Magpies Soft Serve is a solid spot for dessert. I went on a Saturday night, and there was no wait, which was a nice surprise. I tried the Oreo pie and the hot chocolate pie, both were great and completely vegan. Honestly, I couldn't even tell they were vegan, which says a lot about how well they're made. The pies were rich and flavorful without being too heavy, and the textures were on point. I've been underwhelmed by other dessert spots in LA before, but this place really hit the mark. Definitely worth a visit if you're looking for something sweet, especially if you want vegan options that don't compromise on taste. read more

Magpies Softserve - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Los Angeles, California

As part of our mini vacay, we decided to spend time with our Baby Girl and since we had eaten dinner, she planned for us to grab dessert somewhere. Prior to us meeting up with her, I requested that the place she takes us to has to have ice cream. She took us to Magpies Softserve and besides satisfying my request for ice cream, Magpies also serves delicious softserve pies. The softserve desserts here are en fuego and customer service was friendly and positive, but space to lounge is minimal and the two softserve sample per person is untenable. Magpies is located in Silver Lake Los Angeles specifically on the road that leads to Griffith Park Observatory. If you finished a workout at the Observatory, driving down to Magpies would be a great reward especially if it's a warm Los Angeles day. The shop is located on the corner of Griffith Park and Hyperion specifically within Merrill Plaza. Other tenants in the plaza are Meze, Jersey Mike's, and Postalworks. There's a private parking lot with tight spaces and I got nervous thinking a car was going to hit me as they were backing up. Magpies is a small softserve shop with no seating inside except for a standup slate of wood to eat on. There are two outdoor benches you can sit on and eat your desserts. It's bright inside the store; there's an Andy Warhol inspired art piece showing a variety of softserve pie slices; a large piece of artwork hangs on one of the walls with the business name in neon and softserve ice cream cones depicted in what looks like graffiti; and the register counter and workspace island have a colorful mosaic design. The gentleman behind the counter and who I believe was his female manager had a positive disposition and provided friendly customer service. When I perused their menu, I knew that I was going to order their softserve, but there were 8 flavors and I couldn't tell from the name of the flavor whether I wanted to order it. I asked the gentleman if I could taste several of their flavors. I asked to taste date shake, corn almond, malted milk shake, and sweet cream. After I tried my third flavor, the gentleman politely said that they only allow two samples per customer. I honestly don't feel that's a smart business restriction because customers can't tell from what's listed on their menu what a flavor tastes like. I was slightly taken aback when he mentioned this restriction to me, but he allowed me to sample more flavors stating that he didn't tell me ahead of time about this restriction. I've been to Salt and Straw, Baskin Robbins, and other ice cream shops and not once did they tell me there was a limit to the samples I requested. After my samples, I decided on a regular cup that comes with two flavors and I selected corn almond and sweet cream with toasted almonds as a topping for an additional charge. The corn almond tasted like Frosted Flakes and the sweet cream combined well together. They were both creamy, luscious, and the toasted almonds added texture to what was already a delightful dessert. I thought both flavors were really tasty. For the health conscious, some of the softserve flavors are vegan and gluten free. My daughter has not steered us wrong with her restaurant choices and tonight was no exception. Her choice of Magpies Softserve for dessert was a Mag-nificent selection and I'd love to try their nutter butter softserve pie the next time we visit. read more

Pretty good ice cream pies - vegan or not! Went for an after dinner dessert. Grabbed a few pies - they were pretty good, not too sweet, definitely couldn't finish them all ... probably 1 pie per 2 people sort of vibes. I think I could have done with less of the whip cream stuff in the pies. If I'm feeling for another ice cream pie sometime, I'll def consider them! read more

Magpies Softserve - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My husband and I dropped by and sampled some soft serve (Roasted Strawberry and Almond Baklava) which was very flavorful! We were very impressed, but decided to try a slice a pie since we've never tried soft serve pie before. We went with the Original Fried Pie, which was frozen, so we waited around 10 minutes for it to thaw. It turned out to be a little too sweet for us, but still enjoyable! Note: there is no seating inside, just a standing table area, but there are two benches outside. read more

Magpies Softserve - Roasted Strawberry Pint (Vegan) key lime graham cracker and Slice of Gluten Free Coffee Oreo Softserve Pie (Vegan) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Service was friendly and helpful, store was clean and organized. Softserve was mostly just icy, flavors were off and lacked cohesion. I sampled a few of the vegan flavors none of which I really liked they had no depth, the key lime was too bitter the sweet corn too sweet. I tried a couple non vegan flavors and it just seemed like everything was a little off or exaggerated in the wrong way. I got the keylime and graham cracker swirled and I threw most of it away :( bummer, I was looking forward to a sweet treat. read more

