Half and Half Tea Express
1421 S Baldwin Ave, Arcadia, CA
Crema's Take
“Half and Half Tea Express in Arcadia strikes that perfect balance between nostalgia and innovation, where friendly staff move with impressive speed and the creative drink menu goes beyond typical boba offerings—think unexpected flavor combinations like their mango drink that tastes more like Chinese bayberry, or a strawberry milk base so perfectly executed it's become a local favorite. The playful crane machines scattered throughout the shop add a charming, family-friendly atmosphere that transforms a quick tea run into a little moment of joy, and regulars keep coming back because the teas here genuinely taste like tea, with a depth of flavor that makes it stand out in a neighborhood saturated with newer boba spots.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. Quick-grab spot. Family friendly.
