Strawberry Shortcake Softserve Pie is on the menu today. The one your grandmother made, if your grandmother kept a Softserve machine and a flair for the dramatic.

Two fan favorite flavors of the week!
-Vanilla Bean - “Not all vanilla softserve is created equal. We use the best vanilla extract and paste, which produces a Softserve that stands unrivaled in flavor”
-Brownie Batter - “Remember that moment when Mom set down the mixing bowl after pouring the brownie batter into the pan? Now, you can indulge in all that rich, chocolatey goodness without battling your siblings for the coveted spoon-licking privilege!”

"I got dessert!"
Next time you get invited to a dinner party, say it first. Everyone will have an opinion about the wine, the seating, and the sides, but they will all agree that the Magpies Softserve Pie was the best part of the night.

New flavors of the week!
-Key Lime “A delicious balance of sweet, tart, and creamy elements. Its standout feature is the key lime juice, sourced directly from the Florida Keys”
-Graham Cracker “One of the best parts of any pie is the crust, so we decided to make a Softserve flavor dedicated to one of the best, the graham cracker crust!”

As a kid, 31 Flavors, as we called it then, was the family go to place, where I would faithfully order my Chocolate Chip Mint and mom, Butter Pecan. Maybe it was the name or that mom refused to share, probably the former, but I never tasted it. Some years on, Butter Pecan is also one of my favorites. On the menu today is a brand new Softserve Pie, Butter Pecan. This one's for you, mom!
-Butter Pecan Softserve Pie - Butter Pecan Softserve layered with fudge, brown sugar cake & candied pecans, topped with molasses whipped cream & graham streusel in a graham cracker crust

New Flavors this week:
-Matcha - Nutty, grassy, mild earthiness with a sweetness running underneath
-Roasted Strawberry - Strawberries are slow cooked down to a concentrated puree, then folded into the base. Deepens the flavor and pulls the sweetness forward
-Dark Chocolate Truffle - Rich dark chocolate, deep cocoa, a hint of roasted espresso behind it
Fun Fact: Real matcha is grown in the shade. The leaves spend their last weeks before harvest covered up, which is what turns them that electric green and what keeps the flavor sweet instead of bitter.

In New Zealand they call honeycomb candy "hokey pokey," and it's basically the national ice cream flavor. Whole country, one flavor and we respect the conviction. Honeycomb is on the menu this week!
-Honeycomb - “Made with our house made honeycomb candy, delivering a deep caramelized flavor”
-White Coffee - “Coffee and oat milk mixed so perfectly, that your local barista will wonder why you don’t stop in anymore”

The biggest things in a life are usually made of small ones. Years of them. Done so steadily you forget to notice, until you do. This Mother's Day, serve a little thank you with our Lemon Raspberry Softserve Pie. Lemon Bar Softserve, raspberry jam, sugar cookies, graham cracker crust, whipped cream and raspberry crumble. A small, sweet way to say I love you.

Three new flavors on the menu this week:
-Guava: "Honeyed sweetness, tangy flavor, and floral undertones that transport you to a tropical island holiday."
-Flourless Chocolate Cake: "Imagine a molten lava cake, frozen and kicked up a notch."
-Strawberry Hibiscus: "The almost-cranberry flavor of hibiscus mixed with strawberry preserves. Tart and refreshing."
Pick one. Or be reasonable and get all three... See you soon!

Crumb one, crumb all! Our new Softserve Pie is Gluten Free!
Coffee Oreo Softserve Pie - White Coffee Softserve layered with fudge, Oreo pieces & chocolate cookie crumble, topped with coffee whipped cream in a gluten free chocolate graham crust
Available at all locations!

Two delicious new flavors of the week:
-Chai Latte - “Softserve infused with black tea spiced with cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, black peppercorns, star anise and nutmeg”
-Brown Sugar Vanilla - “Tastes like chocolate chip cookie dough, minus the chocolate chips”
Fun fact: Vanilla is the second most expensive spice in the world after saffron, and here's why: it's a Mexican orchid pollinated by one particular bee that refuses to live anywhere else. Madagascar grows most of the world's supply now, but every single bean there has to be hand pollinated, a technique invented in 1841 by a 12 year old enslaved boy named Edmond Albius.

Growing up, a road trip to Palm Desert with my grandparents meant one thing: Shields Date Garden. Specifically, the date shake. That deep, caramel sweetness was the whole reason to make the drive. I have been trying to recreate it ever since.
This week, Date Shake is on the menu and I think we nailed it!
And because one great flavor deserves company, Midnight Chocolate is here too. Deep rich chocolate, none of the bitterness.
See you soon!

The first winter after Rose and I opened the Silver Lake shop, we were deeply concerned. Foot traffic drops when it gets cold, and a Softserve shop in January is a real test of faith. Our theory was simple: people don't stop eating dessert in winter, they just stop coming in as often. We needed to make something they could take home, put in the freezer, and enjoy on their own time. When it came to building the recipe, we went straight to what we knew worked, our most popular Softserve flavor, Corn Almond, and our most popular topping, Honeycomb candy. That's how the Original Fried Softserve Pie was born! It worked better than either of us expected. We now keep a rotation of six on the menu, but the Original has never left. Some things come out of necessity and end up becoming permanent.

Two new flavors this week. Rau Ram: the Vietnamese herb you've eaten a hundred times without knowing its name, peppery and lemony and somewhere more interesting than cilantro or mint. Passion Fruit Orange: aromatic, floral, sweet-tart, balanced with fresh squeezed orange juice. Find them at all three locations while they last!

Holidays are one of our favorite things. Not because of the occasion, but because of what they do, pull people together, slow things down, and create the kind of moments worth showing up for. Getting to be part of that table is something we take seriously and have a lot of fun with.
This Easter, we made a Carrot Cake Softserve Pie. Carrot cake Softserve layered with cream cheese icing and brown sugar pound cake, topped with whipped cream, house made pineapple jam and graham streusel in a graham cracker crust. We hope the Easter Bunny appreciates the carrot situation.
We only made a small batch, so order yours now. Miss it and you are waiting until next Easter.

New flavors that'll have you plotting your return before you're even done!
-Coconut Vanilla Bean - "The complex flavor of vanilla adds floral earthy notes to the tropical taste and creamy texture of the coconut milk"
-Chocolate Milkshake - "The malt provides a hint of nostalgia, reminiscent of a classic malted milkshake, while the chocolate adds a satisfying depth of cocoa flavor"
-Roasted Strawberry - "To deepen the flavor and enhance their natural sweetness, we slow roast strawberries down to a concentrated puree, then fold it into our Softserve base"
Silver Lake / Highland Park / Tarzana

Two new flavors this week, and they're both worth the trip!
Brown Butter Pecan - Deep caramel sweetness from brown sugar, rounded out with the richness of toasted pecans
Carrot Cake - Cinnamon, warm spice, and earthy sweetness to bring it home. Softserve that tastes like carrot cake should!
Find us in Silver Lake, Highland Park, and Tarzana.
