Magpies Softserve

Love the vegan soft serve here, comes in very unique flavors and is creamy and doesn't melt too fast like vegan soft serve can sometimes. They also have a lot of fun toppings. I wasn't a huge fan of the pies because everything gets a bit samey and overwhelming when you start mixing the toppings together like that, but highly recommend the ice cream.

Loved the vegan ube flavor. The Pies look so amazing! I cannot believe it is vegan and many times also gluten-free! And it's great that they are open till so late! Awesome. The young man serving us felt like he is unhappy to do his job. He was not rude but clearly not serving happily, which is a bit shame.

THIS IS A MAGICAL WONDERLAND FOR DAIRY FREE AND VEGAN FOLK. Thank you times a million for existing. Also the staff member was super helpful because we were incredibly undecided! And I absolutely love that there are lots of nostalgic flavors and combos. I haven’t been able to have a vanilla caramel drumstick in forever — I couldn’t believe that what we were eating was vegan!! Bless you, bless you all.

Best vegan soft serve hands down! We ordered the swirl Corn and Mexican chocolate softserve- so good! Not too sweet, the flavors complement each other, and the Mexican chocolate is spiced but not spicy. We also ordered the Maple Pecan Pie and the pecan flavor definitely came through without being overpowered by the salty topping.

On the evening of November 18th, we were served by extremely helpful and friendly staff. The ice cream was amazing, and most of the menu offered vegan options. Highly Recommended Spot!

A great spot to get dessert after dinner or lunch. I would recommend getting an ice cream instead of the pie. I ended up getting their signature Magpie and like another reviewer said, it was tough to get through due to it being hard to chew and it being too sweet. It was $10 ($9.75) for the pie and not worth the price, in my opinion. We also got the ice cream cone and the flavors were delicious.

Really enjoy all their vegan options.

My girlfriend and I ordered the maple banana x midnight dark chocolate and the cornflake x apple pie swirls. Each flavor tasted exactly like the actual product. My taste buds were genuinely confused for a minute because of how accurate the flavors were. We demolished our ice cream while sitting on the curb since there were no chairs available. Finding street parking was a bit difficult to find so that might be the only downside of this location.

After getting seafood boil nearby, we were able to find this cute dessert place that offered tons of unique flavors. We got the fig and honey swirl with honeycomb candy topping (so good!) and the orange creamsicle/strawberry banana swirl. They seem to have a variety of pies as well if you're craving that instead. There's some inside seating and some outside seating if you're able to sit. Parking isn't easy though, much better to get there by walking if possible. A sweet place to end our day, would love to try some of their other flavors next time.

Food: Cool concept of an ice cream pie! We ordered the original fried soft serve pie, on the pricier side ($11 for a slice). I appreciated how the ice cream actually tasted like corn and liked the crunchiness of the corn flakes topping. The slice is layered well with a graham crust, chocolate syrup on the bottom, a fat layer of "honeycomb", and a bunch of whip cream on top. Overall good, but all the flavors were a bit too sweet. Honeycomb layer was hard to eat. Service: Staff were friendly here! :) Ambiance: Only 2 tables inside and some tables outside, so it may be better for a grab and go situation. Very clean and modern feel!

