I've never been here before and today all the bubble tea places near me were closed, so I tried it out. The brown sugar boba only comes in a large here, but it was no problem. It tasted really good! And the prices were so good! read more

Quickly - Brown sugar boba milk tea - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

I can never understand the guy who works behind the counter on weekdays. He speaks about 20% of English, and the rest is Chinese. My Mandarin is not great, so forget about any means of communicating with him in Chinese. I have spent a total of 6 minutes in one day, trying to tell him, "NO BUBBLES!", when he consecutively asks me, "No bubble?". No pompa! After all that effort, my drink still has bubbles. read more

Quickly always makes perfect Taro Milk Tea with just the right amount of sweetness. This time I ordered Oolong Milk Tea Tapioca just to see if it was as good as Chatime in Flushing since they decided to remove it off their menu (What a bummer!), and I wasn't disappointed it at all. The tea was great for $3.75 for a Large cup. read more

This review was being made because of the bad experience from the 2 guys working here around 5pm today at 2/23: I happened to be in the area and decided to get Quickly. I had a drink at another location but didn't see it on the menu so I decided to ask. The two guys literally laughed like "why and how would we have that?" And the guy in the glasses turned around and started talking smack and they just kept going and laughing RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME IN CHINESE AS IF I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND. Already thrown off and not feeling comfortable I just decided to order. I got my card out to pay and the guy at the register taking my order scoffed and said you need to order more if you want to use your card; at least $10 min. I was just not feeling it at this point just thrown off at both of the guys' behavior I just left without buying anything. read more

Student discounts lures in the students, which is great for them and us. Pros: -Location - conveniently located near a small intersection with a heavily dense population -Price - bring any type of student ID -Have hot food - fish balls, fish cakes (fish-looking cream filings, it's a sweet food) Cons: -Need to be more clean -Replace the old, wobbly tables -Need more seating but that's impossible due to the small space read more

I gave my 12 year old son bubble tea for the first time on his birthday. First I got him a milk tea with extra bubbles and it was sooo sweat I had to exchange it for a passion fruit tea. I told the man I got extra bubbles and he told the lady in His language to not give me extra bubbles. Instead of arguiing I simply just took the chicken the Lady kept offering me 10 times . 10 minutes later my son is complaining saying his stomach is hurting an he couldn't even finish the drink. I recommend you go across the streett to the bakery and get a perfectly made milk tea!!! 10/10 read more

You can't miss this spot... There's a huge plastic bubble tea statue outside. The review is for their bubble tea only. They do serve some snacky things but we only had the bubble teas. I had the black sesame milk and my boyfriend had the match with red bean and boba. Both of these were delicious though I preferred the back sesame. Even tough they were milk teas, neither tea was very heavy. They were lightly sweetened and had just the right amount of bubbles. What's really cool about the place is that you can get extra bubbles or redbean for free. Our server was extremely friendly and very helpful when it came to picking out what we wanted this place had a ton of flavors so getting expert advice is key! My only complaint is that whole we ordered these cold, my boyfriend's came out lukewarm. read more

Quick service (hence the name) and great bubble tea. I usually order a lychee green tea with jelly. It's divine. Haven't tried any of their snacks yet. The taste and quality is pretty uniform in all Quickly stores so this is also a review for all Quickly places in NYC. read more

I've been going to quickly since I was 9 and it's soooooo good. I love their bubble teas! And there staff are actually very nice.

Worst bubble tea place I've ever been to. Service is sub-par and tea is even worse. Will not be coming back! Ugh. Updated: Came here a second time just to try and see if the service has improved.. It hasn't, this time it was worse. The lady working the counter was the rudest person I have ever met. She made my day very very bad. Maybe she doesn't want to deal with customers. She makes customers not want to come back. I love bubble tea but because of her, I will probably never go back there! read more

I came here on a Monday afternoon around 1pm and it was empty and quiet. No music either so it felt dreadful. We got the classic bubble tea and honeydew green tea with their chicken. Their chicken is about $3.75 now compared to other places, which are around $2. The quality and quantity has also gone down, perhaps because they aren't as popular as they used to be. read more

Quickly - Honeydew, classic, fried chicken - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Elmhurst, New York

The last time I saw such a buzz for bubble tea was in Chinatown's Ten Ren. The line at Quickly was equally as long. They have an extensive menu of all the different types of bubble tea from pudding and yogurt drinks to slushes and traditional milk tea. It's cheap too. Just $2.50 for a 16 oz. The bathrooms were broken and they were out of VIP cards. There are a few tables and the lights are bright orange and flaming even when there is an abundance of natural light flowing in. There was really a crowd at Quickly and a lot of people just spill on to the streets clutching their ice cold refreshing bubble teas. I really enjoyed my peach slush with tapioca. I even felt like I was in Asia. So why only three stars? It's just bubble tea and they forgot to give my friend his bubbles. I offered to go up to the counter to get him some balls and he said it was okay. Actually, he phrased it quite nicely. "Life's beauty is filled with imperfections." I don't know about him but I need the bubble in my tea. read more

