There's even a Deer Horn Lane in Boston?! 🦌 I'll go first!

🦌 The Alley: Boston’s New Bubble Tea Spot—Quincy’s Sweet Addition After sipping my way through The Alley in California for years, I’m thrilled it’s finally here in the Boston area (okay, Quincy—but close enough!). Is this the first location? Fingers crossed it’s the start of more to come. Fair warning: It’s a bit of a trek from downtown (traffic’s rough at peak hours), but for these drinks? Totally worth the drive. 🌟 Top 3 Drinks to Try Ube Cream Brûlée Milk Tea 🟣 • The staff’s favorite, and it’s easy to see why: Creamy ube (purple yam) flavor blends perfectly with a torched brûlée top—sweet, nutty, and indulgent. • Pro tip: Grab it right when it’s ready! Mine sat too long, and the pretty gradient (ube + tea layers) vanished. Still delicious, though. Lychee Yogurt Smoothie 🍓 • Refreshing and light: Tangy yogurt blended with lychee, plus jellies (textured like white agar) for a fun bite. Smooth, fruity, and not too heavy. Snow Strawberry Smoothie 🍓 • Tastes like a frozen strawberry milkshake—sweet-tart, with a creamy "snow" texture. Like sipping liquid strawberry ice cream. 📍 The Details Location: 1515 Hancock St, Quincy (not downtown, but worth the trip). Vibe: Clean, bright, and spacious—great for snapping photos or lingering with friends. Sugar Note: Go for 0% or 30% sugar if you don’t like things too sweet. My 50% was definitely on the sugary side. Parking: Free 2-hour street parking nearby—no need to stress about meters. Why It Stands Out These aren’t your average bubble teas. The ube brûlée and lychee yogurt? Unique flavors I haven’t found at other Boston spots. It’s a welcome addition to the city’s tea scene—here’s hoping it expands downtown soon! #BostonBubbleTea #QuincyEats #TheAlley #NewInTown