They don't have a long list of flavors on their menu but what they do have it's delicious. I like the mint but this time around I ordered the other favorites in a waffle cone, Corn Almond and Sweet Cream. It was a nice hot sunny Sunday and the perfect time to enjoy this cold treat. They don't accept cash so make sure you bring a credit card. read more

Magpies Softserve - Slice of Vietnamese Coffee Caramel Softserve - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Great vegan ice cream! The corn almond was so intriguing and I would get that again. I got the original pie which is delicious but it takes about 15-20 minutes to really thaw enough to eat which is frustrating but that's just the ice cream and I get that they have to keep it frozen! There's not anywhere to sit inside, it's very small, but they placed benches outside which are nice. This place was so popular. People were coming steadily even at 10 pm and eating in their cars in the parking lot when the benches were full. Worth the drive to LA. read more

Food was very good especially the pistachio flavor pie. Definitely should listen and let it thaw though. A little pricy for a slice ($12-ish?) but yknow now it's kind of normal these days alas alas oh my poor wallet. Also thank you to the man who let us sample things and was patient at night time. very good service. Also has a small parking lot so yay. Ambiance is nice but no indoor seating. I like the decor. Late night sweet treat shout out my boi (my sibling) wow the sorrows that permeate our souls know no end. We walked around the parking lot to let our pie thaw and it was good, did not fix all my problems but at least I ate pie. Also shoutout my coworker who recommended this place even though they told me about my zodiac sign and hurt my feelings (apparently Aries moons are dramatic and that's the most hurtful thing ever how will I ever recover) I'm joking bye g read more

My favorite softserve shop to date! We recently stumbled upon this place when driving to a cake shop. We stopped to get some gas and saw across the street, Magpies Softserve :) So my girlfriend and I came by and were hooked! We brought the other girls we were meeting up with and they too loved the softserves. We love their: - Brown Sugar Vanilla - Miso Caramel (more on the caramel side, barely taste the miso) - Orange Creamsicle - Malt Chocolate - Corn Almond (faint almond taste) And of course, you have to get the delicious toppings of Butterscotch Rice Krispies and the Honeycomb. We have been back a couple of times and always hits every time. The Staff is always excellent and kind. Magpies changes some of their flavors every week. Thank you Magpies Softerve! read more

It was dessert o'clock for my wife and I when one of us (her) really wanted some soft serve ice cream. We turned to the yelp machine and Magpies soft serve was at the top of the list! We headed to this location which I must say, has such an awful parking lot but so does so many other things in this city. After struggling to find a spot, we finally got lucky and headed into this small ice cream parlor. The menu here isn't massive, but offers a decent size soft serve selection as well as a big selection of pies. I'm a simple man, so i stuck with a soft serve cone with two flavours, those being the malted milk chocolate and the cookie butter. The whole experience was super quick and before you know it, we were seated at a bunch outside eating some ice cream. Both flavours tasted good, although I honestly couldn't really tell the difference between the two of them which I started. The ice cream itself was tasty, the cone was good, and I finished my cone with a smile on my face (before also finishing my wife's corn almond ice cream which was solid, but not a flavour for me). Overall, Magpies Softserve scratched that soft serve itch that seems harder and harder to scratch these days. The location wasn't the best with the parking, but that's LA for you. Best ice cream in the city? Nah, but it might be the best soft serve around. read more

Magpies Softserve - Soft serve time. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Los Angeles, California

When you can't decide whether you want ice cream or pie, why not have them both? I'm not talking about the traditional pie a la mode though. Imagine if pies and ice creams have cute kids together. You get magpies. They have many selection and they said you can't go wrong with any of them, and i'm inclined to believe. Heads up, this place is a masterclass in patience and delayed gratification though. The service is prompt and friendly, but the pies are frozen (duh, they are softserve). So plan your meal or prepare yourself of a minimum wait of 37minutes your magpie to soften for maximum enjoyment. And some people will say that 37-planking-minute worth of wait is definitely worth it. The crust is nicely crunchy, the topping is creamy, the soft serve is not too sweet -- which is perfect. I chose milk chocolate something that has cookie on top and for once i enjoyed the cookie more than the crust. With that said, if you are a traditional pie person, this softserve pie is nicely crunchy novelty that is a welcomed variety but will make you hunger for your usual pie. And i'd say that is not a problem at all.. read more

Everything here is delicious. The staff is always great. Any time I'm around the area, stopping by is a MUST. My favorite ice cream flavors are the "corn almond" and "pistachio baklava." Ps. You can you can always ask to sample these flavors! The pie slices are also divine and HUGE. My current favorites are: Mexican Hot Chocolate, The Original Fried Pie, and Cookies & Cream. read more

I would definitely come back and recommend! The ice cream was so good and soft and tasted delicious. The worker was super friendly and nice. The store was very clean and they have a parking lot so it's easy to find a spot! read more

