The worker was so sweet and helpful. The cafe was set up very welcoming and friendly. I got the brown sugar lava tea and it was very good! Not too sweet or plain. I only give 4 stars because the menu offered a lot of options they no longer had as far as food goes. Would go back again. read more

You know you're in a solid Taiwanese spot when the speakers are blasting a piano cover of 童话 when you walk in. The decor and the smells are all reminiscent of my youth - kind of like that scene in Ratatouille where Ego takes his first bite and gets flashbacks. The thing is though, while everything is passably good, almost every dish or drink has something that is just off enough to miss the mark. For example, the braised pork bowl has lettuce and not cabbage and was quite oily. The popcorn chicken had no basil, and the boba was just lacking in depth. Overall, it's a spot I would really love to love - but it's just not offering quite enough to be on my list of go-to spots. That being said, the service is very kind - a friend had an issue with her drink and it was promptly replaced without question. read more

Will be coming back often. Great price with good tea and good chicken. Nice cleaning seating area and public bathroom. Quick service too

I give this Quickly location in Chapel Hill three stars. It's OK. Quickly is one of the OG bubble tea chains. It was founded in 1996 and there are over 2,000 locations worldwide. At the time of writing this review, there are four locations in North Carolina. Three in the Triangle - Chapel Hill, Durham, and Morrisville - and one in Charlotte. This Chapel Hill location opened in the Meadowmont Village mixed-use development in July 2018. If you've never been to Meadowmont Village before, it's nice. Things I've noticed about Quickly compared to other large and well-known bubble tea chains over the past 10-15 years are the stores are inconsistent in terms of their branding and interior design, some of the cups are particularly cheap and flimsy, and the drinks aren't as good as they used to be because there's more competition - and a lot of it is better. All of those apply to this Quickly location Chapel Hill. For example, in the Triangle, for bubble tea, we prefer Moge Tee, but will come to this Quickly out of convenience. That said, this location isn't bad and it's certainly nice to have a legit bubble tea option in this part of Chapel Hill, which is a bubble tea desert, especially with the recent closing of nearby Meet Fresh. We've ordered a variety of drinks here - some, multiple times - including the Oolong Milk Tea (large, $5.00) with boba (+$0.50) and grass jelly (+$0.50), Passion Fruit Tea (large size only, $6.00), Mango Lava Tea (large size only, $6.50) with mango popping boba (+$0.50), and Three Guys Milk Tea (large size only, $6.00) with boba, grass jelly, and egg pudding (all three toppings included) at various sugar and ice levels. In general, the tea flavor has been good, but the quality of the toppings has been lacking. For example, the boba has been bland and mushy and the grass jelly (one of my favorite toppings) texture has been strange/off and it's left an unusual aftertaste. One reason I'm giving this Quickly three stars is because other Quickly locations I've been to have made better-tasting drinks overall. My wife disagrees, though, so like all reviews, take this one with a grain of salt. Service has been fine. I like the interior seating and decor here. It's cute, relatively spacious, and feels a bit more homey than your typical bubble tea joint. The Tolix (or Tolix-style) chairs are comfortable. They have limited outdoor sidewalk seating as well. Like other Quicklys, in addition to drinks, this location serves Asian snacks - much of it fried - like Taiwanese popcorn chicken ($7.50), Japanese takoyaki (octopus, $7.75), and spam musubi (2 for $6.00). read more

Favorite boba spot in the area for sure! Never had a drink from there that I didn't like and the food is just as good. The New York style Korean Fried Chicken is insanely delicious and for sure a must try. They also have bowls and bao with different meat options. As well as other street food appetizers like musubi, takoyaki, fries and fried items like fish balls, calamari, tofu, etc. We typically get fruit or milk teas but they also have snow smoothies, slushies, and crema tea. Service has always been fast. The inside is super cute and a great place to study/work, spend time with loved ones, or just relax. They normally play instrumental music and the decor is so cozy it's really such a zen space. read more

Convenient location if you are around UNC Finley South Soccer camp or golf course. Quick service and wide selection of BoBoa tea flavors and some Taiwanese snacks. They also have some single-serving cheesecake or seasonable flavor cakes. Good ambiance with comfortable seatings and clean bathroom. Price is ok reasonable too. read more

I've been visiting here every summer when we come down to North Carolina and every time this place refuses to disappoint. Service is always very local and kind. Popcorn chicken and dumplings are incredible and the snows and tea. These teas and snows are phenomenal the Oreos now is so good it's just a perfect sweat Oreo treat and the teas are great as well. Ambience is very cozy and inviting. They have a nice little reading nook in the corner and proper seating area in another. All together 5/5. read more

