Halfsies will soon become La Bodega... A breath of fresh air for the city of Azusa. They're going to have wellness classes, and they have a neat little lounge area inside to relax and read some books, or play some board/card games with friends. They make everything to order from scratch using farm fresh fruits and veggies! They have a community garden out front, so if you take something, leave something. The new owners are amazing and really care about the environment and providing sustainable healthy fresh foods. I tried the guanabana and blood orange agua fresca, and it was as the best I've ever had, so light and freshing without all the fake sugar I'm used to from other places. I also tried the chicken and beef empanadas and they came with this amazing sauce, and almost melted in my mouth. Def go check them out. They're going to be a great addition for the community! Thanks guys! read more

I was a huge Mantra Coffee fan. Went by tonight and it was pretty quiet but the service was on point. We were given the run down of our options and the variety of flavors, floats, snacks, and coffees. They have the coffee offerings of Mantra (which I miss terribly) and breakfast burrito. They've added some other snacks too like nachos. My wife went with the Mandarin soda float and I got a cereal milk milkshake. It was so good. They make their whip cream fresh which is a huge plus to me. I love the selection of snacks is awesome. Some international snacks that I usually see in the Asian markets. They also have some cute merch that gives retro vibes including T shirts, hats, and stickers. Consider supporting this local small business when you're craving some snacks or something sweet. read more

Cute spot to stop by for a quick snack. Loved the great, friendly customer service. We were asking a lot of questions about the flavored drinks & they happily answered. We just ordered iced flavored coffee. We ordered the Cocoa Puffs & Cinnamon Toast Crunch iced coffee. Flavors were unique & interesting. I'd like to try as a latte next time. Has Drive thru. :) read more

Very bad experience today with the food! Not sure what happened in the past 30 days. I went for the first time in October and tried the chicken and beef empanadas and they were great! Juicy, tasty, and just right. Fast-forward to today, went back with my wife and kid, and they were truly disappointing! We got 3 empanadas, 1 beef and 2 chicken. All 3 were extremely dry and burnt... For 6 bucks a pop, you'd expect a much higher and consistent quality... Can't not recommend it like this! read more

Quaint, friendly and delicious space, with a vibe from the 50's. Known for its Empanadas and speciality drinks. My husband loved the coffee so much he bought some beans to bring home. I love all the herbal drinks I've tried so far. There are vegan, vegetarian and meat options, sometimes gluten free too. I've tried about 5 different stuffings. There chimmichurri sauce is incredibly delicious too. Also I love there herbal drinks and cupcakes are delicious read more

My husband bought their empenada today just to try. I was surprise with: 1. It's pricey $6 for one empenada. 2. The skin was thick and chewy. I just work a cross the street and my husband experienced the same thing. I'm sorry I felt ripped off today. read more

Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 4/5 Drinks: 4.5/5 A snack shop with beautifully decorated interior that gave me nostalgic feeling of a snack shop that I went as a kid. This neighborhood gem located near 210 freeway. I went there and got the Affogato, I could tell you that the coffee was amazing. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures but they have drive through so you don't even have to get out of your vehicle, which is very convenient. The staff was extremely hospitable and that is more than enough. Since the place was recently open, there wasn't much snack when I went there. I'm hopeful that the snack they have in the store will grow in the future. For the mean time, the coffee is too die for! I'm definitely going back! read more

Very welcoming place. While I can't speak to the food, i can say with confidence the coffee is wonderful. They got a new supplier a couple weeks back that completely changed their coffee game for the better. read more

Gave it another try so much better they improved there item list and quality prices are affordable and sitting area so chill and cute

Ordered a dozen and half empanadas and they were chefs kiss! From the eggplant, spinach, corn, beef, chicken and even Nutella.. they have so many yummy options! These empanadas were a hit at my event with a wide range of kids and adults enjoying them! My favorite is the beef! And the Nutella à la mode!! & I must add, the chimichurri sauce is insanely delicious. Definitely will be back. read more

Wow! Wow! Wow! We stopped to grab a bite and were so pleasantly surprised. Chef Eric and his wife creates the most delicious flavors (try the jackfruit one!). Farm to table, a cool garden (can't wait to see it grow!), and educating the local kids on healthy eating and gardening skills. This is a business to support! read more

