    The image shows the cash register area of Half and Half Tea Express, including two payment screens, a hand sanitizer, and containers with toppings labeled 'Super' and 'Regular.' The counter surface is decorated with small, multicolored tiles. Behind the counter, there are kitchen cabinets, a sink, and various kitchen items, with a yellow wall and decorative items such as cups and artwork. The setup indicates a beverage shop environment with a focus on tea and bubble drinks.

    Half & half is my easy answer for if anyone wants to get boba in Pasadena. They have free parking, seating, and such a wide menu. They don't allow outside food & drink but they do have a considerable amount of savory bites to compensate. The seating is casual, they don't do tables or outlets for people to take up and study so the environment stays social. There's a little bit of outdoor seating as well. The menu is so wide and the signage throughout the store is very clear about their most popular flavors, pricing, and how to ask for modifications. Their service is fast too. They have a handful of mini claw machines to keep the atmosphere interesting too.

    I love half and half. I so wish I could give it 5 stars. The only downside to them is their inconsistency. I order the exact same thing every time. Some days it hits, other days I question my choices. Every time I've been here is been empty makes me really sad. This is a staple location in SGV. I remember the old days where it was so packed we would leave. On this occasion my drinks were so good. I finished every last drop. The drinks come out quickly. The store is always clean. The servers are always nice. What's not to love?

    Regular boba milk tea - A person is holding a plastic cup of boba milk tea with caramel syrup, featuring a logo and text for Half & Half Tea Express. The drink has a creamy appearance with caramel streaks, and the person is wearing a red sleeve. The background shows parked cars in a parking lot, indicating an outdoor setting.

    Quality drink, but 75% sweetness was too much for me. Next time, I'd opt for 25% sweetness, especially if ordering boba, as the sweet brown syrup of the boba adds a lot of extra sweetness.

    I would have thought this was considered San Marino but that's fine. What's not to like! Half and half is always reliable and a GREAT value. Their supersize version is only $7 bucks when many places are half the size for the same price. I love just about everything I get there but this time I got the milk tea. The caffeine is strong (I don't drink any caffeine usually) so this was perfect for like 3 servings haha. I normally get one of the fruit teas. Boba is always on point too.

    Not a boba fan but I love a good passion fruit tea drink. Ordered 2 drinks: passion fruit tea with aloe jelly with 25% sweetened and iced milk with boba. Got our drinks in 5 minutes. I can only speak on the passion fruit, but it was refreshing and lightly floral and sweet and there was a generous amount of aloe jelly added.

    The kumquat green tea has an usual taste, I'm not sure how to describe it. But I thought it was refreshing. The cashier was very helpful. He answered my questions and gave recommendations. He was very patient when I asked abt multiple drinks. He also gave me military discount when I asked. Overall, I enjoyed it and I will come back to try something new!

    I think the drinks aren't as good as t when they first opened... I got 25%sugar and I felt like the boba wasn't as soft as it could have been.. but I love that they have claw machines while you wait but flavor wise I don't think it's as good as it used to be and the ice melts so quickly so my drink wasn't cold

    You can't see anything that is behind the counter. They have this big wooden slab across the entire would-be countertop space. On the wooden divider wall, are signs of rules, specials, ect. Rules: no pictures, which I thought was weird but okay. They charge a credit card fee of 3.5%, so we used cash both times we came here. The first time, I got a brown sugar tea and the second time, I got a regular milk tea. They both tasted the same! They were very dark in color and it just tasted strong. I want it more MILKY. I just wasn't impressed.

    After a Big Lunch, decided to stop by here for Tea. Ordered Passion Fruit/Mango Green Tea. No Mango Flavor, just a hint of Passion Fruit

    #94, Iced milk with caramel, pudding and honey boba always hits the spot. boba was chewy and pudding was solid. Service was quick and friendly They currently have a summer special going on, which is a free size upgrade. Good place to chill and catch up with friends, as seats were available inside and outside the store.

    Passion fruit yogurt slush

    This is hands down one of my fav Boba spots. It was THE spot when I was growing up and the quality has not changed. They have sooo many types of drinks like cold/hot tea, slushes, iced fruity drinks and they even have brick toast on their menu. The boba is super fresh and you can tell they don't let it sit too long or let it get hard.I ordered the passion fruit yogurt slush and it was delightful. Probably not for you if you don't have a sweet tooth tho! The sizes are also so big and you for sure get your moneys worth :)

    See all

    I have a punch card for the now closed San Gabriel location. Will the Pasadena store honor the stamps?

    Yes! As long as the card is not expired.
