Kin, roses & a lot of saffron.
Kinrose is a husband-and-wife creamery — Maria Oveysi, who is Iranian, and Moe Kamal, who is Egyptian — sharing the flavors of two families, one scoop at a time.
“Kin” is family. The rose is for Cafe Rose — where Maria’s mom first served the saffron ice cream that started it all.
From pre-orders to Pasadena.
Two families, one love of dairy
Maria’s mom made a saffron ice cream that became a favorite at the family restaurant, Cafe Rose. Moe’s dad worked with a university dairy plant in Wisconsin. Ice cream was always in the family.
Pints on the porch
Kinrose launched in Los Angeles selling family recipes — with a twist — through local foodie groups, with neighborhood drop-offs and pre-orders.
Catering & Smorgasburg
Weekly regulars led to catering gigs, then a stall at Smorgasburg LA, where lines for sour cherry and fairy floss became a Sunday tradition.
Going viral & opening Mills Place
After a big moment on TikTok, Kinrose opened its first scoop shop in Old Town Pasadena — arches, neon rose, Pac-Man and all.
Encino & beyond
A second shop on Ventura Blvd in Encino, carts and a trailer serving events across SoCal, and new flavors every season.
Made the way family makes it.
Heritage, with a twist
Persian and Egyptian classics — bastani, faloodeh, kunefe, karkaday — reimagined as ice cream.
Small batches
Churned in-house in small runs so every flavor tastes the way it should.
Everyone’s kin
A bright, welcoming spot to share something sweet — and maybe a story from back home.
Bring the rose cart to your party.
Weddings, birthdays, Nowruz, Eid, office treats — we scoop all over Southern California.