Magpies Softserve - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Stopped in before a show. We both got minis , I got a chocolate malt/ sweet cream swirl. I didn't taste any malt but that's okay. My husband ordered the pog/coconut swirl and ended up throwing it away due to it being not great at all. While the flavors were good, I think the prices were a little steep. Our minis were 6.50 and very mini. It was a $1 to add sprinkles, yikes. It's a clearly popular place with people going in and out while we sat outside and ate. Parking was easy on a Wednesday night but it's small parking lot so the weekends are probably pretty tough. read more

I ordered one of the soft serve of the day options in a cup. I picked the Thai tea & coconut sticky rice swirl. The flavors are vegan and gluten free- love that they have labels on their menu. Great Thai tea flavor and the coconut sticky rice tastes on point just in soft serve form. Service was fast there was one person in front of me in line. read more

Magpies Softserve - Soft serve, Slice of Cookies & Cream Softserve Pie (Vegan) - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Magpies was fantastic, while in the area we tried a few non-dairy ice cream spots and Magpies was our favorite! The friendly staff served us a few samples of the soft serve flavors, and we ultimately chose a couple of their ice cream pies as they combinations and toppings sounded more appealing than soft serve in a cone or cup by itself. We would have enjoyed a little space to sit and eat, but there wasn't any space to sit really just a few standing bar spaces across the wall looking out the front window. We ended up eating in the car in the parking lot. Sure, it felt like we were hiding a secret shame of over indulging on ice cream having to hide out in our car, but for Magpies, I would eat them in a car, I would eat them near or far, I would eat them here or there, I would eat them anywhere. read more

I treated myself to a slice of the cookies and cream pie, and it was absolutely perfect. The texture, the flavor, the layers..everything was spot on. The cream was smooth and light, the chocolate cookie pieces added the perfect crunch, and the whole thing tasted freshly made. You can tell care goes into the desserts here. The portion was generous. This was my birthday treat to myself, and I couldn't have picked a better place. Thank you for making my day a little sweeter. I'll definitely be coming back! read more

My husband surprised me with Magpies Softserve one evening, and I can't believe I've never tried this place before. The original fried magpies softserve is so good. There's these big honeycomb bits and they're so good! It has some sort of fried cereal crunchy on top too that adds more of that texture. We also tried the cookies and cream magpie, and that was so good too. I can kinda tell the softserve part of the pie is vegan, but the whipped cream, chocolate and everything else is very convincingly dairy, and it's so good. These pies also have an extremely satisfyingly thick cookie crust. I would pick this place as my choice of dessert over and over again! read more

Magpies is dangerously addicting so beware !! One of the best things about this place is the constantly rotating menu . The pies are amazing ! For my sisters birthday she decided she wanted a pie and we ended up doing 5 different flavored slices instead of just a single pie and it was the best decision ever !! Their varying selection truly guarantees something good for every taste . The chocolate covered strawberry was a hit ! The chocolatey base was sweet without being overwhelming and the whipped cream is always light fluffy and not too sweet. I would eat a tub of their whipped cream if I could it tastes amazing; a prefect balance between not to sweet. The sugar cookie flavor is also a long time favorite ! There's a lot of whipped cream on that one so I suppose it's not something for everyone, but I swear it tastes just like a cheesecake .The staff is always kind about offering samples and such so you feel at ease navigating so many different flavors and possibilities! Definitely a recommended place despite the 20 mile drive . read more

OMG the pies are the best thing here! The soft serve is pretty good too, but by far it's all about the pies for me! Very charming inside, but no seating area, so keep that in mind. The pies are more frozen and ice cream like so they're perfect for taking on the go and enjoying later too. read more

The best soft serve ice cream in the world!! I am so in love with Magpies. It's the only ice cream I've been having for past few years now. The flavors are superb, the perfect soft texture, not overly sweet, spot hitting delicious goodness...that will keep you up at night wishing -I wish Magpies was open right now. :"-(. My absolute all time fav flavor is a combo of - "Malted milk chocolate" and "sweet cream." I like them side by side, With the toasted almonds. So it's a combo of sweet chocolate, ice cold cream, and crunch crunch crunch. Bite, after bite. Get ready to smack your partners hand, when they try to dip into your ice cream. "Mine only! Get your own!" You will not want to share. Highlights- -Unique flavors -Check menu for seasonal flavors -Ice cream options -side by side or swirled. -They are famous for their magpies (ice cream pies). My bro -loves them. He has to have his fix whenever he's in town. I haven't tried them yet. Premade in fridge. -Outdoor -few stools for outdoor seating. -No indoor seating. -Excellent service everytime. -Private parking lot up front. -In same plaza as crossroad trading. -Across the street from Gelsons. read more

This gem serves great ice cream! It may be called soft serve and may be served from machines but it is excellent tasting ice cream. The elicits are clean, fresh and offer something to everyone even if you have dietary restrictions. The store is clean, welcoming and free samples can be beat. Maybe I was the only one who didn't know the squiggly line next to the flavors meant they can be swirled together....duh; still learning! We opted to share 2 flavors, that weren't swirlable we got malted milk chocolate and let lime. Chocolate was perfect and key lime was creamy and tart. I loved that even in 80 degrees or ice cream didn't melt into a puddle; therefore making the experience great! We weren't forced to eat faster because of the temperature!! I recommend this shop! Great tasting ice cream!! 10/10 read more

I absolutely recommend a honeycomb pie, so good. Getting dessert here is expensive but worth trying them out.

