Quickly

By far not the best branch of this chain. Glass door with broken handle, tiny area, limited menu selection, and the quality is hit or miss. Meh.

Quickly is one of the better bubble tea places. I walked a blocks out of the way to come here and passed 3 other bubble tea places to come here. I’ve ordered the passion fruit green tea and bubbles which I love and the taste is better than others.
It’s a small bubble tea place with absolutely no place to sit.
Student discount as well! And yes my old college ID still works.

Why are all the Quicklys closing down!!! This is a serious issue, because they make awesome bubble tea. One of the only places I can trust, because all the other bubble tea places, look good, but end up tasting horrible.
I like that here, they premix the tea. I hate when tea places mix in the powder as you order and then your bubble tea tastes like powder!
my favorites are the taro tea, the WOWs, plain milk tea, and the lychee tea. yum!
I really love their teas but sometimes they can be on the too sweet side.
They have special going on, order any tea and they give you the free upgrade to large size now! Also you get a student discount if you’re still in school.

This is a nice little place in Chinatown. I had the hot honey bubble tea, which was delicious. The workers were pretty nice and upbeat, which was great for me since it was my first time there. I would totally go back, this place was great.

Stopped by here after having some XLB at Joe’s Shanghai. I got the cold Milk Tea – pretty standard. Though I did notice that the tea was a little bit more bitter than what I’m usually used to. They also had a special going for a free upgrade from regular to large –sweeet.

Came here after I saw a 1 bed apartment down in the Two Bridges neighborhood. After I saw the place, I was thirsty and it was a hot day. I wanted to grab a drink somewhere but I couldn’t find anything that says «Deli» or «Groceries» since everything in this part of town is in Chinese and I didn’t even see a non-​Chinese person around to ask them for help. Anyways saw Quickly’s and decided to get a Slush with Boba. I got the Passion Fruit Slush with Boba. At $ 4 for the «BIG» (they mean «LARGE» but hey it’s Chinatown no? lol) I thought it was alright, nothing outstanding. Maybe their Bubble Milk Teas are better but to me, slush tasted cheap although it did quench my thirst on a scorching hot day. Service was quick (as their name states) and my drink was ready in a minute after I paid. I don’t they had or offer any food items in this particular Quickly’s as I think I saw food items in the one located in Flushing Main Street

i rarely go to this location — mostly go to the grand st. location since it’s more convenient for me.
i was trying to order a hot drink and they didn’t have it hot so i was a bit bummed. they said they had cold tho. how can you have COLD but NOT HOT?! =/​
so i ordered the cold one even tho it was cold out. i guess i’ll stick to the grand st. one unless i’m around here and want a quick bubble tea fix,

I need a lychee bubble green tea with boka, quickly!!! Quickly is always quick. They are the McDonald’s of bubble tea… next to the Mayor Hotel… you can get a Quickly Bubble Tea and get a quickie next door!!! ha! I’m sorry, my mind is permanently in the gutter. This location is small and just minutes from moi. YES!!!
The guy who works there always smiles at me. Laugh at my stupid jokes. and is quick about my Quickly.
I always get a large for $ 4 and get my card stamped. After 5 stamps you get a small for free. They dont upgrade the small to a large and let you pay the difference… too bad they could have done a UPSELL and gotten a dollar from me! They should rethink the upselling! Learn from the theatres and McD’s! Upsell, upsell, upsell. Not only do you get a free drink after 5 stamps… you can keep the card and be a Quickly VIP which will get you 20% off from then on. YAY.
Next time I go order it and the guy who laughs at my jokes are there… I am totally going to say this straight faced… can I have a large Lychee Green Tea with Boba flavored crack please. Hold the ice! And make it Quickly!

So I’ve been to a few Quickly places around NYC and I’ve got to say the people that work there are some lazy ass people and don’t know wtf they’re doing. at least the one that have taken my order. I have even had to change my order 3 times because the people don’t know what the heck to do. Even if you tell them all they have to do is and add a simple ingredient and you don’t mind paying for the extra ingredient, they still will not make it.
All I wanted was Honey Almond Milk Tea.
This Quickly however was accommodating and it tasted just like the one all Quicklys’ in California.
At first David (he looks like a David) gave me a weird face and asked what that was after saying sorry we don’t have that… I laughed and said Oh really? It’s just Almond Milk Tea which you have right on the board and add some Honey. He then gave an OK and made the order with for me. I said with Boba. and then again a weird face, so I had to say with Tapioca Balls. We both laughed and he proceeded with the two orders. He even asked for my student I.D. for a dc (just some luck I didn’t have it, but it’s okay)…
He was kind enough to repeat my order and mad ensure that all he had to do was add some Honey. How’d it taste? He got it down to the T and it helped cool us down during the Heat Wave of what felt over 100° outside. The boba wasn’t over cooked either. I’ll be coming to this Quickly and not the others (other Quickly in Chinatown and Chinatown Brooklyn).
Thank You David, we enjoyed the drink very much.

