I have been to this place a few times and i like it, it's a great spot to grab boba tea, their prices are great and the drinks are pretty good, i have tried a few and so far i have not been disappointed. They have multiple drinks to choose from. The decoration is nice maybe if you need to do remote work or study. The service so far has been pretty good. I will definitely go back to try something new. read more

Love the porkchop bowl. Only been to the chapel hill one however I'm sure this one is equally amazing!

I used to own a boba shop and visited many Quicklys. This Quickly is slightly different in that they serve specialty teas. I also noticed that there was always someone visiting. The drink and food prices are also very reasonable. The staff are very nice and helpful. The cafe is inviting. A great place to hang out. They have a unique drink menu as well. Happy boba! This is my rating system to help you gauge my ratings Anything under three stars is not worth mentioning. Meh. 3 Stars - Good overall. Some aspects are above the notch: food, service, and or ambiance. Worthy of a visit. 4 Stars - Exceptional, short of perfect. 5 Stars - Perfect in all aspects.

10 out of 5 stars for the popcorn chicken. Honestly may be one of my fave things in Durham. I would eat it every other day if my cholesterol and waistline could support it. SO GOOD. So juicy. So crispy. So tender. So flavorful. It's my go to Sabbath treat. The Taro bubble tea is also solid. Downside - wait is typically pretty long. But mostly cause they are busy and make the popcorn chicken fresh. read more

Solid boba spot that's affordable & tasty! I've tried the Strawberry and Okinawa (Brown Sugar) milk teas. Service is quick and ambiance is cute, lots of board games to play while hanging out and some photo ops. If I go again, will definitely get the popcorn chicken as well after seeing all the rave reviews on here. 7.5/10 would recommend! read more

Loved every passionfruit, Thai, and vanilla milk tea I got! So many options for drinks, toppings, and snacks!! Friendly, awesome service and super chill and welcoming vibe. Tried the popcorn chicken and gyoza - they make them fresh when you order - great snacks! You won't be disappointed! read more

Probably one of the cheapest and best quality Boba teas I've had in Durham!! They are setting high standards for what Boba tea should be. Now they have more than Boba tea, but I tried the Ying Yang (coffee + milk tea) with brown sugar syrup, and it was quite literally the best drink I've ever had. And on top of that, the service was quick and friendly so I'll definitely be back!! read more

We met a friend here during our travels in Durham. It's a great spot for a good bubble tea, snack, or tea break. Great seating and nice decor. Very friendly staff. read more

The online ordering system is easy to use, and pick up is simple. However, I still have a major gripe about the scarce amount of boba put in the tea. This time I paid for extra boba, but there's barely any; it barely reaches the amount in a normal boba milk tea elsewhere. But hey, they have an advantage because there's no other nearby boba shop. read more

Quickly Tea House - this is a large jasmine milk tea with EXTRA honey boba added. :( not a lot of boba even after I paid for extra. - Bubble Tea Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

I would like to update my prior review. I returned to this location to quench my bubble tea craving. I'm pretty much predictable in terms of my order. I get the medium size black milk tea with lychee gel and boba with 30% sugar and less ice for a little more than $4. All in all, their tea is tasty but not mind-blowing. The boba were a bit hard. That would be my point of critique. If the thought of driving outside of Durham is too difficult, you're hangry for bubble tea, and you're looking for a place to study, this place is for you! However, if you are a bubble tea connoisseur, then this may be average from your perspective. I gave it 4 stars instead of 3 because the service is prompt and cashier seemed friendly. In addition, they do not accept cash only card! 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 Don't blame me if your sisters PICK ME Don't blame me if your girlfriends LICK ME Not my fault if your boyfriends want to D**K ME Anyway, wanna go for Boba at QUICKLY? WHAT 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. I love this boba shop, especially because they're open late at night, and have really lovely owners and employees. Right up until midnight, they'll serve you some Boba, in fact. Super cute people and a great space to hang out when everything else is closed in the way of Boba. The only problem is, much like every other Quickly, location the drinks are just not very good. I don't know how I'm going to find something I really like because almost everything I've had from these chains leaves a lot to be desired. But due to the late night hours, the very friendly people, and the great decor, I'm happy to give this shop 5 stars. read more

