Quickly Bubble Tea

So I’m used to quickly in Berkeley — where the a bubble tea on a daily special is $ 1.25 USD. Guess I don’t get that here.
But what you do get is a fast made drink that tastes pretty good. The pearls are nice and chewy. I got an oolong milk tea which was nice and strong and just sweet enough. Can’t say much else about the other flavors, but the matcha was a bit watery according to the wife.
Note: the parking lot here is pretty tight to drive into and out of.

Not great service and frankly the lady who served us was quite rude. The bubble tea is pretty good but I can get better service elsewhere.

I spent 20 min waiting for one milk tea at quickly!!! 20 min!!! omg!!!
I like the drinks there, the food is okay too. But seriously, it always takes forever to have my orders! And today I ordered ¼ sweetness hot milktea and I was a second take order order, the first take out order was just two drinks. I waited for 20 mins (my hubby waited for me at our car, but he thought something happened, y took so long n came in to check) then the cashier handed me a ½ sweetness milktea, I told her ¼, then she asked n said o yeah this is ¼ but «½» was written on the cup. well… whatever, I did not wanna wait another 20 min…

I don’t think this restaurant is named appropriately. The boyfriend and I have an ongoing joke of how it should really be named «Slowly».
This is one of the many bubble tea locations in China Town. It is right at the end of the bridge and tucked inside the back corner of the building. The location is bright and welcoming, and my experiences here are all based on take out. I love the choice of size, and their integration with social media in providing discounts. I love the atmosphere of the restaurant. I love the set up even. But my love stops there.
Of the 8 times I’ve gotten take out here there has always been something wrong. Often times, I seem to order items that are not available yet, or have just «sold out». My go to drink has always been «wheat germ milk tea». Their translation of it into English has the word embryo is it (which made me lol). The drink has come out chunky and over sweetened both times I’ve gotten it. I’ve tried their other selections of tea based and milk drinks as well… still can’t find one that’s good.
The wait time for items for takeout is ridiculous. Even when it’s not busy, it will take them a minimum of 20 to 30 minutes to make up one drink. During your wait time, you get to sit in front of their counter, and stare at the workers as they attempt to make your drink at turtle speed.
I had so much hope for this place when it first opened. I’m not going to be visiting again anytime soon, but when I do I hope it is not a disappointment.

My go-​to place whenever I want something sweet and refreshing!
Yes they do bubble tea. A heck of a lot of variations on bubble tea too. But my favourite part about Quickly is that it sells AWESOME desserts! If you’re down with coconut milk, I highly recommend you go and try the Mango Coconut Sago. SO tasty and refreshing!
They also sell food (popcorn chicken, chicken skewers, etc), but I’ve never actually tried any of it. To me, Quickly is a casual dessert/​bubble tea place.
It is a busy busy place, but I’ve never had to wait more than 5 minutes to be seated.

Just went here for a take out taro bubble tea smoothie with pearls. Very very good bubble tea! Didn’t try the snacks though.
Seemed very busy.
4 stars.

The food and Bubble tea is okay but the service is terrible. They should change the name to Slowly in order to meet expectations. I did hear they have some good food items as well as Taro bubble tea but don’t go if you want to be in and out quickly!

Haven’t tried the food yet, but the bubble tea is amazing, and TONS of variety!
I’m lactose intolerant, and their powders are made with soy, and although lots of the teas come with cow’s milk, they will make you pretty much any bubble tea with no dairy…
Most of the other bubble tea places, I’m stuck with 3 or 4 flavours that I can have without dairy. Not Quickly — they have all kinds of variety!
Not overly sweet, more interesting ‘traditional asian flavour’ to the bubble teas.
It’s my new downtown bubble tea haunt!
;-)
4 stars instead of 5 cause they are kinda slow… and the blenders are super noisy in that small space…
Otherwise taste and service are awesome ;-)

Don’t expect service as «Quickly» as the name!
Overall an average place to get bubble tea but what I saw will make me never come back. Although not too big of a deal, I watched one of the ladies making a drink screw up an order and place pearls in a drink that was supposed to have jelly. In order to fix this situation, the lady scooped out the bubble tea that had been blended and then pour the pearls into a strainer so that they could be washed off for use again. Why wouldn’t she just throw it out? Also it took a very long time for me to receive my order (which she didn’t mess up or use the strained pearls for).
Overall, not the best location for bubble tea especially in this area.

