    We order from here often but our recent order of popcorn chicken we got a box full of SKIN. I hope it's not taking cues from the old Bento Box place that closed, serving less real food but charging the same or more.

    popcorn chicken bowl

    ORDERED - popcorn chicken bowl [$7.49] - spam and egg chicken bowl [$7.49] - fried tofu [$4.99] - taro mochi waffle [$3.99] STAFF every single time i go, i let the staff choose my drink because they haven't recommended anything i haven't liked yet. they're all super friendly and sociable; the typical cool college kids. DINING AREA there are a couple tables where you can eat or study inside and a larger table towards the back of the cafe where larger groups can meet. OVERALL i'm so upset that i didn't find out about this place sooner. i'm faithful to chewy boba and every since discovering quickly, i haven't been back since. i'm on a mission to try every single one of their creations (i've made it through all the fruit slushes and there wasn't one that i did not like). for some of their drinks, they offer a "chubby" size thats sort of like an "XL" size while some of their drinks only come in a large. the advantage that this place has over others is their food. i love their taro mochi waffles, fried tofu and popcorn chicken bowls. everything is fairly priced and great portions -- you can definitely get full off of one bowl. the only thing i can't recommend is their banh mi's though because they lack filling regardless of which sandwich you order. i highly recommend trying this place out and especially trying out one (or more) of their quickly creations. my favorites are black thaiger (milk tea) and lychee froze (fruit slush).

    Quickly boba is one of my husband and I's favorite spots for boba even when we were dating. It's quick (perfect name lol), you can pick sweetness and if you don't, it comes automatically with 75% sweetness which is the way I like it. The service is always friendly. They also have hot and cold sandwiches so it's a great spot for a quick lunch bite as well. We like going to the sushi spot next door and walking over here for boba as dessert after.

    Pretty good boba place that also serves up some food. This place has one of the most extensive list of fruit teas/milk teas/milk slushes/fruit slushes/combo drinks I've seen in Tampa. They also have a very long list of additions/toppings. They have shortened the list, likely because of COVID, but it's still longer than just about any other place in town. I had an Earl Grey milk tea, 50% sweet, with basil seeds. It was milky, just the right sweetness, and I liked the texture of the basil seeds (basil seeds are my favorite add in, and I was sad when BobaCup stopped having them as an option). I also ordered a spam musubi and a spicy popcorn chicken bowl. I loved the musubi, whose rice was well-pressed and heavily seasoned with furikake. The spicy popcorn chicken bowl was fine. The rice wasn't seasoned. The seaweed salad was very fishy/salty, definitely of a lower quality. The pickled veggies were fine. The chicken was good. I wished after I opened it up that I hadn't gotten it spicy as the spiciness comes from a sauce that decreased the crispiness of the chicken. The restaurant is in a minimall just east of 56th. There's plenty of parking in the lot. The restaurant is set up for social distancing, and you must wear a mask. There's plenty of hand sanitizer available.

    Honestly, not bad! I mean, it's not the best boba I've ever had, but it's not the worst. It's definitely near the bottom of the list for boba, but not the worst (That title belongs to Krak Boba)! Now, the fruity/energetic/refreshing bobas are AMAZING! However, everything else is... definitely a work in progress . This place is a good boba stop if you're craving boba and there's nothing else in the vicinity. Sidenote: I was slightly ticked that they're marketing this towards USF students (I mean, it has USF in its yelp name), yet they didn't have any discounts for students.

    I came to this Quickly after eating spicy hotpot around the corner. To be honest, I know what Quickly tea tastes like, as I have been drinking it for over 10 years. 10 years ago, Quickly was popular Taiwanese style bubble tea that was popular in larger US cities. But, now even in Taiwan the taste is cleaner. To me, the classic Quickly milk tea tastes like a mix of cigarettes and chocolate milk with a little bit of tea flavor. Therefore, I came to this location for the Taro Mochi Waffle. It was nice to eat, but I recommend that they add some levening to make it fluffier, it was deflated. But, it was fun to eat with the little sticks and dip into condensed milk. For studying and socializing with friends, I did find this location to be quite nice. The plaza is very quiet and there is plenty of seating. The music was a little loud to hear others talking, but the staff was very kind and patient.