I RECOMMEND this place for those are are trying to lose weight: I was craving for sweet Bubble tea at 8:30PM right after dinner. As soon as I got here, there was a line (about 10 people). Guess what, 20 minutes later, i'm still in line (8 people waiting). Walked out the store. See? That's a way to LOSE WEIGHT! Thank you QUICKLY FOR YOUR SLOW SERVICE. I can lose more now! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- WARNING: not responsible if you have a High Stress or BP. (might get worse), Do it at your own risk!. read more

Went inside around 7:50 - 8 PM ish and was told that the store was closed. Checked the hours at the door and it says close at 9PM. Like why?

not as flashy as all the new bubble tea shops, but it reminds me of the good ol' days. Come here for the classic milk tea!

Matcha latte for Sunny saturday. Worth the buck and tasty. Always my fave boba tea since I was child(in Asia). Recommended for those who love boba tea. read more

Tell me how that work... all these nice sounding exotic flavors but nah they only offer taro basic black and green milk tea and chocolate ........ all this lying gave me trust issues..PLUS I ORDERED SOME LIT A** CHIKN. TELL ME WHY they gave it to these 2 lil girls 4 free???? i watched them walk out with my chikn that i paid GOOD money for... gave me a damn heart attack. dont come here unless you enjoy gettin free food/drinks that someone else paid for !! tf. plus their music sucks. cant understand a damn word. read more

Blech, does this place really have this many stars on here? I feel sorry for you New York people thinking that this is good boba. I'm from California, and there's so many boba places out here that it's reached the point of ridiculousness. I didn't know that quality from a chain company like Quickly's could differ so much from coast to coast. This was possibly the worst ever milk tea I've ever had. Ordered just a normal Milk Tea with Boba. Can't really go wrong with that right? Apparently you can. The boba itself was hard and had the texture of rubber. There wasn't any sweet flavor in the boba either. The tea itself was the worst part of it though. I can't even describe it. It tasted bitter to the point where I thought it was expired. I started getting a stomach ache a few minutes after I started drinking though, so who knows, maybe it was expired. I had thought I had found the mecca of all Quickly's because of the big Quickly's cup they have outside. Apparently not. This place could never even begin to touch even the other Quickly's, much less the mom and pop boba places that they have out here on the West. Pass on this. read more

I suggest you get the strawberry slush with lychee. DO NOT get the Thai iced tea. It was too sugary and everything tasted like it was made from powder. read more

Spicy fried chicken bites. Yes please. Make that a double. It's not enough. I want more. Brings me back to the night markets in Taiwan. So good. Honestly their bubble tea is just par for the course. I'm never disappointed by it, but their drinks are clearly pre-made and sitting in a vat in their horizontal fridge. read more

there was a time when a couple of my friends were always going to this place and I would just be waiting outside for them wondering why they liked it so much.. well I tried it twice... that second time was a mistake.. this place seems watered down with disgusting bubbles.. and yet... they still go there.. You have Tenren a block away, why would you choose this over a place that makes real tea.. the price isn't even that different... read more

I love this place compare to other places i've been, it's clean, quick and their fried salt and pepper chicken was delicious. I ordered many different kinds of drinks including passion fruit icy, coffee milk tea, and yogurt drinks and they're all decent except slightly sweeter like the previous yelper mentioned. At least now i know when to ask for "less sugar"! If you have a student Id, you'll get 50 cents off each drink! read more

Had my first experience with bubble tea here recently. It was okay, I actually learned I am not a fan of tapioca. It's a little distracting when I just want to drink my tea. I think if I ever go back I'll stick to the slushes, the milk tea I had was way too sweet for my taste. read more

Quickly, they serve you very quickly. Ok, now that's out of the way, let's move on. Their milk tea drinks are pretty good, though I like stopping by here to enjoy some slush, preferably the Mango or Lychee slush. Their drink selection is pretty wide and varied so be sure to have your order ready when approaching the register. Every cup is machine sealed and this makes it very convenient for a "to-go" order. They have a handful (about 6-8?) of high seatings with (2-3?) tables and a friendly, chill atmosphere great for just hanging out. Student and V.I.P. discounts are always a welcome. Recently, they've added food snacks in their menu. I tried their fried chicken strips thing with paprika, and to be honest they were bland and flavorless. I might have to try it again along with their other items to give a better review. As for now, their drinks still deserve a visit. read more

The prices went up. But I'm not complaining. I used to come here almost every day to get Coffee Slush with Tapioca. Every day I tell you. And only this location too because they made the most perfect coffee slushes. ...But not so much any more. I can taste the powder that they use to make the drink and it is more of a regular cup of liquified slush rather than a cup of icy SLUSH. How upsetting. So I stuck with my Ten Ren a block away. However, when I do decide to go to Quickly, I now just order the simple Black Milk Tea with Tapioca and Pudding which is mediocre. Quickly is slacking!! They're not even "Quick"-ly any more! More like "Slow"-ly! ...Okay let me stop, haha read more

