I wanted to try this place out because i always see a bunch of asian guys at my gym with their drinks. Moving forward... i will only ever get bubble tea from the alley! Great service!! The people there are extremely welcoming and nice. Their selections of tea go beyond your traditional bubble tea places. The place is clean and well decorated. My first visit here i tried their sample for the day ( Royal Number 9) highly suggest it! Have been back every Sunday for the past 3 weeks!

Love that the alley location is here. Hidden from all the other ones, but still just as good Came in for the pompompurin collab and let’s start by saying, amazing collab! The drinks were great. Had the whole collab lineup with my kids. The peach one, mango and the last one being yogurt pudding. All solid drinks but I thought the pudding one represented pompompurin the best! Not thick like a pudding, but more of a pudding like taste with a yogurt drink style Forgot to mention I wanted to get the clips for the collab after I paid for my drinks, but still let me purchase Service was quick in getting the drinks together and they looked fantastic too Great job overall!
