Quickly

Two words, Horrible Service! The staff was very rude to my family and I. Having traveled 5 hours from North Carolina, we was looking forward to some Quickly’s to refresh on. Asking for advice, they suggested we look at the menu… offering no help. Thereafter, our drinks were made horribly. Certainly, not the Quickly’s I remembered (was tasteless)! So, I asked if they could remake one of the drinks or add more sugar. They did not want to remake our drinks (unless we pay for another drink). The two staff members were mocking at us, all while raising their voices and rolling their eyes. I will NOT be going to this location again. I love Quickly’s but Customer Service was at a lost for me. Do yourself a favor, and don’t visit this location unless you want to get curse at.

Worse experience ever. I ordered a coffee milk tea, not sweet enough and I asked if she can make it sweeter and have me a weird look. She open the top and add sugar in it. Just so rude! First of all, if you’re going to touch my straw then at least give me another one. Would never come back here

The female worker interrupted me while I was giving my order with a «can you wait a minute» so that she could finish making the first drink. When she was done, she asked me to continue my order. Do they not write down the entire order and then make them? If it was to save time, it worked, but quality was sacrificed. My milk tea barely contained any aloe vera, maybe just one piece. The worker was probably stressed/​cranky, but she should have been trained to endure under such circumstances by still maintaining composure and providing quality customer service.

My date and I went to Quickly over the weekend and I was pretty disappointed with my experience from the last time I was there.
We strolled on a Saturday afternoon because I wanted my date to taste the Taiwan Sausage or Xiang Chang which I loved eating in Taiwan and had before at Quicklys.
(Negative) The Taiwan Sausage was all I ordered! The chit chatting female workers kept talking to each other until the line started to get longer then they started to focus on making the food. However, because of that they started to neglect my order and once it arrived, it was burnt on the outside and extremely salty! Disappointed I had to show my date what Xiang Chang tastes like, burnt. Oh and if you want good really good bubble tea, Honey Bubble got you covered, they don’t use a powder base like Quicklys does which is why Honey Bubble’s bubble tea tastes better!

Excellent bubble tea, reasonable price, and they make them so QUICKLY! My favorite flavors are the sesame and taro. Inside is simple but they do have a lot of seating if you want to chill. They also have fried finger foods like Taiwanese chicken nuggets, fried oysters, etc. My only wish is that they stayed open a little longer into the night!

I love this place because of their bubble tea and small
Snack ditches they serve! I would rather drive allll the way to quickly than honey bubble! Also service is fast for drinks but if you’re planning on getting a snack be sure you got some time to kill!

The food were amazing. The cashiers were very friendly and knowledgeable. I went to this location October of last year; Being this was my first time, the lady at the counter were very nice. She gave me some good recommendations on their snacks and drinks. The environment are very friendly and not too noisy!

Pretty cheap bubble tea (compared to Sweet Hut), and interesting flavors. Definitely still tasty :)
Cash only (maybe only when I was there).
Will need to revisit and try their food!

I always get the Royal Milk Tea with boba — a classic! Although a lot of nicer and newer boba shops have been opening up in Atlanta over the past few years, I feel like Quickly stays in business due to the loyalty of their customers.
Their spicy chicken nuggets are also the tastiest snack that you can’t get at any other bubble tea spot — although Sweet Hut can be a close second.

Quicklys is a popular Boba joint with locations all over the US and Asia. They have a huge menu although the only ones we normally order are the milk teas. We tried other flavors (fruit) before but weren’t too fond of it. The tapioca here is always good (better than sweet hut imo-​tapioca only). My husband and I also love the snack items they serve such as fried oyster, fishballs and fried chicken just to name a few. Next time you’re in the area, go here and grab you some drink and snacks.

I remain a big fan of tapioca. The teas we got here were good. I had the original tapioca tea, which was very good. I also tried the honey tea, which somehow didn’t measure up to other honey tea I’ve had down the street.
This place was fast and easy. Just the way I like my tea. Folks here were friendly, and as we visited just after lunch, we practically had the run of the entire place for a while. Be aware: this is a cash only establishment. But don’t let that stop you from going. They also have free wifi, which is always nice.

Even though my Taiwanese boo-​thang doesn’t love boba as much as other Taiwanese folks, she still craves a fix here or there. And being in a new city, we’ve been searching on Unilocal for a place to satisfy her cravings. We found a Quickly — a popular chain in killa Cali — and made our way over.
I. BOBA TEA & FOOD
There are generally three different kinds of bubble tea joints. They either serve all powdered drinks, all fruit, or a mix of both. Quickly is the former, mainly because the only real fruit they have is watermelon. It’s a lot faster for businesses to only serve powder, but for obvious reasons it’s not as tasty as real fruit. Anyways, below are the types of drinks that one can purchase:
–Traditional Milk tea
–Slush (Syrup and Ice)
–Smoothie (Syrup, Ice, and Milk)
Of course, like any boba place, patrons can either have tapioca or jellies. I tried the chocolate milk tea with pearls and watermelon slush with aloe vera (a plant, but jelly-​like).
*Chocolate Milk Tea: Pretty good! The drink wasn’t overwhelmingly milky, and I got that chocolate fix. Bobas were perfectly soft and slightly chewy. Yum.
*Watermelon Slush: Not bad! I liked the aloe vera chunks at the bottom. Not cloyingly sweet, which I like.
There are also several types of Taiwanese street food people can order such as Taiwanese chicken nuggets, tempura, fish cakes, tofu, etc…
II. SERVICE
We only waited five minutes, for our drinks. It took a little longer than usual, because I asked for a watermelon slush, and as I mentioned above, it’s fresh. Not complaining. :)
III. ATMOSPHERE/​DÉCOR
Taiwanese music blasting, plenty of AC powering through, and enough seating for three or four groups. There are a couple stools at the counter, and one can watch the staff make boba, slushes, and smoothies. Did I mention the AC? #chubbyguysneedAC
IV. PRICES
Not bad, from what I can remember. Maybe only a little over $ 7 for two drinks?
IV. OVERALL
Although super nice, fast, and affordable, watermelon isn’t my favorite flavor and I prefer boba establishments that serve real fruit. I wouldn’t mind getting something from there again in the future, but in the meantime I’ll be taking my boba-​sippin’ talents elsewhere.

