we came here for some finger food and boba. for finger foods, we got the popcorn chicken and the takoyaki. the popcorn chicken was a HUGE portion, which i am happy about. it was a bang for my buck! i wished they seasoned it more.. it smelled pretty fishy. idk if it was older oil, or the type of seasoned batter they used. but i could definitely smell something fishy. also i wished their spicy seasoning was a little more spicy. was too mild for me. the Takoyaki was PERFECT!! sooo delicious i want more. these octopus balls are so full of flavor! read more

Not bad at all. Ordered Popcorn Chicken, Milk Tea Boba and Musubi. Chicken was flavorful and a generous portion. Milk Tea was sweet and had a good tea flavor ;bobas were nice and springy! Spam Musubi was nice and warm, rice just sticky enough. read more

Went yesterday evening, I ordered the fried shrimp, curly fries and a slush. I didn't finish my meal. I woke up after an hour of falling asleep and been sick even as I write this. I got food poisoning. read more

Ordered a Thai tea with boba and I have like 19 tapioca in my cup and literally 5 pieces of ice NOT HAPPY read more

Quickly - Bubble Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

Quickly's has never been my fav. (they were better than tap. ex though). syrups never won me over. usually ordered the weak tea. tea so weak if u add sugar, no more tea taste. noticed standing board in front of store. all kind of "bowls" offered (4.99) + drink = 5.99 eats: popcorn chicken w/ jasmine milk tea(5.99) -inadvertantedly handed over an extra dollar. got it back -popcorn was tender, not overfried, lots of its. mini-nuggets -rice, short grain, softer, easier to eat, had a little bit of gravy, eat it all. take outs: -fab service, honesty and reasonably priced food 3.5 stars -like this more than linjia's korean fried chicken..(11). -this quickly so reasonable, friendly, quick service.... -jasmine milk tea too sweet, forget to cancel the sugar. -look for promos on standing board in front of store. read more

Nice little friendly boba spot when you're by Lake Merritt! Only have a few tables inside but usually we take it to go. Spicy popcorn chicken could be spicier, but they have a full condiment section full of extra spices & sauce for you to add on manually. Reasonably priced, basically the amount you'd pay for at most boba places. read more

I love this place! Nicest quickly in the bay area!! My only complaint is the lame entitled white people that live around here and come in. Which is not Quickly's fault. read more

See all

Probably one of, if not the best Quickly that I've been to. I ordered the Oreo milk tea and the crispy mini octopus during my visit. Oreo milk tea (4/5) Tasted like regular milk tea with a hint of Oreo flavor with Oreo crumbs. This was surprisingly creamy and very delicious. The sweetness wasn't too overwhelming either and I didn't ask for any sweetness adjustments. This is my first time ordering this and was the most expensive items in the milk tea section (3.50 as opposed to the average of 2.99). Only thought would be that there could be more Oreo flavor, but otherwise super delicious. Fried mini octopus (4/5) Perfectly fried to a nice crisp with not too much breading. They give you a good amount for 4.50. Other quicklys I've been to either have too much breading or too little food, but this didn't have either of the problems. However, you do need to flavor your food yourself, so that's something to note. It comes out bland but I'm sure it's intentional since everyone has different tastes. They have spicy powder, pepper and salt on the counter for you to adjust as you like. Other quicklys usually ask you for the spicy level and even if you don't say any they'll add salt and pepper. This isn't a big deal but something that people should note. Love this quickly! Will be back for more. read more

I'm always a fan of quickly's Taro milk tea with grass jelly I know I'm hella late on this but I didn't know they opened a quickly on lakeshore until my son asked me if I wanted some boba so after shopping at footlocker we stopped by here it was only a few people in the shop no one was at the front desk I placed my order for two Taro milk tea and a popcorn chicken everything was good. read more

Quickly - Popcorn chicken - Bubble Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

Yay for grand opening & regular prices on their big size promo! Also yay because we have boba in a highly populated area of mostly Caucasians too! It sounds so exciting to me for them to be curious of this boba stuff too lol. I work down the street & my ASM told me that my manager recently had her first boba ever & she was literally just blown away. It's just so cute because not only mostly Asian will be familiar to boba, a more diverse group will be too! So good job to my fellow Chinese who owns the store. & lastly shoutout to my babes who work here! ((: read more

