    Ordered their house milk tea (with boba) and added additional toppings. The prices was a bit more appropriate after I realized it already comes with boba by default. The drink did felt a bit watered down though despite ordering no sugar and no ice. Maybe I'm weird like that but I like having a more noticable tea flavor. I like how convenient* the kiosks are for ordering but I'm noticing every boba shops always have this service fee, or some other surcharge, for using the kiosks. Would be nice if that's disclosed upfront... I haven't ordered at the front before but I'd hope no additional fees would be included for that.

    Craving boba and saw this spot that was fairly new with great reviews. Came to give it a try and went with the standard milk tea with boba. The boba was a great texture and the milk tea wasn't too sweet. Interior of the place is very updated and modern, looks better than most boba spots. There is a tablet to order from near the door or you can order at the register. Employees are nice and work quickly! Will definitely come back and try different drinks next time!

    Matcha Blossom

    I was pleasantly surprised by the color of the matcha. They hand whisk the matcha lattes which is nice. The only complaint I have is the matcha to milk ratio, theres little matcha taste. I would maybe suggest offering extra matcha option or different cup sizing so the milk to matcha ratio is good. I enjoyed their strawberry puree and boba a lot. I would come back to try their other tea drinks.

    Lovely boba/tea spot. The 2 behind the counter were very friendly, accommodating and knowledgeable. I went with the create your own tea and he made sure u e joyed the favor before I left the store. He promised to remake it if it wasn't what I had in mind. How sweet!!! The drink was amazing btw. Didn't require any changes! Will definitely be back for another drink soon!!

    My husband and I discovered a great tea spot! My husband and I were driving through the area and decided to randomly stop at a boba shop with an interesting name. I tried their jasmine milk tea with boba, and it was delicious. The drink was not watered down at all; you could really taste the jasmine flavor. I opted for 70% sweetness, which turned out to be the perfect amount for me. The boba was solid--nice and chewy, not old or hard. Overall, I thought this place was really good!

    I happened to walk past this place in passing and decided to give it a try. I ordered from the kiosk, menu was very simple and not too complex (clear and straightforward). I ordered the Passion cooler at 70% sweetness and it was refreshing and perfect. My boyfriend ordered the Pink sparkles and wasn't a big fan (felt it was a little too minty and bubbly) if that's your cup of tea then I'm sure you will like it lol

    Wanted to try a different spot from the usuals around the area (sharetea/teaspoon) and was highly disappointed. Having had boba drinks from an array of different places I wasn't expecting too highly, but as I drank my drinks each so had me questioning what I'm drinking. Got an avocado smoothie with aloe, I felt like I was drinking plain whole milk with added sugar to it. Did not taste any avocado at all whatsoever and was very watery already, not very blended. Also got a mango matcha, again, also not much flavor to that one either.

    Nice new boba spot, got the matcha blossom cuz of the house-made strawberry purée. Service was friendly and prompt. Small spot, not sure if it's much of a sit-down type of spot though there are a few on the wall. Thought it was pretty cool to see the fresh taro!

    Had an ordering mishap through T-Pass and they were super accommodating and understanding. Plus the drinks taste amazing as usual. Best boba in town.

    Creme Brulee Milk Tea
    Christiana S.

    This is based on an Uber Eats pick up order. I ordered the Creme Brulee Milk tea and it was 4/5 for me. I was expecting a creme brûlée crunchy topping but the online description says "thin layer of caramelized sugar" so I can't complain. I forgot to order boba in it ‍ but I would for sure return back and try more!

    I was in the area and wanted to come try this place since I had never before. There was parking right outside and it's located in the back of a strip mall/plaza. I walked in and the cashier greeted me immediately. I saw a photo of green Thai milk tea and was excited to order it. It's something harder to find across all boba shops. I adjusted the ice level to 25% and sugar to 25% as well. The total was $6.75. The order came out pretty fast. The inside is clean but not much in terms of taking photos like backdrops or anything. The Thai green tea was not what I expected. I didn't taste any tea, or the condensed milk. It tasted like water with some slight cream in it. I would not order it again. I was confused when I drank it. It didn't resemble a Thai tea at all!!

    Located in the Lucky's & Big 5 plaza in Pinole, Qualitea truly lives up to its name. I am very picky on boba because I like strong tea forward, not too sweet, and not too milky. Qualitea hits all of this! I got the Golden Oolong and the Strawberry Matcha both at 50% sweetness and it was perfect for me. Pearls were cooked to perfection which is very crucial. Came in 5 mins before closing and even so service was fast and friendly. The inside is very clean but no tables or anything so this isn't a chilling spot just grab your drinks and go. I think out of all the boba in the area popping up in Pinole, this one is the best tea forward quality option.

    Great customer service and most definitely high quality drinks. If you're used to boba drinks from the more popular chains, they you need to raise your standards and order Qualitea whenever possible. All the ingredients are fresh and refreshing. My go-to is the virgin lychee mojito, light ice. Sometimes I add crystal boba or lychee popping boba. Never found this drink anywhere else. The blended drinks are all very good, and they literally scrape the blender and lid to make sure you get every drop in your cup. I love that they try to minimize wasting product. They have a convenient online ordering system if you have the Clover app. If you set up a profile, you can earn points for a free drink. Don't sleep on this small boba shop in the Planet Fitness shopping center. It's definitely the best one in our area!

    Best Thai tea in the area and I don't use my words lightly. Excellent service and big boss will remember your order if you go often enough.

    Amazing, delicious, decadent Dirty Panda Bobo. The cheese and Oreo flavor blend well together with the tea.

    Unusually Busy night of the tree lighting in Pinole! Nice…read moreInviting community vibe, w/families & friends hanging out, playing board & card games @ tables ! Service was as fast as could be expected w/ all the people milling in & ordering. Nice to have so many savory & sweet snacks ( fried chicken, tofu, rice bowls, waffles & pastries, to go w/ the variety of beverages ( tea, slushies, boba) I was unfamiliar w/ this "new"expanded menu: but when I asked questions about various options the counter person was not knowledgeable /unfamiliar w/ the many selections so I was a little frustrated since she was not very helpful ! I ordered the fried tofu ( bite size tasty hot & crispy ) & the musubi tofu ( like spam musubi w/fried tofu & seaweed instead ! So tasty !

    Quickly has been in business in Pinole for awhile now. I been coming here since it open Pr-Pademic…read more Their Flavor Iced Tea is good. I love the Strawberry Tea either in Milk, Green, or Black Tea. I am enjoying the Mochi Ice Cream which is addicting. Before COVID-19 struck I been hanging out here nightly having tea or the mochi. I have not gone to other Quickly in the Bay Area lately (OK maybe I gone to Benicia a few times). This location is the place to be for Pinole Valley High School students to hang out at. What is nice about Quickly is that it is next to Fernandez Park. Keep up the good work Quickly!
