Quickly Elm

I've been coming to this place for years, and it never disappoints. With over 20 years of history, this little tea and snack shop is truly a hidden gem. The milk tea is always rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced — you can tell they use quality ingredients. Their snacks are delicious and comforting, just like home-cooked food. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is cozy and relaxed. It’s not just a place to grab a drink — it’s a part of the community. Highly recommend to anyone looking for authentic flavors and great service!

Lychee and jelly drink was refreshing! The fried chicken was also good.

Nice quick serve bubble tea place! Place accepts credit cards but the minimum purchase is $10. They have simple snacks too. The place is on the ground floor and is wheelchair friendly.

I’ll be real honest with y’all. This place is far from my perfect radar or description. It sits in a random corner of what I like to call the “Chinatown of Elmhurst” near queens center mall. They have 2 random ads posted on the glass panel of the side to the entrance. You walk in and see 2-3 tables with seats not much for dining in. The menu is labeled English subbed with Chinese or Korean handwriting I can’t really tell. The sizes for the cups are only medium and large with large being barely bigger but more than a dollar on the price. There are food options to eat here but more so just appetizers and they cost a bit much given the portions. I gave this place a 2 star rating just for the flavor alone as in they had a bunch but I went with passion fruit and their signature lychee with jelly which by the way was as bland as sugar water. No strong flavor and the jelly was kind of rough instead of smooth to eat. Don’t take my word for it tho if you really want to try it for yourself go right ahead. Come with cash because the sales tax on the card machine is just plain insane.

There is nothing house special about their wax gourd drink. when I received my drink, all of the ice had already melted, even though I didn’t ask for an ice modification. After taking a sip one step out of the store, I immediately circled back and asked if she could possibly make my new drink because she said usually the drink does taste like water. weird. After she declined, making me a new drink, I just asked if she could just put more syrup in my cup because there’s no reason I should pay over six dollars for a cup of Sweetened water. I am familiar with how gourd should taste like and it’s just kind of sad how downhill this location has gone.
