Kadak Chai + Gingersnap Crumble mood board: a beanie, denim, and a double scoop. 🧣🍂

Mornings are in the 60s now, which in California means beanie weather and cozy denim. And a scoop or two of Kadak Chai + Gingersnap Crumble to go with it.

Bold Assam black tea steeped with ginger, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and black pepper in a coconut milk base, layered with golden brown gingersnap crumble.

Here through the end of November. We’d love for you to try it while it’s still on the menu.

Available now at all Stella Jean’s locations. 🍦

Meet our Halloween flavors! 🎃🍦

🌽🧀 Mais Queso Candy Corn (GF)
Inspired by the Filipino classic Mais Queso. We steep our 16% butterfat ice cream base with corn, brown butter, and a touch of sea salt, then churn it into creamy corn ice cream. Sharp cheddar ice cream is churned separately, then we hand-pack both flavors together for that candy corn look!

💜💚 Spooky Ube + Pandan Macapuno (V + GF)
Inspired by classic Filipino treats. We steep coconut milk with pandan leaves, then add pandan powder and a little spooky green color. After churning, we layer in macapuno, soft, sweet coconut strings often used in Filipino desserts. Then we hand-pack it with our ube coconut milk ice cream for a purple and green scoop!

Both specials are available starting today at all 8 locations until sold out. Scoops only, no pints!

Free spooky Halloween sprinkles are available at all locations.

Happy Halloween weekend! 👻

8 years of Stella Jean’s. 🍦
Sunday, October 18

8 years. 8 shops. And so much love from us to you. ♾️

The number 8 has always held a special place in our story.

In Thai culture, 8 is considered lucky, symbolizing prosperity and good fortune. When we opened our very first shop, Gan’s mom had one request: open on a date with an 8.

So we did. And we’ve kept that tradition ever since. Every Pop Pie Co., Stella Jean’s, and Little While shop has opened on a date with an 8. A little luck, a lot of hard work, and a reminder of where we come from.

What started as one little ice cream shop in University Heights has grown into 8 shops, with three more on the way. More than we ever imagined.

Through it all, our love for globally inspired flavors, childhood memories, and nostalgia remains the same. Because ice cream has always been about more than flavor. It’s about how it makes you feel, the memories it brings back, and the new ones we create together.

To celebrate, we’re bringing back an original! 🎂

Earl Grey + Citrus Tea Cake returns with a birthday twist: Earl Grey + Citrus Birthday Tea Cake. Available by the scoop at all 8 shops, while supplies last.

And at University Heights, the first 50 guests will receive a 4 oz jar of our housemade guava jam! 🎁

Inspired by Steven’s Cuban heritage and his late grandmother, Valentina, it’s the same jam in our beloved Guava Cream Cheese ice cream. Spread it on toast, dip a croissant or fresh fruit in it, or enjoy it straight from the jar. It’s that good.

Eight years in, we’re proud of what we’ve built, but even more grateful for the people who’ve made it possible. Our team, our families, our neighborhoods, and every person who’s shared a scoop with us.

Thank you for eight incredible years. Here’s to everything still to come.

Khob khun mak mak krub 🙏🏻 — Gan
¡Muchas gracias! 🙏🏻 — Steven

Thai Tea + Salted Cream 🇹🇭 🫖

Growing up in Thailand, I often heard people say, “Don’t forget the salt in the Thai tea.” That little reminder inspired this flavor.

Made with ChaTraMue Official Account, the original Thai tea brand from Thailand since 1945.

We steep the tea directly into our ice cream base, then strain it. The Thai tea and salted cream are churned separately before we layer and marble them together by hand in every tub. 🧡🤍

Available at all Stella Jean’s locations.
