    Had to get 20 drinks for a party to pick up as soon as they open. I paid for it in advance. Owner was super nice and got it done right on time. He even call me to let me know when it'll be done. (My friends commented that he doesn't seem nice, but he is super nice when I chat with him in Chinese ) Drinks were yummy as usual. Great addition to my party!

    Still the BEST popcorn chicken available! Juicy, spicy, fried to perfection not to mention those pieces of fried basil are delicious. I keep coming back just for the popcorn chicken. I don't understand why other places do not include fried basil which elevates the dish and why other places are unable to make it spicy when I asked for the maximum spice level. Only thing I wish for would be sweet and sour sauce with this delicacy. Place is a bit run down but I don't care much for aesthetics as long as what I'm going there for is above par. Parking can be tight if you arrive when the plaza is busy. Cash only.

    Came here for a papaya milk and it was alright, but the guy at the register was rude and unhelpful. Shook his head when I asked for a regular size drink and told me "medium or large." Don't expect the best quality or service here, but it's a classic boba joint in the heart of San Gabriel. Cash only btw!

    Cash only! And no bills over $20. The interior is quite old and they didn't have a lot of helpers in the front so it was one person making the drinks and taking your order. I ordered fries for $1.96 which is significantly cheaper than other boba shop (their fried tempura which is my second go to was also a lot cheaper at $2.99). The fries came out in around 5 minutes were just as good as any other boba shop and it was nice and warm! Definitely worth it for the price and will go back to try their drinks!

    Small front, been here forever.

    I didn't want to write a review because I want to keep this particular Quickly a secret! It's a small mom & pop style boba shop even though they got stores around the world. It's not the best tasting milk tea or green tea but provide excellent value! I bought 3 large drinks for $6. Sometimes I don't care too much and want some basic green tea or milk tea and they give me what I want. The place has been almost the same for a decade or two. The food is basic Taiwanese minced meat rice and its delicious and cheap! I come here all the time, especially when I don't really know what I want. Don't come here when you're craving something really yummy. It almost feel like getting food fast but with rice and boba. I'm happy with the place.

    Would give 3 and a half stars but I feel bad so I am rounding it. Decided to give this place a try since I was nearby! There's a sign that says 98 cents boba milk tea but that is NOT true. The boba milk tea is actually $1.50 for a small, and $2.05 for a large. I also got a Wintermelon Juice for 98 cents. There is also regular black iced tea for the same price. The boba is chewy and the milk tea is a bit flavorless(it may have been sitting for awhile or either they did not add enough sugar) but I mean you get what you pay for right! One of the best value Quicklys I have been to, from someone who has been to many Quicklys location, but this isn't one of the best quality ones.

    Quicklys is like the original equivalent of a Starbucks. Its on "almost" every corner of a neighborhood near you. There are tons of different private ownership of these establishments. This one on San Gabriel Blvd is in my favor for the best one around. It's a bit beat up looking, yes from being around when orbit was the hit spot for Pokemon cards in 1999 and 2000. Not sure if it's been around longer. Anyways. This place holds very dear to me on terms of affordable milk tea and great food for an inexpensive price. 6.50 for a popcorn chicken rice combo with a free drink of black tea or I forgot the other (2018 current price). The food is tastier in my opinion compared to the Alhambra location near the wendys on Las tunas. Also they don't pack your Togo in a styrofoam container. The chicken is alot crispier and more seasoned. The pickled veggies is the winner with fried tofu and the rice with the minced pork and green beans, along with the tea egg. I've managed to come here budgeting for a filling meal for under 7 bucks and can't complain. It's always filling and VERY tasty but also inexpensive. Call ahead for orders or just show up. Thanks Quickly (San Gabriel) for always keeping it old school but fresh. FYI: cash only.

    This is THE place for cheap and satisfying boba in town! Their food is usually hit or miss but there's so many other choices nearby..

Came here with my daughter yesterday, after she raved to me about how good they were. She was right! We each got their small size, but it was filled with so much goodness to fill our hunger. It's build-your-own everything here at Roots & Rye! Not just acai bowls, but toasts and smoothies as well. Unlimited toppings is a dream come true. I chose green tea matcha and overnight oats for my base. Topped it with banana, strawberries, oats, almonds and almond butter. It was SO good! The matcha tastes just like frozen yogurt. I can't believe these babies are good for us. When I got home around dinner time, I was still full from my açaí bowl. I will be thinking about these bowls until the next time I get them again. Goodness with each bowl, heaven with each bite.

I have not yet tried their açai bowl although what I have seen from others, it looks delicious and it has a vast range of toppings that are unlimited. I even saw toddlers, ordering it and super excited to eat it. What I have ordered often from the shop are there toasts. You can get a choice of bread which is very high-quality, and add either avocado spread or a nut butter spread. I went yesterday on a very hot day and the avocados were not ripe enough, so I chose a cashew butter toast. There are many toppings to choose from like granola's, nuts, seeds, chia pudding, fresh fruit, and even natural sweeteners. I got some berries, fresh and toasted coconut and date syrup drizzled on top. It is such a satisfying snack with a bit of protein and other healthy ingredients that I did not feel guilty about eating I don't know if it was the bread I chose, but the size was a little smaller than what I remember. However, it hit the spot until my next meal. The shop is extremely clean and Service was very pleasant and friendly.
