If you wanna try a unique brown sugar milk drink or milk tea then go to this place. I recommend their Brown Sugar Deerioca Milk. Give a few mix underneath to get that balanced brown sugar and milk flavor. ❤ Wish they expand more of their menu.

I have tasted a lot of milk tea and tea products in the Philippines, and I think The Alley’s pearls are one of the best! There’s nothing extraordinary about the drink itself, but it’s tasty enough to please your taste buds. I commend the store for a quick service!

This is one of the best milk tea places in Manila. I love the combination of brown sugar and milk tea, which gives it a unique and special flavor. The waiting time is usually around 5 minutes, and the service crew are nice and friendly. The place is clean and well-maintained. Its location away from the usual high-street area is a plus, as it means fewer people in line. All in all, it’s a must-try.

Ordered their brown sugar deerioca milk. It's creamy but I found it too sweet since you can't adjust the sugar level. Boba is also sweet. Only comes in one size as well. I also found the container a bit impractical since it got sucked in everytime I took a sip. Still enjoyed nevertheless.

I’m a really big fan of milktea. Me and my friends started drinking before it even became popular here in the Philippines. Even tried lots in Thailand when I visited. So for me, I have a really high expectations when it comes to new big stores that pops up every now and then. For this one, I’d say its overrated. It’s almost already just a milk drink without even tasting the tea from it. You’d only taste the tea from its pearls which for me was not really a good idea. I know pearl has a big role for milktea but you can’t give it all the flavor for the tea.
