Had to update this review. The owner of the company reached out and made my experience right. Thank you Quickly Boba!

This Quickly location is in the Monterey Canning Company center. Parking may be difficult here - a bit hit or miss , as it is a busy touristy area. The shop was a bit difficult to find - very easily missed, if you are not paying attention. Decent service for a little boba stand inside a small little shopping center. I ordered a jasmine / green milk tea with boba, grass jelly, and rainbow jelly in the chubby cup. Great cup size for all my toppings. My drink was not the best - the drink itself was very bitter and gritty, while the toppings tasted a bit sourish. I only drank less than 25% of it before having to toss it away. read more

Jasmine green tea and green tea with lychee jelly and passionfruit! Lol how both these teas come out completely different colors is beyond me, but my tea tasted really strong get sweet?! And I did not want any sugar. I ended up waiting for all the ice to melt before I drink the rest of it, but it seemed like there were young teenagers working there, and they were polite, but I'm sure if they just have a weekend job. Lol. Everything was fast and organized with my order, I just don't understand why the tease came out two different colors. I also thought it was cute how they had a number of different Schlotzky's one could buy out in front as well as Asian snacks! Hee read more

After visiting the aquarium, we were digging a cold drink! Came across this small shop a few minutes away from the aquarium. The owner was giving out free samples, which is what helped us make our decision! We got two drinks. Thai tea with egg pudding and vanilla Chai. They were both pretty good! Not too sweet! Just how we like our drinks. Pricing was fair and good size drinks. Overall I recommend this tea shop! read more

Me and my sisters came here for a refreshing drink. We both ordered a Tiger milk tea boba. Not only did the drinks come out slow but it wasn't even what we ordered. The drink we got tasted like soap/ dirty water . We complained to the lady who made it, she did seem new at the job but was nice. Apparently she made us the TJ drink? The owner was there as well. The owner was nice about it and gave us the nasty drinks for free. We then showed her pictures of what we wanted. The owner told the lady if she knew how to make it. The lady she does know how to make it blah blah blah. We waited for like 20 seconds then BOOM we got our drinks. Here's the funny part. She made the drinks wrong again. The lady made us freaking thai tea. No wonder it only took 20 seconds. There's a clear difference between a tiger milk tea and thai tea. The thai tea was okay but it wasn't what we ordered! Staff needs better training or something.... I would definitely not come again. read more

Lives up to its name, it was pretty quick (even with my complicated order lol). Customer service is nice, the drinks are amazing, and they added everything I asked for! Would definitely recommend! read more

Bad taste boba experience there. Ordered a large Almond Boba and it tasted is plain milk water.

I got the brown sugar milk tea and it was alright. First it was $8 a bit expensive for how good it was. Next the drink was made pretty quickly but the boba was very soft and not chewy. read more

Very nice lady working today. Boba is soft and sweet. Jasmine tea is very floral. And they have brown sugar tea. The waffle is sweet and chewy too! read more

The two staff working were super friendly. We ordered a hot ginger milk tea with red bean. We also ordered an iced classic milk tea. We then got cold from the weather and asked if they can make it hot, and they helped us heat it up. The staff are very kind. The boba was a little chewy but not too bad. Drinks were too sweet for me so next time I would ask for things to be less sweet. There's a little area outside with snacks if you want to purchase any. read more

Quickly Boba Monterey - a person holding up a cup of coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monterey, California

Quickly is its own level because back in 2000s it was the only kind of milk tea I knew about haha which means, I know what it is supposed to taste like! Staff is sweet But man skip this place, doesn't even taste like the pre-made milk tea that I was expecting for, for nostalgic purposes Bb and I threw away our drinks after 10 minutes read more

Quickly Boba Monterey - Milk tea with boba - skip - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monterey, California

