Half & Half Tea Express 伴伴堂 - Rowland Heights, CA

Quickie post on a different kind of boba place. It's called Half & Half Tea House. They use brown sugar instead of white sugar in their drinks. They also include different Asian flavored add-ins in addition to regular boba and their drink cups are a wider shape.

Boba, Grass Jelly, Pudding (Flan)
Pictured are three different types of drinks. Starting from bottom left to right....regular boba, boba with grass jelly, and boba with pudding. Pudding is like flan, but Asians call it pudding. Not to be confused with Jell-o pudding. To drink one alone is like having a very large meal as it's very milky and filling. Two people sharing one drink is probably perfect. One regular size is just too big. I do like the brown sugar...I can taste it and like it!

Line out the door
But remember...don't get the large as it's only a bit bigger than the regular. (There are lots of demos on Youtube about this.) The line can also get crazy. This picture is only of the outside...but it's about double the length of this inside. This was from a while ago...not sure if the lines are any shorter nowadays. Standing in line for so long for just a drink may not really be worth it to some people. I'm glad I've tried it and now I know if the lines are short, I'll be there.
