Haven't been to Half & Half in a VERY long time. Recently went back and tried a few drinks. Overall, the drinks are still decent. Boba is a bit hard though on my last (most recent) visit. Some things have changed compared to when it was at its peak. There's a small fee for credit card use and bags are not free (available with a small charge). No more stamp card. They did have free upgrade to large size on weekdays, but just found out even that has changed. Only Wednesdays are free size upgrade for walk-ins. No free upgrade for phone orders. Thai Tea Milk Tea - 4/5 Longan Green Tea - 4/5 Ice Milk w/ Caramel, Coffee Jelly & Boba - 4/5

Upgraded to the largest size which costs more $$$ but didn't look like they gave more boba. Boba amount was very little compared to what you get at other places. The drinks tasted mediocre. Honestly there's so many better options out there that don't skimp on cheap toppings and are around the same price point. I see no reason to come back. Also they charge extra if you use card. I'll just go to a different boba store that doesn't penalize me for not carrying cash.

Lavender Milk Tea (2/5): Did not enjoy my drink, maybe it was my fault for getting less sweet. I thought the lavender and milk did not blend well together. It also tasted a bit tarty. I recommend their other drinks.

Consistently tasty boba drinks! :)They have a super wide menu and almost everything on it is delicious. I highly recommend the Iced Milk Drink w/ Pudding and Honey Boba which is their most popular drink! Any of the flavored teas or top 10 drinks are also a great choice.If you plan on getting toppings, I recommend sticking with the regular size drink. The amount of topping they give you isn't quite proportional to the size of the super. We didn't have to wait too long for our drinks and the shop added some fun claw machines. The interior is quite small and there aren't really any tables to sit at.Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area!

Please consider using ice cubes. Every sip I take, a bunch of crushed ice also gets sucked up. I don't like it, makes my drink taste diluted and I have cold sensitivity. My tooth hurts. Boba was also hard. I just got regular milk tea with boba and it costed $6.56. Cash only. I think that's too expensive for boba.

black sesame milk tea extra sweet soooooooo good. 10/10 half n half has always been my fav boba shop. steven helped me at the register and was very helpful/fast making my drink. they have new little claw machines at the front now!
This is one of the OG boba spots I remember fondly and still continue to visit. Half & Half is a classic, no frills kind of place, and you can't go wrong ordering a basic milk tea with honey boba. My go to drink lately has been black milk tea with grass jelly. They make it just right with the tea being nice and strong with no powdery taste and the grass jelly is silky smooth. It just melts in my mouth! Some tips: - Call ahead to place your order for pick up to avoid long waits. - There is a surcharge/fee to pay with card. There is parking in the back (upper and underground lots available) or you can try your luck and park on the street right in front.

Love this place! Automatic upgrade to their huge cup on the weekdays and it's super affordable for the amount that you get. Conveniently located so I can get groceries at he same time and sometimes if it's busy service is slow because there's only one worker but they're always super nice.

Tasty drinks and boba. Service is nice and lots of parking . Lame credit card fees; you're running a boba shop in 2024.

Ordered a milk tea with taro pudding and honey boba. The tea was so watery and the honey boba was hard. To make things worse, the taro pudding tasted PLASTICY and like chemicals. Would not recommend tbh. Only redeeming factors were the barista was happy to add some more sugar into my drink after it wasn't sweet enough, and that there was a free weekday upgrade to the large size.

My oh my have you fallen. Remembering back in the days when your boba was all the rage. Lines stretched out and down the parking lot. With wait times of up to an hour for a tasty treat of your delicious drinks. Welp, times have changed. More than a decade later, revisiting this original location that a good friend of mine introduced me to so long ago, I'm just disappointed. The quality just isn't there. The service, well that never was there. And the ambiance? Well, you're resorting to cliche claw machines to supplement income lost from customers that have moved on..? In what appears to be my final visit. Old honey boba that's hard... if you can't serve fresh honey boba, time to move on. Oh, credit card charge will result in a 3.5% charge tacked on to your bill.
