Quickly

During the summer, I went here every Sunday morning with my small group from church for fellowship. The staff let us have discussions here and they even turn down the music so that we can hear each other. They have 99 cent specials. I usually get green tea. You can also get milk tea (without pearls), but it’s pretty good. Their egg puffs and other snacks are really good, but some of my friends say their drinks suck. One of my friends didn’t even touch his drink, because it was that bad, according to him.
But I enjoy coming here. Just go for the basic drinks and you won’t go wrong. They have free wifi, so that’s pretty nice too :)

A definite go-​to place for boba. Especially with their promo of 99c milk tea! The siblings and I like coming here since the promo milk tea is so cheap (does not include boba). I think the snacks here are pretty good too (egg puffs, popcorn chicken, squid/​octopus). The cashiers are always different, unremarkable service, but not bad. They have a few TVs that is always playing Kpop/​Asian music videos, which I like. And they also have games/​magazines to entertain yourself while you wait. This plaza’s parking spaces are TINY and it’s hard to find parking since hordes of Asians go to the Marina Supermarket over there. This place is good price for decent boba so we’ll come often in the future!

I like Quickly. Good selection, they have at least a hundred of drink options. I pity indecisive folks who go here to get a drink, they are probably stuck here for hours.
Anyways, I like the drinks and the snacks here and they are relatively inexpensive compared to similar places. They truly are fast as the name indicates the drinks comes out in less than a minute.

Used to not like this place when it first open because they were so slow making the drinks.
Came back here few weeks ago just because I want it cheap milktea. Currently they are having regular milktea or green tea for only 99 cents! So cheap and it taste just like how a milktea would taste like.
They don’t put basil in their chicken… must be a quickly thing but whatever.
I would come here whenever i craves milktea =)

Horrible service and my expectations are pretty low to begin with. so TWO STARS):
When I first walk in and wait by the counter to order my drink, no one greets me even though there are two people clearly standing behind the counter doing something. They can at least say «give me one minute or i’ll be right there with you». I was just awkwardly standing there waiting for them to acknowledge me. Rude.
I had to make a $ 5 minimum so I can pay with my card so I ordered a normal milk tea with small boba and coffee bricks and a green tea. Turns out they are out of coffee bricks and it’s not a $ 5 minimum. Fine. I switch my order to without the coffee bricks and a strawberry shaved ice. Turns out they are out of shaved ice… I dont understand. Anyways, I had to order popcorn chicken, which I didnt even end up enjoying because it is over fried and too greasy and mostly starch/​dough than chicken.
It seriously took them 5 minutes to make my regular boba drink. Unprofessional. It should be taking 30 seconds, considering they use powder anyways.
I didn’t give 1 star because they have cheap drinks. But tsk tsk, Quickly’s, you can do a lot better!

Are you in heat???
Do you want some boba?
You craving for fried tenticles?
If you say YES to any of this, then you are at the right place. Quickly is my go to place when I want something to beat the heat. I always get the Snow Bubble (in Avocado ($ 4+) or Mango Jelly Drink, Fried octopus (too oily but OK) and their egg puffs (not overly sweet so it’s good). They do have rice meal but I never get to try any of them. I guess I am too lazy to look at their menu posted on the wall… ONE WHOLE SIDE OF A WALL!!!
. They also have happy hour prices after 9pm (hmmmm…after 9pm is still called Happy Hour?)
The staff are all kids or at least that’s how everybody looks like except for the owner. The service can be slow at times, it happens when they are letting a trainee make your drinks. There are TVs inside the store which plays non stop Chinese MTV.
Go ahead… Cool yourself with their drinks…

Quickly is ehhhh. Its not the best pearl tea I have ever had, but its not the worst either. It satisfies your pearl tea craving. I would much rather have Fantasia or Verde Tea in Mountain View. Much better pearl tea. Also, the menu at Quickly is too extensive. I have always been a fan of the less if more with menus and this one has just way too much. I am sure I will be back at this place, but only because I am in the neighborhood.

