“Last night a friend and I went to the Alley for the first time and was BLOWN AWAY. From the door you enter a very crisp and aesthetically pleasing, clean dining room. Their brand is beautiful representated and you can tell they really have a heart for what they have created. This place is a full package. Not only is the environment beautiful but the food and drinks were INCREDIBLE. The quality was evident even before you took a bite or sip. From the scratch made Boba to the carefully crafted flavor profiles this spot is a 10/10! Very highly recommend and we can't wait to go back.Dietary restrictions: Because everything is made in house the owners were very knowledgeable of the ingredients in their products and were able to help me navigate my order.“
“Milkrolled ice-cream is better than normal ice-cream, and no one can change my mind. They have plenty of flavors, and actual lychee fruit in addition to flavoring. Service was friendly, but pretty slow. Took us 45 min to get our 2 sets of ice cream (10 min to order, 30 to actually get the food).Parking: Lots of parking available“
“There is onsite parking so no worries on finding parking. I tried 3 types of waffles: The original, chocolate & Oreo. They were all made to order, very fresh, and crispy. I did not order a drink because I have an allergy to Jasmine and the drinks I wanted all had Jasmine in them. My husband ordered the Passion Fruit tea but I did not get a photo of it he said it was fine or his exact response was "meeeeh." If you do have allergies I recommend you mention them to the staff because their menu doesn't label all the ingredients. The space was ample for patrons but they lacked furniture for more guest to be seated. There were some pieces of furniture but they could definitely fit more. It wasn't that busy there were open seats but some were dirty. The music was way too loud inside that we had to shout at each other to talk so we took our waffles to go. Would I try it again? Definitely for the bubble waffles!“
“This place is 2L2Q (too legit to quit). Everything here is delicious. Oh, want a boba tea? Yup, they got you. Oh, want a STRAWBERRY CROISSANT?! Yup, they got you. Oh, want to chop it up with the employees and tell them your life story? Yup, they got you, too. They are fast and strong like tigers here, hence the name. Prime example of a great business. Visit here for a good time and some good food. And if you don’t, you’re missing out. Besides, who doesn’t love tigers?Dietary restrictions: So I’m lactose intolerant. I know, real shame. Dang genetics. But they can make whatever however just for you. Chefs Kiss.Parking: Close your eyes and choose a spot.Kid-friendliness: One of the employees literally has a child at home. I’m pretty sure, if I had one, I could leave my kid here and the kid would be safer than at the play pin at McDonalds.Wheelchair accessibility: All are welcome. No doubts about it.“
“This place has crazy good donuts! Staff is always super friendly and quick to help, it's no wonder they sell out so quickly.Kolache selection is small, but who needs more than sausage, jalapeno, and cheese? Not this guy! And don't even get me started on the cronuts. Breakfast pastries will never be the same in this household“
“Cute local place for boba! It seems to be run by a mother-son pair: the mom is super sweet and the son had helpful suggestions when I couldn’t decide what tea pairing I wanted. I ended getting Egyptian lavender tea with rose and oat milk, and it was fantastic. Lavender tea can be hard to find, and this was probably the best I’ve had! Also they let you taste it before it’s sealed, so you can request flavor/sweetness adjustments to make sure you’re getting it exactly how you want. I definitely recommend stopping by if you have the chance!…Plus, it’s within walking distance from the convention center, so it’s a nice option to check out if you’re in town for a conference and want to try something that’s not a chain.“
“I love this place. The boba is really bouncy and chewy, the coffee tastes amazing, and the fruit drinks use real fruit rather than syrups.Highly recommend trying the Matcha Lattes, Shakerato, Ube Cafe Latte, and the Coconut Coffee.The one downside is they don't have any tables, so it's a Togo only kind of spot.“
“Stopped and got our daughters a half dozen doughnuts because they really like mochi. I myself want really fond of the taste or consistency, but my wife and daughters all really liked them. The only slight complaint is that they are a bit pricey as a half dozen was around $25, including a gratuity. We'd probably buy them again but we'll see.“
“I am so happy I finally stopped in here. The drinks are excellent quality, you can make them super custom to your liking. The place is clean, stylish, and the people at the counter were so so sweet and kind. Wonderful customer service and they seem like they genuinely enjoy working there.“
“The owner is very sweet, the teens that work there are a bit shy. The place is always clean and very beautiful and quiet, the boba is made on site and the matcha is absolutely amazing. Feels like luxury and it's the same price as Kung Fu tea.“
“Every time my niece and I hang out, we get boba, and we enjoy trying a new place each time. This last time, she wanted a repeat trip to Tsaocaa (and so did I!) because it was that good! I feel like they have a ton of drinks that other boba places don't have, and the flavor was uniform from start to finish. Delicious boba, you can choose your sugar level, and a variety of boba/jellies to choose from. My first time I had the mango yogurt drink which was SOOOO good. Second time was the mango drink with cheese foam. That one was probably a "one and done" for me, lol, but fortunately my husband liked it!“
