Yikes. I was suckered in by the gulab jamun flavour but this was such an absolutely disappoint. It tasted so bland and whatever was supposed to be gulab jamun was this nasty, almost cardboard-like jamun. I could not taste any of the sugar syrup or rose (the gulab part of the gulab jamun). Definitely overhyped and boring. Better off going to Wanderlust or an actual South Asian small business that makes good South Asian flavoured ice cream. read more

The flavors are unique and clean. Creative and joy filled. I walked on over here with my sister and we were just met with an awesome treat. I like that there's not that many flavors to choose from to begin with. The ingredients are what they say! This has become one of my favorite places to grab icecream. God bless you all! read more

Craved ice cream and have been wanting to try Stella Jean's. Parking can be tough but since we'd go after dinner, there would be spots open. First time I went they ran out of banana turon so I opted for the Yuzu Matcha, since it was a seasonal item. The flavor was soooo good. The yuzu was soooo refreshing and the matcha wasn't too overpowering. I went back the following week to try the banana turon. This was amazing but really sweet for my taste. It gets crowded but service is fast. read more

This place is absolutely delicious and every flavor they offered was so unique and yummy. Located at the every edge of the LAB, it can be a bit hard to find, but the interior is incredibly charming and has 3 tables you can stand at to eat and chat! I personally got the banana Turon crunch, and as someone who personally does not like banana flavored items, I absolutely loved this since it's had no artificial flavor and the banana puree throughout made it more reminiscent of an actual Turon treat. It also had jackfruit, which I loved and the Caramelized egg wrapper was a nice crunch throughout. I will definitely be coming back to try new flavors and get my friends to try them as well ! read more

Located in the Lab which I thought was a pretty cool since I have never been. Enjoyed this cute little ice cream shop because of their unique flavors. Service can be a bit slow, since one worker and the lines can get pretty long depending on the time and day you go. The staff member was very nice. Tons of parking and easy to locate since this plaza is across from The Camp. No chairs inside, but two tables for standing. read more

The mango sticky rice is a standout. I don't usually gravitate toward fruity ice creams, but the pandan adds a subtle, fragrant note that makes the whole thing feel really special. Coming back asap read more

Located in the Lab, parking can be annoying, especially on the weekends. Really unique flavors. Some are coconut based, the coconut flavor really lingers. I tried the ube toffee, pistachio and the s'mores(coconut based). Ube was definitely my favorite out of the three. I prefer the ice cream over the coconut flavors, but they are still good. Everyone enjoyed their ice cream. read more

Wanted to a non chain ice cream parlor so decided to check Stella Jeans! It's inside a cute plaza where it has different shops and it's honestly a pretty cool hangout spot! We got their ube and milk and cookies. We liked the textures of the ice cream but we wished the flavor was a bit stronger? Couldn't really taste the flavors as much as we would have liked. Service was a bit slow but it was okay read more

I love you Stella Jean's Ice Cream. Baklava cheesecake is a must try. SO good. Stella Jean's lets to sample all their flavors, and their cheesecake flavor is love at first bite. Just enough cheesy taste, but not too overpowering. But it's the little chunks mixed into the ice cream that gives it a creamy, sweet & salty flavor. Genius! Just for my ice cream alone, I give Stella Jean's five stars. The place itself is cute and modern, but rather small. Wish they had more seatings but we were still able to enjoy our sweet treats. Don't ask me about the other flavors, because I will likely stay loyal to the baklava cheesecake ice cream for as long as they carry it. Happy eating! read more

Review 18/365 Day Challenge Came to Costa Mesa for a Date Night. Had dinner at HANUMAN Thai Eatery than went to the Candlelight Ed Sheeran Coldplay ensemble concert. Was looking to come to Stella Jeans to grab their ice cream after the show for my bestie. She loves it here. The 2 usual flavors i always get ~ Ube + pandesal toffee. Has the ube taste that's for sure n crunch of toffee. Highly recommended. ~ Mango Sticky Rice tastes legit like the thai dessert. Creamy and not overly sweet. The Ice Cream shop is simple and nice. Clean. Their menu of flavors is limited w Distinctive unique flavors. The packaging and cups for the ice cream is nice. Service is fast and they don't free samples you can try. The prices are a bit high $ 13 for a pint is a bit on the pricey side. So definitely more of an indulgent ice cream treat. Not an everyday treat for the price it is. Stella Jeans ice cream has a handful of shops, San Diego area is one I know of. Located next to Sidecar Donut. Parking is a bit hard since it's not too big. read more

Food: my absolute favorite ice cream in the entire world! The flavors are so creamy and the toppings within every ice cream is just the right amount! We drive all the way from Central California to SoCal for this ice cream because it really is the best ever! I keep telling myself to bring a cooler with lots of ice to bring it home! Hopefully Stella jeans will make it its way up to Fresno one day! Service: the staff are always very nice and let you try out flavors.