This place was disgusting. My boyfriend and I came to this place wanting a drink after visiting the shops inside and the girl there informed us everything was pre made even the Thai tea. My boyfriend got a watermelon green tea and I got a jasmine milk green tea both had a weird moldy taste to it almost like hard water. My jasmine milk tea wasn't sweet at all and we did not adjust the sweetness for reference . The boba texture was the only good thing I have to say about this place don't waste $14 on these sad excuses of drinks. read more

This place never opened on time. I was there at 10 as it said on the website and they didn't open I gave up at 11:10 and it still wasn't open. I was there for an hour and 10 minutes plus the food is only dairy free. I guess it's a good thing but maybe say before you go to the place that it is only coconut milk so check before you go there. Some of the prices are outrageous for a small Boba tea. It is almost 9 dollars and for a Moochie waffle it is $9.50 and they are super small. Also if you want any Boba or anything it cost almost a dollar read more

I got a taro milk tea with boba it was very bland. The girl that took my order was nice they also offered me a partial refund for the mishap. read more

This was my first time at this location and had a little difficulty finding the business. But once I did find it I probably walked passed it several times over the years. I met the owner Sal and he was friendly and helpful and even offered to re make my drink after I realized that I ordered the wrong drink. I will definitely return soon. read more

My favorite boba place in the area with the most options :) lots of teas and lots of toppings as well as frequent discounts on certain teas. Right in the middle of cannery row so good for when you're walking around or visiting. very well worth the price and very nice manager. read more

Some of the best boba ive ever had! Lady at the front was very friendly and took our orders after the place had technically closed. I ended up getting the strawberry slush with boba bubbles after trying a sample. As I am only visiting Monterey for a couple days, I'm glad I found this little gem of a shop before I left, as I likely won't be back here for some time. Don't listen to negative reviews, this place is sweettt read more

First and foremost the Boba here is delicious. Top notch, I have had boba and milk tea countless times in my life and this is right at the top. Service is excellent and efficient. Portions are large and prices are reasonable. Don't miss it you are in cannery row, as this will keep you up and ready to go for a fun time out in Monterey! read more

I'd drive further to San Jose Silicon Valley for better milk tea....if you want quick bubble tea experience this may be your shop. If you are picky about your tea, and you want milk tea made by hand brewed tea and real milk, you may want to go further to Bay Area.. read more

Yesterday was National Boba Day and of course, my sister and I had to treat ourselves to boba! All other boba stores in the area were closed, so we were so happy this was open (due to the covid 19 pandemic)! Honestly got lost finding this place since this was our first time getting boba here (we usually go elsewhere) but surprisingly our drinks were good! Good as in satisfies your boba craving but not out of this world amazing. I ordered the classic black milk tea w/ boba (regular size) and my sister ordered lychee black tea w/ lychee jelly (regular size), both 100% regular sweetness. Tastes like Coco boba shop quality, not the highest quality but not horrible/the worst either. We called in for takeout, our drinks were ready right when we got there. Overall rating: 3/5 for my drink, 4/5 for my sister's drink, 4/5 for service because the staff member who took our call seemed confused/unsure as if they don't normally take phone orders but we were so thankful they did!! Maybe she was nervous, but she was friendly when I went pay during pickup! Super easy in & out. Definitely recommend if you have a boba craving! read more

Proper good bubble tea and drinks. Jasmine milk tea is my favorite. Friendly service with a smile read more

So typically, boba is always good. This is the first time my bf and I can't finish the drink because it was that bad. The boba had a weird sourness to it. My taro slush was bland af. It's a disgrace to the quikly brand read more

it's really small for a regular size thai tea i don't recommend coming here and some of the drinks taste like tap water

DISAPPOINTED! The boba was disgusting! It was a weird texture & sour in the middle, the boba was also all clumped together! There was a girl working who bent over the counter and rubber her hands all over a mans beard I guess he was a friend who just got hired and then proceeded to make our drinks without washing her hands UPDATE: The owner seems to harass people who leave honest reviews. Stay away from this place! Update Maria continues to harass me because of my review. I've reported her to yelp. She's a bully read more

Quickly Boba Monterey - The owner responding to my review - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monterey, California

