With their signature "Deerioca" tapioca pearls, deer logo, and drinks like "Northern Lights," Taiwan's The Alley feels right at home in Canada. The bubble tea shop has several franchised locations operating in the Metro Toronto area, and are now prepping their first-ever Vancouver location.

The "Deerioca" is their claim to fame--that's their in-house and scratch-made tapioca pearls. On the menu are brewed teas, milk teas, juices, and specialty drinks, like something intriguingly called the Oreo Devil Slush, as well as seasonal hot and cold specials.
