    The roasted strawberry flavor is out of this world!
    Rainbow U.

    Bright interior, no-nonsense- except the joyful nonsense of soft serve treats. Easy to read menu and pricing, display case showing most of their topping options. Many vegan flavors! And fantastic waffle cones. Helpful and cheery assistance from the staff- I asked for a few tasters on my first visit- and I was met with helpful and kind assistance. We shall return!!

    the service is amazing and super friendly! wish i got the name of the guy working wednesday night. he was sweet and very bubbly/helpful. flavors are noticeably vegan unlike awan, and a bit pricier. much sweeter as well, but the flavors are fun and more classic if thats what you're into!

    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!

    Just popped in for some vegan sweet treats and we are not disappointed!! They have vegan allergen friendly options too! The employee who helped us this evening was very kind. They have small bench outside to sit and enjoy your soft serve! Heads up they don't take cash (most places don't) but I noticed it on their door and figured it was worth mentioning!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Slice of Pistachio Baklava Softserve Pie (Vegan) it's good
    Jade L.

    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

    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!

    Soft serve time.

    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.

    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.

    Slice of Vietnamese Coffee Caramel Softserve
    Kristen T.

    I love the Vietnamese coffee pie, especially the cream on top and the caramel. I also liked the mango sticky rice pie but the texture wasn't as creamy since it's vegan, still a delicious flavor tho (more lime than mango)

    If I were to buy a pie for our Christmas Eve dinner, how long could it stay in the car without melting? My daughter's house is about 1-1/2 hours' drive away. Would this be practical?

    I would not recommend it, unless you have a cooler with you. I live about 45 minutes from the nearest Magpies, and I have bought pies to go. By the time I got home, the pie was dangerously close to being melted - it was very soft, for sure. It… 

    I'm allergic to coconut, how can I find which ones contain coconut?

    Are the pies gluten free?

    No, they are not sorry.

    Is there soy in any of the vegan soft serve?

    Pretty sure it's either almond or coconut!

    Is there oil in the corn almond soft serve?

    No added oils. They crush the corn flakes and the residue likely enters into the "cream"

    Is there soy in the vegan pie?

    No, no soy in their vegan pie. Corn almond soft serve, graham crust, layered with vegan fudge,… 

    What non diary base do u use?

    Depends on the flavor, either coconut (used for their ube coconut and vegan chocolate peanut butter) or almond (used for their pistachio and corn almond).

She chose a small cup of Sprinkle Cake with a sugar cone, and she was over the moon. The team working there was incredibly kind and patient with her, which made the experience even better. She took one bite and said the ice cream was "wicked good." She's officially a fan. McConnell's made her day, and that alone makes it worth the stop.

Then, an eternity ago, it closed and we were sad. Then Long Beach Creamery opened and we weren't that sad for that long, but still, I absolutely still thought about them every once in a while, sad that they'd left. Then, a much closer eternity ago (about a year ago - I've been super burned-out and not finishing my reviews), I was on my way from an event back to the blue line and walked by and noticed that they had, in fact, just moved. So obviously we had to get some. Verdict - yes, it absolutely was as good as I remembered. I wouldn't go back to DTLA just for ice cream, Long Beach Creamery being walking distance and wonderful, but I would absolutely stop here if I were back in DTLA and wanted ice cream. It's a bit pricey, but all craft ice cream is going to be, and it is definitely craft. And you can save a lot by getting a 3-scoop, which is very much enough to share for two people, if not slightly too much.

They have so many locations and only wish they had more. The closest to me is about 20mins away but it's worth the drive every time. I love this location especially. Always such friendly staff and never have to wait in a long line. Basically, if you're a newbie, you go in and ALWAYS as for the "seasonal flavors" for tasting. They give you tasters on silver spoons and you drop it down this hole when you're done. It's literally their culture to give you a taste of everything on their seasonal menu so don't skip out on this experience. It's the best way to try their ice cream. FUN FACT: they also have 1-2 flavors that are considered "last chance" flavors which means they are about to run out so get it before it's gone. Each month I go in to try another tasty flavor and it never disappoints but I am sometimes that girl who tries the new stuff but ends up getting her usual order (chocolate brownie) and am always happy. Just the smell of sugar cone alone when you walk in gets you hooked. The atmosphere is just so welcoming. Don't be intimidated by the many flavors to choose from because there are a lot. I like to get their double scoop in a waffle cone, but they also have awesome split scoop options for those more adventurous and want to try multiple flavors in one scoop. Saves you for when you're keeping your sugar levels down. There are usually always places to sit inside or outside so you can enjoy your goodies right away.