This place is amazing. I've been going here for a little over a year with my friends. They have a wide variety of flavors and tea styles to choose from, as well as topping types. I've never been disappointed by Quickly and bring my friends here whenever we're in the area. It's pretty affordable for Boba and the service is great. I'd personally recommend the mango milk tea, passionfruit green tea, and the Rose milk tea are my personal favorites. The mango star and popping Boba toppings are great to try out as well. read more

Staff was really nice and efficient..but as mentioned in other reviews the drinks just aren't good. Boba is too soft and the tea taste like...mildly flavored water. And I'm not that picky about boba but...I was disappointed after this visit. read more

I was browsing around Cannery row about a week ago and stumbled upon this place. A couple of guys were tasting all the different Thai ice tea flavors and I joined in. Lady behind the counter, Maria, was very welcoming. Pretty much every flavor I tried was great. After tasting a few flavors and chatting with Maria in the process I walked away with Thai ice coffee with boba. Something to satisfy a sweet tooth yet not too sweet, so you don't feel guilty later on. Long story short...a few days later I noticed that my credit card was missing. Checked transactions - last one was at Quickly. Went there to check and Maria was like - dude, you forgot your credit card here almost a week ago, what took you so long? Needless to say, happy customer here :-) read more

Wow talk about watering down drink! I've never been to a quickly that tasted no plain and not sweet before, it's not like you can even choose the level of sweetness here. This is also the first quickly I've been to that somehow blends the egg pudding into the drink instead of just scooping the pudding into the cup. As Gordon Ramsey would say "bland and flavorless". read more

Super helpful Maria for assisting my wife when she had to contact the property manager for her missing phone. Will definitely stop by again in her cozy place to order the great drinks and deserts read more

The drinks landed in the garbage can at the end of the hall. QUICKLY is not the top of the boba food chain, but this location is a new low. If you want flavored water and crunchy boba, go here. Mmmmm....tasty. read more

It was the worst I've ever had. Asked for a remake, it was worse. Asked for an extra cup of milk to cut the nastiness and I was milk diluted with water. This place needs to close. read more

Friendly staff and quick service. A huge selection to choose from and a helpful crew to select your choice! Our drinks were delicious and the boba had the perfect texture. read more

Quickly Boba Monterey - Thai milk tea with boba and taro slush - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monterey, California

The employees did not interact with the customers at all, aside from taking our order they only talked to each other the whole time. The boba clumped together and the Thai tea and caramel latte was very watered down(update: milked down boba). The prices were pretty average however not worth the money. read more

holy moly the strawberry green tea and i assume for any of their fruit teas have a nasty taste... the water they used for the tea tastes like how the bathroom smells nasty syruppy taste and they also charge 90c for a topping...wish i could give 0 stars read more

Great boba & quick friendly service . Very refreshing and nice while walking by the water

I ordered from here on Uber eats for a friends birthday since corona doesn't allow much these days. I added a note if they could write "Happy Birthday" and they definitely did. She enjoyed it very much, thank you! read more

Quickly Boba Monterey - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Monterey, California

AMAZINGLY delicious! What I love most about them is their variety! They have tons of flavors of milk tea, sea salt cream which is my FAVE, and lots of different boba and popping boba! My go to is Okinawa Milk Tea or Wintermelon Milk Tea with strawberry popping boba! So good! Also love their waffles and egg puffs! The only thing I wish they would do is have bamboo straws like boba places in San Jose do, instead of the horrible paper straws. read more

I'm getting pretty burned out by the ongoing harassment messages from my previous bad review from this business. I don't regret the review I made, but I really wish they'd just move on from my review. They spend their days focusing on messaging me from different accounts, I think it's time to spend that effort on training their employees. I won't ask anymore, please stop messaging or I'll have to open up a case with Yelp. read more

This is delicious!!! I called ahead for pick-up and the nice lady on the phone kept my order in the fridge till I got there. Great service and great boba! Totally recommend. read more
