The Alley LuJiaoXiang

Fresh milk brown sugar Pearl tea, very tasty!
Store also has nice seating inside and is well lit, good atmosphere for chatting

Amazing bubble tea! I love the texture and sweetness of the pearls and the brown sugar mixture in the drink makes it amazing. I had the original brown sugar drink on the first day and I went back on the second day to try the chocolate flavour. Both were equally yummy. Wished they opened an outlet in Adelaide soon! Thought there was a long wait on the second day, the staff were friendly and unphased by the crowds.

A balanced diet is a bubble tea in each hand - if only I had 3 hands because The Alley kindly treated me to 3 different types of bubble tea 🙌🏻 I tried the brown sugar deerioca & fresh milk, the snow strawberry lulu and the northern lights (aurora series). They all looked beautiful and tasted great but my favourite was the brown sugar milk. It was the perfect sweetness for me and I loved the balanced taste of the creamy fresh milk with the bittersweet caramalised brown sugar. The pearls were chewy and the right consistency too. The snow strawberry lulu was fruity and refreshing and the northern lights was stunning to look at and tasted pleasantly of grapes and apples. Thank you The Alley for the treat!

I can’t get over how good they are.

We had the following

💕 Aurora Series Morning Dawn

💕Brown Sugar Deerioca And Fresh Milk

I had the Morning Dawn was so delish, loving the fruity mango flavours and I love that it’s just the right amount of sweetness.

My friend had Brown Sugar Deerioca And Fresh Milk. It was made with tapioca pearls, warm brown sugar and topped with fresh milk.

We loved them both and how pretty do they look.
You definitely have to try @thealleylujiaoxiangmel can’t wait to go back 💕

- Brown sugar deerioca & fresh milk
- Brown sugar deerioca & matcha latte
- Orange lulu
- Mango lulu with coconut 🥥 milk

Have been a frequent customer here and a fan of the brown sugar deerioca series! They’re not too sweet and the pearls are dosed with brown sugar 🤤

Tried the fruit series and really enjoyed the orange lulu 🍊 super refreshing on a hot day ❤

5-Star service. The staff was extremely friendly and down to earth. I am a big fan of Crème Brûlée series however, I find their version has too much cream on it. The menu is diverse and innovative. The Aurora series look and sound quite promising, can’t wait to try it next time.

So happy they opened a more convenient location in the city! I tried this place for the first time in Hong Kong and I really liked the tapioca balls they used, so was really excited to have it again here in Melbourne and it did not disappoint. Do not shake the milk tea!

Very trendy bubble tea store from Taiwan, popular in worldwide, first store in CBD Melb. using brown sugar for pearls mixed with fresh milk and tea else. Delicious! Recommended: Brown sugar Deerioca & fresh milk . Very soft pearls will balance with fresh milk .

The best place for boba in Melbourne CBD.
Fantastic menu range that will cater for all tastes from milk to fruit to slushie style drinks.
The quality of the finished product isn't rushed, so the teas always taste fantastic. Staff are incredibly efficient at getting customers through.
The atmosphere, vibe and decor are hecking aesthetic, truly beautiful.
The Alley is the place you'll benchmark all boba tea you get in future against.

Drinks are always delicious and staff are friendly and helpful. Recommend for first time bbt drinkers and veterans alike!

Great place with a warm and cozy vibe! At peak times your looking to wait about 5-10mins in line (depending how long the line is) and around 5-10mins or so for your drink (also depends what drink you get). Tried their Aurora series and it was pretty good. Would recommend if you love bubble tea!

The tea is amazing plus the texture of the boba is nice and chewy so that it doesn't feel like plastic or too soggy. Service was great as well even though it was quite busy at that time. Definitely one of the best I've had. The atmosphere of the store was great, everyone in our group was extremely happy with our drinks and was amazed by how delicious it tastes.

A good selection of drinks. The Brown Sugar Deerioca & Matcha Latte is good. The brown sugar is sweet but balanced nicely with the fresh milk and tea. It has an interesting texture that most people will like. There's an option for zero sugar with some of the other teas. I appreciate it because a lot of the tea I've tried elsewhere in the city is too sweet for me. I really enjoyed the sugar free iced jasmine tea. Very refreshing. Thank you.

Clean and neat place to begin with also you can see the open kitchen.

Great customer service

The Alley LuJiaoXiang is Bubble Tea shop located in Lonsdale Street Melbourne. The shop sells a variety of beverages including brown sugar milk, brown sugar matcha latte, brown sugar chocolate, royal milk tea, green tea, etc. The price is reasonable and the beverage tastes good. The signature of the shop is brown sugar milk followed by brown sugar matcha latte and chocolate. However, other beverages tastes good as well. Do check me out on my instagram @roshan_arjun for more feeds. Cheers!

I love milk teas and Alley has a large variety. I had there original brown sugar and really enjoyed it. Would definitely recommend to anyone who enjoys bubble tea.

I heard this bubble tea cafe had a big franchise in Hong Kong so I had to try it!
The crème brûlée is a must try!
We only waited for one minute for two drinks.
The staff was friendly and patient.
I recommend trying this place out!

The lady is so friendly and patient when suggesting the drinks bc this is my first time try this brand. Also the music list catch my vibe aswell. Love it!!!

Favourite place for bubble tea hands down. They have amazing and efficient customer service along with delicious drinks! 100% recommended!

As someone who's had over probably 200 bubble teas the brown sugar milk tea range here is S tier. Favourite is the Creme Brulee flavoured one, 10/10.

All the other drinks are better than what you get at most other stores too.