Wow, this place must be under new management because they didn't used to have empanadas. They were FIRE!!! And the chimichurri was next level. Plus they have Açai lemonade and all type of other Agua Frescas. I was thoroughly impressed. It's like a drive-through, meets a bodega meets a restaurant.. definitely a vibe read more

These empanadas were made with love. The smell of the dough driving home..man oh man, thank god I live close by or I would've made a mess eating these while driving. The beef empanadas were so good with the chimichurri sauce and the spinach and cheese was awesome with some marinara sauce I had from a previous spaghetti I made. Definitely recommend! Oh, and the place is decorated really nice and friendly staff, as well. read more

So delicious and such a friendly staff! I had the chicken empanada as well as the jalapeño and cheese. I forgot to grab a Guava & Cheese to go though, so happy to have more to go back to! I'll be back! read more

It was my first time here since they opened, and I'm not sure why I delayed so much. First off, it's such a cute and beautiful place stocked up with goods in a pantry you can get in a wink. Given, today they were out of many things as a result of their generous efforts to assist families who were dealing with hardships as a result of the palisades fire, so to find out that this was the reason they didn't have their usual arsenal of goods was not only commendable in my opinion, but was a reflection of the generous character of the owner. He recommended their signature mushroom drink with honey, which was absolutely delicious. The banana bread? I'll be coming back for the immediately. I strongly suggest coming to this place, if you're looking for great coffee at an excellent price point, curated by an owner who clearly has a passion in his non profit, his work and his business. read more

Well, the service was good. I ordered the turkey empanada and I did not like it at all. I even got a little queasy from it. So I am truly giving that a thumbs down for me and I don't think the empanada dough was cooked all the way through neither it was definitely shaped well, but I don't think it was cooked well that part right there !! I wish that I had took a picture of it because that was our first time going. I took it home and that's when I made my decision on how the food was. because we live right down the street from this new place that they open and I thought that we would try it and see what they were working with and that's what I ordered was that and when I got home, I trust and believe I got queasy I just don't think it was cooked long enough just my opinion. read more

Passed by and we decided to give it a try! The place is super cute and clean. Very photogenic indeed. I love their mission and they are very ambitious to add some healthy options within the area, unfortunately they are missing the mark. We purchased about a dozen empanadas to try them out. I was immediately taken back by the price for half a dozen it was $30. considering their size it will not make a meal, each person will need about 2-3 which can equal to $18 per person. Once we got home we tried them, the chicken was the best but all were somewhat dry. I think we had a turkey one which had thick dough slightly undercooked. they are a new business and we hope with the reviews and other feedback they can make some adjustments. I will try them out again in the future but just to order 1-2 at a time. I would definitely recommend reevaluating their pricing and quality of dough. read more

Love having this around the corner. Great drinks, pastries, and snacks, and super friendly staff. Will definitely be back!

Cute location. We all waited for this to open but so so disappointed I just dont understand this being a drive through coffee house yes they don't open until 1pm? Plus you have to place your order online THEN pick up the coffee in the drive through. Whats the point? We had a melon strawberry float and SO CALLED Nachos. WAYYYY overpriced. $7 ??? Just like the other Yelpers said 7/11 would be better. 7/11 and Movie theaters offer more cheese. I wish I took a pic. I was so mad I gave mine to a coworker. I could have bought the ingredients and made 10 for the price of one. This place must do better. I won't go back until they get it together. read more

A little disappointing. The $7 nachos are overpriced. 7/11 is way better bang for you buck. I ordered the Reese's puff iced coffee and not very good either. We wanted to love it. But probably won't be back for a bit. I do want to try other items but maybe after the soft opening. read more

Tried this place under new ownership and was blown away by the different options and delicious empanadas. The workers are amazing. Love the healthier options and bodega feel they are transitioning too. Prices are a tad high however in this economy it's understandable and other local empanada joints are just as pricey so it's nothing surprising. Hope they keep up the good food and service. Can't wait to visit again! read more