I ordered calamari rings. They were delicious... until I found a hair stuck to one of the calamari rings. I was so disgusted I immediately threw the rest of it away. read more

Waited 30 minutes for 2 regular milk teas. 2 other customers that came after me got their orders before me, one order which included food. That's just ridiculous. They were busy I get that, but please get a better system going in the back. read more

They have an extensive menu, With snacks and drinks. The drinks are soy-based, which is nice because I am vegan. They also have other milk options available. The drinks and food usually come out pretty fast. The workers are always pleasant and welcoming. Parking can be hard in the area, but that isn't the establishments fault. read more

Clean place. The guys can work harder on being a little more friendly. But the girls makeup for it. Plenty of choices to choose from. We love their TakoYaki my favorite drink has been the Lychee Slush and I like to get it with RainbowJelly and MangoStar read more

Quickly - So here they are Coconut and Champagne grape slush with aloe, and rainbow jelly - Bubble Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

For starters, the prices are much better here than most Milk Tea places. A small milk tea is $2.50. Also, no credit card minimum (rare!). There's Free Wi-Fi that actually works, not many tables and seats, but there's usually seating. It's right on Lakeshore with big window views of the street. Music playing, friendly staff. I'm a fan overall. read more

Quickly - The inside seating area and view of Lakeshore Avenue - Bubble Tea Near Me - Oakland, California

This place is the Worst! The girls here are extremely rude!! Very slow too (no point in calling it "Quickly") Whoever trained them needs to revise the way these young girls were trained.. Anyway, popcorn chicken taste old and bob stale. Plus, no thousand island sauce and way too expensive. Will not be coming here anymore; If there were a no star, that's what i would give them!!1 read more

I went there yesterday trying new drink called earl grey it wasn't a good drink so of course I try to take it back and get another drink my girl went to exchange the drink and lady gave us a hard time to exchange the drink she said cus I left that we couldn't exchange the drink so of course we argue and she finally gave me my drink I never go to this quickly again food wasn't that good terrible customer service read more

This place is aptly named - my tea always comes out quickly and I'm never waiting long. The food is pretty average and the tiger milk tea is the only thing I'd ever specifically come here for, but they are nice and fast and good if you're in the area and are craving some boba. Definitely a lot better than some of the other Quickly locations. read more

Good drinks, but terrible customer service. The girls who work at the front counter are always so rude! I used to go here a lot, but won't be anymore. read more

Just went in today and as I am waiting here I secretly find one of the employees dropping some food (fried tofu) about 2 of them. And she decided to check if there was any dirt on the food and just picked it off the ground and put it in my food.And u didn't like the service at. You guys gotta watch what they be doing cause soon or later y'all might be getting food poisoning read more

I've order from here through doordash a few times. Each time they have given me my milk tea boba drinks without any boba... Even though it is requested under additional instructions. This is the 4th time now and so I had to write a review. With this particular order the strawberry yogurt drink i ordered was just strawberry juice... Its not rocket science and reading orders properly, i would think, is pretty basic. The date of this order 8/11/2018, cmon guys you would have to be pretty stupid to get orders like this consistently wrong over and over again. read more

This was my first time going to Quicklys, ever. I know that there is one on E 14th, but I was never allowed to go there. Since I just found out (today) that there is one on Lakeshore, I decided to go in because I was in a mood for some milk tea. Ordered the regular milk tea ($2.50) with tapioca. Not sure if they charged me for the tapioca, because I wasn't really aware. I also ordered the takoyaki ($5.99) which turned out to be hella good once my order was called. The lady at the cash register was nice enough to upgrade my drink for free because today is Halloween, and I was in costume. She also gave me a Quickly stamp card alongside free candy! How neat is that? Definitely will come back again for the same ol' milk tea + a different side snack next time. read more

As soon as I entered the store, I was greeted by their friendly staff. I have been to other Quickly stores, but this one is unique and has a very good look inside. The food quality is great(we ordered snacks), more to say the popcorn chicken is "d bomb" and the drinks are very refreshing. The location is easy to find and there are multiple parkings in front of the store. Thank you for the good experience! read more

