If you’ve been in this last week, hopefully you snagged some of our seasonal “oatmeal cream pie”. Ultra-toasted marshmallow ice cream envelope pieces of house made oatmeal cookies. One of my favorite little Debbie treats as a kid, I made a grown up version to satisfy my inner child. Here for the next few weeks, if toasty + cinnamon + oatmeal cookies is your jam, don’t sleep on this one.

The best thing to do with summer fruit: make them into ice cream flavors. We’re scooping our “Peach cobbler” for the next few weeks to help keep you cool and your tastebuds happy.
We blend sweet peaches into our sweet cream base and add some vanilla to round out the fruity flavor. We then make and toss in pieces of cobbler crust made with a touch of cinnamon to really bring that peach cobbler vibe. Refreshing, fruity and perfect to close out the summer break before it’s back to school.

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.
