious, probably the best brown sugar fresh milk I ever had.
I don’t come here often due to waiting, but service definitely runs smoothly. The drinks can be a bit pricey but definitely worth the price for good bubble tea.
To be honest, I never knew the franchise opened up in the city until a few months ago when a friend took me there. All I knew about this particular brand of milk tea was the fact that they were known for their fresh milk with brown sugar. Being a fan of matcha, I purchased the matcha milk tea with brown sugar and to be honest, I couldn't really tell much of a difference between the same drink at Gotcha.
The queue to purchase AND wait for the milk tea to be made was rather long so I personally, would not bother again if there was a line that long again when I could go to Gotcha and wait half the time that I did at this store.
However, I concede that there are other drinks on offer at The Alley that I have not tried so I would come visit again to try another one of their specialities (if the queue is relatively small).
Food: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Service: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Price: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I just tried today and I wasn’t expecting something much because usually milk teas are similar. But this one here was incredible good and tasty! It was sweet and the pearls are amazing! I just love it so much and I truly recommend.
The place is small and cozy and it doesn’t look like a tea shop! There was a huge line when I got there and I can understand why all the hype.
Came here to try their brown sugar fresh milk tea.. as you can tell from the photo the brown sugar to pearl proportionate to the drink is quite a lot.. the main thing with this drink is to savior the brown sugar and you can really taste the brown sugar in it.. the pearls are also very chewy & it was definitely a texture that I would prefer.. I am quite happy that they opened up a store in cbd but I would think that this wouldn’t be the last one..

The Alley LuJiaoXiang originates from Taiwan and is a great addition to milk tea chain in Melbourne CBD.
They make their own pearls, called Deerioca ( which is their own trademarked fancy word for Tapioca), it is sweet and has brown sugar in it. The Deerioca is cooked in brown sugar lava for a few hours which makes them very soft and chewy with a distinct sweet flavour! Yummy!!
I have been here multiple times in the past 6 months and for some reason have forgotten to write a review. So here it is.
🔆LOCATION🔆
Opening up late last year 2018, The Alley is located on Lonsdale Street, outside the QV building; closer to the corner of Russell Street.
The shop is of a decent size, with some seats, and window facing bench top. As you walk in you see a large deer painted on the wall - significant to their branding.
There is also a bench seat at the end of the shop which allows customers to sit to wait for their order.
🔆SERVICE🔆
The customer service has been great the past couple of times that I have been. They have an app system which you can accumulate points based on drinks you have ordered. My most recent visit, I forgot to scan it before paying for the order, however the staff were very nice and said they could add it later to my membership and would take a few days for it to come through! I was very apologetic in forgetting, but also the lady that took my order also forgot to ask me as well. So It was very nice they were able to accommodate this!
🔆MENU/PRICE🔆
The Alleys best selling drink is their Brown Sugar Deerica series and I love it! Its soo yummy.
This time I ordered:
Brown Sugar Deerioca Fresh Milk Tea, $6.60
Original Brew Tea - Royal Number 9 Black Tea, $5.20, upsized to a large for extra $1.00
🔆VERDICT🔆
Although some people may think that for a standard milk tea $6.60 is a bit pricey but also bear in mind it also includes the pearls aka Deerica. Many other Milk tea chains have the pearls as an additional add on price of 70 cents or $1.00, so if you factor that in the price at The Alley is actually quite reasonable. Also, their pearls are homemade and tastes quite different to other pearl toppings.
The amount of pearls they put into the drink is quite alot and you can actually get full in no time.
I especially enjoy their Brown Sugar Deerioca Fresh Milk Tea, it really lives up to their signature drink. I always go back and order it 😀
Love the atmosphere and the store! Customer service is prompt, friendly and sweet! The bosses are nice too :)
The creme brûlée brown sugar deerioca is my favourite! A must try if you’re nearby!
Ordered the Brown sugar deerioca creme brulee & fresh milk and I like it. It is creamy and sweet that is different from other milk teas. Would love to try their other bestsellers next time.