Called ahead to order popcorn chicken and milk tea. Arrived five minutes later and waited another five minutes. Chicken was POWDERY and UNDERWHELMING as if they rushed it and didn't cook the coating all the way through. Last week has Mr Green Bubble on Piedmont Ave and it was WAYYY better. Only good thing about this visit was the happy hour price that I took advantage of. read more

This is my new favorite quicklys. This is the only one that actually hooks it up and has deals. For 8$+ tax I can get a popcorn chicken rice bowl and get a free drink with it? And the mango slush was fire? Yup I'm sold read more

friendly & helpful workers they all greeted me warmly by my name and ask how my days are going ... they offer help, suggestions and even give/ offer to make complementary sample to try before I committed to full sized. They offer to redo my drinks a few times when i didnt like it which is superb nice (even when i told them its okay).. they even deliver to my work when i was too busy to pickup my drinks/foods ... &&&& they offer discounts deals and freebies ... got a few free drinks coz i was wearing piece of attire on game day (warriors!) i love this place and always come back coz they appreciate and value your business & wants you to be happy with the drinks/foods read more

Those snack tastes like new worker cooked! Won't order anymore .

Love their boba. Try their watermelon aloe boba and you will not be disappointed. So refreshing! I went there this afternoon to get myself their fried chicken and it was yummy. Great price great taste - what more can you ask for? read more

The cashier, Zoe, made ordering very easy as it was my first time there. She gave me recommendatIons based on what was popular and which drinks she enjoyed herself. Great place to stop by if you're passing through and want a quick snack or drink. Would come again, great service. read more

really hard to order and hear what the order is when you have the TV right next to the register. Which is why they got my order wrong. But the real reason why I am writing a bad review because the avocado and mango tasted very watered down. read more

I went to quickly's yesterday and was helped instantly. I got an Oreo Chocolate Nutella snow (best drink I've ever had). The young lady at the front desk was very willing to help and answer all questions and inquires I had about multiple drinks before ordering. Music selection was good, enough seating area for myself and my collage who came with me. Wait time was under 4 minutes. Has great potential to be a booming business in the Lakeshore Area, definitely will be coming back soon! read more

I'm addicted to quickly's. I love their Thai Milk tea with mango star's! Everyone is very friendly! Definitely recommend this place

I love this quickly! Small business in the neighborhood is always nice. The food is always fresh and the drinks are yummy too!

Really bad customer service I walk in the young lady that was in the front took my order while she had food in her mouth didnt even talk to me. I order a oreo snow with mango jelly and a oreo snow with boba and when i got my order it was a mango snow with mango jelly and a mango snow with boba, when ask what it was she say mango snow what you order and she turn around and help someone else. read more

I can only recommend this place when one is desperate for any form of boba. The place is clean enough but the workers range from apathetic to rude. The drinks are average to below average tea/artificial flavoring quality, but at least the prices are pretty cheap. read more

Do not gobto this Quickly, they do not honor there 3-5pm Happy Hour price. The owners mom refused to make my food because it was 2:50pm. The cashier rung up the order and I paid for it and said it was fine. The owners mom went outside to make sure that the sign said everyday Happy Hour. Personally I think they are races and I sat patiently waiting for my food I paid for. I will never come back to this place EVER! read more

I'm very unhappy with the customer service here. I came here with a friend to order a drink and food. The lady rang us up at the special happy hour price but refused to serve us the food till 3pm! It was very rude and she made us sit there and wait. We will not be returning to this business. They lost some very good customers. read more

Quickly???? Not even! Took 20 minutes for a watermelon slush

Love this Quickly! I've been to one other and they are very different; I was not impressed with the other location. I always order the matcha milk tea with tapioca and it is the best! The perfect amount of sweetness for me. I also like that their sealed tops work well, but also are easy to pierce, unlike U Cha in Berkeley where I need to repeatedly and forcefully stab the sealed too to get to my drink (it can get a little messy). I would have given 5 stars but they recently changed their rewards program and you basically have to spend $50 to get a free drink now. read more

The girl at the register was on her phone as we walked up and didn't put it down to greet us or anything. When we started to give her our order she finally put it down. Spoke to us with an attitude. The drinks were good though. read more
