Pearls get near-universal praise. The Queen West location is slammed on weekends — the line is part of the experience. Price is the most common complaint, but most agree it's worth it.

Queen West's The Alley is the Toronto boba experience that out-of-towners text you about. The Deerioca pearls are handmade, irregular, gloriously chewy, and the brown sugar stripes the cup like a tiny tiger. It's.
