We went to Quickly at about 9pm. One person worked there, no lines, no issue on the wait or getting the drink in a timely manner. When trying out a new milk tea place, one must order the classic milk tea, with or without boba (I know that's a biggie for some but whatever). Their classic milk tea is such a fail. It's far too sweet. There's far too much milk and not enough tea, including insufficient tea flavor. See the photo and you can see how pale it is. I'm surprised that this is a chain. How do they even survive? Good thing there are tons of other milk tea places in the area. read more

At this Quickly location, everything is sort of a hit or miss but this may be expected given that the variety of both drinks and snacks here is very enormous. As the cost of boba has been rising over the years, so does the cost of Quickly's. However, I have not felt that the quality has increased to match as well so drinks at other places at the same price just seem to be better. At the same time, the drinks at Quickly do have a very nostalgic feel where their drinks have a ton of flavor to them as opposed to the subtle notes of the teas at many other boba places. I wouldn't come to the Quickly here for a high quality drink, but rather for the fun casualness of it and the large variety of drinks to choose from. The thing I notice many people ordering here though is their fried snacks. A lot of people order their popcorn chicken which is not bad at all. It comes out piping hot and is just perfect as a snack. As with the drinks, the snacks can also be a hit or miss. For example, on one occasion their fried tofu was crispy and nice while on another occasion it was soggy and stuck in clumps. read more

Quickly - Milk tea with boba - Bubble Tea Near Me - South San Francisco, California

This place has ok to terrible service, but the tea is strong enough, and the toppings are good. The hot food is ok, it's quick and good finger food that goes with milk tea. Better than one of the places in Pacifica, but the other place in Pacifica has better milk tea than here. read more

The service here can be a bit slow. They open at noon supposedly but the person working would leave the door closed and not open it until she is ready which can be a bit after. We had the fruit tea and it wasn't that good. It was mostly good tea, mixed with a ton of artificial fruit tasting syrup, with a bunch of fruit inside. It was too sweet and the flavor of the syrup wasn't all that pleasant or great, the artificial aspect of it was a bit too strong. read more

To say it's a disappointment is an understatement. Quickly is one of the original boba places and what sets them apart is the fact it has wide selection of freshly fried snacks that are not offered in other places. Anyways this particular Quickly even have NY style fried chicken and being a sucker for fried chicken of course I have to try it. It's SO bad because the spice (hopefully not the chicken) tastes sour that I had to toss all 6 pieces away. The fried baby octopus is over breaded and not fresh (too fishy) and that was a stable food that I normally ordered in other Quickly so I can verify this particular one is not fresh. The popcorn chicken and curly fries are better but not anything to write home about. Overall this particular store only deserves 2 stars. read more

Best Service!!! I was unprepared when I arrived, looked at the menu and couldn't make up my mind. Sally was so patient, gave great suggestions, and quickly (quite appropriate) served our drinks. We also received a treat while we were there. read more

Been coming here consistently for the past 6+ months. So much so that the bobarista has learned the various drinks I've ordered. Super nice and is one of the main reasons I keep coming back besides the drinks being good! read more

Service here is horrible. They are slow and they don't actually open at noon as advertised. I'm not sure if it's the owner, but the person inside is just sitting there on his phone with the doors locked and way past the noon opening time. Opening time seems more closer to 1pm. read more

The food here is amazing, we got a taro mochi waffle, which was chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside like you would expect from something made with rice flour. This Mochi waffle was especially delicious though because it was a lot heartier and was almost like a mochi Belgian waffle. It tasted like chewy vanilla cake and smelled like sweet batter too. The popcorn chicken was also outstanding. It is very juicy and tender, with each individual popcorn chicken coated in it's only crispy and tasty batter skin. The chicken was so tender that the skewer easily goes right through when you bite it. The reason why I am giving 3 stars is because we ordered taro jasmine boba and lychee tea with agar boba. The drinks were very good, but they got our orders wrong. The taro jasmine boba did not come with boba at all. They gave me boba in the lychee tea but not the correct kind. I was supposed to get agar boba which I am pretty sure costs extra. It was not busy in the establishment at all so I would expect better service. The vast variety of boba teas that they have at Quickly and the amazing food will definitely have us coming back again, but maybe to a different Quickly location as the service at the South San Francisco location was not great. read more