Definitely my favourite Matcha latte boba! Matcha latte is always consistent, never powdery like some other shops. Their brown sugar pearls are always cooked till perfection. Just too bad you can’t adjust the ice & sugar level for the brown sugar series, but maybe thats how they maintain the quality. Love their brown sugar + fresh milk too!
Easy and efficient ordering process.
However because it's quite a popular joint, be prepared to wait.
I ordered the #1 brown sugar with fresh milk.
The pearls and brown sugar were sweet like caramel, and perfectly chewy. The whole drink is remeniscent of a creme brulee.
Forget about smashed avocado sending millennials broke.
One regular cup will set you back $6.60.
I did enjoy my drink, but due to the sugar and price, it's a once in a while treat.
The matcha was so nice!! They recommend not to shake it but i shake it anyway *myhabit😂* so it tastes less sweet. But can imagine if you’re not shake it it’s gonna be so nice! The bobba was my favourite since it’s so sweet till your last bite. Even though it’s slightly expensive then other place, worth to eat sometimes.
Always order the Royal No.9 black milk tea from here. Sooooo fragrant and unique. I often get little sugar so it's very mild and refreshing. Whenever I feel like something different from normal bubble tea, I always go to Alley and get this one.
Service is prompt and staff are nice and friendly. Very small shop, has a few seats but is better for takeaway to be honest.
Ordered the brown sugar milk which they are supposed to be famous for. It was quite expensive at the price of $6.60 for a small cup. The drink was delicious though - the milk was creamy and fresh and the brown sugar caramel was not overly sweet. The pearls were also soft yet chewy at the same time. The best brown sugar milk I have had so far in Melbourne.
I am personally not a big fan of milk brown sugar drinks as I dont take much fresh milk in general. However as my friends rave about this place I decided to give the matcha one a try. To my surprised it is not as sweet which is totally my style.
Have had at The Alley LuJiaoXiang couple of times. Have found the place to be always busy. You can find decent food with decent portion sizes at good prices. Customer service (in busy times) has a scope of improvement. Won't mind going in for a quick lunch again.
在国内很有名的奶茶店出现在了猫本CBD大晚上的不顾卡路里就来了。点了top4的三巷奶茶（三项之力。。？）因为top前三在国内已经尝试过了。喝了之后，Emmmm.... 真的挺令人失望的，奶茶味儿并不是很好喝（跟city别家奶茶店相比），但里面的料还是挺足，珍珠黑钻椰果。所以，建议大家还是点不会踩雷的top3吧。。。

Easi is doing nothing to help me wane my addiction for bubble tea. I found another $5 off voucher, this time for The Alley LuJiaoXiang and of course, this was too good to pass up.
Having previously tried and enjoyed their drinks from their original shop in Highpoint, I had high expectations for what was to come. Further my friends have spoke highly of the drinks here too. Well, all I have to say is "expectations met!".
The brown sugar pearls with matcha latte was a match made in heaven. The slight bitterness of the matcha latte and the caramelised sweetness of the brown sugar pearls worked together like yin and yang, completing each other yet offsetting each other. The texture of the pearls were a textbook example of how pearls should be cooked - chewy, bouncy and a balance between soft and firm.
The Little Happiness Milk Tea which was milk tea with mashed taro, red beans and pearls were tasty too, although the abundance of toppings overpowered the flavour of the milk tea. The pearls outnumbered the mashed taro and red beans, which I personally would have preferred more of.
Nevertheless, I'm now convinced that The Alley is not a one hit wonder and my bubble tea needs can definitely be satisfied here.

I have had the milk w brown sugar deerioca twice in the past & really enjoyed it which was why i decided to bring my friend (who came down from Sydney) to the store. Unfortunately, when I went down with my friend on Good Friday, it was really disappointing as the taste of the brown sugar was rather mild.
