Since this drink stop is in the same area, I decided to grab some sweet "dranks" for the road! It's not as busy as it should for the weekend and this place usually brings in crowds, but it's like slow. We got our dranks in good times and left satisfied. Overall, experience is good. read more

Half and half is pretty well known in the 626 area which is why I decided to try it. Looking at the menu, there were way too many choices so I went for one of the top drinks. There also weren't any prices on the menu so I didnt know how much until I paid, which turned out to be around $7. The drink itself is decent, but it's nothing special since I can get the same drink somewhere else with a better quality. So unfortunately it won't be a boba place that I frequent. read more

Really cute spot that we tried in Rowland Heights. There drinks were ok. The Nutella toast was ok. It wasn't anything special. I just like the ambience. It had an old fashion feel. Probably try something different next time. The staff were nice. The drinks came out pretty quickly. But if you ordered a snack it took awhile. read more

It's an express so there's nowhere to sit indoors. The menu is extensive but has no prices on it until you check out. Currently they have a weekday deal for a free upgrade to the Super size from 25oz to 33 oz. I tried their almond milk black tea which is made with a syrup. Maybe it was the combination with grass jelly and honey boba toppings that made it not as appetizing. The Honey Boba was ok in texture...not the softest Id like.

I Normally stop here after or before my costco run. This time I took one to go for my wife. Unfortunately they gave me the wrong order, or it was a new employee. I called after my wife tasted it, I spoke to Samantha, she said drive 20 minutes back and I'll give a new one . This one be a 40 min total drive, I requested a replacement on my next Costco run as many establishments would agree and comply with a reasonable request. But Samantha said that is not their policy. I am now forced to throw this one away and see 7 dollars go down the drain. Since they don't value their customers. I will not purchase nothing from this establishment in the future. read more

Most milk tea selections I've seen. I don't really get milk tea anywhere else besides at half and half. If I come across them, I normally go. Too many to try. The wait is occasionally long but times could vary. read more

I have tried this boba chain before. I don't remember it as good as now. Maybe it's because of different locations. Although the boba was slightly undercooked (still a bit hard and less chewy), the flavor of each drink itself was delicious. Service was fast and easy. The shop is quite small, so you cannot bring a big group and chill there to chat. read more

Stumbled on this place after eating Korean bbq nearby. First noticed a steady stream of people. Not the type of people looking for hype but people who drink tea and know what's good. I ordered an unsweetened green tea and it was just oversteeped but flavor was good. The staff was friendly and I like the story behind this place and the woman who started it. I'll be back. read more

Came here Monday night for the first time after a hoop session and some tofu soup with a friend. I don't know why I'm making a review 2 days later, I guess I'm just craving boba again... Right off the bat, I really liked the vibe of the store. It is on the smaller side and doesn't have much seating, but I love the vintage wooden theme they have going on. I will admit I spent almost 10 minutes looking at the menu to decide what to order... there were like 167 items on the menu so I started to get choice overload but I finally decided on the almond green milk tea with boba, which was around $7. The service was really fast and the tea tasted exactly like a fusion of almond and green tea. It wasn't life changing or anything but it left me satisfied. I don't know what it is, but I'm a huge fan of the cup... I swear the design makes it taste better. Call me weird but I would come back just to drink out of the cup again... ok I'll stop I would recommend this place to others just because I find myself craving it again two days later. I will probably end up coming back here with my girlfriend because I went without her and now she's craving it too read more

Been years since I've visited a Half & Half, and it's no longer a popping place (at least not when I was there at 5pm on a Saturday). The good: no line and my drink came out literally within a minute after the order was placed! The portion was HUGE (both the container and the amount of honey boba that came with the honey milk green tea). Plenty of parking in the back is also a plus! The meh: the tea doesn't taste as good and strong compared to other newcomers such as Orobae in Irvine. Probably wouldn't go out of my way for Half & Half but a decent 3.5 star experience. read more

Excellent grapefruit green tea with just the right flavor balance of grapefruit and green tea. You can really taste the good quality green tea with a refreshing citrusy flavor. I ordered with no sugar and less ice and added aloe vera. The aloe vera has soft juicy texture with a subtle sweetness. Their small/regular size is huge! But since the drink was so delicious and refreshing, I finished it in record time! read more

Terrible service. One of the staff member was rude to my kid. I don't plan on coming back.

Been wanting to try this place out for a decade!! Glad to have spotted it while I was in Rowland Heights. I got the almond MT 25% sweet and my brother got the #1 on the favorites menu. We both got a regular size and honestly that was MASSIVE. My almond mt was solid. I really liked it. I took a sip of my brother's and was suprised that it is not as sweet for a 100% sweet drink. The boba in his drink was honestly al dente so I wasn't a fan. The price was a little steep but I think it's worth it considering the regular size is larger than regular sized drinks at other boba shops. Overall, 10/10. I'll come back for this again!! read more

Half & Half Tea Express - Almond milk tea and #1 on the favorites menu - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Rowland Heights, California

Haven't been to an H&H in a long time since so much competition had popped up, used to go to this location alot but what a shame, probably won't be back. Ordered a #2 from the favorites list (milk tea with honey boba and pudding), they forgot to put the boba. I asked the guy at the pickup counter and he claims I said no boba, I told him that's not true and he checked the receipt and realized he was wrong. Another lady ripped off the lid and added boba but the new lid did not seal right because of the way I think old lid was removed. Anywho, went to drink it and the boba tasted hard, like it was a day old. So disappointed smh read more

