Half and Half Tea Express
3007 Huntington Dr, Pasadena, CA
Crema's Take
“Half and Half Tea Express in Pasadena has cultivated something genuinely special: a warm, family-like atmosphere where the three shopkeepers behind the counter actually listen, confirm your order details, and craft thoughtful drinks tailored to your preferences—whether that's a customized matcha smoothie or a vegan-friendly boba option with fresh ingredients like real taro. Their specialty drinks, particularly their boba selections with creative additions like jelly, earn consistent praise for quality, and the team's genuine friendliness makes every visit feel less like a transaction and more like catching up with people who genuinely care.”
What to expect
Strong matcha and tea selection, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.