I would like to give them 0 stars.
The promotion of a free milk tea is a joke.
You have to download an application. You then have to check in. That’s fine. The app is free and it’s not hard to check in.
The app wasn’t working on my phone so the two (dumb) guys working were trying to complete the check in. They then told me I had to connect to their wifi, did that. It still didn’t work. They played around with it for another couple minutes. And then they told it is my phone, and this particular deal and application ONLY works with an iPhone 4. Clearly, my phone is not an iPhone 4, it’s a 3GS. Anyone who watches tv, seen the news, has friends, basically if you don’t live under a rock, you know the difference between an iPhone 4 and any other iPhone.
I’m 100% sure there is no difference between iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4 apps. All apps are pretty much the same.
These kids were definitely high school, and acted like they were in high school.
All in all, wasted 13 minutes of my time, no free milk tea, and meet two of the dumbest Asians I have been acquainted with now.

This is my favorite Quickly in the area. Why? They make the BEST egg puffs.
Okay so their egg puffs are the only ones I’ve ever had, but still, I always think about them. I wish they were closer to me so I could buy them everyday. I can’t seem to find anywhere else with egg puffs!
I wish they used FiveStars like the rest of the Quicklys in the Bay Area do though because I can’t use my card there to earn free drinks. Boo!

My feelings are still mixed about this place; I’m glad there’s a quickly’s in the warmsprings district and it lives up to Quickly’s standards but I’m still iffy on the quality of food. This place still has a lot of potential if it gets more attention.
This location seems pretty new to the area; it’s very clean and not a lot of customers are around (well. probably because I walked in a weekday afternoon like around 1pm). Anyways, I came in for lunch and ordered the teriyaki chicken and rice w/​thai ice tea. Came out to be $ 10 bucks but I guess that’s what I get for getting food and a large milk tea.
It took about 10 – 12 minutes for my teriyaki to be served (usual time I suppose), but when I got home to eat it I was kind of disappointed. Aside from the chicken having some inedible parts (cartilage and whatnot), the teriyaki was a bit too salty for me. Not anyone’s fault but it wasn’t as good as I thought it was going to be.
Overall, I think this place is alright but I probably wouldn’t think about this place if I’m in the mood for milk tea.

I am Asian and I love my big black bobas!
I always went to Verde Café in Milpitas or Tea Station, but since they have this happy hour thing going on after 9 PM, I decided to hop on by.
It’s pretty close to where I live, so whenever I’m craving some black tea goodness, I’ll come here and order fried calamari with a milk tea. Egg puffs are yummy here, too. Sometimes, if i’m feeling extra adventurous, I’ll order something unique like the mango/​coconut jelly juice-​but-​smoothie-​textured special.
The staff here are so friendly! They always try to help you out as much as possible, and cook everything so quickly. :) I love how it’s a sort of new establishment, so it’s not crowded with teenagers (like the tapioca express near Mission), but there are still a couple of people just on their computers or reading gossip magazines. I do, however, want to add that they should update their magazines. I mean, come on. I was reading InTouch from last year that had Angelina Jolie pregnant news.
Other than that, please give this place a try. You might end up liking big black bobas as much as I do!

Love this quickly. :]

You know how most of the Quickly joints have signs that advertise new food and poor grammar? This one doesn’t have the poor grammar. I’m just impressed! But that’s not why this Quickly is my favorite Quickly.
They have a milk tea happy hour – jasmine milk, black milk, and a few other drinks that are only 1.79 after 9pm. or 8pm, I forget. They also have this rewards system where you enter your phone number when you make a purchase and after like 300 points you get a free drink. Not a reward as easily received as stamp card rewards, but wow this is a great start for Quickly. I’ve never seen any type of reward, card, happy hour, BOGO, etc at ANY Quickly and it’s great to finally find one that at least has a reward and happy hour. Gives me more of an incentive to go out here.
Butttt I did come here once and order baby pearls in my tea… I had about 5 chunks of regular sized pearls in there. So my tiny straw was stuck sucking up huge balls, then it’d surprise me and shoot up my throat. Blegh!