A cash only place, but there is an ATM right inside if you need it. The prices here were surprisingly different than the Duluth location. It is parallel to, for instance, Sweet Hut just so you know. The inside was quite smaller than the Duluth location (half its size), but it still had places to sit and chill. The major difference is the lack of plexiglass here. Thank goodness.
Parking was pretty available as this place, and complex, can be quite empty at times.

Quickly’s bubble tea is still spot-​on. I got the regular milk tea with bubbles, so it’s a bit on the plain side, but I’m a purist. On this particular visit, I also tried the chicken nuggets. I usually don’t eat snacks like these, but I have to say it was decent. It’s made with dark meat only and these nuggets are fried in a batter with what might be tapioca starch and flour. They’re dusted with a spicy seasoning and you eat them out of a small paper bag with long toothpicks. It’s quite a treat for anyone who’s never had them before.
There are a few couches/​seats here, but it’s not exactly the place you want to stay at very long, however you can. I kind of prefer how much quieter it seemed in there than Sweet Hut, but we all know that Quickly vs Sweet Hut is not comparing apples to apples.
I’d definitely stop by if I’m in the area and craving bubble tea.

Small place. Girls at the register were really nice. I got the tapioca milk bubble tea and it was pretty good. The have a nice selection of appetizers. I ordered the fried oysters because a friend told me they were good. For $ 5.50 they give you 5 pretty big pieces… what a bargain for a snack. They have spice levels and I asked for little spicy. it was perfect.
They have a few seats and tables were you can lounge. Very simple and quiet.
Total of bubble tea with appetizers was a little under $ 9. Gave a $ 1 tip to the nice girls at the counter.

Between this Quickly and the Duluth one… I prefer this Quickly. The service here is nicer and the portion size in term of boba and jelly is more generous. Plus, I just have better experiences here. I have tried the following and really recommend them:
–Coffee Jelly Milk Teas
–Black milk teas
–Taro milk teas
–Chicken nuggets
–Fried fish balls
–fried corn balls
–Honey green tea with aloe
Also, this location is CASH only and you can get up to three toppings free. For the three toppings I usually get tapioca, coffee jelly, mixed jelly, and aloe vera. It’s all good! :D

I love their bubble tea flavors, but I come here mainly for their munchies — the two things I always order are their chicken nuggets (make em spicy!) and their fried oysters… mmm mmm. This place is not big but it is supposed to seat a fair amount of people with their comfortable amount of couches and chairs, but it gets very busy so most of the time you will have to take it to go. In the evenings, there’s usually not a place to sit. There are spots either early on in the day or that awkward gap that comes after lunch and before dinner. They only take cash. Everything is cheap too. When it’s not crowded, it’s a really good spot to catch up with friends if you’re not too hungry and just want to drink something and munch on some savory, fried goodies.
It’s also worth mentioning that I stayed until closing one night and I left my phone here. The owner helped charge my phone for me so it was fully charged when I got there the next morning to pick it up. So nice!

I can’t believe I have never reviewed this Quickly location. This was probably one of my first bubble tea experiences in Atlanta. There have been up’s and down’s with Quickly, but overall, I still can’t complain.
Quickly has the cheapest bubble tea in Atlanta that I have seen thus far. Unfortunately, it is cash only, but this location has an ATM located conveniently inside the store, and luckily for me, my bank waives all ATM fees (shameless plug for PNC Bank).
The chicken nuggets are on point. We sometimes order them to bring into the movie theater (yay for the big purse trend)! However, they are pretty fragrant, so the movie theaters who care may smell them pretty strongly…
In terms of bubble tea, I always order the green/​black teas. The milk teas are a little too sweet for me, although I’m always on board for a Jasmine Green Milk Tea with tapioca. You’re always welcome to ask for a double scoop of tapioca, free of charge! The Passion Green tea is one of my favorites. Last night, my friend and I split the XL Passion Green tea for 4.50! What a deal, it comes in a soup container sized cup — you can’t even call it a cup anymore at this rate. It’s the super-​sized version of bubble tea.
I hadn’t been here in a while, but things are definitely looking up here. They have made the venue cozier and easier to look at. Free Wi-​Fi appeared shortly after Sweet Hut was built to become more competitively aligned with product offerings. I do believe the service has become a little better as well (I don’t miss the rude little girls who used to work the register). I will have to keep in mind that Quickly will continue to be a valid stop for bubble tea in the future.

Relatively diverse drink menu. Look reasonably priced. I asked for less sugar with my peach (syrup) green tea drink with lychee. The aroma is fantastic and the lychee adequately sweet and flavorful. There are filling snacks, too. I didn’t try any.
Place is dimly lit. It’s a more intimate place than say, Sweet Hut.
There is limited comfortable seating with multiple couches sectioned off.
The staff is friendly staff and speaks English (and Taiwanese?) well.
Cash only!

cash only (insert crying emoji).
long lines.
it was a holiday?
but still!
(at least they have an atm inside).
