Oreo Milk Tea with coffee jelly
Zanita W.

This place is kinda awesome. It replaced the old bubble island that used to be here pre-covid but it is a great revamp of the same thing! I am reviewing this after my second visit, my first visit was a little chaotic due to them forgetting part of my order (check your bags guys) but they gave me a free mochi waffle with the flavor of my choice to make up for it, so it solved the problem. Although they forgot part of my order, the service is streamlined, fast, and very accurate. They use an app called snack pass which is actually iconic because not only does it give you all the deals for various restaurants but they have a countdown timer for your order and it will actually be ready. All of the snacks I've tried so far have been a hit and I've probably only got half of the menu: Korean hot dog, curly fries, waffle fries, pork & chicken gyoza, egg bubble waffle, oreo mochi waffle, and popcorn chicken! You can tell the food isn't made in a microwave and makes for tasty snacks. The bubbly tea is great as always and I will definitely visit in the future.

Place: This place used to be called bubble island but it changed Quickly! Whoa I was excited about the menu! Service: The service was good! They take your order and call your number after. Food/price: They have this mochi waffles and different types of boba. I got the grapefruit boba and it was really good! The price is your typical boba price around $5. They also have popcorn chicken which were good! Audience: Great for friends! Recommend/tips? I recommend this place and plan to go back again!

My experience here was such a bummer which is sad because I was so excited to try it and the bubble teas are AWESOME. But the rest just didn't hit the mark. I placed an order for pick up via Snackpass--I had gotten two bubble teas, a chocolate mochi waffle, and an coconut egg waffle. As I was driving there I got a notification that my order would be delayed by an additional 10 minutes. No big. I'd just hang out in my car until then. I parked out front and waited until It came time so I stepped in but I didn't see my order anywhere. So I waited. And I waited. And I saw them attending to other walk in guests and folks there after me were leaving. And my order was still nowhere to be found. I saw my chocolate waffle sitting lonely on the rack but nothing else. I finally asked them and they had to look around for my order slip. I totally got lost in the shuffle. Ok, again. No big deal. It happens and we're in the middle of a pandemic so I do my best to be understanding. I just continued to wait. I had another order of takeout dinner in my car that I was beginning to worry about (I was treating my husband and I to a nice meal and dessert after a particularly rough week) but other than that I was fine with waiting. Finally, 20 minutes after I walked in and nearly 50 minutes after placing my order I walked out with my drinks and desserts. Unfortunately, when I got home and unpacked, I found a completely mangled egg waffle and a chocolate waffle that was missing a full quarter of it. The good news is that it tasted awesome. The sad news is that after all the frustration of waiting I unpacked it to find some sorry looking treats. I just felt like someone burst my balloon and I had paid for that balloon and waited for it. Any one of those things alone I would have just shrugged but everything together just equaled a pretty disappointing experience. The teas were delicious and, as I mentioned, the desserts did taste good. I just think they need to do a little better paying attention to the details.

Quickly is one of the OGs in the boba game. I was drinking Quickly as a kid almost 3 decades ago now, but I quickly moved on (no pun intended) when other tea shops/brands offered more premium offerings in California. But I'm now an adult/self-proclaimed seasoned boba drinker (what's the boba MT version of a sommelier? a bobalier? haha) & I'm now in Michigan (obviously). I've seen Quickly outposts in other parts of MI (i.e. Troy), but they've officially jumped into the saturated A2 market as of this week; the grand opening was 1/13. They're having grand opening special all week (1/13 - 1/27). but what also drew me in was their mochi waffles as posted on IG. The power of social media y'all. I found that offering a bit more unique and i'm here for it. I went for a non-milk tea because I was getting a mochi waffle. What's the logic? None, ha. But I did order a milk tea for my partner so I was able to sample his. I thought it was fine - the boba left a little bit to be desired though! I was stoked to see they have Aloe Vera as a topping here! Not every boba spot in A2 does. As for the mochi waffle, I want to come back for this ALL DAY EVERYDAY. What is a mochi waffle? Basically like a waffle you make at home BUT they add mochi in it for fantastic texture. They have various flavors available but I just ordered original.