We love Magpies Softserve Pies!! If you haven't tried them yet, you should! Our usual location to visit is in Silverlake, off of Griffith Park Blvd. That is their original location. We had never been to this location, so we thought we'd check it out. I'm so happy we did! Parking can be a challenge. Seems to be all metered. There are lots of businesses along this stretch of York Blvd in Highland Park. We found a spot and walked to the the shop. It is open and airy. The tables are bright yellow and everything else is black & white. I was really happy to see there were a couple of tables inside. I didn't really want to eat my ice cream outside. There are some patio tables & chairs outside for those who do. The lady behind the counter was helpful and we briefly chatted before ordering. It wasn't very busy, maybe only a customer or two at a time. She had our order out in no time. We took a good look at the menu boards to see what we wanted. We settled on a slice of the Strawberry Softserve Pie. It is a Strawberry Rhubarb softserve layered with housemade rhubarb jam, brown sugar coffee cake, whipped cream, brown sugar crumble in a graham cracker crust. OMGosh, it is out of this world! You can buy a slice for $10.95 or the whole pie for $49.95 whole pie. I probably could have polished off the entire pie (over time) with no regrets! We only bought a slice and shared it. We have tried other pies, but my favorite is their Original Fried Softserve Pie. I love the honeycomb pieces throughout! Hubby equally enjoys the pies, however, he really loves soft-serve. We got the Egg Nog & Graham Cracker Swirl for $6.25. The Graham Cracker Swirl overpowered the Egg Nog, so we didn't think it was a very good flavor combination. You can get the soft-serve swirled with 2 flavors that are indicated with a squiggly line connecting the flavors or 2 separate flavors, or just one flavor. They have weekly flavors. You can buy Pints to take home, too! They also have toppings which are housemade! Like I said, I love their honeycomb! There are some unique toppings like Butterscotch Rice Krispies and Brown Sugar Oats. The next time we go to Magpies, I'm going to suggest we only come here. The distance is practically the same (far!), but it's worth it to me to be able to enjoy my ice cream inside the shop.

Their pies are always so good! We got the ube pie and the banana cream pie. The ube pie was my favorite since the soft serve, cream and pie crust all blended well together. The crust was more of a dark chocolate tasting pie crust. There was a good balance between all of those elements. The flavor of ube and banana in the pies were both subtle. The banana cream pie was on the sweeter side and tasted more like vanilla soft serve with graham crackers but it was decent! Although there was a line at 10 pm, service was fast and we got our orders quickly. I prefer their location in silver lake since there are less people, but this location is bigger and had more seating, both indoor and outdoor.

Loved the soft serve pies! I ordered the banana pudding and espresso chocolate. Both had the perfect balance of soft serve and pie! They were just the right amount of sweet. Individual slices are a bit expensive, but overall a great way to try different flavors. Will definitely be back for more!

I ordered the whole Original Fried Softserve Pie and it's vegan with nuts, for a dinner birthday celebration. Pick up was quick and I was in n out within less than 5 minutes. I first tried their soft serve ice cream at their Silverlake location a few years ago and loved it, so I was excited to try this "pie" for the first time. It had layers with a flavor something that is like toffee (not really sure what it is). I love the nutty crust of the pie. I was also lucky enough to find parking right in front of the store!

It was my first time at Magpies Soft Serve, and seeing they had soft serve, I had to come! They offer an impressive variety of vegan ice cream, perfect for my lactose-intolerant friends. Ordering is a breeze with their kiosks, where you can select and pay for your ice cream before picking it up. The seating options both inside and outside make it a comfortable spot to enjoy your treat. The staff was nice and helpful, gladly sharing their favorite flavors when we asked. I chose the malted milk chocolate and brownie batter--anything with chocolate has my name written all over it. My boyfriend opted for the Thai tea with passion fruit orange. We both thoroughly enjoyed our ice cream, making it a perfect dessert after dinner. Magpies Soft Serve is a delightful find, and I can't wait to return!

We ordered the original and the cookies and cream. Hands down the best slice of heaven!!! We all agreed the original was by far the best!!! This is my go to now for any occasion we have to bring a dessert. Highly recommend you try their pies...out of this world!

Parking: Busy street parking / cheap parking lot available behind the store Ambience: Brightly colored with decent amount of seating available both indoors and outdoors. There are plenty of pie and soft serve options to select from. You order via tablets on the right side of the store upon entering. Service: Friendly, but can be a bit slow depending on how busy it gets Taste: Have tried the pistachio pie as well as the original fried softserve pie, both of which are quite good but flavors / consistencies of all the ingredients feel a bit off (e.g. large pieces of honeycomb a bit too sweet compared to the rest of the pie). However, the soft serves themselves are really great, the fried candied cornflakes are an amazing topping, and I'd still like to come back to try the other flavors!