Came here for the first time and impressions were pretty spot on. The ambiance of the place gave a nostalgia old vibe or sorts, and it was a comfort place to just pass time in. I got the peach tea with boba and takoyaki. The service was nice, as it was my first time and I didn't know that they gave a free upgrade on size if you get a topping. The cashier who helped me was friendly and gave helpful suggestions. Will definitely come again. read more

reliable boba that always hits this spot has been around for a long time, and for good reason--the boba here is consistently great. the pearls are always the perfect texture, never too hard, always soft and chewy just the way they should be. the tea flavors are solid every time, and if you're not sure what to get, i highly recommend the brown sugar milk tea. it's rich, smooth, and just the right amount of sweet. the ambience is chill but keep in mind, the space is pretty small. it's not the best for hanging out for long periods, but it works if you just want to grab your drink and go. service is straightforward--you order, you get your boba, and that's about it. nothing special, but nothing bad either. price is decent, definitely worth it for the quality. since this place has been around for so long, you know they're doing something right. if you're craving boba that's always on point, this is a solid choice! read more

It's my go-to drink and I always order this drink at the Arcadia location in the past. Just moved to the area and this location became the closest to me, however, been there twice and am so disappointed. The boba here is so hard. The kind that the middle of the boba is all hardened if you know what I am saying. I sincerely hope the owner of this shop will acknowledge the inconsistency of their boba. read more

We came here at 11:15am right when it opened (no lines and fast service). I have been to other half and half locations, love their drinks! Got the strawberry slushies (no bubbles). The small size is pretty large (fits in the car's cup holder and costs abt ~$6). That is my go to drink, very refreshing and delicious!! Their menu is pretty extensive so look online beforehand or I believe you can order via calling/online ( I heard them taking orders on the phone right when they opened). My favorite bubble tea/drinks place. Located in a shopping center. read more

I can't give a several star rating for this spot. The hours that were posted indicated that they should be open but when we came over they were closed. I'm not sure what happened but maybe it was one of those fluke kind of things. The parking lot was full even in front of the shop but there was nobody to be found inside. Hmm. . . odd. read more

Continues to be my favorite spot for boba in the area. Fast service, good quality ingredients, and sweet chewy boba. Always recommend their Iced Milk Drinks- I personally love trying different combinations of toppings, but the chocolate, egg pudding, and honey boba is one of my favorites. Tastes like I'm having chocolate milk with boba. Note: they do have an extra charge for card payments, so I usually come in with cash on hand. Take advantage of their summer special: free large upgrades! Also they have a free topping special going on- only on Mondays and Wednesdays. read more

Extremely sweet boba tea, service was lighting fast. 5 seconds passed from ordering to drinking. Small shop, fun telephone.

Drinks were decent , offered larger than most places, the size i think was 32 oz but it was mostly ice Didn't like that they don't really put the prices transparently and too much ice, decor really not appealing to me and quite dark/dim inside. read more

Monday is always a good time to get boba! This boba place offers so many choices that it takes me 3 mins to decide what I want. Finally decide on ice milk with red bean and honey boba. Today is my lucky day, they offer free super cup size upgrade. The drink tasted delicious and good amount of sweet. Will come back soon! read more

I've been to Half & Half a few times and in my opinion, it's a pretty good boba place. The price and size compliment each other, and you can create a boba drink to your liking. I ordered the Mango Green Tea with Boba and Lychee Jelly. The only con is the taste isn't as flavorful as other places, but I still think it's a decent boba place to go to. read more

I feel like the Half & Half locations are very consistent. I also only consistently really order their number one drink - the iced milk with caramel, boba, and switch between the pudding or grass jelly depending on my mood. We came here as my husband wanted Half & Half as a birthday request. I wish there was one closer to us but that would also be dangerous.. This is the closest location to where we live and it's still quite a drive, about 45 minutes away. We used to go here a lot more as we'd also come for Banana Bay down the street during the old college days, along with the other locations depending on our plans and where we were. Half & Half is the only place that makes the iced milk right. We've tried other places that offer this on their menu and it's just not the same. I think it's their caramel that makes it.. and the consistency of just how their boba is made that makes it so good. Parking at this location isn't too bad and it's fairly a quick boba stop as they get you in and out once you place your order. There's currently a promo right now to get a free size upgrade so that's nice because you'll definitely get more bang for your buck with the larger drink. Prices have definitely increased, but where hasn't it increased... Their cups are so big though but I do like that the large one is shaped taller and skinnier so it did fit in our car cup holder during the drive back home. read more

Disgruntled mom - but my husband and my two sons were sitting enjoying their drinks when the cashier told my son to stop swinging his legs. My son is only 3 years old while he can reach the stool his feet don't actually touch the floor. He was not being disruptive or destructive. We got a drink for him as well. The sit in hospitality is non existent at this location and we did not appreciate this at all! read more

Located in a plaza next to Phoenix. Lots of available parking spots This was my first time visiting this location as I was in the area. There are no tables available to sit but they do have a few chairs inside to sit while waiting for your drink orders. My go to is the Osmanthus green milk tea or rose green milk tea. It seems like the ingredients changed for the rose green milk tea as it has tasted a bit more bland the last few times I've ordered it. Could be the sweetness level but it's still refreshing to order and good for anything that isn't looking for super sweet drinks. You can upgrade to a super size for $0.88 more. I also always ask for less ice as they do pack on the ice in the cup most of the time. read more