First time visiting this location at the LAB, and it was easy to find since it's right at the entrance, next to Bred's Hot Chicken. There was only one person on staff, and she was friendly and welcoming, taking her time with each group despite the line that emerged. Also, she was super generous with samples, which made the experience fun. I hate when places don't allow samples, and you have to gamble on a scoopful of flavor you might not like. I love the ice cream flavors at Stella Jean because they're unique and not overly sweet. I usually expect something like s'mores-style flavors to be sickeningly sweet because of marshmallows, but that wasn't the case. We got a cup of the Ube + Pandesal Toffee and the S'mores. I noticed the texture was really interesting, almost like mochi or a springy marshmallow. It also didn't melt quickly. Mine barely started melting when I had about 15% left, which is impressive. There are tables and seating around the LAB and they also have standing tables inside the ice cream shop. read more

Realizing I can get the best ice ever without going down to San Diego?! Amazing! The only thing that was better than realizing that was trying their seasonal flavors and loving them, hahaha.

I loved: Brown Butter Pecan Ube + Pandesal Toffee The brown butter pecan is rich and creamy with that deep, nutty flavor that makes you go back for another bite immediately. The ube with pandesal toffee is even better. The toffee flakes add the perfect crunch and pair so well with the ube's natural sweetness. Super rich. Great flavor. Service was great. Only one person but they knew their stuff, had great recommendations, and let us try samples. A solid spot if you're craving something elevated but still fun. read more

I love me some ice cream, and my best friend put me onto Stella Jeans I'm still thinking about how good it was. They've got these super fun, unique flavors like mango sticky rice and ube with toffee, and honestly everything we tried was amazing. The ice cream is so creamy and packed with flavor. They let you try free samples, which is dangerous in the best way because I could not make up my mind. The staff was really patient and let me taste every flavor I asked for. They also switch things up with seasonal flavors, so the menu changes depending on when you go. If you're an ice cream lover like me, Stella Jeans is a must. Great service, great vibes, and seriously delicious ice cream. read more

Obsessed with this place! Had no idea they were affiliated with side car donuts and the pie spot next door. Frankie was the best staff member there! He helped us with providing suggestions and letting us try samples. There's a variety of seasonal flavors and all non-dairy ice cream. I loved the ube and mango sticky rice. I was able to have both flavors in one cup for about $6.75. They do sell their ice cream by the pint. There's some outdoor seating and they sell cute merchandise as well. If you love sweets, you definitely have to go here. read more

This spot was my daughter and her friends choice for dessert. I am not lactose friendly but I make do with my dairy pills, but ice cream is typically something I do not gamble with even with a boat of pills. It hurts, and not in a good way lol. But alas what mothers do for their babes. But I was very pleasantly surprised with how many dairy free options there were and of course I sampled every single one. And they were all good! Small little spot with one or two high tops for standing around. It's in the Lab so there is sitting close by. I ended up getting a kids double scoop: one was mango sticky rice (oh my!). The mango flavor was spot on and the sticky rice had a coconut flavor that was so rich and so creamy and almost like not sweet, but it balanced out the mango incredibly! I was blown away. I also got their version of a mint chocolate chip (I am realizing my picture of the menu only included pints, so I cannot remember the exact name of this ), but the mint was super pepperminty and balanced perfectly with the small bits of chocolate. Other scoops pictured: Ube Pandesal Toffee/ Baklava Cheesecake, Double Chocolate in a cone, and Milk & Cookies in a cone. Everyone was very happy. Would be a cute date spot. Get a scoop and then walk around and pic a nice cozy spot in the lab to enjoy and people watch. read more

Such a cute ice cream shop! They do small batches every day so you know it's fresh. Their most popular flavors as of now are the Ube and the Mango Sticky Rice. I ordered a single scoop of the Mango Sticky Rice and I was a good amount of ice cream. It tastes exactly like the dessert meal, but it was just a bit too much of mango for my taste. Probably just how it was scooped, but I still give it a 9/10! I also tried their Cookies and Cream and I will definitely come back for more of that! Service was quick and nice. It was an empty store when I visited, but still overall a great experience (: read more

