Being that this place used to be one of the most popular places before Sweet Hut and Kung Fu Tea, I came back after several months mostly for sentimental and nostalgic reasons. Unfortunately, I expected to have them improve in order to compete with the other popular bubble tea /café places, but they did the extreme opposite: Both their service and bubble tea /food has downgraded. The workers there seem to have no care for their customers, making bubble tea with a lack of efficiency and protocol… The cashier snatched the money from our hands as if we were reluctant to give it. We expected to at least have good bubble tea and food, but this was not the case. Overall, disappointed with the store and would easily go to KFT or SH.

I used to come here every weekend years ago. The quality has definitely gone down in recent years. I was craving the Taiwanese nuggets so we dropped by to get some drinks and snacks. The drinks were quickly made. ;) However, they were overly sweet and one of them had a powdery aftertaste. We ordered the peach flower tea, lychee green tea, and yogurt green tea. I didn’t care much for any of them. The Taiwanese nuggets were the only real reason I came so next time I’ll only stick to that.

One of my go to places for the spicy chicken nuggets and fish tofu. Very good and they give you a good portion too. I don’t recommend staying here to hang out; I usually get it to go. I believe they have a credit card minimum too so I would bring cash if you aren’t ordering much. The teas are better than Sweethut but not as good as Kung Fu Tea in my opinion. I would still come here for the snacks. Getting hungry as I type this review actually :(

Dank and dark atmosphere. Service simply sucks. The girl that took our order had the personality of a wet noodle. She could clearly hear us deciding on snack selections before we placed our order, only to tell us that they were out of some items. With so many other bubble tea spots in the area that have great boba tea, beautiful interiors, and frendlier staff, don’t waste your time and money here.

The tea tasted bad and the taiwanese chicken nugget isnt fresh. I would go to sweet hut.

Quickly, one of the better places to go to for bubble teas and snacks. This location is open much later than the one on Buford Hwy. The bubble teas are consistent and the snacks are on point. Definitely try their spicy chicken nuggets, fried tofu, and fried oysters. Their fried fish cakes/balls were a little dry. Also! Try their spicy chicken wings. But be careful, it is super hot, temperature wise, and will burn you quickly.

Me and brother went to Quickly for a late night snack. We especially went for their famous nuggets. They remain open till midnight and they are located at the Kroger Complex, towards the front part. To be honest our experience was quite positive with a few hiccups. Firstly and most importantly, the food was good. The spicy Taiwanese Nuggets(3.50 $) was great tasting. It was spicy and filling since they give you quite a bit for the price. We also took spicy chicken wings(3.50 $ I believe). It was ok tasting and the serving contains about 4 – 5 peices. To put out the spicy flames I tried the Mango slush. It was sweet to the buds and chill to the brains. I recommend the Mango slush alongside the spicy selections. Its Great! On the downside, many might not find the environment appealing, cause its not. Besides, based on my experience they should use an antonym of their title. They should not be Quickly, they should be more like Freaking Slow. It took about 30 mins to serve me the single order of nuggets and wings. Anyways this is an interesting place with some interesting food and drinks. So good people, try it and… Carpe Diem with your taste buds.

I’m a little late on the Quickly train, so I missed the golden years of quickly that I read about, but there were definitely some positives on my first trip. Right off the bat, staff were pretty nice to me. I noticed the $ 10 minimum and was preparing to leave when they told me because it was my first visit, they could run my card without a $ 10 purchase. I feel like that was a one time deal though, so I wouldn’t bank on them doing that often. Very cool though! I settled on the large Coconut milk tea($ 3.75) and the chicken nuggets(I didn’t realize you could get spicy)($ 3.50), which is a good price to me, because the amount of chicken nuggets, and the size of them, were kinda a bargain price. I would’ve ordered the fried sweet potato, but sadly they were out. The chicken nuggets were seasoned well, pretty large in size(at least 3 bites per nugget) and were fresh/hot. The tea was another story. At least for the coconut, they used powder, and mixed it with really hot water. When they mixed it with the ice, and most of the ice melted not 5 minutes later, which was disappointing. The coconut flavor was tasty though Quickly is a much bigger store than I thought, with a lots of table space and a glass enclosed kitchen, where all the staff are, so you can watch them work. I wont lie and say you’ll walk in and think how clean, industrial or «apple store» looking the place is, but it gets the job done. Located in a little restaurant strip in the same foot print as the Kroger off Steve Reynolds blvd and Old Norcross rd, parking is never going to be an issue, and there’s multiple exits out of the lot to both streets. Service was quick, food was good, tea was not nearly cold enough, because of the ice being melted, but customer service was good. Can’t really give it 4 stars, but if i’m in the area, i’ll check them out again.

This place is kind of ghetto. From the nasty old carpeting to the very industrial feeling LED lighting… it’s definitely not my pick for a hangout spot. The décor here is just awful. Though… I don’t remember it always being like this. I would still choose the Buford Hwy location over this location. Quickly still makes the best Taiwanese fried chicken in town. They give you so much for the price, unlike nearby Sweet Hut! Make sure you get it spicy if you like a burn. No BBQ sauce needed for these babies. Also, at this particular location I tried a new drink — barley milk tea with tapioca. The barley tea had actual barley in it and it wasn’t as sweet as I was hoping it would be — which is weird, since most boba places make their drinks extra sweet. The tapioca itself was of decent texture. Service was okay… the girl behind the counter had a little bit of an attitude problem, but I can see why since she was the only person working the kitchen/drinks that evening and it took a while to get my drink and chicken. Buford Highway location for the win.