    Just stopped here quickly

    Some Boba shops make their milk tea THICKLY Some make their fruit drinks sweet and SICKLY Some get their tea from PIGGLY WIGGLY But you'll find good Boba drinks at QUICKLY Don't blame me if your sisters PICK ME Don't blame me if your girlfriends LICK ME Not my fault if your boyfriends want to D**K ME Anyway, wanna go for Boba at QUICKLY? WHAT I thought I'd quickly review this wonderful Tampa boba shop. My notes said: One of the best Quickly I have been to and they don't even kick people out at closing. Made a lovely guava tea and insanely friendly. Loved it.   The service here is off the charts friendly, and while most Quickly drinks (at other locations, especially in Atlanta), are pretty iffy and bad, it's not so much the case here. In fact, if you pick right and get the right syrup in your fruit drink for example, you might actually like your boba as much as I did, which will be a surprise if you've tried a lot of other Quicklys. Sure, I've been disappointed in the past, but my guava was excellent. The decor was big and comfy and expansive and the place was full of friendly college students, not least those working here. There's masses of space in here and the servers (especially the one who rung me up) are so extraordinarily friendly that there's no way it's not getting five stars from me. So there isn't much more to say You should come here later on today And when your drink is over Go get some more Boba From the Quickly Boba Cafe!

    Since my trip to Arizona just a short while ago, I've been craving a delicious replacement for the boba I got in Chandler/Mesa. I stopped in because it had great reviews. The interior is plain Jane, but this could be because of covid, but it's not a place I would actively seek out to work in or relax in. The lighting is dim to be relaxing, but with the dark walls, kinda just comes off shadowed inside. The cashier was friendly and there was no line at all. I ordered a large caramel milk tea with boba. They do have a sign at the register to advise drinks are not made at full sweetness, but all you have to do is request the drink to be me made at your preferred sweetness level. The drink was perfect sized, but I will say I was a little disappointed with how many boba were actually in my drink. I think I got spoiled by the boba place in the mall. Overall the drink was delicious and the boba was soft and chewy. The straw comes in a single serve wrapper, but it is a little flimsy. Don't break your straw trying to put it through the plastic seal. All in all not a bad price for why I got. I'd return again to try other flavors from their huge menu! Wish they had a reward card or something for returning customers as these drinks aren't cheap. Maybe there is one and I'm just unaware of it.

    We were looking for a quick cafe to have drink and decided to have drinks at Quickly Boba Cafe USF. For the order I ordered Thai Tea and Jasmine tea.The servers were professional and answered my questions very well. The cafe has an amazing decor and I could see different people enjoying. I got my order in around 5 minutes with the Teas. Thai Tea as well as Jasmine Tea were tasty and delicious. They both were good and we loved its taste. It was fresh and we loved them. Will visit again next time definitely to try different food which is on the menu.

    I la la love this boba spot. This and one other in the area have my heart. This spot is awesome and has super friendly owners! The drinks are always on point (so many options to choose from), prices are reasonable, the atmosphere is chill/friendly, there are games/activities to do, plenty of aesthetic seating, wi-fi, restrooms, etc. I recommend this place and think you won't regret giving it a try! :-) Enjoy~

    Pork bahn mi. Not much filling and took 20 minutes for them to make
    Kimberly D.

    For a place named Quickly, they aren't very quick with the service. I've been a fan of Quickly's since trying to in Orlando, but the lone Tampa location near USF doesn't quite measure up. I ordered a pork bahn mi sandwich and somehow it took 20 minutes for them to make it. There was little meat inside, so at least they only charge $5 for it. It's not a filling sandwich, but it will hold you over as a snack. I've had their spam musubi, which I enjoyed. You can buy one for $2.99 or 2 for $5. Quickly's drinks are their strong points. I enjoy their milk teas and slushes alike. Their prices are competitive to the other boba places in the area. I really like how you can choose your drink's sweetness, because everyone has different preferences. The staff is always friendly when I go. The inside is always clean and tidy, with lots of different types of seating (regular tables, couches, bar, and high tops) and games for entertaining. I enjoy Quickly's drinks and definitely recommend them if you are craving a sweet treat.