This boba tea cafe is so cute and charming. It has the atmosphere of a coffee shop, and is a great place to hang out and study. The staff were very nice, and allowed me to customize my drink. I got a half and half mango passionfruit tea with light ice and boba, and it was pretty good. The boba seems more tasteless than normal, but maybe that is just my preference. I would recommend this boba tea shop. read more

I love Quickly! Not only are the milk teas delightful (try the rose ) but the spicy popcorn chicken is perfect for a quick bite. It's so clean, they have an absolutely gorgeous pothos plant which makes the ambiance so whimsical and cozy, they have comfy sitting chairs in the corners, and a they have a little library! It may take a moment to order but patience is a virtue -- give it a try and you'll be hooked! You can also order ahead from their website if you're in a rush! This place is a Chapel Hill gem. read more

As an avid boba lover I was beyond disappointed with Quickly. When entering the shop the music was blasting and the cashier (who was probably the son of the owner) had no charisma or patience. Me and 2 other family members ordered a taro milk boba tea, Thai tea, and a mango tea along with food. This was over $40 worth of items. The boba was unimpressive and bland, but the mango tea was the worst. It tasted like sipping perfume out of a bottle. When I politely asked if we could exchange it (this was a $6 drink!!) he said "no, you bought the tea." I then asked if he could at least add more sweetener. The food was alright but overpriced for what you received. Disappointed overall. read more

Some Boba shops make their milk tea THICKLY Some make their fruit drinks sweet and SICKLY Some get their tea from PIGGLY WIGGLY But you'll find good Boba drinks at QUICKLY This was a cute little Quickly, but they didn't have enough help, and the old lady was absolutely adorable but couldn't understand why she had so many customers waiting for so many different things - especially people waiting for food. So it took literally forever for me to come out with my one drink, which tasted like a pretty typical Quickly standard (mediocre), the Viet Iced Coffee, it was. And I'm definitely happy to give them 4 stars. I don't love Quickly products at all but occasionally I find one where I give them 5 and if I was rating for service alone I would definitely give this lady 5, even though it took a while, because she is so very friendly. Overall I give a 4, but she has a heart of gold and I would definitely come back here again when I'm in Chapel Hill, because it's not like there's a lot of great Boba around here - although Cha House is on another level and one of the best in the whole country. And remember - Quickly is the nickname of most boys I know. And we're talking less than 60 seconds. I know, right. I thought Gone In 60 Seconds was a Nic Cage movie, it's not. It's a descriptive for 95% of men. What a shame. read more

Enjoyed the tea and seating ambiance. Our order came quickly but their boba tea is pricey! Indoor smells of fried oil - I guess they need to fix their kitchen exhaust. The ladies behind the counter seem friendly but the guy who sometimes takes orders needs customer service training read more

Tl;dr: This is the spot for familiar boba, and asian food/snacks. Looked up a boba and snack shop in the CH area and this was the most popular option. Went in and ordered a slushy boba and Taiwanese popcorn chicken. The lychee slushy boba was very flavorful. If you have ever eaten lychee jellies (my fav was freezing them first), then this is a drinkable version of that. Sweet, fruity, and cold. The boba were standard, but I wasn't looking for any more sweetness in the boba since the slushy was already sweet. The Taiwanese popcorn chicken was my favorite. Peppery and salty, juicy and crunchy. Definitely try it! read more

I'm quite happy to have a Quickly location in Chapel Hill. It's located in an up-and-coming neighborhood surrounded by good eateries! The shop can get quite busy but the drinks are worth it.

Caveat: I have not tried the food yet (next time) Love this atmosphere. I visited mid-day (during the week) and it's been a quiet place, great for working with a laptop and great access to wall outlets (benches near the wall). Drinks: I'm a big fan of fruit tea drinks. Highly recommend the grapefruit, not too sweet and very refreshing. read more

This is a nice and clean boba tea shop that serves boba tea. However, I had really high expectations which is probably why I was a little bit disappointed. The tapioca pearls were a little hardened, probably because of all the ice in there even though I asked for "less ice." The tea in the premium milk tea wasn't very detectable, and the milk tasted like it was made from milk powder. Their popcorn chicken is good and they make it fresh, which is great but do expect a bit of a wait. I was hoping to try their pork buns and poke bowls, but that food actually isn't available yet. In terms of this as a study spot: the space itself is good because there is a lot of natural light and lots of outlets with good wifi, but unfortunately the one thing I couldn't stand was the oil in the air probably from frying the popcorn chicken.... The smell lingered in my clothes and made my eyes water. read more