I love boba and have been frequenting Quickly Tea House since I moved to Durham! They have a wide variety of teas and snacks and are reasonably priced. I went out of my comfort zone once and tried a flavored boba that tasted like cough syrup. Since then I stick to Taro Milk Tea and I'm always pleased! Service is usually quick and efficient. Today I got Taro Milk Tea and sweet potato fries! Fries are perfect and not too greasy. Parking is very limited, there is a small lot to the right of the store, but I've never had trouble getting a spot. The ambiance is a little dark and you currently can't sit inside for Covid reasons so it's to-go only. read more

Durham doesn't have that many boba places compared to chapel hill. This is my to go place if I want boba and is in Durham. I think the drinks here are okay. Probably Bc I am not that addicted to boba. I do love the popcorn chicken from here esp they make it fresh and hot. Currently no dine in services available. Limited seatings outside. Location has always been wacky but it's Durham I guess lol. Parking is limited but I haven't had trouble finding spots. Also why is the sanitation score so low only 88? read more

It's nice to see another "Quickly" in the triangle! In the past, I had to drive all the way to Morrisville to get my monthly boba fix. This is literally in my backyard. It's a great addition to the 9th street radius when it comes to food and drinks. There's enough parking to accommodate customers as well as space within the shop. It's quite spacious! The atmosphere is clean and fun. This will be a hot spot once the summer comes around! I stopped in for a snow boba after work. The customer service was fantastic! Love the enthusiasm! I got a snow pear drink. It was good for the most part. I think I was too full at this point from dinner to binge drink. Welcome to the neighborhood! read more

What's the best way to start off the new year? With a buttload of boba tea! I ordered 12 teas for me and my colleagues at Duke University, which of course they chose their own flavors *not pictured as it was all boxed up and quickly delivered, pun intended* Yin and Yang on point at 75% sugar and added grass jelly. The passionfruit slush at 100% sugar was great, but there were clumps of ice present, which my girlfriend said was unfortunate, but I assume it had to be from carrying out all the way back home. Bottom line: Yin and Yang is still my favorite. Everyone got their orders correct, and happy with their drinks! read more

Quickly Tea House - Panda Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

I've been here countless times and it's great. They have punch cards! Make sure to capitalize on them if you're a regular. Yes their boba is consistently great but everyone needs to try their sour plum tea. With fruit teas I always get lychee jellies- I've been laying off actual boba for a bit. But their sour plum tea is the most refreshing summer/spring/fall drink that you need to try. It's a more traditional flavor than some of the other drinks and I know it's not commonly ordered. You need to try this flavor (or their other fruit teas, which I also enjoy). read more

I love quickly. I have been coming here for over 3 years, and I am still not over how good the food and drinks are. I can tell they are short-staffed - but they are still very quick with making the food and drinks. The ambience is amazing, and so cute. 5 stars. read more

VERY IMPRESSED. I was in charge of catering 50 bobas for an event and called 4 boba places. Out of the four, Quickly was one of the only ones who responded immediately & professionally AND it turned out to be the most affordable option (gave me a 10% discount on bulk order)! I was so impressed with the ease of communicating with the shop. When we got to the shop at the scheduled pick-up time, the bobas were already sitting in a box ready to go. Heard from someone who came to the event that it's one of the best bobas in town. Great reviews on the taro! Very impressed. Great job, great service, great boba. read more

Best boba place in Durham! Amazing flavors and there are so many to try! And if you are new to boba, they have great suggestions. I also recommend their snacks! Their chicken nuggets is fantastically spiced and crunchy and delicious. And if you haven't tried their egg puff, get in their ASAP and do it! It's like little waffles, crispy on the outside, and soft and spongy and delicious on the inside. Definitely my go to place for boba, and willing to drive 20 min! read more

Quickly Tea House - a woman sitting at a counter - Bubble Tea Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

