MAPLE ADVENTURE CRUNCH
We partnered with legendary Josey Baker, our neighbor at The Mill on Divisadero St., to deconstruct their iconic Adventure Bread and incorporate every single ingredient into this flavor. Creamy maple ice cream is swirled with almond butter and studded with a crunchy-chewy maple brittle of toasted oats, sunflower, sesame, and flax seeds. Vermont maple syrup from Josey’s hometown brings deep warmth and sweetness. Made without wheat, just like the bread, it’s nutty, toasty, and built to fuel your next adventure!
A BAKER'S PATH: FROM FIRST LOAF TO FULL CIRCLE
Before founding Josey Baker Bread, Josey was working in education, spending long days at a desk. Craving something more hands-on and connected, he turned to baking, first at home for his friends and neighbors, then delivering loaves by bike across San Francisco to a rapidly growing customer base. What began as a side project soon became something bigger, grounded in curiosity, generosity, and his love of feeding people.
Bi-Rite Market was Josey’s very first wholesale partner, back when he was still biking bread across the city. Raph Mogannam, our category sales manager, brought him on board convinced by the great quality, flavor, and dedication, and hasn’t stopped selling his organic bread loaves ever since. That relationship has grown alongside his business, from those early deliveries to the thriving bakery and café he co-owns today, The Mill, where organic whole grains are milled fresh daily and bread is baked with care and intention, a few houses down from Bi-Rite Market on Divisadero St.
Adventure Bread has been part of that story from the early days. Rather than try and mimic gluten, Josey set out to create a gluten-free loaf that would stand out: dense and nutrient-rich, packed with oats, seeds, nuts, and with maple syrup from his home state of Vermont. Preservative free yet designed to travel well, to sustain, and to offer lasting energy for every “adventure”.
For this collaboration, we took that same energy and transformed it into ice cream. Every ingredient in Adventure Bread finds its way into the pint, reimagined by Kris Hoogerhyde, through her deep flavor knowledge as co-founder of Bi-Rite Creamery. The seeds and oats are toasted and spun into a maple-kissed brittle, adding crunch and depth, while almond butter weaves through a creamy maple base for richness and balance. The result is a flavor that feels unexpected, it’s nutty and toasty, yet sweet, with bits of texture that unfold with every spoonful. It’s a reflection of Josey’s approach to breadmaking: simple ingredients, handled with love, coming together to create something delicious.

PAST COLLABORATIONS
MOROCCAN CARAMEL SWIRL WITH RAS EL HANOUT
Gayle and John of Foreign Cinema joined us to create a warmly spiced flavor inspired by their Mediterranean influenced cuisine and love of sensory storytelling. Together with their chef Ahmad, they crafted a custom ras el hanout blend, a complex Moroccan medley of 11 spices—cardamom, star anise, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, fennel seeds, coriander seeds, allspice, lavender, sumac, and turmeric—which we infuse into a golden caramel swirl winding through creamy vanilla ice cream. Each scoop evokes a cinematic journey to Marrakesh, with a different spice revealing itself to each person for a unique and wondrous experience.
APRICOT NOYAUX CARAMEL
We partnered with Samin Nosrat to create a flavor that celebrates the delicate essence of noyaux, the aromatic kernel hidden inside apricot pits, which gives the ice cream a subtle almond like flavor. Swirls of floral apricot jam and shards of burnt caramel add brightness and bittersweet crunch to every scoop. Samin—cook, teacher, and James Beard Award-winning author of Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat and the newly released Good Things—infused this delightful ice cream with her joyful curiosity and love for the magic that happens when people gather to eat, laugh, and connect.
CARROT CAKE EXTRAVAGANZA
Shuggie’s very own David and Kayla built their restaurant to fight food waste, turning overlooked ingredients into unforgettable dishes. Inspired by their signature dessert we crafted this flavor together, folding housemade carrot cake pieces into walnut butter ice cream, sweetened with dates, and brightened with a pineapple swirl. Upcycled walnuts, though slightly imperfect in appearance, find new life in every scoop. At Shuggie’s, every bite helps save the planet—and we’re honored to be part of this mission! #FightFoodWaste
PAIN SUISSE CROISSANT
Patrick and Joanna of Le Marais teamed up with us to create a unique ice cream inspired by their iconic pastry. Housemade croissant bits are folded into rich vanilla custard with swirls of Guittard chocolate, delivering a buttery, flaky crunch and decadent sweetness that captures the essence of their Pain Suisse. Born and trained in France, Patrick brought truly authentic French pastries to San Francisco, and this flavor creatively marries Le Marais' pastry artistry with the craft of our delightful, classic ice cream. #ShowUsYourScoops
SWEET UME PLUM
Celebrated for their intense fragrance, ume plums were brought to California by immigrants from Japan. Ripe, blushing ume from the Central Valley are cured in sugar for months until a floral, mildly acidic syrup develops. The syrup is then incorporated into our (classic) ice cream recipe. We worked with Sylvan, Rintaro’s owner, to create this delicate sweet-tart flavor, applying the same process used for Rintaro's housemade umeshu liqueur – a centerpiece at his Mission District restaurant.

To celebrate Souvla’s 10-year anniversary, we collaborated on an exceptional flavor honoring the delights of our Greek neighbor's kitchen.

Here's to many more years of Souvla and Bi-Rite serving our community and making it nice!