The best vegan soft serve in Los Angeles! They switch out their flavors regularly so if you see a flavor you like posted on their website and on Instagram, go ASAP. Last time I asked they keep rotating flavors for about one week. You're only allowed to taste two flavors so choose wisely. Some staff are nice, some are kind of brusque. No restrooms, street parking only which can be hit or miss.

I went in out of the blue to order a pie. Little did I know that the pies were ice cream pies... the lady who helped me that night did not tell me to place the pice in the FREEZER. She had just told me to place it in the Fridge I did so and the next day the pice was not solid and I did not enjoy the pie I spend 50 something dollars for.

Mexican hot chocolate pie?! Was too much of a foodie fever dream to believe at first, but split a $10 slice with a friend. Although the graham cracker crust was delicious, the soft serve was pretty frozen through and a bit bland. Not sure if this applies to all their pies, not sure if I'd go for it again. Service was very quick and the restaurant was spotless though!

Yet another place that proves that dairy isn't needed to make great ice cream! We stopped in Magpies and ordered a pumpkin pie and graham cracker swirl Soft serve at their self-ordering kiosk. It was ready mere seconds after we sat down, so speedy. And it. Was. Delicious! This is probably some of the best soft serve I've ever had. As a dairy eater, I was shocked that it was vegan!! The interior has a few cute yellow tables where you can enjoy your order. Can't wait to visit again next time I'm in the area!

Undoubtedly one of thee best dessert spots. Ive tried almost every ice cream pie slice and im never disappointed. I will def keep trying new flavors and enjoying delicious ice-cream pies... make sure you order more than 1... you will not want to share.

I can't really say I love it. It's very pricey for ice cream or ice cream cake. I got the ice cream cake and it was not worth the price! None of my kids ate it! Took one bite and on trash. The cookie part was so hard it was t chewable and the flavor wasn't the best. I can't really say anything about service because I ubereat the ice cream and cake. Would I try again? No

I love ice cream and pies so this place is like heaven to me. All their flavors are premade so the service is also very fast. I only tried the cookie butter but it was delicious. It's basically ice cream as the filling of a pie, so pie crust and whipped cream with ice cream inside. It got pretty sweet for me after a while, so I'm glad I shared with a friend. She could've easily ate the whole thing, though, so it just depends on how sweet you like your desserts.

I was out with my darling gals and they wanted to stop in at Magpies, so I treated them to a slice of the Softserve Pie. One got the Birthday Cake. I don't remember which one my other friend selected. It might have bee the Brownie Softserve. They both said that while they enjoyed the pies they were on the sweet side. I stopped by a few weeks later with my nephew, and he wanted the Strawberry Shortcake Softserve Pie. It contained strawberry softserve layered with vanilla pound cake & strawberry compote, topped with whipped cream & shortcake crumble in a graham cracker crust. Even though a slice is a bit pricey ($9.95), the serving size is generous. I cut a piece so I could analyze it. I liked the graham cracker crust. The vegan strawberry softserve was creamy and had a nice strawberry flavor. The whipped cream was light on the sweetness, the vanilla pound cake was moist, and the strawberry compote was on the sweeter side. As a whole, I agree that the pies are sweeter than just having softserve. If you have a sweet tooth, then you will love the pies. If you prefer less sweet, then the softserve is a better option. All flavors are made in house. Vegan, dairy, gluten free, & non-dairy softserve options are available, and the flavors change weekly. A majority of the pies are vegan. *Pints are available. *Self-ordering kiosk. *Metered street & residential parking.

I'll keep it short and simple. I first tried them about a year ago at a food event. Next I know - I got addicted to their pies and soft serve. I honestly have not had a pie here that I did not like and all they soft serves are amazing. My favorites are the white coffee and milk and honey. Space is cool and the service was really friendly and fast. Parking may be difficult in the area but worth a try!

There are few flavors that are my favorites like Sweet Cream, Corn Almond, and Roasted Strawberry but the Hot Honey is my least favorite. The pies are always delicious and I highly recommend the Banana Cream pie.