    Been coming to Quickly Boba since it opened this year, and I forget to write a review! Conveniently located near USF in the same plaza as Applebee's. It's centered between Cici's Pizza and Tokyo Sushi. It may look small on the outside, but there's plenty of seating inside. Very trendy and comfortable with small tables and a large table to do work, and a couch to lounge. Plenty of board games to chill with friends. What makes Quickly a unique franchise boba shop is that it feels like a local mom & pop shop. The owners and college students working are always helpful, warm and welcoming. Quickly has an extensive menu. They offer not only the typical boba tea drinks, but also unique foods, and drink combinations. Everything is pretty much customizable when it comes to drink sweetness to toppings. My favorites include Black Tiger (Viet coffee/Thai tea), Cherry Rose Milk Tea (loose-leaf/soy milk), and Fried Tofu bento (lightly fried tofu, kimchi, edamame, wakame salad, white rice, and Thai chili dipping sauce)! Tip: Grab a rewards card, you'll come often and it'll be worth the free drink in the end!

    Very friendly staff, the 2 guys from today(May 16) they were very patient and let me take my time to decide what I wanted. The one guy who wore glasses took our order and was sure to read back my order to make sure he got everything correct. I usually come to this location whenever I visit Tampa. They always do everything right. Definitely come here if you want quality service.

The inside is a decent size with tables, cute decor and lots of plants. When I first walked in, I was taken back by how beautiful the pastry display cases were!! I had the hardest time choosing which pastry to get because they all looked like works of art!! Super friendly staff, great service but now to get to the goods: the coffee and pasties. This is a true authentic French bakery, no doubt in my mind. The iced salted caramel latte is the best I have EVER had. I could taste every flavor and it blended with the coffee perfectly. The ham and cheese croissant was so flakey, the perfect ham ratio and just all around fantastic. The pastry I got had raspberry jam and white chocolate ganache (I don't remember the name of it) and it was seriously the best pastry I've ever had. Most pastries can be too sweet, but this was just right. The jam tasted fresh and homemade (probably is!) and the white chocolate ganache gave it just a touch of sweetness. It is a little pricey so be warned: $48 for two coffees and two pastries. Definitely worth a splurge!!

I'm always looking for a good place for corned beef hash that is homemade. They also were not stingy with the amount of meat for the hash. The eggs were perfectly cooked. I ordered pumpernickel toast and it came perfectly toasted and buttered. They also use premium jam, Dickinson's red raspberry jam in a little jar. It was a nice touch. To drink I had an iced chai latte. I do not know of many places that actually brew it from scratch with chai tea leaves and spices. My husband tasted it and thought it was as good as what you would get in an Indian tea stall. It does not have any sweetener in it, but has lots of flavor. It was brewed just the way we like it. I don't like places that use sweetened chai concentrate. So be patient while they brew it fresh for you. We also ordered French toast, which was challah bread that had been soaked to give that custard flavor and feel. They also put a little bit of butter on top of the French toast, which adds a nice salty creamy flavor. We were surprised that they were not super busy for breakfast. I would highly suggest trying this place for a wonderful breakfast treat.

It was explained to me that the cold brew was in fact Joffrey's mix and it's Jamaican Me Crazy Flavored. The drink was disposed of. No refund was offered. Had no appetite for cheesecake at that point. Our other drink was served hot instead of iced. Nice outdoor seating. Update to respond to owner- Wow, I appreciate your response but it was not quite "accurate" itself. When I took the cold brew inside to ask about what I was served and was informed that it was not made in house as I was told, and that it was flavored (specifically not what I had requested) I explained I couldn't drink it and asked what could be done. They said "at this point nothing." I think dropped the drink in the trash in front of them. I returned outside, wrote my review, and told the people I was with. My 13 year old niece who I was visiting said "that's insane, I'm going to go get your refund." And sure enough they did! But my review had been written. According to her your staff was not at all accommodating about the refund, but they did provide it. Also, as for etiquette concerns for the party I was visiting family and friends that were already on your patio. I can't vouch for how long they were there or what they did or did not receive. So to recap- I came in with my sister, we ordered 2 drinks. Both were wrong. One was fixed and the other was disposed of. There was a refund after the fact but not to me.
