Three more weeks of Stella Jean’s summer. ☀️🍍🌺
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. 🧡💛

La Mesa, we finally have some news! 🥧+☕️+🍦
Our permits are officially in, and construction on our new Pop Pie Co. + Stella Jean’s location is getting started at 8243 La Mesa Blvd, with both shops located side by side.
We can’t promise an opening date just yet, but we’re hopeful we’ll be welcoming you around the holidays. We’ll keep you posted as we get closer.
A little look at what’s to come, designed by our friends at tecscape, who have been with us since our very first locations. 🫶
Thanks for being so patient with us, La Mesa. We can’t wait to be part of the neighborhood.

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.
Available by the scoop, pint, or online delivery at all Stella Jean’s locations. 🫶

One of our favorite parts of what we do is getting to be part of life’s biggest celebrations. 🍦🤍
We had the honor of scooping ice cream for Isabella & John’s wedding, and seeing these beautiful moments brings us so much joy. Thank you for letting Stella Jean’s be a small part of your celebration. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness, love, and plenty of ice cream together.

What people say
Stella Jean's Ice Cream on E 17th Street in Costa Mesa is a must-visit for anyone who loves small-batch, creatively delicious ice cream. This ice cream shop offers plant-based options that are sure to satisfy any sweet tooth. In fact, Stella Jean's has been recognized as one of the top ten ice cream shops in the USA by USA Today.
Their Calamansi Creamsicle (v & gf) ice cream is a seasonal treat that elevates the classic creamsicle pops we all grew up with. The high-quality Madagascar vanilla provides the perfect balance to the calamansi, a citrus hybrid predominantly cultivated in the Philippines.
For those looking for something more unique, try their Tahini + Miso Caramel (gf) ice cream. This savory-sweet treat features tahini ice cream with ribbons of miso caramel and bits of crispy sesame brittle sprinkled throughout. It's complex and truly one-of-a-kind.
And if you're looking for a classic flavor with a twist, their Strawberry Oat Crumble (v + gf) is a must-try. This pint belongs in your freezer!
Overall, Stella Jean's Ice Cream is a gem in Costa Mesa that should not be missed by any ice cream lover.
