The Alley - North York

Bubble tea was good! Service was a little slow, the wait time was 30 minutes after we ordered two cups of bubble tea. There was only 2 people in the store; unknown amount of mobile online orders. Probably wouldn’t go to this location again since there’s so many choices on the street. The drinks were good though.

I came last Night to order some drinks the drinks were not bad. But the staff the girl at the cashier She is very rude it’s clearly on her face that she hates her job…

My experience with the Alley has been amazing since I discovered the crunchy tiramisu milk tea Scarborough town center setting the bar high Had to order it when I saw the location at North York. Unfortunately it was a huge fail from this location. A bunch of crunched ice and a non-milky, flavourless tea is what I received.

I asked if they had cheese foam, the guy at the counter said that their "snowy velvet" series was cheese foam. DO NOT GET IT IF YOU EXPECT A FOAM ON YOUR DRINK. I ordered it and got a couple drops of white liquid on top of my tea. Not at all what I wanted. It tastes ok but it wasn't what I was expecting and it cost me 7 bucks. Waste of time and money

I've always ordered crunchy tiramisu milk tea from the alley. Today I ordered it from this location and was so disappointed. The guy who made my drink did not blend the ice properly at all. There was chunky pieces of ice when you drink. I literally had to wait for the drink to melt in order to drink! Stay away from this location if you can!

this is probably one of the least reliable Alley locations in the GTA. i live close so i stop by a lot and they're never in stock. my chance of getting my drink is like 20%. they were once out of all milk literally in the middle of the day on a random thursday. how????

The cashier literally decided to change the policy of “first come first service” due to another customer. I ordered a simple royal n9, on a tight schedule to get to an event later in the evening. 4 minutes after I ordered in the empty store a blonde white guy comes in & flirts with the cashier… leading him to get his drink within 2 minutes, before mine was even made. I still was waiting for several minutes hoping they were making mine, I was only noticed after I took a phone call asking why I was late…. To which I mentioned I was “cut in line”. Thankfully another worker noticed this & made my drink, I was waiting for 15 minutes in an empty store just because a guy batted his eyelids at the cashier. Frustrated as I was on a tight schedule.

Please check your order before leaving ! I find that employees can miss certain details on the order! Items may be made hot instead of cold or the ice level is incorrect. I’ve ordered here twice and it’s happened both times. Very small bubble tea place located in the Yonge and finch area. There is street parking on Yonge but it can get packed as there are many restaurants in the area too. I love their soy milk brown sugar drink. Limited seating, a bench and a few seats. They do take credit card, no Amex. They do UberEats too. I’m not sure if it’s a communication or just a mistake but they made one of the cold drinks into a hot drink. The label and receipt indicated a cold, less ice, drink but it was prepared hot in a hot cup. There are plenty bubble tea places in the area. If you’re a fan of soy milk and brown sugar, I recommend getting it here. Update: Went back for a second visit. I ordered 9 drinks, one drink was suppose to have no ice but they put ice in it. The seal on the large uji matcha latte was not sealed properly. Other than that, the drinks were good.

Very unique taste! I ordered Royal No. 9 because I'm not a fan of tapioca and it taste "fruity" so to speak and I love it. My fiancè ordered The alley trio milk tea and he said it tasted like Bailey's. One of the best bubble tea place so far.

Very good menu, the places rises above the many other options in the area. Consistently good experience. Occasionally sells out of some unique specialty teas.