These pie slices are a fun and unique dessert! Personally, the Original Fried Software was too frozen where it wasn't instantly enjoyable and broke our fork- we had to let it sit for awhile before consuming. The Turtle Softserve was delicious and perhaps for better with each bite! I'd certainly get the Turtle again! read more

We went for pie day and didn't know until after we ordered. When we asked if we can get the BOGO but he wouldn't offer it even though we didn't even receive our food yet. The customer service could have been better and was disheartened that they didn't see to really care. They seemed rude about it and could've easily made the situation better. Because of this I will no longer get dessert ever at Magpies. read more

Great service, and a unique concept with a little less guilt due to the vegan options that taste delicious. Fried Ice Cream Pie was amazing. Thank you. Will definitely be back. Parking is tough but not their fault just fyi. read more

Yes the service has always been friendly. Yes they do samples. Yes they're vegan friendly. Yes they have a little IG friendly wall. Ok now can we talk about how ridiculously accurate the flavors are?! I've seen places try to pass off normal chocolate for things like chocolate fudge brownie or flourless chocolate cake, but Magpies delivers on their flavor promises. Also, you can see what flavors they have before you drive over just by checking their website. No more wondering if Key Lime is back on the menu, boys! They also make ice cream pies and serve single slices which, as a lifetime ice cream cake on my birthday kind of a guy, is something I appreciate. read more

I don't typically love softserve, but it's hard to find great vegan versions and Magpies specializes in non-dairy offerings. They also have some nut-free and gluten-free options as well). Most nights they have 2 dairy flavors available, but it definitely skews vegan. Thank you! Let me offer a tip: sample a bunch of softserve flavors at every visit and store your thoughts in the memory bank because you MUST ORDER THE PIES. This is why I come here. They are so damn good, but you need to know which flavors you like the most to make ordering the correct slice easier. So remember: research is critical. They currently have an espresso pie that is epic. If you're having trouble deciding, ask them to steer you towards flavors that feature more yogurt than whipped cream. I find that the ones that are heavier on the cream layer have less flavor and don't hit as hard. Remember to wait a few minutes for them to soften up a little. They don't come cheap, but desserts have sky rocketed in price lately, so it's not so crazy to pay $12 for a slice of pie that should feed 2. My partner and I usually order 2 slices for variety and save the leftovers in the freezer. Enjoy. read more

Nice softserve & pies place. Interesting options that they let you sample. Just a bench outside for seating. Got the Pandan and Malted Milk Chocolate soft serve which was $7.25. Their default soft serve pairings are cheaper (~$6.50). The soft serve was light, and the portion size was great. Nothing extraordinary about the place, but definitely worth a try at least once. It seems to be very popular with the locals. Despite the line, the servers were friendly and patient with questions and flavor samplings. read more

I really love the ice cream here, so I had to come by and try this location! Parking is a bit challenging around this area of Los Feliz, but I got lucky and snagged a parking spot on the street.

There isn't really a place to eat in the store, so you'll have to enjoy it outside! read more

My favorite dairy-free friendly soft serve shop! It's been so hot this summer that I'm here at least once or twice a week. My perfect ice cream is creamy, but also light and refreshing. Magpie Softserve checks all these boxes! I love their seasonal flavors, which are a mix of nutty and fruity flavors. Right now they have mango and strawberry flavors, but my favorite is vanilla bean. (Please make vanilla bean a regular flavor! Pretty pretty please!) They also offer dairy-free soft-serve pies, which are a great alternative to ice cream cakes. There is free parking in the lot, but it's often crowded on the weekends. read more

Honestly I thought the ice cream was kind of basic, but I realized that it's vegan & gluten free ice cream? You know what, for vegan & gluten free ice cream, its pretty good then! It was my first time here and the cashier was really kind to assist me with my samples. There are 4 sizes and the mini size is definitely enough for one person, or at least me. In general, a lot of the ice cream here is also a bit more sweet? I ended up getting the frozen hot chocolate cause that was the most "richest" one and I really enjoyed it! The store inside is very small with no seating available, but there are some stools right outside the store. read more