If you are solely a green tea person, please do try their regular bubbled iced green tea with a hint of sugar! =)

So I’ve seen Quickly a few times, but was never curious enough to go try it. Well, today I was in the mood for some bubble tea after my weekly fix of Chinese food and I thought I’d give it a try. The moment I walked in I felt like I was back in Taipei… something about the design, maybe the bright colors and cute Asian girls in brightly colored uniforms screams Taipei to me, and upon going home to do some research it looks like I was justified in thinking so.
Since it was warm, I went with the almond slushy. $ 4 for a large… not too bad, flavorful, but not overly sweet. I like it and I’ll definitely be making more stops whenever I’m walking by one. Now if I can just remember to bring my really old student id with me…

Quickly is a good place for some good tea drinks. You really have a lot of flavors and combinations to choose from. I’m a big fan of the combination: lemon, black tea and lychee. Good stuff. $ 3 for a small, $ 4 for a large tea. A little pricey, I guess, but once in a while is good. These drinks are a little sweet, but still good.

They have a smaller selection of drinks than the other Quickly’s, in terms of food and drinks, but at least they were fast. No seating here.

I like quickly.
I think that’s the exact same thing I said when I reviewed the Quickly in Elmhurst, Queens. It is true, I think Quickly is a great chain. I’m sure there’s better boba tea out there, but I know Quickly is pretty consistently satisfying.
But mostly I like it because of the plastic film-​topped cups.

Came here to satiate my sweet tooth. Loved it.
*Student Discount for COLD drinks ONLY.*
**For those lactose intolerant: They do not have lacaid milk or soy milk.**
Décor: 2.5÷5
–Pretty typical
–No place to sit
Service: ³⁄₅
–They had some issues understanding our request but finally I got what I had wanted.
Bubble Tea: 4.5÷5
–J.T.M. with red bean ($ 3). Jelly herb + Tapioca + Milk Tea. This was served warm. Not hot enough to burn your taste buds. This was filling because they put in red beans.
–Rose Tea with Milk Tea and Tapioca: this was served HOT. Flavorful and milky. Recommended if you enjoy tea.
–Earl Grey with Milk Tea: Didn’t really taste like Earl Grey (I’m used to Twinings Earl Grey).

Quickly is a decent bubble tea shop but not the best. I got the longan tea and it is sweet and warm. I wish they put real longan fruit in the tea as well. My boyfriend got the almond milk tea and it is very sweet too. However, I think their bubbles are too soggy.

Average Bubble Tea and Shake place located within Chinatown and didn’t bring much to the table. $ 5 for a regular drink seemed higher than what I was expecting although I haven’t been shopping around for bubble tea in the northeast as often as I would like.
Boba was a little too gummy, but at least it didn’t fall in the other extreme of having a somewhat firm texture.

Normal people reach for water during a Saturday afternoon bike ride. Me? I look to bubble tea for my hydration.
Saw this Quickly under the Manhattan Bridge and made a quick stop for my standard green milk tea. UGH. Really not good. The milk had too much of a powder taste, the tapioca pearls weren’t sweet enough and lacked proper texture, the drink was overpriced. Also, the lady behind the cash register looked like she would rather watch linoleum curl than take my drink order.
If you’re looking for good bubble tea, head to Saint’s Alp, Ten Ren, Vivi, somewhere else… but Quickly run away from this location. Quickly, I tell you, Quickly (the capitalization is meant to be a pun, please laugh).
Note: This review is purely for this location. I’ve been to other Quicklys (e.g. Grand & Bowery) which fared much better, so I’m not giving 1 star to the entire chain… just this store.

Where is the giant Quickly Cup?!?
This is a NEW Quickly Bubble Tea place!
So now if I’m on the East side of Chinatown (E. Broadway and Allen area by the F-​subway) I don’t have to run to 11 Pell or 237 Grand St. for a Quickly Fix.
The new place is on the ground floor of the new Mayor Hotel.
For you lucky few don’t forget your student ID for the discount! (but I’m not sure if this store is offering it)

Swung by Quickly’s new location — the third in Manhattan — in the old Kung Fu Bing space across from Xi’an Famous Foods.
Opened about 2 weeks ago, this location serves up a good assortment of bubble teas, milk teas, slush drinks, and snacks.
I got the watermelon milk shake at $ 3.75 which was light and tasty, especially on a hot summer day.
Unfortunately, there is no seating, so take your drink to go. Too bad, even the old Kung Fu Bing made room for a bar and a few stools.
Don’t forget to get a stamp card. Buy 5 drinks, get a free one. Plus 20% off any purchase of a cold drink. The card includes a full drink menu, which is helpful if, like me, you can’t make decisions under pressure!
