Stella Jean's Ice Cream Kensington

Stopped by Stella Jean’s recently after hearing all the hype. The ice cream itself? No doubt, delicious. Creative flavors like Ube + Pandesal Toffee and Mango Sticky Rice live up to the buzz, and you can tell everything’s high quality and thoughtfully made. They even have great vegan and gluten-free options. But here’s the thing: the line was long—really long. Even though staff moved things along, it felt like too much of a wait for something that should be a casual treat. And the price? $6 for a single scoop (closer to $9.25 for a double) is hard to justify, no matter how good it is. Bottom line: if you’re down to splurge and wait in line for some of the most flavorful and unique ice cream in San Diego, it’s a solid pick. But between the price and the crowd, it’s not exactly a low-key stop. Three stars feels fair—great product, just not the most convenient experience.

Well my family raves about this place for its gluten free vegan ice cream my first visit no idea what it was gonna be like, the two employees were really not very happy about questions or samples we spent a good 80 or ‘more bucks there was 6 of us -horrible customer service it was like they were rushing us and would just help others and ignore us I’m was really bummed out