I am a fan of their spicy wings. I always ask for extra, extra, extra spicy and let me tell you, they hooked it up!!! If you can not handle the spiciness, please try it with caution. Of course when you are eating something this spicy, you got to pair it with some bubble tea. My go to is jasmine milk tea.

This is one of the few places I get my honeydew flavored drinks from. Honeydew slush/smoothie with rainbow jelly. Always. I would give this place 2.5 actually. I’m a big germaphobe when it comes to restaurants(or any place that serves food), and this place is not the cleanest. They don’t have much lighting inside too so it always seems a little dark in there(maybe to conserve electricity? who knows), so I usually just grab my drink and leave. Oh, also remember to stop by the bank and get some cash beforehand because I always end up ordering 2 more unnecessary drinks just to hit the $ 10 mark so I can use my credit card. But then again, I always seem to come back to this place to satisfy my honeydew craving.

This is probably the busiest Quickly in Georgia. Sometimes, the line goes out the door. Their service is pretty fast, and the drinks are consistently delicious. My favorite is the mango slush with mango jelly. The caramel mocha slush with coffee jelly’s great too… if you need an extra boost of sugar and caffeine. Both the spicy fried tofu and chicken are perfect midnight snacks. Oh did I mention they’re open until midnight? If you plan on ordering food, go at least half an hour before closing. If the older lady makes your food, it’s gonna be epic! Downside? The place sometimes has a funny sewer smell, especially near the bathrooms. The interior is very plain and the music can be really loud at times. Do you want to come here for a date, nah. Can you come here dressed in your sweats and get loud with your friends? Absolutely. Good quality boba drinks, fast service(most of the time), and best prices in town!

Open late. The must have menu item is the chicken nuggets! Always hot and with a bit of heat! My favorite drink is the lavender milk tea with milk pudding. Try it the next time, as your alternative to having boba(tapioca). Also with dipping dots on the menu if you want something cold and sweet! A must foodie stop!

Always a good place to go to for some quick bubble tea and Taiwanese street food. I’ll keep this one short and to the point. If you’re looking for a place to chill or just grab a quick snack this place definitely works in that category. It sits probably close to 20 or so people comfortably. I would say however that it does need to be a bit more consistent when it comes to both the food and drinks. Some days it feels like they put way too much ice, some days the nuggets taste a bit sweeter and not that spicy compared to how they usually are, stuff like that bugs me about any place in general. I used to be a big fan of this place, but over the years the quality has gone down a bit. I do have high hopes that they will bounce back because I know they can. My Recommendations: –Taiwanese Chicken Nuggets –Taro Milk Tea w/Grass Jelly

If you want a regular milk tea boba, this is the place to go! Just make sure you bring cash if you’re going to spend under $ 10. When I lived in Japan, I fell in love with milk tea. It’s just something about the taste that I’m addicted to. With Quickly here in the U.S., I can feel some nostalgia about my trip will enjoying a nice, refreshing milk tea with boba(tapioca bubbles). Quickly also has a variety of smoothies and snacks. The mango smoothie is really sweet and has a very smooth blend of ice which is perfect for a hot summer day. The spicy chicken nuggets have an excellent flavor and are served very hot and fresh(just be sure to order a drink too if you’re not immune to the spice… or order the non-spicy ones!). The atmosphere of Quickly is definitely laid back and relaxed. It’s the perfect place to bring your laptop(free WiFi!) and do some work or to take a group of friends for a late evening snack(open until 12am!). Drinks are about $ 3 for a small and $ 4 for a large. You can also get an extra large size, but I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re sharing a drink with a friend. The prices here are very reasonable and it’s a great place to get your Asian snack fix.

As a regular of the Buford Highway location, I stopped by one day because I was in the Duluth area and wanted quality bubble tea. As usual, Quickly did not disappoint. I got my usual: black milk tea with boba and grass jelly in addition to fried tofu. The tofu was delicious, came out hot and fresh as always, though the wait was a bit longer than I’m used to. About the same for the bubble tea — it tasted perfect but wasn’t filled up all the way, as I’ve read from some of the other reviews. Overall, I can see how it’s not as great of a location as the other(which fills up the bubble tea all the way, has a shorter wait time, and seemingly faster service), but still the same food and drink, and with a nice open interior with plenty of space to study or work.

this place is realy dirty. Im not sure why so many poeple go here. There are a lot of pearl tea places opening up around this area. Minimum to use a card is 10 dollars. 10 dollars doesn’t get you anything great here either. They are on the cheaper end of the pearl tea drinks though so if that’s what you’re looking for this is the place. Pay a dollar or two more and you’ll get a better milk tea nearby.

BIGNOTOTHISLOCATION!!! I used to enjoy visiting this location, but now all they hire are jailbait girls that don’t know how to stick to the chain’s recipes and proportions. the drinks here are noticeably inconsistent. sometimes the fruity flavors are strong and then there are times that it’s more of a ‘hint of flavor’. same goes with the milky drinks. especially their«royal milk tea». speaking of inconsistencies, the toppings here are never the same amount. and they’re SUPERSTINGY with the«toppings»!!! oh and they’re always texting or doing some other dumb shhh right while taking your order… ugh another thing I must mention about this quickly location is this is where the fast&furious wannabes meet. therefore, when they’re on site. it’s super loud, crowded, and loaded with cop cars. also, the only upside to this location is the fact that they accept cards if your purchase is $ 10 or more. save yourself some time and frustration and go to the buford hwy location instead. the lady owner is there everyday and she’s the sweetest thing ever. gatta love her since she makes the best drinks :]