For the next drink, I accidentally ordered the peach oolong tea although I intended to have the snow velvet series. The staff told me that I could change it if I topped up another dollar, which I did. However, I then saw another staff member (who looked really unhappy about it) pour 1/2 of the tea from the original cup (which already had ice) into another cup & added even more ice till it was 3/4 full, following which she added just a few spoonfuls of foam. The tea turned out to be really diluted probably due to the amount of ice added in (although we had specifically requested for little ice).
Will not recommend the peach oolong tea or going to alley on a public holiday. It was a very underwhelming experience for both my friend and I.
Located along Lonsdale Street at QV Melbourne, the Alley LuJiaoXiang is famous for its signature brown sugar deerioca series.
I ordered the regular brown sugar deerioca & fresh milk. The pearls were chewy, soft and quite sweet from the brown sugar. Unlike other drinks the sugar level is fixed and can not be adjusted,
however the fresh milk balances out the sweetness of the brown sugar. I found it more enjoyable and balanced after mixing the milk with the pearls and brown sugar.
Overall I really enjoyed my drink and would order it again. I rate the Alley LuJiaoXiang 4.5 ⭐️ out of 5.
I feel like their milk teas are quite average, but where they really shine in is their Brown Sugar Fresh Milk! So so yum. They’re also quite generous with the amount of pearls given - personally a bit too much for me. It’s quite pricey so I only have it on the rare occasion.
The Alley is finally here in Melbourne CBD! I used to drove to high point to get one of these. Although they are famous for the brown sugar range, my absolute favorite from this store is garden milk tea (Orea milk tea). The way they presented this drink is like a layer of soil on top of the milk tea! Will come back for more!!
Been there twice. Drinks were great and will definitely visit them again!
The signature brown sugar drink series is a must to try, but if you’re looking after fruity taste then the Aurora series is the one for you
Located qv centre , firstly the customer service is great . Secondly , I tried the cocoa tea and brown sugar bubble tea , omg the cocoa tea with bubble really great tasty thumbs up , price is reasonable. Sure will visit again . Cheers
The Alley has become my go-to bubble tea joint ever since my first time trying their Signature Brown Sugar Deerioca & Fresh Milk early this year! Some people think that it’s way too plain because they use fresh milk instead of milk tea, but I think fresh milk is the best option for the drink because it balances out the sweetness of the brown sugar syrup and the boba.
My personal favorite and recommendation is the Brown Sugar Deerioca & Crème Brulee Fresh Milk. The crème brulee makes the texture of the drink creamier and just all the better! 💛
Saw this place on Zomato and decided to give it a try as I was craving for some bubble tea. I tried the Little Happiness Milk Tea which is Jasmine Milk Tea with Deericoca(tapioca pearls), red bean and taro. It comes in a fancy cup but looks smaller than your normal bubble tea cups. Unlike some other bubble teas, I could actually taste the tea which was a big tick for me. The taro in the other hand... was just a glob of mush. Not quite sure why it was there. The pearls were oh so yummy and chewy. It was pretty much perfect in terms of texture and sweetness. The overall sweetness was also just right. Will definitely come back again to try the other drinks on the menu.
Really aesthetic place! Tried the creme brûlée milk tea and it was really good, so different to other milk tea places. You can really tell they use a rich and creamy milk. Warm pearls mixed with the cold milk, amazing!
The Alley is a premium bubble tea joint that’s Instagram famous all over Asia. Their most popular drinks are the Signature Brown Sugar Deerioca Series, and it’s a MUST TRY!
The brown sugar syrup is served warm with the cold milk, and it pairs perfectly together. It’s recommended not to mix it, so you can taste the enhanced flavour and aroma of the brown sugar syrup which is heavenly. The pearls are by far some of the best I’ve had. They’re the perfect consistency - soft, chewy and so satisfyingly warm. The pearls absorb the brown sugar syrup so it’s also sweet.
Sometimes, you have to be careful to portion out the brown sugar to milk when your drinking - as it’s easy to drink all the syrup before the milk (and then you’re left with plain milk which isn’t that pleasant). Furthermore, a regular size (500mL) will cost you $6.6, which is quite pricey for a drink. Of course, its reflected in the quality and flavour - but it’s not something I’d get on a regular basis.