Am I in high school again? Going to Quickly in 2021 is such a nostalgia MOMENT! Only the real ones know how iconic this chain was for California teens in the early-mid 2000s. They were all over the Bay Area and we'd always go after school for their popcorn chicken and drinks. So color me shocked when I saw that a Quickly had set up shop in Bubble Island's location (RIP Bubble Island - I may not miss your basically all syrup drinks but you truly crawled so that these amazing Ann Arbor boba shops could fly and flourish. A true pioneer for boba in these, up until recently, uncharted waters). Anyway, so of course I had to check it out if just for nostalgia's sake! I opted for a jasmine milk tea with 30 percent sugar and it was everything I hoped it would be: a nice but not overpowering sweetness, jasmine flavor shining through, great creaminess and of course perfectly done boba! There are tons of options for toppings but I like to keep it simple. Unfortunately, we decided to get Quickly after already ordering dinner so as much as I wanted to I couldn't partake in the popcorn chicken or delicious mochi waffles. So I will definitely be back! Service was great and it was pretty convenient walking in and ordering on the kiosk. It was a bit busy so be mindful of that for social distancing. Glad to welcome this OG fave to Ann Arbor!

Taro Egg Puff

Decided to give this chain a try. In my opinion, there are better boba places in Ann Arbor. Drink was decent, I got the honey dew tea with green tea and it had good honey dew flavor to it. The food is why 3/5 stars. The "Taiwanese" popcorn chicken tasted like your average chicken nugget and the taro egg puff (bubble waffle) didn't have any noticeable taro flavor and it was very floppy and did not hold shape. It was quite dense and overall very chewy. Not sure if they used mochi mix to make it or if that's just how they make their bubble waffles, but I prefer the traditional crisp on the outside and fluffy, hollow inside.

We are Quickly fans for their big buckets of tea, we go to several different locations to get their food and drinks. This was our first time at this location. We were day tripping around the Ann Arbor area and wanted to get the kids a drink before we headed to a tasting room for the adults. They had their typical huge menu which included a lot of food. Several items were sold out like the green apple slush, but that's okay. They people working here were nice and helpful as always. What I did not like was the awkward space, it was like the corner of an office building, and the lack of bathrooms. Since we had been walking around we wanted to wash our hands before handling the drinks (we used the sanitizer). But also, if you get food and drinks here and need the restroom, it's odd for a restaurant not to offer the customers a bathroom. They said the closest was Pete's Pinball down the street. I typically eat at the Troy/ Rochester location, but I would prefer a place with a sink before having chicken and waffles. So I would probably get a drink here again but not order food.

I love coming here every time I come downtown! This place has a wide variety of flavors to try and the combinations are endless! Outside of boba, they also offer a small amount of quick bites to eat. You can order at the front station or on the tablet to cut down on wait times. The cafe itself is relatively small, so I would stick to smaller groups if you're planning to come and hang out for a bit.

Insane portion! Ordered the size large and the cups are huge!! Perfect for a nice hot day during the summer. I've been to their cafes in Ann Arbor and Troy. I really enjoy their drinks. Not overly sweet. Definitely hit the spot!!

Easier ordering at the kiosk. Fast and friendly service. My son said his boba was great. The chicken had great flavor. Biggest downside- no bathrooms.

Tiger Milk Tea and Sugar Doughnuts (10)

Day of visit: 4th of July '22 Love this place. Staff is always friendly, and boba is always on point along with those yummy sugared donuts. Saw a team member help a guest with Gluten concerns and she made sure to get her the correct information on what she can order. Bravo team member! That's going the extra mile. Didn't get her name but she had braids, African American, super friendly. Always a lovely visit.

Taro Milk Tea with Tapioca (Boba) and a Nutella Waffle
Selena B.

Wonderful new (as of Jan. 2021) bubble tea place on campus! I ordered at the kiosk but they have counter service as well. My order was ready in the amount of time they gave and was delicious! Their stuffed waffles are incredible and their bubble tea drinks are huge! I always cut my sweetness to at least half at Boba places; they gave me an option for 30% sweetness and it was still incredibly sweet! (Yum!) Boba (the tapioca bubbles) do not come standard though, so pay attention when you're ordering! Definitely a must try out if you're in the area. I will return!

