The four words you’ve been waiting for: “hello, summer!” is back!

This one hardly needs an introduction. Lemon-cream cheese ice cream swirled with a house-made blueberry puree and crushed graham crackers get tossed in. It’s an OG seasonal flavor we’ve been doing since 2019 and every year, when it starts heating up, the messages come through asking for it. Well, the wait is over and she’ll be around for at least a couple of months!

For the past few Mays, I got to introduce and incorporate Asian flavors I grew up with in a AAPI seasonal flavor. This year I leaned on a treat I always ate as a kid and I now buy for my kids. I’ve always, and still do, love going into Asian bakeries and picking out all the perfectly sweet pastries. Egg tart is *the* quintessential Asian pastry. A creamy custard set inside a buttery tart crust. Found in every Asian bakery, made slightly differently, but always craveable. So naturally, I had to make it into our newest ice cream flavor.

“Egg tart” is a creamy vanilla egg-forward custard ice cream with house-made pieces of buttery tart crust tossed in. A taste that immediately puts you into a specific place or time. If you’re familiar with these treats, it’s a must try. If it’s new to you, come sample a taste of my childhood. Limited batches at each location starting today.

That feeling when you were a kid playing outside and you hear the ice cream truck jingle. You grab money from mom and jump in line. You pick your favorite bar and life is good.

My favorite was always the strawberry shortcake bar with its pink and white crumbles and sweet strawberry interior. So, I grew up and made a much better version of it. Made with a punchy swirl of real strawberries and our version of the iconic crumble. I do it every year for Mother’s Day because what better way to treat her right back with this nostalgic flavor.

“Strawberry shortcake” is locked in and loaded in scoops and pints starting today! Come get you (and mom) some!

Our carrot cake is now “last chance”! That means we’re on the last few containers of it so if you wanted to try it or need to squeeze in one more scoop…now’s the time to do it! This was my first year doing it and a lot of you guys l o v e d it! I was pleasantly surprised and it will definitely come back next April. So if you can’t wait that long, get in this week and don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Pro tip: we always update our menus in store to let you know which seasonal flavor(s) are on the “last chance” list. We like to run our seasonal flavors 4-6 weeks.

“Why can’t you just make keep a seasonal flavor permanently??”
Because we can only carry 16 flavors in store. Having 3 spaces reserved for seasonal flavors pushes me to keep coming up with new flavors and give the chance for past ones to return.

If you’ve ever had a “whopper” or “malteser”, we brought back our seasonal scoop recreating the classic duo of flavors. Malted chocolate and shortbread cookies marry and get rolled into a scoop in our “cookie malt” and it’s ready to scoop starting today!

The buttery bits of cookies and the almost-nutty, creamy chocolate ice cream is the match you never knew you needed. Reminiscent of the classic movie theater candy but made better in ice cream form. Pints and scoops available for a limited time.