Me and my friend were very excited to try out their menu. My friend ordered braised pork on the rice which she thought flavourless. When I got my chicken bento, I was super disappointed… it looks so cheap! I gave it 2 stars is because my friend says the bubble tea is ok and the shop actually looks clean and nice!

Definitely not serving food «Quickly, «and DO NOT ORDER A BENTO!
I wanted to give it 1 star but the bubble tea and fried food was actually pretty good.
Being a former southern Californian who hung out late-​night at Quickly a lot, I was super excited when we finally get one in Calgary. Had an afternoon free to have some quiet lunch by myself, so I went.
It was 3pm on Sunday. Sat down, ordered my milk tea & chicken thigh bento.
There were a total of 7 seated guests and 1 lady waiting for to-​go.
15 minutes later the waitress came back to ask me what drink I ordered. (I really should’ve just walked out then)
Another 5 minutes before I got my drink.
The drink is decent. But here’s what really ticked me off: the «bento.» I chose to have fries instead of rice.
This plate consisted of:
— 1 small handful of fries, about ¹⁄₃ the size of Costco’s serving.
— 1 fried chicken leg
— About ¼ cup of corn kernels, probably was canned or frozen…
— And 2 slices of the yellow Japanese pickled radish.
2 fried items + 2 ready-​to-​heat items took 30 minutes to serve.
The only time I’ve had something similar was at Tea Time in Panorama, where they served a similar plate with corn and green beans, apparently microwaved.
Please, PLEASE bubble tea places, I love my Taiwanese bento food. Stop disgracing it with canned or frozen vegetables!!!

Ate an early dinner at Quickly ‘cos we saw in the Chinese newspaper that there was Singapore Laksa Noodle Soup here! We ordered the Laksa, the Taiwanese Braised Pork on Rice, the Taiwanese Popcorn Chicken (we chose Garlic), satay (costs $ 1/​stick between 3 p. m to 6 p.m.) All the food was really, really, good. The Laksa had the same flavour like back home; the laksa broth coconutty and not too spicy. The Braised Pork was really good as well as it tastes like what my grandmother used to cook at home (we call it «tau yu bak») Satay was Ok — we ordered the pork, beef, squid and chicken hearts. Popcorn chicken was quite tasty but needs more garlic.
We had the Laksa combo — came with the regular size bubble tea for an extra $ 1. What a deal! We ordered the Milky Lavender Tea with Grass Jelly, the Papaya Tea with Lychee Popping Bubbles, and the Coconut Tea with Green Apple Jelly. Also, ordered a fresh watermelon juice for $ 4.95 each. All the bubble tea drinks were delicious as was the watermelon juice.
Why not 5 stars? Customer service was a little slow at times. Had to practically flag down the guy as they were so busy talking in their «kitchen».
Sure, I’d come back again ‘cos I love Laksa! It’s just missing my sambal sauce. But it’s all good.

There is always room for bubble tea! Especially those super sugary slush ones… I try not to think of all the sugar and carbs I’m consuming and just enjoy… now, with that said I wandered over to Quickly the other day to get my fix and it was good!
The interior is clean and modern and you are greeted the moment your foot hits the other side of the door. There are many choices of flavours and pearls/​jelly too. What brought me into this location was the rumour of popping pearls… to my excitement it was true! They stocked two different flavours (YAY!)
I ordered the Mango smoothie with the lychee popping pearls. The service was polite and friendly but it sure does take a while to get your drink so just be careful about that if you expect to be in and out «quickly».
Also, It would be nice to know if the smoothies were dairy free, many other places have «slush» and then «smoothie» and indicate which drinks are made with milk, they do not have this option at Quickly.

Bubble tea shops are opening and closing all the time here in Calgary. Quickly is a bubble tea chain from Taiwan and and I must say WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!!! Quickly has taken over the old K-​Cup bubble tea shop that use to be there. Decided to give this place a shot since it just opened and wow the milk tea is pretty amazing. Very comparable to some of the milk teas I’ve had in Taiwan. Very smooth and not overwhelmingly sweet.
I didn’t have a chance to try any of the food here but that will be a must next time around. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone and hope it stays around compared to its previous owners!!!

Greatest taro ever! The bubble tea selection is fantastic and offers a lot of flavours I have not tried before like Longan Honey Milk Tea. The food is also amazing. Curry fish ball is so spicy and addictive. Chicken wings are also well done too even with wasabi flavour to choose from. I had the traditional and the flavour was satisfying too.