“We had a great experience at Mon Thai. We were greeted with friendly and helpful service. Our server remembered us from previous visits and welcomed us by name.We each ordered different entrees and they all had great flavors, mixing textures of sautéed meat with crunchy veggies. Each of the entrees were big enough portions for sharing.I especially liked the Green Tea Leaves Salad which was made with green tea leaves, tomatoes, and mixed nuts nestled over a bed of cabbage. It was pleasantly fresh and light.I also ordered the Tom Yum Noodles Soup. The noodles, chicken and bean sprouts were served in a rich, red broth that was perfect for the cold weather. For being such a large portion I liked that it was still a light, healthy dish.They played instrumental Thai music which we all enjoyed listening to.They have so many options to choose from and something for everyone. Dishes offer the option to choose between meats and seafood or vegetables.Much appreciated to be treated so kindly at a restaurant that also serves up fantastic and flavorful meals.“
“Poke House has a great selection of foods fit for everyone! I have tried various items from both the poke and kitchen menu and they are amazing. The spicy ahi is a must try item if you're not in the mood to build your own bowl but I'd definitely recommend building your own and trying out the awesome sauces that they make. The house and garlic serrano sauces have to be my favorites. From the kitchen, I like to get the aloha chicken and will switch it up sometimes with the chicken katsu if I want something crispy. I'd also definitely recommend getting the spam musubi as a side for any meal. Overall, Poke House provides a fun and modern atmosphere with great customer service while delivering delicious poke and kitchen items!“
“Gong cha has my heart for favorite boba tea shop. I used to be a die hard for Kung Fu tea but this is every bit as good if not better. My go to is iced black milk tea with the least amount of sugar sub lychee jelly for boba. Love the claw machines too and so do the kids.“
“Best white chocolate mocha around! Love the owners! They are so hospitable and friendly. Place has a great vibe. There’s extra seating upstairs and there are plenty of electrical plugs. Which is a plus if you’re a remote workerParking: You can park in the garage of the building. The first 2 garage floors are free for the businesses.“
“The 2 girls working were very sweet. We got the latte with boba, strawberry smoothie and chocolate smoothie. I never had boba before. my daughter really likes it and she was very happy with her chocolate smoothie with Boba add the latte that I got with Boba it’s very good my husband got the strawberry smoothie which he said was the best smoothie he had in a while.“
“The stir fried noodles/noodle soup is some of the best in aurora. And the popcorn chicken is incredible as well! Tonight when I went to pick up my order there was an issue with their online ordering system and they gave me a free bubble tea as well! The food is always great and the service is wonderful as well. It’s definitely a hidden gem off Havana.“
“This place is very chill and remote. I got the Halo Halo Matcha supreme and it’s perfect it has matcha ice cream on top and it taste like genuine matcha but not to greeny it’s the perfect mix of sweet and matcha. It’s really good and the customer service was good as well. They have little board games you can play while you wait for your drinks. Overall great experience.“
“February 18th 2024 Sunday.Me and my fiancé live nearby , both wanted boba and had cravings .Drove past this place and honestly the price is really good! When we looked at the menuWe have been to different boba places and can’t beat this place!Both really loved our drinks,Place is very clean , staff is friendly and they even had their own self order machine which I thought it was really cool. We both are coming back for sure and try other menu items.Overall I am very satisfied! Plus I loved the painting of the pandas ?!“
“Stopped by this week to try out the Tanghulu but unfortunately it was not being sold yet until Saturday and that the video we've all been seeing was poster early per the cashier. At first I was a little bummed because the tanhulu looks super good but it's okay! Instead I ordered the strawberry sago , spicy wings and a lemon tea. Everything was super good! I loved the seasoning and crunch of the wings will def be getting them again. The strawberry sago was a good snack and refreshing you can say. Will def be coming back hopefully soon to try the tanghulu though! :)“
“Asuka Ramen has been a longtime favorite of ours, and we were excited to see a new restaurant closer to us in Aurora. The inside of the restaurant is cute, small dining area and they even have a little bar for you to sit at as well. The staff greeted us quickly and were patient with us while looking over the menu. Now onto the food, our go-to entree is the Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen. It is spicy but not super intense, and has really great flavor. The Spring Rolls were nothing special but taste like your standard veggie spring roll. The Lychee Boba Juice was good as well. The DTC location has Pork Belly Buns and we were disappointed to see the new location does not have this on the menu. My favorite thing about this restaurant besides the ramen is how they prepare your to-go orders. They separate your broth and noodles so that your noodles do not get soggy. We cannot wait to go back and get more ramen, highly recommend this spot!!“
“Just had the food togo, and i can say this is the best pho i've ever had ngl, the vietnamese eggroll is the best and the pho was crazyy, i ordered the small portions but it's huge and the broth was really flavorful very tasty, the mango boba just ok, i really can feel the artificial flavor and boba is barely hard, but so far is realy good and I'll definitely comeback“
