🎉 What a day to celebrate! 🎉
Today marks the 6th anniversary of our flagship Stella Jean’s Ice Cream location in University Heights, and we couldn’t be prouder of how far we’ve come. But that’s not all—tonight, Stella Jean’s Ice Cream and Pop Pie Co. (), part of The Sweet & Savory Collective () restaurant group, will be honored as the 2024 Small Business of the Year by the Asian Business Association at tonight’s 34th Annual Scholarship and Awards Gala! 🏆
From the very beginning with Pop Pie Co. in 2016 to the launch of Stella Jean’s Ice Cream in 2018, we’ve been driven by a passion for creating something special. Our mission has always been to bring people together through food, blending diverse flavors and cultures in every bite. 🍦🥧
This award reflects the incredible work of our team and the ongoing support of our guests and communities. We’re so grateful to each and every one of you for being part of this journey!
Here’s to the next chapter of pies, ice cream, and beyond! 🙌

🎬🍦Lights, Camera... Ice Cream! 🍦🎬

Heads up, pie & ice cream lovers! Something BIG is happening at our Pacific Beach shop next week! While we can’t spill all the beans just yet, let’s just say Hollywood is paying us a visit. 🎥✨

Our PB shop will be closed Monday 9/30 - Friday 10/4 for a very special reason (hint: our ice cream may be sharing the screen with some major stars 🤫). But don’t worry—we’ll be back in action and serving up your favorites starting Saturday, 10/5! 🎉

Stay tuned... exciting things are coming! 🍦🥧✨

3️⃣ Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread – All-new! This spiced pumpkin flavor, with cream cheese, cinnamon, and nutmeg, has swirls of pumpkin bread and roasted pepitas for that ultimate fall comfort.

4️⃣ Sweet Potato Rocky Road (V+GF) – Our vegan fall inspired twist on the classic! Sweet potato, maple syrup, cinnamon, sea salt, candied almonds, and Dandies marshmallows, all in a creamy coconut and oat milk base.

Mondays are for MANGO STICKY RICE (v+gf)! 🥭🍚😍🙌 Inspired by the beloved Thai dessert and our Head Chef as an ode to his childhood, this flavor is a delightful fusion of mango sorbet and pandan-based coconut ice cream.

Curious about pandan? Often referred to as the vanilla of Southeast Asia, our use of it beautifully captures the delicious and delicate taste of sticky rice.

This also happens to be one of our everyday flavors, and it’s available in scoops and pints at all of our locations 😋👌

Ube + Pandesal Toffee:
Our most popular flavor, hand-crafted in small batches using our signature 16% butterfat ice cream base made with Scott Bros. Dairy. We infuse it with ube, then swirl in our pandesal toffee for a sweet, buttery crunch in every bite! 👌😋💜🇵🇭
