Scoops From Around The World Returns To Stella Jean’s Ice Cream

University Heights scoop shop Stella Jean’s Ice Cream is bringing back its hit ice cream collaboration series, “Scoops From Around the World,” for a limited time starting Friday of Labor Day weekend.

Scoops From Around The World Returns To Stella Jean's Ice Cream

A series of flavors celebrating flavors from around the world, co-owner and head ice cream maker Gan Suebsarakham collaborated with five San Diego chefs to create flavors inspired by global cuisines, originally releasing the lineup on National Ice Cream Day to much fanfare .

The flavors were so popular – with lines down the block all day – that the modern day scoop shop has decided to bring each flavor back for a weekend at a time – kicking off over Labor Day weekend.

 Scoops From Around The World Returns To Stella Jean's

Gan is from Khon Kaen, Thailand, and came to the U.S. when he was 25 to pursue his dream of opening a business. Together with his partner, Steven Torres, Gan has now opened both Stella Jean’s and Pop Pie Co., where he is the executive chef.

Since Stella Jean’s opened last fall, he has regularly collaborated with local chefs, but he wanted to bring together a group to showcase lesser known flavors that resonate with San Diego’s immigrant and expat communities who seek flavors from back home in their new home.

Schedule of availability for each flavor:

We love this concept, and we don’t plan to miss a single flavor!

Make sure to mark your calendar so you don’t miss out!