Ugh, I want to like this place so bad but the flavors just don't do it for me. I've tried Stella Jean's a while back at the other Costa Mesa location, but it just didn't impress me. I got lured back here after seeing their new seasonal flavors (particularly the guava cream cheese) and decided to give it another chance. The girl helping us was very sweet and patient, allowing us to sample several of their flavors: Guava cream cheese: I was SO looking forward to this flavor (I am a guava fanatic) but it barely had any guava flavor at all! I was thinking maybe it was just the sample I got, but after peering into the tub of ice cream, it definitely looked like it was 90% cream cheese and 10% guava, lol. I had high expectations for this flavor, but was left sorely disappointed :( Yuzu + poppyseed cake: I love yuzu, but this flavor was just too sweet for me personally. If the yuzu was actually tartier, it would've balanced out this flavor much better, in my opinion Strawberry oat crumble: I love strawberry ice cream and this one had such a nice, light, natural strawberry flavor. Perfect for a hot summer's day or after a heavy meal :) Ube + pandesal toffee: This flavor was actually pretty good, and very ube forward Mango sticky rice: I remember being disappointed when I initially tried this flavor at Stella Jean's, but actually, it was much better than I remembered. There's a good balance between the mango and coconut, and overall, it is super refreshing. However, I do still think Wanderlust Creamery's version is slightly better While the flavors aren't to my tastes, I do think the ice cream here is really high quality and I do appreciate their unique flavor offerings. The inside of the store is pretty small, with 3 standing tables to the side if you decide to dine-in. However, this place is at The LAB in Costa Mesa, so do prepare yourself for the atrocious parking situation. We came on an early Friday afternoon, and there was already limited parking available in the tiny, cramped parking lot. read more

Plenty of parking spaces. They have standing tables inside, but you can sit outside. They have unique ice cream flavors and great seasonal flavors as well. You can also sample their ice cream flavors before buying. I tried their seasonal Baklava Cheesecake and it was good! It was a bit sweet the more you ate, but a nice treat!

Stella Jean has yummy vegan options. Mango Sticky Rice & Strawberry Oat Crumble seem to be their 'always on the menu' vegan options, but they also always have a seasonal vegan flavor too. I was so bummed to miss the Pistachio Pandan Halloween special, so hopefully another Pandan flavor arrives soon. There isn't seating inside Stella Jean but there is plenty of seating at the LAB. This is a great place to go for people that need a vegan option & are with people that prefer dairy. They sell packed pints of ice cream too! If you're vegan, check out Seabirds & GoodTown Doughnuts while you're enjoying Stella Jean at the LAB! read more

I am so glad that Stella jeans came to Orange County! I first tried it in San Diego and their vegan flavors are amazing. My favorite flavor is thankfully available year-round -- the strawberry oat crumble which is vegan and gluten-free. It is packed with flavor and I love the textures throughout. They also have two additional nondairy flavors that rotate seasonally. On my most recent visit, the flavors were maple banana bread and apple butter + crumble. They were both delicious but I loved the apple butter most! The service is also always great. They are very friendly and happy to provide samples. Highly recommend! read more

Wow! Wow! WOW! What a great Valentines Day and its all thanks to the two guys working the counter at Stella jeans tonight. We got there around 7pm and the place was ABSOLUTELY PACKED with a line out the door and chaos everywhere. But the moment I got to the counter I was greeted by such a sweet and calm tall guy with curly brown hair who was super friendly and more than happy to let me try anything I wanted. He was so patient and was laughing and joking and just had a great energy. His co-worker was flying around, talking and laughing with guests too even though they were SO BUSY. And to top it all off the ice cream was to die for! I didn't mind the wait at all the moment I got my first sample cause it was so good. The man helping me showed me their limited edition Valentines Day flavors and I was sold immediately. Two Scoops of Banana Split for me, thank you! I will be back here as soon as I can, and I'm bringing EVERYONE! read more

Came here after lunch since we were craving something sweet. It's a cozy place nestled in The Lab. It's clean and the staff is friendly and adept at answering questions. We ordered a split scoop of ube pandesal toffee and calamansi creamsicle, and a single scoop of tiger trail. Ube Pandesal Toffee- The ube flavor is rich and creamy. The pandesal toffee pieces add extra texture and gives it a caramel finish. A must try! Calamansi Creamsicle- This is a nice citrusy palate cleanser. The calamansi is bright and refreshing and it's balanced out by the creaminess. Tiger Tail- The chocolate is strong and rich so if you have a palate for dark chocolate, this one's for you. The orange is sweet and refreshing and evens out the flavors. Great place for ice cream! read more

If I am ever in a coma, waft some the Stella Jeans Ube Pandesal ice cream under my nose and I will revive IMMEDIATELY. Stella Jeans,,,,,my love for u transcends space and time. If you're looking for the very best ube ice cream in town, this is the spot. More often than not, ube ice cream can tend to be super subdued, ultimately tasting like purple vanilla. But the Ube Pandesal here packs a PUNCH. They are not shy with the ube flavor and it shows!! I love that they're generous with the Pandesal toffee bits as well, which provides great texture and crunch in every bite. If you're at Stella Jeans, the Ube Pandesal is a must try! Besides the Ube, they have a ton of great seasonal flavors, and vegan options as well! One of my favorite sweet treats ever, definitely check out Stella Jeans! + the girls working are super kind and accommodating! read more
