I've never been to Quickly in Calgary (with four locations and counting) but I have been to the one in Edmonton. One bud absolutely loooooooves this place while another is the complete opposite. He's ready to boycott them. That joke that Quickly should be called Slowly? Very, very justifiable. We came to the Chinatown (OG location) after our late night dinner to grab a couple more bites to eat along with some bubble tea. The place was busy but in no way was it packed. Service here, not going to lie, was painful. We ate dinner faster than it took for Quickly to get our order right. Brutal! If you're in a rush/have other plans, don't come here. They only have three Vitamix's to make their drinks. Maybe get more? - Taiwanese popcorn chicken ($8.99) - bud #1 swears by how awesome their Taiwanese popcorn chicken is. I thought they were good - hot, well seasoned and crispy but the rest of the gang said this wasn't up the the norm. - Salt & pepper king oyster mushroom ($8.99) - everyone seemed to enjoy this more than the popcorn chicken. Nice breading and the mushroom's inside were tasty. - Grass jelly milk tea ($4.95 large) - one bud's bubble tea of choice for the night. I'd already had BBT earlier so I didn't bother getting one here. Plus, I wasn't a big fan of the ones we had in Edmonton so... read more

Yes! A great law night dessert spot. We went in as a group of 6 adults after an escape room night out. Steady stream of patrons. A few families too so family friendly. The bubble tea is pretty standard. It comes in a taller cup than normal. Our group went in more for desserts. The Mango Taiwanese Shaved Ice was AMAZING! A must try. Our friend had the Oreo Egg Puff - which was a head turner when it was delivered to the table. The Maltese JusChocolate was just ok. Five stars because the Mango Taiwanese Shaved Ice was one of the best desserts I've ever had. Loved it. read more

You can't sit in their precious seats until you order and pay. Let's get that clear. If you are a first timer like I am, and try to walk in, you'll get yelled at by the lady behind the counter. There's no clear instruction, just yelling. You know, cause if you want to spend your money here you need her to validate you first. Once you DO get your order in, you'll realize that everything you ordered is subpar quality on top of waiting for 30 minutes. Did they have to wait for taro powder to be shipped there in order for them to make your drink? Who knows. No one knows. No one knows why this place is so slow and so horrible. But it seems to be moderately busy regardless. This place is not for me. But if people want to support horrible businesses and keep these kind of places alive, well then that's what this city will keep getting. Horrible businesses. read more

I got the traditional milk tea bubble tea with tapioca. It was interesting that you can choose white versus black tapioca. And regular versus mini size. I just chose the usual black regular sized tapioca. The bubble tea was great except it was too sweet! I think it would be nice if they incorporated Chatime's menu where you can choose the amount of sugar - usually I prefer minimal sugar. We also got the chocolate egg waffle with vanilla ice-cream. It was delicious! There are some cookie bits on top as well. It was great overall but just a bit too sweet as well. read more

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!!! read more

I personally like JusFruit but it doesn't seem as popular as the other bbt places around YYC. This place is good because it offers a variety of bubble teas as well as entrees. Most bubble tea place only have small snack or no food at all; this is the reason I enjoy JusFruit. Their bubble teas and smoothies are not traditional but they still are very tasty! Every time I've been here, it's never crowded and the servers are very friendly! If you are looking for a place to work on your laptop or chat with some friends, I recommend JusFruit. read more

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 1/4 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 1/2 sweetness milktea, I told her 1/4, then she asked n said o yeah this is 1/4 but "1/2" was written on the cup. well... whatever, I did not wanna wait another 20 min.... read more

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. read more

JusFruit Chinatown - Desserts Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

Overpriced and crappy service. Went in and asked the employee whether there was a physical menu as I wanted to sit down and decide with my family on what to order ( our group was large and I didn't want to block other people in the front as there is a limited space in the entrance). She told me no there only menu is on the screen. First off I think that is just plain stupid not to have a physical menu. But okay whatever it's fine we can stand there and block other people if that's what they want. But the way they named their menu is just so disorganized and unhelpful like the JusSpecial and JusCheChe. As if I am suppose to know what that is. For all I know the drink could have been a slush, smoothie or straight tea. Idk Fast forward, no one came to seat us, so we had to seat ourselves. Tables were not very clean with crumbs from previous patrons. As we sat down, I saw a bunch of their menu brochures at the side. ‍ that girl had no idea what she was saying. Ordered a couple drinks, chicken, and bubble waffle. Some drinks were good such as the peachy mango while others were very bad like the coconut taro and the red bean drink (forgot the name). But seriously this place is just overpriced. On average each drink would cost you like $7-8. There are other better tasting and less expensive bubble tea such as bubble mania out here. The chicken was alright but not as crispy as we have had at other places. Okay here's the ridiculous and somewhat funny part. One of my little ones changed her mind and wanted to add pearls to her drink. I went out to tell the girl and pay for it. I told her okay it's $0.50 right. And then she was like " yeah oh wait no it's $.55 because of tax" I didn't want to make a fuss as it's just $0.05 but really you're going to charge me tax for that?!?! But okay paying tax is not the end of the world, but this girl can't even do basic math. How the hell is 5% of $0.50 $.05? read more