As a self-proclaimed boba fanatic, I LOVE Quickly's! For a while, most of the good boba shops were a drive away, so thank goodness Quickly's is good and close to Duke campus (a walk away from East). If you don't know what to try, their original (black) milk tea with boba is a classic! But the last time I went I got the Tiger Tea. If you like thai tea, then you should definitely give it a shot! The bubbles can make or break the tea, and fortunately they're a good level of chewiness. Also, for all my lactose-intolerant friends out there, all of their tea is lactose free! I dont think it affects the taste at all (I only recently found out none of their tea has lactose, apparently), so you can enjoy the tea without the consequences! I usually go when I'm craving popcorn chicken, and it always hits the spot! It's almost always freshly made and piping hot, and they have pepper powder if you want to add a kick! I also usually mix some sriracha and ketchup together to dip the chicken in, and it's delicious. The vibe of a boba shop is very important to me - boba shops are where my friends and I hung out during high school - which is part of why I like Quickly's so much. It's a cute, casual vibe, from the wooden/ brightly colored furniture to the corner with couches to the TV that is almost always playing Chinese pop videos. They also have some CLASSIC games (Jenga is my favorite boba shop game). The owner has also supported Duke Asian Students Association by catering and also attending some of our big community events. So, from the people to the food/ drinks to the decor, Quickly's is definitely one of my favorite boba shops around! read more

This is my preferred and most frequented bubble tea spot at the moment. Staff is very friendly and prices are great. My regular order is a classic black milk tea with 100% sweetness, light ice- in case you're intimidated or want a basic beverage. The menu includes food but I've never had any, I've heard good things. As more bubble tea spots pop up I'm sure I'll continue to visit them but I'll still think as Quickly as my go to spot read more

Quickly Tea House - Classic Milk Tea - Bubble Tea Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

Was visiting Durham for work and was pleasantly surprised to find a boba shop so nearby! I walked in and was greeted by some of the nicest staff I've ever met. The boba shops near me in California don't serve much food, but this place has pork katsu, an assortment of imported ramens, and all kinds of snacks. The shop was better than a lot of the shops back in California in terms of atmosphere. Got myself a yakisoba ramen with pork katsu. Splurged on a popcorn chicken side order. I'm a huge fan of this place. Can't wait to come back in a few months!! read more

Quickly Tea House - Bubble Tea Near Me - Durham, North Carolina

So happy to see Durham with a real boba shop! Quickly is one of the OG bubble tea chains from Taiwan so they're more like first wave boba with simple, pared down menus and classic toppings - the tapioca is standard and lacks the more molasses-y flavor that newer chains have. The tea is here is ok - not strong enough in my opinion and tastes more like a powder mix than fresh tea leaves, but the Thai tea I ordered was better here than at the Morrisville location. The condensed milk flavor really shines through though! The people working here were really, really nice and the atmosphere was so upbeat and happy that I'm definitely going to return soon. (Possibly even tomorrow and Saturday for their grand opening!) They're currently doing a soft opening with only small size drinks and a smaller menu, but their grand opening is Saturday (December 1). I absolutely love Taiwanese popcorn chicken so I'm eagerly awaiting the debut of their food menu since there's nowhere else in Durham for popcorn chicken. I also love that their hours run late! Durham's usually dead past 8pm so it'll be great to have a solid snack/boba shop to go to for late night food or an after dinner dessert. ---- I returned for their grand opening day when they were running a bogo special and their whole menu was available. Although there was a pretty large crowd and long line, Quickly lived up to its name and the line moved at a quick pace. I was finally able to get the popcorn chicken and it was really tasty and lightly fried. My only criticism is that it was a touch salty and the addition of traditional flavorings (some fried vietnamese basil and a dash of cayenne) would be much appreciated. read more

"Bubble tea and other drinks near Ninth Street in Durham" This interesting little place popped up in the building that was the home to the old Locopops on Hillsborough Road. They sell a suite of teas, "milk teas", and non-alcoholic smoothie-like drinks ("slushes" and "snows"). There were a few food items on the menu (e.g., fries, egg rolls), but we didn't try those. Parking is pretty easy along the side of the building (by a record store), but it's true there aren't a ton of spots. The interior space is bright and airy, with different kinds of seating (some with laptop space) and free wifi. They noted that the milk they use is all non-dairy (soy perhaps?), so safe for the lactose intolerant. We came around 7pm on a Saturday night, and while there were a few people around, there was no line or wait. I ordered the ginger tea with a jasmine base and added strawberry popping boba. My family got a rose milk tea (in black base with honey boba), a coconut milk tea (in black base with strawberry popping boba), and a sour plum snow. Our server was friendly and all four drinks were ready within 5 minutes, so we did not have the long wait that some other reviewers mentioned. And everyone in my group really enjoyed their drinks. The ginger tea had enough ginger that it made my throat numb slightly as I drank it. The popping boba was small and a bit "slippery", such that it was almost hard to chew because it would slip from between your teeth, but it tasted great. The size of the regular drink was decent, and they put a good amount of the boba. Overall, no complaints! Several reviewers noted the price is high. For a tea with boba, it was $3.75 plus tax-- yeah it's not cheap, but it's what I paid for the same thing when living in Berkeley, California (where bubble tea shops were everywhere). Then again, I get that Durham is generally cheaper than Berkeley, so maybe it's a bit on the high end. Overall, I'm a fan-- would happily come back. read more

