The Alley – Fairfax, VA is such a nice spot! The desserts are super yummy and the drinks are also amazing The place is clean, spacious, and very comfortable to hang out ✨ Parking can be a bit hard but overall it’s worth it! The staff are super friendly and provide great service — just that the owners can be a bit rude sometimes but it’s okay, the food and atmosphere are still fantastic!

I always love a boba place that has purple rice as a topping! Taiwanese places do boba the best! Amazing combo of earthy matcha, tart and sweet yogurt, with the chewiness or purple rice and glass jelly! So many other great looking flavors, gonna have to be back.

I was suprised that such a tasty place as the Alley was only 4.2 stars, but it seems majority of the lower review stars were written when they first opened. A lot of the reviews mentioned poor service rather than quality of drinks. Service was great when I went! I hope yall can extend some grace to a new small business, that theres gonna be growing pains, and not let that stop u from a delicious fun drink!

It was my first time going here today. There was a cute Seventeen event going on today, filled with vibrant kpop music and beautiful Idol inspired decor. But my favorite was definitely the strawberry matcha. There was strawberry in every sip, and it was divine. Quite literally the best Strawberry matcha I’ve ever had in DMV, per my taste. Good customer service too. They were quick

This tea house from Taiwan offers a notably clean and spacious environment. The selection of milk teas is varied and impressive. The service provided is commendable, with welcoming and attentive staff. Ordering through the kiosk was easy and quick, and the staff called my order number when the drinks were ready.

I would suggest the Vietnamese Coffee with Sea Salt Cream, which features robust flavors derived from authentic Vietnamese coffee beans, allowing for a distinct taste experience compared to other establishments. Adding sea salt cream contributes to a pleasant balance of sweetness and creaminess that complements the coffee’s natural acidity. Another recommendation would be the Matcha Purple Rice Yogurt, which allows for customization in sugar levels. I chose a lower sugar option and ube, resulting in a delightfully creamy and rich beverage. The pricing is also quite reasonable, given the quality of the offerings.

The Alley is a nice-looking place to hang out with matching quality drinks! I always get analysis paralysis at bubble tea places with so many options. I always ask for recommendations, and it could sometimes be a hit or a miss. You don’t always like what’s most popular, right?

Fortunately, the mango and cream drink the staff recommended this time was out of this world. It has so much unique flavor I’ve never had before in a bubble tea. I’m going to be coming back just for this drink alone!

Loved this restaurant! The owner, Tree, is super considerate. I ordered the Oolong Tea and Korean Popcorn Chicken and he suggested I get the chicken at 50% sweetened instead of normal, because my drink was sweet. Fantastic call! The restaurant is clean, neat, and decorated well! Definitely recommend trying this location if you’re in Fairfax, Virginia. 5/5 stars.

i had my first “the alley” in vietnam so wxpectation were HIGH! my first time trying it here was okay. I was not loving it as much as vietnam but also don’t hate it? I liked my drink. I got a yogurt purple rice l drink which tasted like dessert with me asking for it to have less sugar!
My recommendations is to do less sugar as drinks are typically a bit sweeter in my taste. Also got to try the mango snow (i think thats what it called) with less sugar and liked it as well. Thai tea tasted like sugar even with less sugar.
Service was pretty quick and fast and the space is roomy. Plenty of space to seat. Easy parking and access, would come here again!

The Alley is a great spot for some milk tea, fruit tea, or a small bite! The interior of here has lots of seating for you to sit with friends and yap after getting your drink (or even play board games or study!).

I recommend ordering at the kiosk here you can see their fully updated menu because when I ordered at their counter, I noticed there weren’t some of the items that they were promoting. The drinks here are consistent quality and good, and toppings are fresh. Great service and great spot!

The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. I really enjoyed their Assam pearl milk tea — it tasted great with a strong, rich tea flavor. The interior is clean and well designed, and the overall experience felt just like having bubble tea in Taiwan.