Came a late afternoon. I love the convenient location and spacious parking at Meadowmont. I ordered an Oolong boba tea and a braised pork bowl. The food was authentic and tasted like some of the braised pork I had in Taiwan. It's a great place not only to get quality boba tea but also have an inexpensive authentic meal. read more

I have had been to Quickly for a few times for bobba tea but have never had a meal until last week. I have ordered Taiwanese style pork over rice, Hawaiian style tofu over rice, fried chicken, and sweet potato fries. The Hawaiian tofu over rice is the worst among the pack, but it's still meeting my expectation. The fried tofu on rice is crisp and the sides are spot on. The fried chicken and fries are both well seasoned. The fried chicken has the right amount of salt and pepper mixed to it; the fries has some tomato flavored spices to it. The Taiwanese style pork over rice is the best in the order, very ethinitic. The price performance is great and the service is on par with other fast food Chinese restaurants. Solid 4 stars read more

Each time I've been here, the service has been fantastic! I like that you can customize how sweet and how much ice you'd like in your drink. I haven't tried any of the food (yet!), but it all looks really fresh coming out and smells divine. The cafe is kept very clean and inviting, and there is always a table to sit down and enjoy your drink. Would definitely recommend for anyone looking for some good boba milk tea. read more

Great place to grab a quick refreshment. This cafe caught my eye while walking through Meadowmont. The employees are welcoming and the menu is filled with delicious items to choose from. I had just eaten breakfast so I decided on coffee milk tea ($4.00) and lychee snow ($5.00) with added boba (+$0.50). Overall, the flavor, price, and packaging are similar to other bubble tea places. I do like the plastic covering they place on the rim of the cup. I am pretty clumsy and needed to take the drinks home, so this prevented the beverages from spilled in the car. We would return here for bubble tea/coffee. read more

Came here for some milk tea, and ended up ordering some popcorn chicken and takoyaki. Panda Milk Tea - 4/5 , good taste and not too strong or watery. Bubbles tasted fine. Milk was a little weak but was still enjoyable. Takoyaki - 4/5, lavor was excellent and octopus was cooked very well, not too rubbery and not undercooked. Very similar to the Takoyaki I had in Osaka, except a little less mayo. Popcorn chicken - 5/5, great flavor, juicy and tasted fresh. Nice crunch on the outside, tender chicken on the inside. Service was great, staff was polite, and food was served very quickly, 5 mins tops. read more

This was a great addition to the Meadowmont Community bringing tasty Boba and an awesome environment to hang out or do some work. I have been to other boba places but this one is by far my favorite in the area for these reasons: 1.Many favors of milk and black tea where "regular sugar" does not mean 10 tablespoons of sugar. I like sweets and I find that this place gets the balance of sweetness and flavor just right! 2.The atmosphere is inviting and spacious for dates, work, study, etc. 3.The staff were very welcoming, sweet, helpful, and a big reason this is a great place 4.They have snacks and meals available at a good price for the amount of food given! I recommend the fried chicken and rice, very well seasoned! 5.The tapioca boba is fresh and made to perfection! TLDR: a great small business bringing tasty bubble tea and Korean snacks to Chapel Hill! read more

I am originally from Raleigh (which seriously lacks any good Asian food for a reasonable price) and I was happy to be able to stop by this shop in our way back from my day trip. Originally I was just going to try a milk tea, but I saw a picture of their popcorn chicken and takoyaki (grilled octopus balls) that I had to try. I tried the panda boba tea, delicious and refreshing. They don't overload on the ice either so it won't be too watered down. Reasonable amount of tapioca bubbles too. The popcorn chicken was great, I feel like it could have been a little more crunchy, but overall, it was tasty and cooked well. Definitely good for a snack to share or almost as a meal for yourself if you choose to. The takoyaki was cooked well to perfection. Cooking octopus is tricky because it gets rubbery if you cook it for too long, but I didn't have a problem with Quickly. I will warn that it's like a pizza roll, it will be molten hot in the inside and can burn your mouth if you aren't careful so make sure you take a small bite to let it cool off properly. Overall, if you want to get a filling snack and refreshing drink, it's a decent place to try. I'll have to come back and get the popcorn chicken in the spicy option. I'll also want to try their other flavors for milk tea. Will be coming back when I'm in town again. read more

