They say April is the cruelest month, but, if it means local food and drink establishments offering specials like lemon meringue pie cupcakes (Trophy Cupcakes) and Chocolate Caramel Potato Chip Cupcake ice cream (Salt and Straw), we’d say it’s pretty okay. We’ve gathered all the seasonal specials available this month in one convenient place, so you can scheme which ones to try before they’re gone. We’ll update this list throughout April as more specials are announced, so make sure to check back—and, if you’re looking for more inspiration, be sure to check out our complete food & drink calendar.
Note: Availability may vary. Call ahead to check to ensure specials are still available.
Bluebird Ice Cream
Easter is over, but you can still indulge in a Caramel Creme Egg flavor from the microcreamery: “a deconstruction of our favorite Easter candy; caramel and sweet creme ice creams with fine chocolate shavings,” available for a limited time.
Central District Ice Cream
For April only, the ice cream company is offering the following lineup of its characteristically delicious and distinct flavors: chocolate munchies (an ode to Momofuku Milk Bar “cookie queen” Christina Tosi, with coffee, kettle chips, butterscotch, pretzels, graham crackers, oatmeal, sesame and chia); vanilla bean creme brulée (vanilla bean custard ice cream with bruléed sugar pieces); lavender chocolate chip (lavender-infused ice cream with dark chocolate chips); blue raspberry basil (blue raspberry ice cream swirled with basil ice cream); coffee brownie batter (coffee ice cream with dark chocolate brownie batter); rhubarb mimosa (champagne ice cream swirled with rhubarb compote); matcha oreo (matcha ice cream with Oreo pieces); and buko pandan (coconut pandan leaf ice cream with macapuno).
