WE. ARE. OPENING. THIS. SATURDAY.
Thank you @lenak21@sfchronicle_food for the grand announcement!
My emotions are oscillating between elation and abject terror but man, am I dying to just throw open the doors and have y’all join me. Making ice cream is fun and eating ice cream is fun (duh), but truly my favorite part is sharing it with you guys. So cheesy but it’s trueeeee.
WE’RE LIVE.
I am delirious on pure adrenaline and joy right now and am still processing everything so in the interim, please google and read this stunning article from @thedeguz@eater_sf when I was ever so slightly more coherent 🤣
📸😍 @pchangphoto
The photo on slide 4 keeps making me tear up 😭 thank you @eastbaynosh@theoaklandside@madrtz for this incredibly in-depth article. I think this one feels extra special because it details how much love and attention goes into each scoop.
Plus! I get to share the spotlight with @fashopao and @jblovespastries , talk about our newest flavor that I’m so proud of with @rizeupbakery , and tease a little ✨somethin’ somethin’✨ at the end coming in August with @mamasboypizza_ and @ifonlycreative .
Small food businesses are miracles. But you can always make you’re own magic when you’re working with great people. ❤️
🚨 1st Pop Up 🚨
common aspects - in shared spaces, looking to turn towards each other, finding the parts we already have in common
stepping into the coffee industry was more than just a pivot. it became an entry point of connection. customers taught patience, regulars turned to friends, coworkers laid the foundation of unity
this pop up came from every moment of encouragement from anyone who’d listen to the ideas i’ve had over the years. it meets my love for coffee (or a good bevvy), community, and giving back in one place
i’ll be doing this alongside two people who inspire me every day, Kaleigh (@kaleighhh.d ) and Nolan. together we’re curating something special
menu drops closer to the date
‼️ MUTUAL AID ‼️
bring any unopened, 100% cotton/non-toxic menstrual products and receive 20% off your order. we’ll have a donation box to redistribute to mutual aid groups across Oakland.
treat your mom (or yourself!) to some pie and ice cream!! I’ll be at @badwalters this Saturday with a stacked menu of seasonally inspired, locally sourced sweet & savory pies ❤️🔥
on the menu:
SWEET:
•strawberry fig leaf •peach •cherry •passionfruit cream
SAVORY:
•chicken pot pie •buffalo chicken hand pie •artichoke dip galette • vegan miso mushroom & leek •quiche (pre-order only!)
I’ll have plenty of slices and personal sized savory pies available for day of purchase but if you want a whole pie I HIGHLY recommend you pre-order on @hotplate
And if you can’t make it out this weekend, worry not! You can find me at @badwalters every second and fourth Saturday of the month 🥧🤝🍦
ps. If any of the savory guys catch your eye, make sure you snatch ‘em now because as soon as corn and tomatoes hit the farmers market the savory portion of the menu is gonna start looking really different!

Shortage of lemon bar sandwiches so get them while they’re frozen! Lemon ice cream, lemon curd, honey graham cookies. All of the ones that have touched the floor will be going to my husband 😎 NO WASTE BABY.
PS it’s not labeled but Child’s Play is new and perfect and like a trip back to elementary school.
Graveyard Dirt is BACK. You are so welcome.
Shout out to @thrasymachus12 for hilarious persistence to get this back on the menu. Peer pressure works, especially if it makes me laugh.
🚨CHANGE TO FA’SHO DOUGH THIS WEEK🚨
Most ice cream shops that have malted flavors use malted milk powder. We, however, cannot because of the operative word ‘milk’. That has lactose and that’s our #1 no-no. So we specifically use non-diastatic malt to flavor our malted flavors; this type of malt meant for flavoring, not baking. And while diastatic malt powder is annoyingly easy to find, I’ve only been able to find one company that sells what we need.
For whatever reason (gas prices probably), we’ve been having trouble getting our hands on our beloved non-diastatic malt powder the past few weeks. So we’re trying something interesting.
We had just enough malt left for the pints of Fa’Sho Dough, but not enough for the pans. After a lot of stress and scrambling to rejigger the menu, we remembered: doesn’t it taste pretty good without the malt? And the answer is obviously DUH OF COURSE IT DOES. So our pans of Fa’Sho Dough this week will be regular brown sugar.
@fashopao and I would love to hear what you guys think and which you prefer!
‼️Hokey Pokey. Hanky Panky. Tinky Winky. Move out the way for 🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
GOLDIE OLDIE. If you’ve miraculously gotten ahold of our always-sold-out pandan-butterscotch ice cream sandwiches, you know that this flavor is not playing around.
🚨Noting that we don’t have these sandwiches in stock but we’ve got an even crazier carrot cake-cream cheese sandwich coming out Friday for a limited time only!🚨
