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.

I order a matcha smoothie which is so tasty. I believe you should ask for extra matcha and around 80% sugar drink. This will be the best recipe. Regular sugar will be abit sweet for me

Love the atmosphere and the Boba in Half and Half ❤️ Shopkeepers are friendly and they are willing to reconfirm unclear orders with customer during the process of making it. Love their super cup which is massive! Would always come back for a different cup of drink whenever I have the opportunity.

I’m vegan, don’t like a lot of sugar and don’t drink caffeine. I’ve mostly given up on boba in my life, and somehow this place had something for me! The three guys behind the counter all explained different ingredients to me and were super nice and patient. I ended up with a 1/4 sweet ginger boba tea with soy milk and it’s bomb. Happily surprised!!! Thanks guys!

Pro: good drinks - ordered the Taro and Rose Black tea with Boba and Jelly Taro was fresh. They offer soy milk Drinks get a 5/5 - reason for 2 stars - see below: Cons: 0.58 cents extra for all drinks to be made Hot ????? Never ever heard of this and I have had boba tea in several places. This is a rip off and as customers we would prefer if this was not the case to return. 0.58 cents for soy milk and 0.58 cents for toppings. - these are fine still on the higher side. Not sure I can return or suggest this places due to the hot drink charge:)