I discovered boba (or tapioca tea as the restaurant called it) nearly 20 years ago and was an instant fan. But I moved away from my college town and it was no longer easy to find. This evening my wife and I were walking by this place and she asked if I wanted boba. It's been probably 10 years since I last had it, so I was excited to get the chance. I ordered a large taro milk tea (add boba) and my wife got a Nutella tea with 75% sugar. Mine is fantastic, and the boba is a perfect level of squishy. She's really enjoying hers, and appreciates the less-sweet option. I hope we'll be back soon! read more

I was talking to a friend about Lady M and he recommended Quickly because they sell crepe cakes! I came around dinner time so I ordered their Braised Pork Bowl and I just couldn't leave without trying their cake. The order came out extremely fast and the employee told me that the cake came from the freezer, and that I should wait an hour if I'd prefer the soft texture. I tried it on the spot and a few hours apart, and it tastes awesome. I actually would say that this is comparable to Lady M. As for their Braised Pork Bowl, I do wish that they chose another vegetable other than lettuce, but the bowl is decent. read more

I love popcorn chicken. Where ever I go and it's on the menu...I order it. This place does it good. Portion size and price are decent. Their bubble tea menu is small. But the ones I tried was good.

I ordered Quickly through Uber eats for dinner tonight. We tried the avocado snow drink which was delicious, the spam bowl, which was OK and the chicken wings. I think the wings might have been delicious but no where on the Quickly website nor the Uber eats website, was there a discussion on how spicy these chicken wings are. We had to toss them as no one could eat them. The spice level was unacceptable. Wish there was a mild alternative. read more

I am ECSTATIC that there is finally a Quickly near UNC campus! I previously had to venture to Morrisville for my boba fix. At your first visit to this location you might be overwhelmed by the amount of activities or restaurants in Meadowmont Village! Rest assured, Quickly is truly unique in its variety of milk tea/snow flavors, add-ins, and appetizers. I ordered the coffee milk tea with regular boba and finally the void in my soul was filled. However, I will be back shortly to have the Oreo milk tea with boba! I did knock off a star for taking a while to provide the fried tofu I ordered, but they compensated me with an order of fries. I would not say this food was worth the wait because I thought this would be a quick stop on the way home, but it was delicious nonetheless. read more

This boba place has become one of my more regular go-to spots due to its convenient location. The bubble teas are pretty standard; dependable milk teas and slushies with nothing especially fancy. The snack items I now regularly order are the fried tofu and the popcorn chicken. Both the regular and spicy chicken are yummy and the snacks are pretty good value for your money. Definitely take advantage of the frequent-drinker boba card they have! read more

Y'all!! Bubble tea or should I say "buuuuuubbbbbbllleeee Teeeaaaaa....." just imagine that I'm Homer Simpson drooling over a donut while saying that, because that's pretty much the spitting image of me every time I enter into the restaurant. On a serious note, I had the privilege of interviewing the owners and they informed me that they ship over the sauces used for their chicken and pork dishes directly from Taiwan, so the flavors must be pretty authentic, right?!?! While I'm not so much a fan of their food items, I think that it's neat to enjoy a cross-cultural eating experience every once in a while. It's also such a cute little place with such lovely owners, I honestly can't say enough about it. read more

I'm so lucky to live near this place. I come here so often the staff already recognizes me. There's one very polite employee who will come out and wave hi if he's working to make drinks and not at the register. He's super nice! I buy the popcorn chicken more often than I should. It's super flavorful and I love the texture. And I live in walking distance so uh why not go there sometimes more than once a week???? I also get the same thing every time because I am a creature of habit and it is hotter than the surface of the sun right now. I NEED a slushie. I like it in the watermelon flavor with the passion fruit popping boba. Great combination. There are so many other drink combinations and I want to try an snow one day (which is like the slushie but has cream, I think) or the cheese cap on a milk tea because that sounds amazing and a little weird but I have to try it one day. Though I love the watermelon slushie so much that I'm not sure when that day will come. One day! And then I will be back to tell you how much I love their other drinks lol. read more

Guess I shouldn't have kept my hopes up given that Quickly well... quickly died out in Singapore once Koi and Gong Cha hit our shores and soon became our staples. It's just as bad here unfortunately. Oolong milk tea ($4 for large, $0.50 for grass jelly, $0.50 for crystal boba) - 1 star Way too milky although the oolong taste was strong. Came with barely any boba or grass jelly. Their drinks are made from powder so don't get your hopes up! Matcha mille crepes ($7) - 3 stars The crepes are chewy rather than delicate and the cream used is low-quality - it's greasy. Decent, pretty strong matcha flavour though. Ambience - 2 stars There's good wifi and outlets are easily available but the place smells strongly of stale oil (for the popcorn chicken probably). I wouldn't come back! read more