Finally got the chance to follow the hype of this recently opened store in Lonsdale St in QV Center. Trying their infamous Signature Brown Sugar Deerioca with fresh milk ($ 6.60) following the wave of “latest trend in Taiwan and Hong Kong”. This series not allowing you to adjust the ice and sugar level since it is pretty much standardised.
The signature brown sugar milk tea is AMAZING! Very creamy and sweet... the pearls were very chewy!!! Overall really good. Need more chairs though, there were not many tables
Super super insta-aesthetic!!
The service was fast and efficient
Ordered the brown sugar, deerioca and fresh milk.
Staff told me not to mix the drink. At first I thought it was kind of odd but then a friend told me that if u mixed the brown sugar together, you wouldn’t get the warm and sweet flavour of the warm brown sugar pearls.
The sugar is delicious, doesn’t taste artificial and feels super classical.
The medium size was $6.60 so it’s definitely a bit more on the pricier end however, I recommend everyone to give it a try ( except if you’re lactose intolerant )
Brown Sugar Deeriocca series is one of my best drink list to go to in melbourne. The pearl (or what we usually call bobba) was the best !this drink that i ordered was in the fixed amount (so you can not order less ice or less sugar),however.. it was really good and perfect balance of everything. I can said that everything is 100. Im not a fan of “too sweet or too much ice” but this drink was legend! Very recommended to try.. i’ll be back for sure!!

I decided to try the alley lujiaoxiang after seeing pictures all over my instagram. The milk tea packaging is very aesthetic (for small one).
Perfectly sweet and chewy bubble.
Had seen this brand in Korea and wanted to try it for a while. The regular sizes are adorable and round bois while the milk they use is particularly smooth and tastes fresh! Had a creme brulee tea and a matcha tea. Would recommend both!
Popped by this relatively new bubble tea place to give it a try. I ordered the brown sugar matcha latte. I wasn't able to change the sugar levels in the drink since the staff said sugar was preset, however that was fine as the drink wasn't too sweet. The staff recommended not to shake the drink but i would recommend otherwise, if not it's going to be too sweet at the bottom. The pearls were nice and chewy.
$6.90 for a small/regular size brown milk tea which a bit expensive compare to other bubble tea shop. However the pearl taste soooooooooo good! Not a big fan of bubble tea but this one is exceptional!! :)
Delicious, different from what we are used to but weren’t disappointed. Our new go to bubble tea place!
We tried the signature fresh milk and matcha latte.
Pretty busy but line moved quickly.
Friendly staff who advised not to mix the tea.
The bubbles although very sweet were yummy and had a warm and chewy texture.
The matcha was quite bitter, so I stirred it a little which was more pleasant and distributed the bitter/sweetness.
One of the fancier bubble tea joints out there, renowned for their signature brown sugar deerioca series. What is deerioca you ask? It's The Alley's way of calling them pearls.
They pull you in with their aesthetically pleasing bubble teas, my matcha latte had several layers, all of which had no sugar except for the pearls. I drink from top to bottom, unmistakable bitter matcha flavour and when you hit the bottom, the brown sugar sweetness kicks in from the pearls.
I was instructed not to stir it so for the most part I didn't, I found the bottom too sweet for my preference and had to distribute the sweetness by moving the straw up and down. I did eventually give it a bit of a mix which solved that issue. The pearl texture was fantastic however, really smooth and bouncy.
Not sold on the idea yet, might keep it simple for now and go for the occasional cheese fruit tea. On the pricier scale for bubble tea so not sure about making it my go to.
Can’t fault the brown sugar milk tea. The signature drink of this outlet. Had our subtle asian meet up drinks there. Awesome places and usually busy. For more foodie goodness follow my ig: emptystomach
Very famous and popular milk tea in China, it is finally come in Melbourne city! Love the brown sugar original milk tea also matcha latte is taste good! You have to try both! Location is good close to QV.