I'm not sure why this Quickly is rated so poorly especially when this is the best one in the area. I've been here multiple times and they're obviously a little understaffed but the quality is great. For snacks, I've ordered the tofu and the corn nuggets. The tofu you can season yourself to however you like with the seasonings by the straws. Additionally they provide a teriyaki like sauce which is great. The corn nuggets are something I haven't had in a long time! They're balls of corn in a creamy sauce and fried. Super good. For drinks I've tried different things like green milk tea, banana milk tea, and other drinks. The quality has been consistently good and you can taste not only the tea base but also the mixes they have. Their boba is also really soft. All in all, everything is affordable, good quality, and yummy. Sometimes it might be a little bit of a wait but it's because they're understaffed. read more

I usually don't have high expectations for Quickly's as the service is usually subpar. However, the girl that was working the evening I came in was great. She was super helpful, nice and genuine. It was a breath of fresh air. I had ordered 6 drinks and forgot to add in another order. Typically, you would get an annoyed response, but she was very pleasant. She also gave me recommendation of a drink as I couldn't decide what to get. I give her props for holding the place down as it seems she was maybe the only one in the front at the time and it got a little busier after making 7 drinks by herself. read more

Please label the drinks. I was unable to distinguish between the almond and jasmine milk teas that I had ordered.

Quickly is definitely on the lowest tier when it comes to boba chains so you can't really have high expectations when going to one. The staff at this Quickly location are relatively nice and typically I get their Almond milk tea which is my favorite. Recently I got the Tiger milk tea which is like a mixture of their classic with Thai milk tea. It's pretty solid. Their tapioca is pretty flavorless so moving forward I'd probably exclude it. Their popcorn chicken is always their biggest standout food items and is always a solid choice, but I personally avoid any other items. read more

Quickly - Tiger Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - South San Francisco, California

Never opened until when they say they are. Multiple times I come before the closing time and they tell me they're closed or they turn off the lights. What's the point of saying you're open until 9 if you're not going to stay open until then. No wonder this place has two stars read more

Had a nice dinner in the area and thought it would be a great idea to grab quickly and head home. **They are open till 9pm we walked in at 8:48pm and were told they were closed by a random dude waiting near the door and then when we asked if they were open to the lady behind the counter she said we are closed. What is the point of saying you are open till 9pm if you are going to close before that! Horrible customer service and business practices. I will never support this location and I advise you to not support either. read more

Just want to say thank you! Wish I got the lady's name who works there. I always order the green tea mochi waffle and twice I have, she gave me a sample new drinks. So sweet, friendly! Little business like this one, everyone should support! Thank you thank you!! read more

This review is for the black milk tea and curly fries. I went around 12:20, 20 mins after opening. There were 3 other people waiting for their orders. The person got my order and gave me the drink 2 mins later. I waited about 5 mins for the curly fries. I usually come here for the black or green milk tea and it always tastes the same. This place is not bad if you want a basic and inexpensive milk tea quick ($4 with no toppings vs $5 no toppings across the street). read more

First off this drink is awful. I should have never deviated from my Original Milk Tea with Boba selection. Second, the girl at the counter NASTILY told me they do not permit dine in. You need to get rid of all your chairs and tables to give that impression Girlfriend and since when did a tiny sign taped on the table count as disclosure. Work on your customer service skills first and then your barista skills Homegirl. I have been coming to this Quickly probably longer than you've worked here. Never coming back here again. Way to go on turning off a loyal customer. I will make sure to let each and every person know not to patronize your establishment ! read more

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!!!! My son asked me to take him to Quickly. We don't usually come to this location but today, we did. We ordered for Lychee Milk tea, Lychee Rose Tea, Takoyaki, and Popcorn Chicken. When we got our order, drinks weren't cold, there was no boba, Takoyaki was 8 pcs only when it supposed to be 9 pcs! I went to the counter and asked nicely how come there was no boba in our drinks. And this is when the trouble started. The chinese guy rudely said, "You didn't ask for it!" At my dismay, I told him, "You're supposed to ask customers what kind of toppings we want." Because that's what most customers go for, the BOBA!!!! And he answered rudely again, "I never ask customers! NEVER!" So, we argued, and I asked "Are you new?" He said, "No, I'm not new. Because I'm the owner!" I wanted to laugh at this guy but, I just said "You're the owner and you don't even know how to give a good customer service. And your takoyaki is supposed to be 9 pcs not 8!" But, this guy really insisted that it's supposed to be only 8. After all the arguement and stress, not to mention people are waiting in the line, I just asked for my money back right away and I never touched the food. He even forgot to give my money back for the popcorn chicken if I didn't ask for it! If I could give ZERO, I would!!! No wonder no one wants to work for this guy. Never ever coming back here!!!! read more

