"Spent some time here with family based on their recommendation. The drinks were great and we were able to hang around for a nice chat. I will return next time we're in the area!"

"Bubble tea place known for their brown sugar tapioca. I came here last night with a friend, it is a good place to chat and hang out. It is open late and the place inside is spacious and has some seating. I tried the royal #9 milk tea with grass jelly and you can have the option of how much sugar and ice you want. The service was friendly and the milk tea was yummy."

"I have just had unpleasant customer service in this Alley Branch. As I was interested in the newly pop-up spy family beverage, I decided to drop by the nearest Alley to my home and to get a new flavor for the Forger Family. Once entering into the shop, there is no customer ahead. These two staff did say hi to me at least 1 minute after I came into the counter. A girl came to me, and she seemed to reluctant to say Hi. "hi" finally she spoke slightly and shyly at this least rush hour. I checked with her about 2 new flavors about the beverage. And when I asked, do you have any souvenir such as stickers, she said no at first. And I asked her again, then she told me there is only one kind of the sticker. It seems that she has no idea about the product and was reluctant to a customer. I could not expect any passion on her. Finally, my beverage was done. Then she just give me the sleeve, beverage and tube and thank you still sounds too slightly that I even hardly to hear. Very disappointed and frustrated experience during a quiet afternoon when the staffs are not busy at all!"