I come to Quicklys a lot! This place always makes me happy most of the time! Two days ago, I came here around a busy time. the bubbles were a little hard, and the Strawberry bubble tea, wasn't mixed properly as Syrup was still sitting down. They were very busy however. Yesterday, however, this place was amazing, as always. The bubbles were soft! Just don't go here around 3pm, because high schoolers jam this place up, and there's only two employees there. They give you extra bubbles for free, which is amazing, and a 0.50 discount when you show them your student ID I also love the Quicklys in Flushing, in front of Macy's. read more

I don't know why I haven't made a review yet for this place. I've been coming here for over 8 years. If you asked me about their bubble tea 3 years ago, I would have redirected you to the Kung Fu tea next the fay da four blocks away. HOWEVER, their bubble tea has IMPROVED SO MUCH. The last time I went to this particular store was 3 months ago. I am Taiwanese, so naturally I am a bubble tea addict. I judge the quality of a bubble tea shop by trying their regular milk bubble tea, and their passion fruit green tea. The green tea is still ehhh but their milk bubble tea is so GOOD now. If you're familiar to how Quickly makes their bubble tea, you would know that they pre make the milk tea and flavor it with a syrup if you want a specific flavor. So if the milk tea improved, you know all the other milk tea flavors will taste awesome. My friends, I drink bubble tea almost everyday. I think I can buy a condo with how much money I've spent at bubble tea shops. If you live in the area like I do, give Quickly's another chance, and try their bubble tea, besides, its way cheaper than Kung Fu. ****You can still get 50 cents off when you show your Student ID****** read more

Service was fast so most likely everything including food is premade. The boba was overcooked and the tea tasted too sweet. However, students do get 50 cent discount for all cold drinks. The popcorn chicken was seasoned where it was spicy enough but not enough to hide the taste of the chicken. It was crispy and not too oily. However, I'm not sure how freshly made it is since they gave my food right away. read more

I love their red bean bubble tea. $2.75 per drink is not bad either. Service is ok. Usually it's an in-and-out thing hence the name. The chairs and tables inside the store are broken or if you actually able to sit down, they are dirty. The workers barely communicate unless asked question. read more

Such poor service. The girl in the front made me a honey aloe, listed under tea. All she did was put less than one scoop of aloe, a little squirt of honey No Ice whatsoever, And filled the rest of the large cup with tap water straight from the sink. Never in my life have I seen such a honey aloe where it's 90% tap water and they charged me 3.75? If i wanted tap water I could drink from my sink thanks. I'd make the effort to walk a few more steps to almost any other bubble tea place in the area, it won't be 3.75$ tap water. read more

To be clear for everyone, the owner of the store is the same owner who owns the coco stores. Anyway, I work nearby and walk pass this place this afternoon. I am in shock this location is still open after all these years and other locations are closed. So I got an order of every snacks expect onion rings and fries, and a large regular bubble tea. I asked little spice on the snacks, but the guy still makes them too spicy. The bubble tea is just as I remembered years ago. read more

This place makes the best bubble tea drinks outside of Taiwan. Their tapioca pearls are warm and soft, making their drinks worthy of five stars. I must negate one star from their overall business simply because they do not accept cash. I receive awesome stuff for using my card. I've tried all of their shakes and my fave is their banana shake with pearls of course. YUMMY! If I go to Taiwan, I will make a fair comparison and update this review. read more

Ugh so upset! I rarely get a bubble tea but I just had dinner at Shell Cove next door and wanted some real bubble tea. Since I never had problem with the Chinatown Quickly, I was sure I would get an excellent after dinner drink. Asked for a sesame milk tea and mango milk tea. Both with bubble. The guy behind the counter produced the two drinks in less than a minute and half. I was alarmed. Never seen anyone make any bubble tea that quick. Took a sip as I walked out of the door. It was as watery as diluted skim milk. Gross! Still can taste crumbs of powder at the bottom. There wasn't even one customer in the store! Why can't he get it right??? Never going back to this spot again! read more

Drove by and saw the giant bubble tea cup outside, and I was instantly excited. It's great because it concentrates on bubble tea and other asian treats like fried mini octopus and fried sesame ball, which i have yet to try. Tried their regular black milk tea and their flavor of the day, which was Thai Iced Tea with boba. definitely a favorite. Besides boba they have all kinds of jellys and a weird vinegar drink which I am too creeped out to try. but that shows you its a no-nonsense place. I will be returning soon. read more

I went there today as I was leaving lunch and wanted to have a drink for the subway. I should have ran when I noticed the place only had 1 person in it, my fault. I go to order, they do not have any bubbles, the guy says how about jelly. I'm like sure, there is nothing else on the way to the subway. Tea itself taken out of the fridge and scooped into the cup and the jelly, which I thought were going to be a lot softer, were more along the line of stale skittles strength. I'll pass next time i'm in the area. *I had about 1/4 of it before I tossed the drink, 3.75$ blah read more