They close kitchen at 830 they might as well just close the store, and put a sign outside. Bad service. Never coming here. The owner at serramonte mall is way nicer, better services. read more

The slushes and snacks here aren't bad but all their milk tea is basically watered down. I don't recommend getting drinks here. :(

Ordered online for pickup at Westborough location, and my order was just melting away on the counter. 3 slushies not even put in a refrigerator for customers that order online. The employee working there was on her phone sitting behind the register. Never going to order online at this location. The San Bruno location is professional and keep their online orders in the fridge until picked up. So Westborough location is good coming in person to order but online,, the employee don't give a S**T!!!! read more

Holy coooooow, this place is really, really slow. Quickly's in general are slow, but I feel like this location brings a whole new meaning to it. I got here around 4pm on a Monday and all the tables were taken, there was a line to the door, and only one girl was manning the register as well as making the drinks. There was also one older lady in the back but all she does is make the food so ordering took a while. The girl looked like the life got sucked out of her as she goes, "Next person." Like, holy cow. They must be severely understaffed. I actually feel sorry for the person working and debated leaving just to make it a bit easier on her, but my milk tea cravings was too strong. I ended up getting a tiger milk tea with boba and their fried calamari rings. Skip both. Tea was not very flavorful and boba was mushy instead of the nice chewy consistency. And calamari rings? For $4.50 I do expect a better portion as well as actually fried calamari rings. What I got was SUPER lightly breaded rings that got fried for maybe 10 seconds and then given to me with some mayo sauce. If I ever get food here I would probably stick to the popcorn chicken. But let's see how my patience goes next time first. read more

Why post you are open until 9 and then close at 8:58 and cancel my order I placed at 8:45. Refunds take 3-5 business days to go back to your account. :( This is unprofessional. If you want to close early, CHANGE YOUR HOURS OF OPERATIONS!!! read more

I picked up six drinks for my family today since I was doing a food/grocery run. My cousin finished his drink and realized there was A COIN at the bottom of his drink!!! He was the only one of us who got Boba. This is absolutely disgusting. I really hate writing bad reviews, but money is really dirty and of all things to end up inside a drink, this is unbelievable! Especially with the shelter in place, shouldn't food workers/establishments be especially careful at this time? I'm horrified! read more

Minus one star only because they only have taro slush or taro milk tea ... but no taro snow & kitchen closes 1 hour before closing :( Whatever I'll still come back because y'all have my heart with that damn taro mochi waffle :) like seriously I can't get enough of it. It's hot fresh chewy deliciousness. It's crispy on the outside and chewy mochi goodness on the inside. Also love the Taro Jasmine Milk Teaa! Two of my faves, I've actually been getting this combo forever. You can also tell them heavier on the Taro or jasmine but I like it 50/50. The boba here is good nice and chewy but doesn't seem as sweet as other places I been which is also kind of nice because some places make it waaaay too sweet. read more

This Quicklys has absolutely zero customer service and a rude female owner. I've been to a handful of other Quickly franchises throughout the Bay Area and this is the worst one. She does not greet you when you say hello to her, she does attempt to accommodate drink flavors or combinations as other Quicklys, and most importantly she does not say THANK YOU. She constantly has a stank oily face and is flat out rude. Do not give this franchise your money they don't deserve it! I promise. read more

Service sucked. Walked in, cashier watching something on this phone. Clearly stood in front waiting for him to look up. As I was ordering, he grabs his phone again and continues watching/listening to whatever. Walked out. Kitchen closed at 8:30 and ran out of Boba. Pretty horrible. read more

Got a jasmine milk green tea that tasted off. Tried to get a replacement but I was given very bad attitude like I was at fault. She made me another drink. But with that attitude, I left both drinks there and left. Thanks but no thanks. Aviod!! read more

This is literally my go-to spot for boba because I've become so accustomed to the taste after 14 years of drinking Quickly lol The lady here always puts in my order right when I get there and is super accommodating and nice despite how people are treating her during this pandemic. I have seen people say such rude things to her while she's taking their orders or yell at her if their order takes too long or if something is out of stock. Bruh, you're lucky to even have the privilege of drinking boba right now, so get some manners and be more appreciative of the people serving you. Anyways, the tea isn't super high quality or anything, but it's a great place for a quick-fix! read more

