The fourth halo halo in our exploratory series is a vibrant homage to a classic Filipino flavor, pandan. In Filipino culture, pandan is a traditional and deeply comforting flavor. Often called the sister to ube— and she is stunning— pandan carries a fragrance that’s softly sweet, a little nutty, and beautifully unique. It is one of those flavors that’s hard to describe and truly impossible to imitate. For Filipinos, it transports us to special family gatherings (like birthday parties) and memories of simple everyday moments like merienda (our snack time).

Our take pairs pandan with coconut (two flavors often found together in Filipino cuisine). Youll find a halo halo layered with macapuno, housemade pandan jelly, brown sugar crystal boba, coconut nata de coco jelly, and crunchy cereals over pandan milk and shaved ice. It is finished with a scratch-made coconut tuile cookie bite, a traditional wafer stick, then topped with two scoops of creamy buko pandan ice cream.

Available for dine-in and to go. Dairy or vegan (without certain ingredients).

After years of being lovingly mispronounced, we’ve decided why fight it? LEAN IN.

Starting today, Sampaguita will officially be known as Sahm-puh-gwee-tuh.

New name, same us but with just with a lil extra ✨gwee✨.

Don’t worry, we’ll still respond if you say it the old way.

Our namesake flavor, Sampaguita, took a lot of planning, reflection, and feeling. It needed to live up to its literal name (jasmine), carry the meaning of “I promise you,” and also stay grounded in a core memory of my life. I wanted a flavor that felt as gentle and meaningful as the promise of sampaguita: something delicate and comforting. I also wanted something uniquely captured in ice cream like never before yet still familiar to the palate.

I thought of a dessert my mom used to make for me as a kid: a milky jelly with almond essence and lychee fruit (specifically from a can), mixed together with ice cubes. I knew I wanted to capture this memory in ice cream. This flavor is especially meaningful to me as it represents maternal love, one of the first and most profound loves we experience in life.

With every scoop, I hope you taste the love and intention behind it

Hi 👋 We’re Marie and Mo, the owners of Sampaguita.

We’ve been a couple since 2014 and we opened our first business, The Greenery Creamery, together in 2018. This is how we feel about working together:

Marie: “We are two sides of the same coin. We work really well with each other and fill in each others gaps. I get to experience the highs and lows of life and business with one of my favorite people. He gets it; he gets me. Not everyone can have (or wants) that dual relationship. We have intense trust in each other to carry out responsibilities.”

Mo: “It’s fun”

If you’ve ever stopped by one of our shops, thank you 🫶 It truly means everything to us.

We hope to introduce a little bit more about ourselves from time to time!