I loveeee soft serve, even over ice cream so Magpies is definitely a treat since there aren't as many soft serve places. The soft serve here is more firm and icy, but the toppings are what really take them from a 3 to 4 star. I used to always recommend the honeycomb to others bc I haven't had anything like it anywhere else, but I tried the butterscotch Rice Krispies yesterday and it was so good, better than the honeycomb! Parking is a bit tough at this location. No space inside to enjoy your cold treat, but there were some small pockets of space to hang out outside. It's a bit on the pricier end now, so definitely a treat and not an everyday splurge!

Discovered a vegan pie that taste amazing! The Original Fried Softserve Pie was delicious, all the flavors and textures blended nicely. The corn almond soft serve with the honeycomb, fudge, fried candied cornflakes and the graham cracker crust was a delightful explosion of sweetness. The Cookies and Cream Softserve Pie was also great. Definitely coming back to try other flavors and enjoy the original.

Rocky Road and the mint pies are soo good. Really doesn't seem like anything is bad at Magpies.

Came for some after dinner dessert and got the soft serve. The Corn & Almond was delicious and tasted like a mix of frosted corn flakes and captain crunch cereal. It was the perfect amount of sweetness and really creamy. Even though I don't have dietary restrictions, this flavor is vegan. They have other flavors that are non-dairy and gluten free as well, so there's something for everyone! They also sell pints of their ice cream. Their flavors change consistently so I'll be back to try other ones. Love that there are Asian flavor options such as Thai tea and Vietnamese Coffee. Service was friendly and quick, and I like that you can order quickly at a kiosk. They have a couple of tables both inside and outside to enjoy your dessert. Will definitely be back!

Best soft serve ice cream and pie I have had so far. The only thing I hope to see next time is a water station that can be offered since it is a dessert place. They sell bottled water but it would be great if there is refillable water available. Other than that, it is one of the best dessert spots in LA!

Craving dessert after dinner, we walked around Griffith Park boulevard and happened upon Magpies. We were a party of three and decided to share one slice of their "Original Fried Softserve Pie" (~$10/slice). There were a lot of different types of pies and soft serve flavors, but what caught our eye was how the "Fried Softserve Pie" had a unique corn almond soft serve paired with honeycomb & fudge. The slice of pie was a good size and very sweet, so it was good we were sharing as I could only eat a few bites. For those who like very sugary desserts, this is your place. The fried softserve pie had a mix of textures which added to the overall experience: cold soft serve, sticky sweet honeycomb, crunchy cornflake topping. All in all, If you're in the area and want something really sweet, try Magpies. * Food: 4/5 stars * Parking: 3/5 stars * Ambience: 3/5 stars * Price: 3/5 stars * Value: 4/5 stars This place has only street parking. Tip: park in the neighborhoods parallel to Griffith Park boulevard as it might be easier to find a parking spot. There are several tables inside and outside to eat dessert. The staff was polite and kept the place clean.

The corn almond soft serve with butterscotch rice krispies is my go-to every single time. Honestly I could eat a whole cup of the butterscotch krispies by itself. The serving sizes are pretty good - I usually get a mini-cup and it's enough for me. There's seating outside on high-top tables and it's a fun place to people watch in Highland Park.

Perfect for a hot day. We got a mini cup with a swirl of golden graham and yuzu honey. Good combo. A Firm soft serve. A few tables inside and it's nice and cool. Service was friendly and patient while we tried to decide what flavor to get.

It's fine? honestly for $7 I thought it would be amazing. but it's very meh. And and extra $1 for sprinkles. really I'd rather just go to Fosters. And I don't k ow how long the napkin had been wrapped around the cone but the paper stuck and so I couldn't eve eat the cone. : /

I can always go for some good ol' soft serve. Stumbled across this little shop after having dinner at Joy. First time here and next time I will have the soft serve pie. Service was quick and easy, you just place your order on the screen and they'll have your order ready rather quickly.

I love that they have a range in the vegan options available and do samples! That makes me more reassured in my choice. The vanilla malted shake soft serve wasn't too sweet and I could taste the vanilla. I didn't think I would like the Softserve pies since the idea was so odd to me, but I actually really enjoyed the Key Lime and Brownie Softserve pies. It just made sense somehow. The crust on the Key Lime pie was divine.