I normally come here since I personally feel it is the best quicklys in the area. But today's quick visit was unpleasant nonetheless. I understand during the covid-19 situation, essential workers can be overwhelmed and times are tough. But there are some instances where being rude for no reason isn't acceptable. The Asian lady at the counter "welcomed" me by saying in a monotone voice "um were not open" and just rolled her eyes. Well excuse the hell out of me lady. At least a "Oh I'm sorry we're not open yet. Can you come back at so & so time?" Or even just a nicer tone. I will still come back but I normally let things go the first time. Second I won't be so forgiving. SMFH ‍ read more

Arrived at this place tonight at 8:45pm. The window states closing store hour is 9:00pm. The door is open and I walk in. The woman says, "We are closed". I said, "it's only 8:45pm". She fires back, "Last order is at 8:30pm!" Well where does it say that? The store hours on the door state something else. Your door is open, and you tell me last call orders are at 8:30pm? Even here on Yelp your hours state you close at 9:00pm. If you were more polite to your customers, and stated the correct information, then I would respect you more. But I do not now. It is no wonder you have terrible Yelp reviews. TERRIBLE! read more

Came in here to grab a snack. I like Quickly and the food and drink isn't a problem. A customer came in carrying a dog and put it down on one of the tables, then it began licking the tables. The girl behind the counter watched it and said nothing. Freaking nasty! Came in here again to get a drink and a snack. Out of cups, out of jelly, out of calamari. Who runs this f**king place? What a dump. read more

Came this Monday at noon to terrible customer service. My coworker and I tried to order an avocado smoothie, and the lady said they were out. Then asked if we could get two milk teas with boba instead, and they were out of boba (at noon?!). Finally, my coworker asked if they have their magonada like the picture they put up and the lady said it's nothing like the picture and won't come like that. I can understand running out of boba from time to time, but the lady just seemed so disinterested in taking any of our business. Maybe they were having an off day, but based on previous reviews they seem to be pretty consistent at bad service here. I wouldn't mind taking my business to Bambu or elsewhere and pay $2-3 more for drinks/service. read more

I thought I'd give this place a second chance but it's still disappointing. I ordered a super almond milk tea with boba and an oreo mochi waffle. The drink DID NOT taste good and had a very distinct taste to it. The mochi waffle was burnt and dry, which isn't what a mochi waffle is, to the point where I couldn't even eat it. I wasted $12.50 for the two and ended up throwing away the food because it was just hard to eat. read more

Went to this location and bought popcorn chicken. Saw the person dropped a piece of chicken on the floor and he picked it up and put it back in my order! Horrible! read more

We were looking for a spot with wifi, seating, drinks, and snacks --Quickly checked all of that. We ordered Popcorn Chicken ($4.50) and Calamari ($4.50) to munch on as I got a Jasmine Green Tea ($1.99). There's a fair amount of seating and people are usually in and out of this place. The drinks and food came out pretty quickly. The only thing was that someone else accidently grabbed our popcorn chicken and took a piece, but they brought it back to the kitchen. I liked the popcorn chicken, but the calamari was very minimal amount. I have to say that this place got the job done as we spent a couple hours here to get work done. The wifi was simple and easy to login on a laptop, but struggled to stay connected on a mobile device though. read more

I LOVE this Quickly!! I've been coming here ever since this location opened in Westborough Square. I used to come here MULTIPLE times a week in high school (this was years ago) and I've been coming here regularly ever since! I've never had a bad experience here and I'm so shocked at all the bad reviews. There is one worker who is nearly always here whenever I come in and she is the sweetest!!!! There is also another new worker and she is so sweet also. I usually order Regular Milk Tea or Jasmine Green Milk Tea with boba and it always tastes so good. The Peach Green Tea is also pretty good. I will keep coming here (: read more

I came at 12:00pm. Door was closed and lights were off. Sign said open at 12:00pm. Lady employee came up behind me and unlocked the doors. I asked her if they were open. She shook her head, shut and locked the door, and shooed me away like a fly. Two other guys were waiting, too. I just left to Pit Stop Boba nearby because of her rudeness, poor customer service, unprofessionalism, and lack of punctuality. BYE! read more
