Rollie Rolls Ice Cream in P ugerville serves up Thai-inspired treats After seeing a trend of rolled ice cream compa- nies gain popularity, Tinia and Leo Le decided to start their own business called Rollie Rolls. The backstory Tinia Le said it took nearly a year to settle on the idea for rolled ice cream. In that time, they went through a series of trial and error. Even now, the process still involves testing new ideas. In opening Rollie Rolls, the couple found a place where community members can come together. With the shop’s proximity to a school, Tinia Le said the business serves students throughout the day and gives them a place to be with friends. “It’s a safe space for them. ...Seeing them all happy and hanging out here is very heartwarming for us,” Tinia Le said. On the menu The shops o ers a variety of avors and combi- nations. Ingredients include matcha, condensed milk and fruits like strawberries and longan. What’s special about it Leo Le said after cooling the shop’s special freezing pans to negative 30 degrees celsius, the in-house ice cream base is poured out, hardened and chopped into pieces. Using scraper tools, the bits of ice cream are then rolled into six neat rolls. “When they see [us] doing this in the air, it triggers something in their brain,” Tinia Le said. “That’s what drew us in as well. We’re like, ‘Let’s bring it to them.’”
The popular menu item at Rollie Rolls, Cherry Blossom, is topped with strawberry popping boba and fresh fruit on top of the shop’s vanilla base.
