About Half a While

Half a While is an unassuming spot to visit for Asian pastries or boba drinks, with plentiful seating and free WiFi. The service is friendly and the drinks are solid. It is a good spot for a quick boba fix or for getting some work done. The owners are very kind and welcoming, and the food is delicious. The boba tea is delicious and the boba is cooked perfectly. A free cake had the best texture served on the cutest plate. A coconut cream bun and a pork floss bun are very filling. The boba is customizable; you can pick the sugar level, ice, and toppings as you like. The atmosphere is calming and pleasant for a lunch, snack, dessert or drink with calm jazz music playing in the background. There is a changing table in the bathroom and a public garage available in the back of the store with access through the back. Lunch included the new item Thai Basil Rice (pork and beef). The rice was just the right texture and the pork & beef was very flavorful, with just the right amount of kick in spiciness. Hong Kong style bakery items include hot dog bun, milk cloud bun, ham & egg bun. There are also croissant sandwiches that look good. The Earl Gray Strawberry Cloud cake is really good - a lot of flavor without being too sweet. There are multiple fresh pastries, drink options, customization settings (sugar, ice, toppings), and seating options.

The owners are very kind and welcoming, and the food is delicious! I got a coconut cream bun and a pork floss bun, which were very filling. I like how customizable the boba was; you can pick the sugar level, ice, and toppings as you like. I will definitely come again to try more pastries and enjoy the calming atmosphere 😊
Very cute local cafe!!
Pleasant atmosphere to enjoy a lunch, snack, dessert or drink with calm jazz music playing in the background. They have a changing table in the bathroom which is a plus in my book). Public Garage Available in the back of the store and there is access through the back, which is nice. We had lunch and tried their new item/ Thai Basil Rice (pork and beef). Really enjoyed it. Rice was just the right texture and the pork & beef was very flavorful, with just the right amount of kick...read full review