I have been monitoring how things will unfold in this newly opened Quickly. I was overjoyed when I discovered it on yelp on their soft opening. I'm a fan of Quickly since I first tried it in Manila. I used to drive all the way to Morrisville for my Taro Boba Tea fix. I checked the place out during their soft opening and Taro Boba Tea did not disappoint... as usual! They didn't have popcorn chicken then, but needless to say, I was a satisfied customer. Today, I called to confirm if they have popcorn chicken first before my husband and I took the 5 minute drive to Quickly from my work. Long story short, we came, we ordered, we ate and drink, we ordered more popcorn chicken to take home for our 3 kids (who were very delighted to have popcorn chicken for dinner)... and we were all happy campers! The ambiance is good... they may need more seating areas as the town is starting to learn of their existence. I for one, just had many queries of their location after I posted my "dinner" photo from Quickly today. The customer service is WONDERFUL! Everyone was cheerful and polite from the staff to the owner/s. I love how they have Ramen and the free spring roll that came with it was a pleasant surprise! Wish list: Tea Flavored egg Calamari And Bento Box! read more

Quickly is not good Boba. If you are familiar with Boba Tea at all, you know that quickly is cheap and convenient, but it is not great quality. That being said, if you have been to quickly before, and enjoy it, you will also like this establishment. It's the same quality and standard that you can expect from any other location. One star for selling the product advertised, it *is* technically Boba. Another star for the price/service/convenience. If you're interested in good Boba, find a friend with a car and drive a little farther away. Milk Lab is a great alternative. read more

I've had generally mediocre experiences with the drinks here. There's little consistency with the preferences they offer and in the quality of the drinks themselves. For example, I usually get my drinks with half sugar and less ice, but seldom do my orders come that way :/ other times I would get the wrong drink. but they've been good about fixing my orders. The staff is overall welcoming and often fun to engage with. This is a decent environment to bring your friends if you're not picky and would like to save yourself a drive. read more

This is a great location I've been here several times and have tried a few different milk tea options. There are a lot of mixed reviews for this place and that's because the fact of the matter is there are options that people won't enjoy and some people will. It's all about your tastes and what you prefer. I personally like the ying yang milk tea with a green tea base as it is a delicious tasting coffee/tea. Anything peach or mango flavor is amazing! You can do the peach slush with mango popping stars or even just a simple mango milk tea (my go to). The staff is always super friendly, the place is spotless and looks super cool. So overall it's a cool place to chill for a few and get yourself a drink with some friends. read more

I'd give this place a 3.5, honestly. But I'm so glad a boba place has opened in Durham!! We ordered a hokkaido boba, lychee boba and the fried tofu. As for the boba itself, i was unfortunately unable to taste the standard honey/tapioca boba which I love as they had just run out of it and I didn't want to wait a half hour for it. So we had crystal boba and strawberry pops boba. The popping boba was good - about on par with other places I've had it at. The crystal boba left me craving the tapioca boba because I love the texture of normal boba and the Crystal boba was more like jelly. The fried tofu was wonderful - with their chili powder seasoning. The manager was friendly and service prompt. The space is relaxed and causal. Some tall tables if I wanted to spend some time there. They also have ramen and hello panda snacks to munch on. A good snack spot, I'd say. In all, it would be a straight up 4 stars if it was priced a bit cheaper. In any case though i enjoyed it enough to go back there soon. They have a 10 drink rewards card!! read more