The food is NOT worth the horrible service! Service was so slow when the restaurant was not that busy (like 30 minutes just to get the drinks, nevermind food!) and every food item we were brought was meant for another table...it felt like a game swapping dishes with all the tables near us... They're currently transitioning to JusFruit...hopefully the name change will also bring new staff or new protocol for current staff. read more

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. read more

I'm not into bubble tea but I really enjoyed the food here. I ordered the chicken laksa and the braised pork rib on rice. Both were good portions, freshly prepared and great ingredients. The prices were very reasonable. I'd return and ordered the same dishes. The fried chicken looked like it was popular choice with the other customers. read more

Quickly, you've got to get here! I can't believe I haven't yelped about Quickly earlier. This restaurant has Singapore Seafood Laksa. The laksa broth is quite good, a little on the thin side but it's got the right flavours going. If you like coconut broth (not too spicy), this is it for you! I've also tried their Curry Beef on rice and it's soooooo good! Another dish I've tried is the Japanese seafood hot pot comes with rice. Very tasty broth. Their appys are interesting like curry fish ball, satay skewers, fried chicken wings, popcorn chicken (so yummy!). Their desserts and drinks add to another dimension to the restaurant. I've had the iceflake mango dessert, their taufu fah (soya jello - cold, good enough for 2 people and so neat & delicious how they serve it in a metal bowl within a small taufu fah bucket you get at dim sum restaurants), their bubble teas. All good. Quick fix restaurant for all those hunger pangs. read more

JusFruit Chinatown - Egg waffle with icecream - Desserts Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

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. read more

The staff are usually very friendly and they make such good bubble teas here I always have a good experience coming to this location. I love the bucket chicken and japa fries actually very filling and delicious! read more

Great spot and weekly hours! Their specialty is exotic fruity drinks but not really the milk tea :/ I got the piña colada with rainbow jelly and it was great but when we receive an earl grey milk tea it was lacking sweetness and milk. read more

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 1/4 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!!!!! read more

This is a great place for jus if you're downtown. Parking is not very accommodating, but it is fairly reachable by train. The view and location are great, awesome place to hang out at. Don't come here expecting bubble tea, it's closer to a smoothie than anything else. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Terrible customer service. We ordered delivery, the driver was going to take 15 minutes to arrive so we asked that he make our frozen drinks in 10 minutes so they weren't melted and he said no they are already made, I can't help you. Take it up with the driver, I am not going to help you and then he hung up on me. Won't ever return to this location. read more

Let me make this review quick. I'm not sure why it's getting all these positive reviews as it's just a mediocre place. While I have not tried many items on the menu (the menu is pretty comprehensive, admittedly), I must say it's a just a typical HK style cafe. I ordered the seasoned chicken wings and while that was super crispy and flavourful, the rest of the meal was pretty disappointing. First, the taro bubble tea is not even real taro but the fake powdered mess. The seafood laksa noodles did not have the spicy bite you expect from a Malaysian style dish and the soup was bland. We then ordered bubble waffle for dessert and boy was it bad. Not airy, crispy, crunchy at all, but soggy, flat and deflated. I was so excited when i saw that on the menu since it reminds me of the good ol' bubble waffle I've experienced so many times in that food court in Aberdeen Centre in Richmond, BC. If this bubble waffle is anything to go by, the regular waffle is probably likely bad too. All in all, don't set your expectations too high. Nothing is unique on the menu and for all the items they offer, you are probably best to go elsewhere to get better quality, such as Try Again for the bbt, Banana Leaf for the Malaysian noodles, White elephant for the Thai dishes, etc. That being said, it is convenient as they have multiple locations and the wings were tasty. read more

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. read more

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 ;-) read more

Didnt like it at all. I had high hopes for this place but went there in disappointment!

HORRIBLE Service! Service was so slow when there were only 2 people waiting. My order (Green tea bingsu) was brought over to someone else who ordered Mango bingsu. The staff didn't even apologize for their delay and mistakes. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. The service is incredibly poor and none of the employees gave regard to the customers. They were eating while trying to serve us and showed no care for proper customer service. To make matters worse, we had to wait for food that no one was even working on because the short-haired cashier didn't even communicate the order to the kitchen. The drinks on the other hand tasted like water and milk mixed together, which, clearly is not what we wanted. No standards. read more

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! read more

Has a lot more unique ingredients and combinations compared to the myriad of other bubble tea places in chinatown (I believe that they use fresh fruits for their smoothies, or at least it tastes more real than the other places that have an obvious powder taste). Food choices are limited but satisfactory, and they have lunch/supper specials. Can seem quiet and deserted as it is in a relatively out-of-the-way area and the entrance is tricky to find, but seating's comfortable and the place is very clean (Based on the music and Instagram-style decorating of the drinks, it would cater more to the younger crowd). Opening times can be unusual though (11:30AM sometimes, 3:00PM others). The service is fine, if slow due to the small number of workers there; this is just a theory, but they might also be affected by tips (which is understandable, if somewhat eyebrow-raising) since there is a noticeable difference in the showiness of my drinks for a tipped and non-tipped order (though I have yet to test whether the amount of a tip also makes a difference). read more