I frequented Magpies silver lake a lot once a upon a time, and excitedly brought my in-laws to this location yesterday (4/6) around 7:45pm. The gentleman working the front at that time made us feel like we were inconveniencing him the entire time. There were no other parties behind us, but we felt rushed and every thing that came out of our mouths was just met with a glare. It was just so bizarre. I didn't think we were being disrespectful or difficult. I was so turned off by it all that I just placed my order using the iPad/screen thing on the wall because I couldn't take another "who tf do you think you are"-glare from him. It was my family's first time and they had only an ok experience and probably won't return. Was almost a little embarrassed to have talked up this place so much only to be met with such subpar service. ‍

When I discovered soft serve pies from Magpies, it was a life changing experience! Most of their soft serve pies are vegan, which is so amazing for my dairy intolerance. I tried almost all of the vegan soft serve pies but my favorite is their original. I can't describe how delicious the original fried soft serve pie is. Each bite of the pie is heavenly - the corn almond soft serve with bits of honeycomb, fudge, and fried candied cornflakes is a beautiful combination of flavors in your mouth. It's just pure bliss. They also have so many interesting dairy/vegan soft serve flavors to enjoy on the spot or to take home in pints. And their vegan honeycomb topping is marvelous... get it, you won't regret it. Street parking can be a bit hard to find on York but there is Lot 668 on Ave 51 and Meridian which is $0.50/hour enforced Mon-Sun 7am-9pm. Also Magpies is a cashless establishment.

Hey went here last night for the first time in person. I wanted to sample all 10 flavor of their soft serve as it is quite a drive for me. I was helped by Nicole and she was not very helpful. She said she could only give 2 or maybe 3 samples according to store policy. She seemed mildly uncomfortable, never smiled and then went to tell her coworker about the situation. Her coworker was a lot nicer. Had a big smile, was very polite. It just felt like she was either new or didn't want to be at work. Either way it wasn't such a pleasurable experience for me. I absolutely love their pie and even though It's pricey it's worth it. I'm not sure if I'll go back to this location. Maybe the other two have better customer service.

Delicious soft serve ice cream and great service. Greet escape on a hot hot day! Thank you for working on Labor Day.

First time trying their soft serve and it was a hit with my friends. You have to get their toppings which makes all the difference. The flavor selection is nice and varied. Easy and convenient to order at kiosk.

I had this place bookmarked for a while and was really excited to try it. Went with my family and we all ordered something different to try. In short, I didn't like any of them. The pies were dense and too rich in flavor. Probably won't be returning. I gave them stars for their kind service.

What a better way to officially welcome the Summer with an ice cream. Without further delay let's do this exquisite ice cream shop review. Magpies Softserve is a scratch recipe soft serve dessert shop in York blvd in Highland Park section of LA. This shop is located in a retail plaza whereby parking is limited. Its my first time visiting their ice cream shop in HP but have been to their Silver Lake location. I came today, a warm Friday late afternoon, to cool off my tired body. Interior layout and decor were simple with very spacious; no indoor dining/seats but there are few front outdoor seats. I perused their menu and decided to get a regular cup with two flavored swirls: Ube and Malted Milk Chocolate with Hazelnut waffers topping. Moreover, what I like about their ice cream is that they make their soft serve mix and all toppings in house. And they have VG and Gluten free dairy. They have soft pies as well. Shortly, I received my flavored twin swirl. And they're rich in thiccness and smooth flavorful swirl unlike no other dessert I have tasted; scoop after scoop after scoop like an elated teenage boy. Lol. CPI: Fair within market price. Staff: Professional and cordial. Service: On point. Overall, I am more than satisfied with my twin swirl! I guess I have been soft served. I highly recommend this ice cream shop.

Price point: Borderline Prohibitive. You can thank the crazy rents charged in HP. Quality: Quite excellent. What's missing: I truly believe the cardboardy tasteless cones they use at old school soft serve places are the best cone for any soft serve. Why should the cone be sweet? A neutral, flavorless cone really lets the ice cream flavor speak. And the texture is a better foil for the creaminess of soft serve.

