Stella Jean's Ice Cream & Coffee

YUM! Have seen this spot before and was so excited to come by again!!Came in on a Friday night so it was definitely busy but the line moved quickly, workers were so kind and helped us with samples before we placed an orderThe ube was soooo good and the chocolate covered banana was also delicious! Can't wait to come back and try more flavors

Came here with my brother this time. It was his first time at this location. Just remember that the building is painted a cute pink and light green color! That is how they stand out from the rest of Kensington. There was a line, but it wasn't too bad. They have outdoor seating (front and in the back) and 3 small tables inside. Since I saw on Instagram their new flavors of this season-- I was really looking forward to tasting it. I love Stella Jean Ice Cream because they have unique flavors and usually have great rotation. My thoughts on what we sampled: - Sweet Tea + Peach Jam: 0% sweetness in this sweet tea. It was straight tea, no sweetness, no peach notes. Not for me. - Double Chocolate: yummy!My brother tried:- Brown Butter Pecan: he said it didn't taste like much. - S'mores: Pretty good!- POG aka Pineapple + Passion Fruit + Orange + Pink Guava: it was good, but not one that he'd want a full scoop of. To order, I had the split scoop of the Chocolate Covered Banana (v+gf) and the Double Chocolate. Usually I love banana flavored stuff so that's why I ordered this without tasting it. It was good, don't get me wrong. But it tasted like I was having overripe frozen + blended banana while at a different gelato spot, their chocolate banana flavor tasted like I was eating a freshly peeled banana (which I enjoy that flavor more). The chocolate pieces in Stella Jeans version felt "separated" from the ice cream (thick?). It has a heavy oat milk flavor which I'm not a fan of and I didn't like the bits of almond either (I find almond to be drying in the mouth). The Double Chocolate is one that I sampled and enjoyed. But when I had it in a full scoop, I was like...hmm. This flavor wasn't smooth -- it was creamy but also a bit icy in some parts of the ice cream. It also had a flavor of salt! I'm not sure where that came from. Overall, I'd rate these two flavors a total of 3/5. Scoops were kind of small today, for the price that it was. My brother had the ube pandesal and the mango sticky rice. He said the ube was good but it didn't taste as fresh and flavorful as the one at the OG location. And the mango sticky rice was different too! The sticky rice portion was a darker color and the flavor wasn't as yummy/well balanced. Another thing he mentioned was that the sample spoon sizes got smaller and smaller with every ask to sample. (We sampled about 3). Overall, I'd still recommend to come to Stella Jeans to try their ice cream flavors. They had a great array and several that we didn't taste. I think that everyone's palettes are different--therefore what I don't like, someone else might love.

This new location of Stella Jean has been a great addition to Kensington and gives the block a bit of vibrance which has been needed in my opinion especially since the closing of Ken Cinema. The service is very friendly and you are able to sample as many of their flavors as you like. They usually have a great variety of flavors to choose from and they are well balanced with quality ingredients.The space is clean but a bit on the small side so it's nice to be able to get a scoop and walk around the neighborhood and explore.

This place has super unique ice cream flavors. Each flavor we tried was delicious. The service is also great and there is plenty of seating in the back of the shop.

Stella jeans offers some unique flavors that you can't find elsewhere! They rotate seasonal flavors so it's always fun to try their offerings. The stores are all so cute and modern with friendly staff. We tried the brown butter pecan which was decadent and smooth, but not too sweet! Their seasonal sweet tea and peach was delightful. Notes of black tea intertwined with fruity peachy jam that complemented each other really well.

Very spontaneous ice cream around here because we have a friend who lives in this neighborhood and had good things to say. Not going to lie, the flavors were really extremely creative! Some of the Asian flavors there, especially. Ube Pandesal Toffee - absolutely delicious flavor and had that buttery vibe going on as well.Probably my second favorite among everything I tried. S'mores - I usually always a lot of smells ice cream or somehow this one just did not hit. It was also like a charcoal flavor to it, but that isn't usually a problem. I'm not sure what was up here but not the best. Strawberry Basque Cheesecake - very unique flavor here! And very good as well. It's like a strawberry cheesecake with a little fancyness. Husband picked this flavor. I went with the Milk + Cookies; It was like a classic cookies and cream ice cream but proper chunks of Oreos and just really nice overall.

The worker helping us out was really kind and was able to guide us through the flavors. They have non-dairy options too which was cool! Prices are reasonable too. I got a kids scoop ($4 something) with a cone. Inside is cute too. And you can make ice cream sandwiches!Will be coming again!

The pink background flavors are seasonal. I got the mango sticky rice and the brown butter pecan. They were both soooooooo gooooood!!!!No cash accepted!I came in on a Sunday 7/14/24. The girl that helped me was a customer service star!! It's a cute little dainty place, some room to sit outside and inside.

This is a great spot for a sweet treat whether it's ice cream or a coffee. I've been twice and the people that work there friendly and on overall great vibe. I got a kid size ice cream (which was a perfect size to eat it without getting messy) of the chocolate covered banana flavor which is the bomb! I'm not a vegan so I think it is a sign of a great shop or restaurant when their vegan options manage to make you not miss the dairy. Btw I loved my iced latte from here too!

Cute place to pop in for a later study sesh or sweet craving! There's only 3 tiny tables though. The staff is really cool about wanting you to try all the flavors, since they're pretty unique. I sampled all the flavors & ended up with a combo of the Ube + Brown Butter Pecan. Both were so creamy & decadent. I was trying not to get ube because it's usually a fave, but this one was actually more unique & had a lovely texture to it, so I couldn't resist! I also tried the matcha crinkle pastry, which had a soft, light flavor + texture. I would love to come try the butter cake cookie next time. One thing to mention is that they have 2 ice creams using a coconut ash ingredient & it immediately gives a campfire memory to the taste, especially the s'mores one. The Burnt Honey Goat Cheese tasted very outdoorsy in a surprising way. I don't really like goat cheese, but the ash flavor distracted me away from it. I think it could pair well with the s'mores. Don't be afraid to try it!