I already tried 3 out of 4 of their signature brown sugar series and here is my thought
The Alley has the perfect version of Brown Sugar with Fresh Milk drink in my opinion. It has the right amount of sweetness from the syrup and the right amount of richness from milk. Highly recommend the Brown Sugar with Fresh Milk 👍🏻
The matcha one is quite disappointing. I can barely taste the matcha or the milk, just a weird combination that I don’t like haha. Also, the pearls are not as good as the one in the Brown Sugar with Fresh Milk that I purchased on a different day (I’m talking about the quality consistency in the pearls).
The last one is the Cream Brulee. It is very very rich. I think that’s why this drink only comes in regular size 😂 This is the drink for you if you like something rich (like heavy cream).
Overall, this is the place that milk tea lovers should visit at least once (&try the Brown Sugar with Fresh Milk). I will definitely go back here again and again 🥰
The alley lujiaoxiang at QV centre. It is so popular in China this year and cannot even buy one in Shanghai due to the long queue. Personally I am not a big fan but it is not that long queue in QV thus I decided to have a try. I ordered the iced NO 1 black sugar milk tea and honestly it is not bad, definitely a good milk tea to try
Brown sugar series are the best. Well, first of all they tasted different than other bubble teas around here (I like the matcha and fresh milk ones). Second, they’re not that sweet which is really great. Third, the bubbles are soft but chewy enough. Worth the hype 👍🏼
New Chinese Stream Tea shop open in QV. The name is cool but I thought it should be black sugar instead of Brown Sugar. The oolong tea tastes great with peach flavor. But popular milk tea is too sweet.
The aurora is so popular in China but here is unavailable for this moment. Hope coming back soon.
5-Star service. The staff was extremely friendly and down to earth. I am a big fan of Crème Brûlée series however, I find their version has too much cream on it. The menu is diverse and innovative. The Aurora series look and sound quite promising, can’t wait to try it next time.
My favourite place to go for Brown Sugar Fresh Milk cause until now i haven’t found any other place with milk as creamy as theirs, their boba is very chewy as well. My other favourites from here are Jasmine Milk Tea and Snow Strawberry Lulu if i want something more refreshing and less sweet.
Ordered two drinks from their signature brown sugar series: 1 brown sugar deerioca and fresh milk, 1 brown sugar creme brulee deerioca and fresh milk. The milk is super creamy, and the pearls were soft and chewy, not overcooked or undercooked. Service was friendly and I received the orders pretty quickly. The drink could've used more creme brulee though.
A balanced diet is a bubble tea in each hand - if only I had 3 hands because The Alley kindly treated me to 3 different types of bubble tea 🙌🏻 I tried the brown sugar deerioca & fresh milk, the snow strawberry lulu and the northern lights (aurora series). They all looked beautiful and tasted great but my favourite was the brown sugar milk. It was the perfect sweetness for me and I loved the balanced taste of the creamy fresh milk with the bittersweet caramalised brown sugar. The pearls were chewy and the right consistency too. The snow strawberry lulu was fruity and refreshing and the northern lights was stunning to look at and tasted pleasantly of grapes and apples. Thank you The Alley for the treat!
I can’t get over how good they are.
We had the following
💕 Aurora Series Morning Dawn
💕Brown Sugar Deerioca And Fresh Milk
I had the Morning Dawn was so delish, loving the fruity mango flavours and I love that it’s just the right amount of sweetness.
My friend had Brown Sugar Deerioca And Fresh Milk. It was made with tapioca pearls, warm brown sugar and topped with fresh milk.
We loved them both and how pretty do they look.
You definitely have to try @thealleylujiaoxiangmel can’t wait to go back 💕
Amazing bubble tea! I love the texture and sweetness of the pearls and the brown sugar mixture in the drink makes it amazing. I had the original brown sugar drink on the first day and I went back on the second day to try the chocolate flavour. Both were equally yummy. Wished they opened an outlet in Adelaide soon! Thought there was a long wait on the second day, the staff were friendly and unphased by the crowds.
Best bubble tea in nyc! Also, they don’t charge extra for oat milk (which is delicious btw) and the staff is the most friendly ever.
