Half & Half Good Old Time Cafe@San Gabriel ★

Cozy Authentic Taiwanese Cafe. Fast food restaurant with good pricing. Affordable Boba. $6.58 for Minced Pork Rice is a good deal, but you may want to order some sides. Chicken Nuggets (Popcorn Chicken) were delicious. Communal condiments in the back. Boba Milk Tea is usually on the sweet side, so I recommend requesting 50% sweetness instead. Seating is not that comfortable, but the cafés in Taiwan are like that. Mark on their menu to order. Pay with cash or 3.5% fee with credit card. Same plaza and Katsu Sando. Free very limited parking in lot or street parking.

Minced Pork Pickle Rice $6.58

Chicken Nuggets $9.98

Milk w/ Honey Boba $4.88, Osmanthus Black Tea w/ Grass Jelly $4.38

Satay Udon Soup $12.08
