The Alley Tempe in Arizona

"The raspberry smoothie with rose cream boba at The Alley in Tempe is a refreshing blend of tart berry flavor and delicate floral sweetness, perfectly balanced and surprisingly indulgent. The rose cream adds a silky finish that elevates the drink into a unique and memorable treat."

"One of my go to boba places! Great boba, great vibes and great dessert! So convenient and close to campus! I've tried many flavours and every time I come here I am able to try a new tea or dessert! Never gets boring! The matcha ice cream was a tester, the matcha flavour was not strong but light and soothing in this heat!"

"Atmosphere is chilling and I didn’t expect anything less since it is located in the heart of ASU campus. Price is very decent and reasonable for this location. I got 2 drinks and a fries. They were pleasant nothing too crazy or standing out."

"Clean, efficient and focused boba shop in the heart of ASU. SML on deck is spot on with potently bloomed bright matcha, oat milk substitute without an up charge! and real strawberry compote jam. They all come together for an upscale SML for the student masses. They also serve snacks and light meals to accompany the boba. The popcorn chicken is a good localized version and tasty. Solid experience. SML on deck"

"I ordered the No. 4 Lychee Green Tea, and it was super refreshing — packed with real lychee fruit pieces! My friend got one of their milk tea drinks, and it was also really tasty. The flavors were strong but well-balanced, and everything was made fresh. Great spot if you're looking for quality bubble tea and fruity drinks!"

"super cute place, super yummy drinks. denora is the best she always does her big one"

"Get the popcorn chicken!! It’s so good: delightfully crispy, perfectly marinated, and the spiciness is just right. I love getting the sweet chilli sauce with it, it balances out the heaviness of the fried chicken wonderfully."