T-J Milk Tea

I visited quickly a few times, each time I went with high hopes of a great experience. They really drew me in with their great marketing ads on Instagram, but unfortunately, I was left underwhelmed each time. My bubble tea was great, so on my next trip I decided to place an order ahead online and ordered some food. When it was time for pick up my order was incorrect, they missed a few items and I was not impressed with the food I received.

Giant bubble tea!

"RooRoast!"…read more Waiting for the light to change at Main and Stadium, I look down at the clock. Seven minutes to five. "What the heck. I'll call." "Hey Siri, call Roos Roast." My heart races a little. I'd been trying to get over for a coffee all day and now they are about to close. I blurt out my ask. "...any way you could just leave a coffee outside on the picnic table. I could slip the money under the door?" "Don't worry about it." Kyra says. "Just knock. I'll make it right now." "Thank you so much." 5:02 pm: I zoom into the parking lot, jump out of the car, run up to the door and knock. The door swings open and there she is...my coffee angel; coffee in hand with a smile. I know she is trying to get out of there. I grab the coffee, shove some money with a good tip into her hand. "Thank you so much. I'll write about it." I yell back. It's taken me a couple of weeks but herein lies my humble expression of gratitude to Kyra, the one who had the where with all to stop and ask herself: Who's in charge here, the clock or my heart? I love everything about RoosRoast; the music, the art, the bulletin board, the garden, and especially the relaxed atmosphere that makes you want to stop and have a chat with someone in line or the lovely people who make you really good coffee. Did I mention the really good coffee? All of this run by the renewable energy of the sun. I learned from a young person (I'm 70) in line one day that the buzz word in commerce right now, is "frictionless"; luring us to fly even faster through our precious moments without obstruction. No time to chat or stop and connect. Oh my gosh! If we don't have each other, what else is there? As Ann Arbor drifts away from the townie town it once was, RoosRoast stands defiant; determined to hold space for the slow down, the slow talk, the long pull. I always leave RR happier and more at peace than when I arrived. Thank you Kyra and RoosRoast

First, their lamination is ON POINT. Then add the Korean flavors and flair to it? Chef's kiss. So Injeolmi is basically like a mochi rice cake dessert with roasted soy bean powder on it. So they did their take on it by dusting the exterior with the roasted soy bean powder and putting the rice cake part INSIDE. You basically have to eat this day-of though - rice flour goodies are never that great re-heated. *trompe de l'oeil desserts - they have various ones that look like fruit BUT my favorite cheesecake that looks like a piece of cheese on a cheese board ha. Love the whimsy. *the sleeping bear cakes! I think this is more of a Valentine's Day special - I'm not sure if it's year-around but it's so cute and the chocolate mousse is so luscious with the perfect ratio of raspberry. *Dubai chocolate mochi - this is probably my favorite take on this viral trend. It's a really fascinating texture with the soft rice cake/mochi meeting the crunchy kataifi. I'm into though!

Come early because they tend to sell out of some stuff by the early afternoon! That Dubai chocolate…read moremochi is so good.

I tried their Blue Whale namesake drink, and enjoyed! From the written menu, I thought this was going to be butterfly pea powder, cinnamon, almond milk, maple syrup, coconut whipped cream. However, when ordering the Blue Whale drink on the self serve order kiosk, it's described as "Blue Majik" spirulina/energy boosting botanicals (carbonated). The drink I got fit the latter's description. Would suggest updating the board :). I did get a little jittery afterwards, but unsure if that was from the "energy boosting" botanicals or from a coffee I had a couple hours earlier. (Or combo - I do tend to be more sensitive to caffeine, and assuming this drink was caffeine free.) Free WiFi and seating/outlets to do a bit of work here. Not a lot of seating for this, but it wasn't busy on a Thursday morning for a little work! Clean airy vibes, and convenient location in what I call the "Trader Joe's plaza".