Um, I’m pretty sure that was the manager from TapEx buying drinks from here. That either tells you this Quickly’s is that good, or that TapEx is that bad. :)
The only complaint? Um, how about the HS’ers coming from badminton practice? Silly highschooler, you will never deceive me! I know that’s a badminton racquet hiding in a tennis racquet bag. Just kidding, badminton is an awesome hobby.
Honest complaint, though: Service can be a bit slow, especially if you’re waiting on like 4 orders of bubble wrap… I mean, egg puffs.

This Quickly is so clean and spacious compare to the one in Milpitas. They have a special offer that is going on right now. Buy one drink get the second one half off. I love it! I will definitely come back for more. Actually, I came back twice in a row.

I was pretty happy that we ended up here. My hot almond tea with pearls was excellent and all my friends seemed happy with their drinks. We tried the sweet potato fries which were gobbled up in an instant.
It was roomy enough for my book club of 6 to meet and the clerk/​owner actually apologized that his blender was making too much noise. Now, that’s friendliness! There’s 3 big TVs to watch while you’re enjoying your drinks.

The environment feels very nice. The place is new, so the it was very clean and the atmosphere seemed pretty friendly.
Service had its up and downs:
Bad impression: When I walked into the store, I stood there for a few minutes waiting for someone to take my order. A lady was kneeling right behind the cash register doing something with money. She peeked at me after about a minute and left me standing awkwardly while she continued her doing whatever she was doing.
Good impression: The owner saw that I was standing around in front of the cash register and immediately ran up to me with a warm smile and took my order. He was pretty nice.
My order came very Quickly (haha, get it?). However, when I left the store, I noticed that they had messed up my order and forgot to put in pearls. No biggie, I walked back in the store and told them and the person who made my drink fixed it up and kept apologizing to me.
Taste? I can’t really judge on the milk tea. I ordered an Earl Gray Milk Tea and since it is my first Earl Gray, I cannot compare it to other stores but I found it okay. However, I am an almond milk tea guru so I will be sure to order that next time and update my review with my opinion on the taste. The pearls are fresh and chewy, though.
Summing it up: service was decent; other than the random lady who glanced at me and kept me waiting idly for a few minutes, the people who took my order were pretty nice.

This place is actually pretty good. I can only compare it to Tapioca Express though.
I had a milk tea and sweet potato fries. My mom ordered a chocolate milk tea. The tea was really good. Had a nice pleasant taste with no disgusting aftertaste. The sweet potato fries were decent. The drinks were not over-​priced and they have a nice «Buy one get one half off» deal.
The atmosphere is pleasant. They have a couple TVs if you’re into watching Asian music videos.
I like that they have a hard bench to sit on. (I prefer those to chairs and sofas. :D I know I’m a weirdo.)
5 stars because the people working there are pretty nice!

Wow, I know the Quickly’s arent fabulous places, this one still is a-​ok. It’s new, clean and I thought the service was decent. Hung out for an hour or so with my standard Almond Snow beverage. Now I know some of the other locales have «Intestine on a Stick» on their menu. Don’t see it here. what up with that? I used to love to bother one of my squeemish co-​workers with that item. «Hey they have your dish here! Intestine on a stick!» Hahahahahahah. Im an Asshole :)

I don’t eat at these Boba Tea places… but although the menu selection was huge (drink choice wise), don’t expect good service. Apparently the place is so new that they even had a «hiring» sign by the cash register. Did I mention that only 2 kids were working. Where was the manager and why did it take 15 minutes to make 3 lousy drinks? My drinks weren’t even complicated.
Needless to say, I may give it another shot but if no improvement, then I’m crossing this place off with a quickness.
There are tons of boba tea shops… so no need to tolerate crappy service and moderate quality tea for the same price somewhere else.