This is a really unique shop since it serves vegan soft serve alongside their dairy options. I really like coming in for a slice of their original soft serve pie which is vegan! It sure doesnt taste that vegan when im chowing down but it hits the spot each time. Its very sweet but it keeps really well in the freezer so i sneak a few bites everyday until its gone! It has a lot of different textural things going on and the honeycomb stays crunchy despite being the freezer for a week. Tho word of warning. It is a sweet sweet treat and something i would recommend either sharing or taking home and enjoying slowly.

This place has the very best soft serve ice cream. I got the vanilla bourbon soft serve and it really tasted like bourbon. Unfortunately, they change their flavors every 2 weeks, so if you become attached to a particular flavor, you're outta luck. Still, this place has the best soft serve.

My friend has had this on her must try list for so long, we finally made the trek out to try it! I had the cream-chocolate malt soft serve in a cup topped with graham cracker strudel. As for my friend, she had the strawberry shortcake soft serve pie. The cream-chocolate malt soft serve was amazing! I love soft serve and this one had a smoother, creamier texture than I'm used to. From the two bites of strawberry shortcake soft serve pie I've tried, it was also amazing! It tastes just like the ice cream bar in pie form with a huge layer of strawberry soft serve.

Nice staff- they were cool with samples and explanations but the vegan soft serve was so sugary - I just would never bother again .

Stopped by here after lunch at troys up the blvd. Was catching up with a friend from out of town. We were very lucky and had a group of people who were also visiting for the first time so all of our questions got answered through observation. The person working there was super friendly and helpful. Guiding us to some final decisions and needless to say the reviews are in point, we even took a slice of pie home. Check this place out if you're in the mood for a modern twist on a classic.

This place is insane. The best vegan ice cream and dessert concept. Super satisfying, I ordered a slice of strawberry shortcake, banana split, and original corn almond omg they were all to die for. I will de finely y order a whole pie next time because everyone wanted more. The topping on the strawberry shortcake was like the ice cream crumble topping and it really took it to another level. I didn't get to try banana split because my husband devoured it lol and the original fried pie was the true star of the show. Amazing. From the ice cream to the crumble in the center it was all to die for. I strongly recommend.

One of my all time favorite ice cream shops that I go to for vegan soft serve ice cream (me, being lactose intolerant) whenever I go to L.A. I like how they change their flavors every week, so you can always try something new or revisit flavors. Great customer service and clean!

Vegan soft-serve that isn't lacking in creaminess or flavor? Yes please! My first time there, I decided to go with something simple: Honey soft serve with pralines. I don't quite know how to describe why I was so blown away by the flavor-- I guess I just expected the honey flavor to be subtle, but it was so prominent but at the same time not too sweet. The pralines were the perfect compliment. Pro-tip: They're delicious, but the pie slices are frozen pretty solid. Don't eat them there. Take them home. The trip will give them a little time to defrost.

My girlfriend and I ordered the maple banana x midnight dark chocolate and the cornflake x apple pie swirls. Each flavor tasted exactly like the actual product. My taste buds were genuinely confused for a minute because of how accurate the flavors were. We demolished our ice cream while sitting on the curb since there were no chairs available. Finding street parking was a bit difficult to find so that might be the only downside of this location.

Super unique and delicious non-dairy flavors! Most of their soft serves are made with an almond/oat milk base so it's perfect for all the lactose intolerant or vegan people! The mini was the perfect size and you can get the pre-set swirls on the menu. The graham streusel added a sweet, cinnamony finish which I loved. My favorites are the corn almond & chocolate banana. The dirty chai is also pleasant! The pumpkin pie was good for a few bites, then it got a tad too heavy. I love how they have so many options and offer non -dairy bases. Will def be back to try the pies and diff flavors!

The pie is a fun novelty but the ice cream in the pie is not soft serve like I was expecting. It's pretty hard and hard to eat. But it's fun and tastes good.
