If you meet Geleen Abenjoa outside of Shop Halo Halo, you’ll find she’s naturally shy and introverted. That part of her personality carries into her work at the bakery—but for her customers, she steps outside her comfort zone with genuine warmth and care.

As Shop Halo Halo began to grow, Geleen found herself in the spotlight, taking on interviews and gaining media attention she never expected. While she appreciates the recognition, she’s happiest when her baked goods speak for themselves.

Geleen Abenjoa, owner of Shop Halo Halo, always dreamed of having a physical space to call her own. During her search, she met Daphne Peters, owner of Daphne’s Botanical, and the two quickly hit it off. In 2023, they opened a shared brick-and-mortar location in Southeast Portland. While their collaboration may have seemed unexpected to others, it held a deeper meaning for both Geleen and Daphne.

Geleen Abanjoa, owner of Shop Halo Halo, joins me for this week’s Keoni Chats. Originally on track for a nursing career, Geleen made a bold pivot and moved to Oregon to pursue her passion for baking. We talk about the life adjustments that came with that decision and the support she received from family across state lines. We also talked about her strategy as a self-taught baker and her enjoyment of experimenting with family recipes.

Shop Halo Halo began as a festival vendor and eventually blossomed into a brick-and-mortar shop thanks to an unexpected partnership with a plant nursery owner. Together the two businesses created a one-of-a-kind experience for visitors.

Tune in to hear Geleen’s story of risk, resilience, and sweet success.