“Really like this place, been to here more than I can remember. The foods are amazing, and I really their milk tea, especially thai tea. Lots of choice of toppings I can put in 1 drink, there are bobas, jellies, and popping boba. Overall, I would recommend you guys come to this place around noon since it has happy hour discount from 3-5pm works for everyday they open.“
“The boba here is exceptional, especially the peach tea boba with coconut jelly—my favorite! I highly recommend it, and their waffles are also delicious. The people here offer some of the best customer service, being friendly and kind. I love coming here; it’s a solid 10/10 experience.“
“That lavender slush and lavender tea with boba… mmm mmm mmm!! Do yourself a favor, get double boba, and enjoy ?I just appreciate that they have non-dairy options and it’s consistent. Too many other spots in the city are finicky. They don’t disappoint and it’s a vibe inside!“
“This is BY FAR my favorite restaurant in the entire state of Colorado! I used to work in the Streets of Southglenn and I would come here nearly everyday to get my fill. My favorite bowl is a white rice bowl sprinkled with spicy furikake with salmon, onions, cucumber, serrano peppers, and shiso mixed with ginger wasabi aioli and a little sesame oil, topped with green onions, sprouts, masago, and avocado and spinkled again with macadamia nuts and more spicy furikake. You won't be disappointed. The service is great, the owner knows my face by now because I just come here THAT often it is just THAT delicious, and she treats me like family! I come here for my birthday every year because this food makes my tummy happy! Oh and don't miss out on their teas, I love the oolong, thai and milk teas! Go get yourself some Poke!“
“This is easily one of my favorite boba places I've ever been to across multiple cities. Their tea is always spot on and the perfect adjusted sweetness, the depth of their menu provides so many good options, and the add in to drink ratio is pure perfection. Add in how completely cute the place is and you have a perfect boba spot. I personally highly recommend the dragonfruit matcha and hojicha milk teas, but you really can't go wrong with anything on their menu.Parking: There's very hard to park in spots along Colfax and a few along side roads. Absolutely do not park at the nearby gas station and walk down or you'll likely get towed.Wheelchair accessibility: Unfortunately, this place is *super* tight. I don't think most wheelchairs would do well in here, especially not along the counter. There is room at the back for turning, but it would be a pretty claustrophobic experience in a chair.“
“When I went the tea tasted a little watered down or not brewed long enough, as I can barely taste the tea flavor. I’ve had Moge countless times on the east coast so I know what it’s supposed to taste like, and usually the tea flavor is pronounced, but that wasn’t my experience with this location. That said, the cheese cap is on par with the other Moge tee locations I’ve had: it’s the right amount, not skimpy at all, and doesn’t taste like whip cream. It’s rich and creamy. I would probably give this location a second chance.“
“Lollicup has some of the best boba I've had in my entire life. I got the pomegranate milk tea with passion fruit popping boba and it was life changing. This place isn't close to me but I will absolutely be making the drive out for their boba, cute cafe aesthetics, fun claw machines, and wonderful customer service!“
“Recently visited JJ's Bistro and was thoroughly impressed. The ambiance is cozy and welcoming. We started with the Wontons, which were flavorful and delicious. We ordered the chicken lo mein, orange chicken, and broccoli beef. The ingredients were fresh, and the seasoning was spot-on. The waiter was super friendly and funny, making our dining experience even more pleasant. Highly recommend for anyone looking for authentic Chinese cuisine. It is a hidden gem!“
“This is a convenient and fun spot to swing by. It is airy and bright. I love that you can personalize the sweetness of the drinks and customize your add ins. Not pictured was the original bubble waffle which is delicious. It did take a while for that order to come out and it did not come out with my drink. I was unaware that my drink already came with boba and when I asked the young lady at the counter volunteered to make me another without boba, which I declined. It was nice of her to offer. Overall a cool occasional spot to stop by for something other than coffee!“
“Not afraid to admit that I'm kinda a boba snob but I have to say I was pleasantly surprised how good and the tea is here! Adjusted perfectly to my liking of less sweetness and the drink still had a lot of flavor. I ordered a mango green tea and I would order that all day!“
Bubble Tea • $
“This was the first Boba place, I tried in 2020. The Taro blended smoothie with black pearls is ALWAYS on point. I've experienced with different places and honestly Wonder Tea is the most consisitant as far as taste goes. There's a few places closer to my house, but I'll take the extra 10 minute drive for this tasty treat! I've never gone out of my comfort zone on ordering anything else here, but if your a Taro fan...you MUST try this 'Wonderful, Wonder Tea :))“
“Their Boba is really good its chewy n soft & never hard. I’ve tried their Brown Sugar, Honeydew and Taro milk tea. At 100% sweetness I couldn’t drink more than 2-3 sips, its too sweet. I’m a sweet tooth & I feel the over sweetness cancels the flavor. The people are always nice. I would suggest try 75% sweetness in your drink first & then you may go up or down.“
