Sakura (Cherry Blossom) Ice Cream is back! 🌸🍦

Just in time for cherry blossom season in DC. We imported the ingredients directly from Japan (thank you and ).

Our ice cream is made with real sakura paste, a sakura petal syrup ripple, and actual blossoms throughout. If you’ve never tasted sakura before, the flavor is reminiscent of sweetened sour plum—light, floral, and very spring..

Augustus Jackson revolutionized the way ice cream was made in 1837 with an eggless ice cream known as Philadelphia Style that is widely used today. His original recipes don’t exist, but The Father of Ice Cream freely shared his method with other black business owners so that ice cream would be accessible to everyone. In tribute, we bring you a classic ice cream base (milk, cream, sugar, salt, vanilla), swirled with our favorite classic soul food dessert, Peach Cobbler. As Black History month comes to a close, we want to take a moment and be grateful for the Black innovators that make our business possible, from Augustus Jackson’s Philadelphia style of ice cream we serve, to the ice cream disher invented by Alfred L. Cralle, the first Black man in Pittsburgh to receive his own patent, a precursor to the trigger scoops used today.

Available by the scoop!

THIS FRIDAY JANUARY 30TH 2026, Mount Pleasant’s main street small businesses are speaking out in a coordinated way to stand with solidarity with our immigrant neighbors, friends, family and community. This event will benefit and support AYUDA (), a nonprofit providing comprehensive, low-cost or free legal, social, and language services to low-income immigrants in DC, Maryland, and Virginia, including many of the hospitality workers who make our neighborhood thrive. This event is in lieu of a participation in the national shutdown.

Each participating small business will be donating a portion of Friday’s sales to AYUDA.

✨ Speak out
✨ Shop with purpose

Mount Pleasant is more than a neighborhood. It’s a home fueled by diversity and sustained by immigrants and resilience. Many are feeling powerless in this moment, but this collaboration is a tangible way for our community to come together – neighbors, small business owners, immigrants, citizens – stronger together.
