Austin is in Texas, in the South, where summers are hot and humid, winters are short, and severe storms in spring are a fact of life; businesses run air conditioning most of the year and many open early to beat the heat. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Austin follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building. The map link on this page shows the exact spot.

It is an amazing store The drinks were outstanding—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly crafted. The boba was soft and chewy, and you can really taste the quality of the ingredients. Whether you’re a milk tea lover or prefer coffee, there’s something here for everyone. I especially appreciated that my drink wasn’t overly sweet and was made exactly the way I ordered it.

We tried boba for the first time at the Alley in Dripping Springs. It was fresh, delightful, perfectly sweet. We got the brown sugar milk tea and then the same with Ube and Tarro! The owner was there and she was I credibly kind and answered all my questions. We will happily be back!

The bubble l tea is very good with a lot of variety. They will also let you adjust the sweetness. The lady working there was so nice and helpful. I have a cheesecake and it was amazing. Seating as comfortable.

I already love the Alley location in Sunset Valley, so when one opened closer to home in Belterra I was excited to try it out. I can confidently say it's the same great boba tea without the long drive through 290 construction. Got my brown sugar boba tea and enjoyed it thoroughly. Great place to enjoy a drink while reading or knitting or just relaxing. Will definitely be back.

The south west austin shop opened! The tea is amazing and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. I have been to many boba shops. This one had good vibes and tasty drinks. They don’t charge extra to sub out sugars…which is nice. You should come by! Since it was their grand opening they had a dj and prizes! I won a free tumble! Sick right!
