Hello, SaWaDiKa! 🙏🏻🇹🇭 Our first fall flavor reveal: Thai Tea + Salted Cream (GF). 🧡🍂
Inspired by the Thai tea street carts you’ll find all over Thailand.
This time, we’re using ChaTraMue Official Account, the original Thai tea brand from Thailand since 1945. We steep the tea directly into our ice cream base, strain it, then churn the Thai tea and salted cream separately before layering and marbling them together by hand in every tub.
Available September 23 at all Stella Jean’s locations.
Fun fact: “SaWaDiKa” means “hello” in Thai. 🙏🏻

Brown Butter Pecan (GF). 🧈 One of our classics since day one.
We cook butter until it reaches a deep, dark amber, then blend it into our 16% butterfat ice cream base with a touch of sea salt for a rich, nutty brown butter flavor. Once churned, we fold in plenty of toasted pecans for a little crunch in every scoop.
Simple, buttery, nutty, and still one of our favorites after all these years. 🍨
Available at all locations. Order for delivery through the link in bio.

Pineapple POG (V+GF) is a swirl of pineapple sherbet made with pineapple purée, pineapple juice, coconut milk, and a touch of sea salt, together with our POG sorbet made with passion fruit, orange juice, and pink guava.
Bright, juicy, a little tart, and incredibly refreshing. Summer in a scoop. 🧡💛

Before we even opened Stella Jean’s, there was one flavor we knew had to be on the menu: Mango Sticky Rice (V+GF) 🇹🇭🥭🍚
Inspired by one of Chef Gan’s (Gan Suebsarakham) favorite Thai desserts growing up in Thailand, it’s been on our menu since the very beginning. Almost eight years later, it’s still one of our most scooped and most loved flavors.
Made with pandan-infused coconut milk and mango sorbet, churned separately and folded together by hand.
Available year-round by the scoop or pint at all Stella Jean’s locations.
Fun fact: One of Chef Gan’s favorite mango sticky rice spots in Bangkok is No.1 Mango Sticky Rice. Save this one for your next trip to Thailand. 🇹🇭
Fresh pandan leaves going into coconut milk to steep for hours.
Straining our pandan-infused coconut milk.
Mango sorbet, fresh out of the churn.
Pandan coconut milk ice cream, fresh out of the churn.
Both flavors folded together by hand, one tub at a time.
MSR! 🇹🇭🥭🍚

Matcha + Pandan Birthday Cake (V) 💚🎂
We love classic birthday cake ice cream, but we also wanted to celebrate the flavors we grew up with. This flavor brings them together in one scoop.
Creamy coconut milk ice cream infused with Mizuba Tea Co. | Japanese Matcha & Teas matcha, folded with freshly baked pandan birthday cake made with pandan leaf powder for its naturally vibrant green color, then soaked in pandan syrup for even more pandan goodness. Finished with Softies rainbow sprinkles and a touch of sea salt.
