Stella Jean's Ice Cream Pacific Beach is an ice cream shop at 829 Garnet Ave, 92109, where small-batch flavors made with premium ingredients and bold global influences draw steady crowds year round. Created in 2018 by Steven Torres and Gan Suebsarakham, the same team behind Pop Pie Co. and the Sweet & Savory Collective, the brand earned a fast following for rotating seasonal flavors like mango sticky rice, ube and pandesal, and other inventive combinations that reflect Suebsarakham's Thai heritage and the founders' broader culinary curiosity. The Pacific Beach location opened alongside the Pop Pie Co. outpost in early 2023, giving Garnet Ave a combined pie-and-ice-cream destination that attracts families, tourists, and groups looking for a casual dessert stop after a beach day. Torres and Suebsarakham, who are husbands and business partners, met through Grossmont College's culinary arts program and built the Collective into a multi-location operation spanning University Heights, Point Loma, South Park, Carlsbad, and Costa Mesa. Island-inspired cocktail lovers exploring the same stretch of Pacific Beach often make an evening of it with a stop at Miss B's Coconut Club, a Caribbean-themed restaurant a few blocks toward the boardwalk. With a 4.8-star Google rating across more than 140 reviews, regulars praise the quality of ingredients and the constantly changing flavor board that makes repeat visits worthwhile. Beachgoers craving a full meal with an ocean view before their scoop can head to Waterbar on the boardwalk for coastal American fare and craft cocktails. Stella Jean's serves coffee alongside its scoops and is open daily, with extended hours on Fridays and Saturdays running until 10 p.m.
