Halfsies Empanadas & Snack Shack - Azusa, California

I’m so glad to see Halfsies finally open!! What a wonderful and fun addition to the neighborhood and it’s really sweet to see them refresh the old drive through dairy! The staff was so kind and courteous and they talked about their excitement to bring fun and joy to the community.

The food, drink, and dessert options were fun and creative. I’m excited to see them expand their offerings over the coming months as they get more established.

It was also so fun to see families visit. While I was there a father and daughter rode up on their bikes and were able to enjoy a treat together. Kids are definitely going to LOVE this place.

Go give Halfsies a try!!!

I came by for their soft launch yesterday and it’s looking so good! Their staff are super nice and helpful even with the rush of people coming through. Love that they have both walk-in and drive-through service too. I got their turkey sandwich with chipotle mayo and a cereal milk latte. Both were delicious and unique! Their menu is still in progress but they’ve got a great start with coffee, soda floats, pastries, and a huge wall of snacks. Looking forward to the grand opening when they’re 100% ready to go! It’s going to be a fun place for afterschool snacks and morning coffee runs.

Halfsies Empanada Bodega is a hidden gem with so much potential! They recently changed ownership, and while the menu currently has a few options, every choice is top-notch. The beef empanada is my favorite so far—perfectly seasoned, tender, and just melts in your mouth. Their chimichurri sauce is also amazing, adding a tangy, herbaceous kick that takes each bite to the next level. The staff is friendly and passionate about the food, which makes you feel right at home. I’m excited to see how this place grows, and I’ll definitely be back to try whatever they come up with next. Halfsies is already on its way to becoming a local favorite!

I got the beef, chicken, and guava empanada combo with a guava Jarrito and freshly made horchata. Don’t miss out on the chimichurri sauce (you’ll definitely want extra!).

Awesome spot that I went to while they were leading relief efforts in the area for the Eaton fire. I haven't had their food, but I've shared their company and I can say for certain that these are good people who care about their community. With that much love their food certainly bangs. Go show them some love!

So excited to see this place finally come to life. Such a cute implementation and use for this classic corner property. Initially a more limited set of options for the soft open, but don’t let that deter you from coming to check this spot out. Bring the whole fam, grab a snack and some coffee, and be sure to pickup some merch. Of course, the staff is so awesome and kind! Will be sure to come back to check out the full menu.

So excited to see Halfies open for their soft launch! The vibe is nostalgic perfection, with vibrant colors and adorable illustrations of their mascot. Deep selection of snacks, plus full coffee bar with hot food items and pastries. Best of all - the staff is super warm and welcoming. Already can’t wait to go back!

Erik and Carla have created something truly special with their business in Azusa. The empanadas are absolutely delicious, and their healthy snacks are perfect for a quick, wholesome bite.

What makes this place stand out is their mission to uplift the community. From planting fruiting trees to planning educational workshops, music events, and farmers markets, they’re transforming the space into a hub of connection and growth.

Highly recommend stopping by for great food and supporting this amazing vision!
