Here’s a look at all you need to know about The Alley and The Alley top drinks you need to try.
Where did The Alley come from?
The Alley is a Taiwanese-based modern bubble tea chain known for their Brown Sugar Deerioca (tapioca pearl) drinks.
Founded by graphic designer Mao-ting Chiu in 2015, this newer Taiwanese brand has grown to more than 300 locations across Taiwan, China, Japan, Canada, France, Australia, and USA.
The Alley’s trendy and unique branding features their signature logo – a male deer or buck head – which has made it a social media darling.
What is Deerioca?
The Alley freshly handcrafts their trademark tapioca pearls known as “Deerioca.”
“Deerioca” is a word play on “tapioca” plus the brand’s logo “deer.”
The Alley makes their own Deerioca from scratch from making the dough to kneading and rolling the dough into small balls.
The brand takes pride in the texture and aroma of their pearls which each bite being unique and satisfying.
The Alley’s Deerioca are slow-cooked in a brown sugar “lava” for two hours. The brown sugar is made using house-made cane sugar.
Their signature Brown Sugar Deerioca drinks include Deerioca Fever (using fresh milk or soy milk) and Deerioca Matcha.
