Long Beach Creamery

It was an extreeeeemely hot day so all I knew was that I needed some sweet and cold substance to consume, pronto! I checked and I was less than a mile away from this place. SCORE!
First, parking. The spots were pretty tight and the parking lot was quite small. Luckily I snagged the last spot, thanks to the three cars or so that took up two spots each. Ain’t nothing standing between me and the ice cream!
The service was really really good. The people working there were friendly and informative. I’m all for homemade ice cream, but we were also informed that the ice cream was organic and locally sourced using fresh ingredients. I love that. Support local!
Burnt caramel– not too sweet, as caramel normally is. Perfect flavor!
Horchata– it had a nice refreshing cinnamon kick to it.
Caramel Apple– my absolute fave of the ones I tried! There were real chunks of Apple!
Chocolate sorbet– so choco and good. I love dark chocolate but don’t like chocolate ice cream normally as I feel that it isn’t truly chocolate, just chocolate flavored. This stuff was rich but bomb-​diggity. It also melted the fastest as it was a sorbet.
Minus one star for the prices as they are quite high. I had to compare it to my very favorite ice cream spot (Bi-​Rite Creamery), and it was a bit
more than there. It was very very delish though. I will be back to try all the other flavors I missed out on this time!

The staff here is very friendly and very informative. They gave me a run down of every flavor they had to what they put in it and to who their local suppliers were.
There’s a lot of dedication into crafting their icecream and it shows!
I got a small scoop of Burnt Carmel and Whiskey Icecream. These two plus midnight oolong are their signature favors. The whiskey icecream has a hint of whiskey flavor with real vanilla bean taste. The Burnt Carmel somewhat reminds me of that burnt marshmallow taste from a campfire. These two flavor are my favorite so far.
An honorable mention is the red beet icecream. This is a semisweet icecream with a light touch of beet. Very good icecream if you don’t want something too sweet but satisfies that icecream taste.

Oh my god, I never knew Burnt Caramel flavored ice cream could be so good. When I first heard the name of the flavor, I was a little skeptical because, well, how can something burnt be a good thing? But then I had a sample of the ice cream and you know what? It was delicious. I don’t normally like overly sweet things like chocolate or caramel flavored things but this Burnt Caramel was just so flavorful and so different that I actually loved it.
I also got the Black Ring Coffee which was great, it tasted like a real cup of well made coffee! I did like the other original flavors (Whiskey Vanilla and Chocolate Oolong) but these two were my favorite. I kinda wish there were more fruity flavors since I actually like those a little more but I know they switch up their menus so now I have a reason to come back!
Also, the girl who helped me out was super sweet and super nice and she gave me some fat samples so cheers to that!

I love this place. It was a surprise that it was so hard to find a great organic ice cream place.
I know this sounds super hipster-​ish, but regular ice cream is either too sweet or tastes too chemical-​y.
This place, the flavors taste natural, you can really taste all of the flavors in the ice cream even if it’s just a hint. My favorite is still the whiskey vanilla ice cream but their banana bread ice cream and cashew ice cream have been close seconds.
They have had a few misses in terms of flavors but overall the best ice cream place in Long Beach without a doubt.

Finally I am trying #longbeachcreamery blueberry donut & cashew fennel chip
They are very gentle, clean, welcoming and cozy place. Ice cream great!

4.5 stars
You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice (s)cream! I’ve been wanting to stop by after work for the longest time but it didn’t happen… Came on a Saturday late afternoon around 3:30pm for a little sweet treat.
I tried about a handful of samples before I opted for the small ($ 4.50) cyclone and elvis flavors. If you like peanut butter and banana, try the elvis! I couldn’t stop thinking about it the rest of the weekend. I added waffle cone as a topping — check in to Unilocal for a free topping!
There are a few tables inside as well as tables outside covered by umbrellas for those hot summer days. Parking between a small shared lot so you might have to find street parking.

Fantastic flavors. Excellent service. Strauss cream!
What more can you ask for.
Tried Fennel chip, burnt caramel, Elvis, coffee and a few others. It was all excellent. I had a small with the first two flavors and shared it with my daughter. It was enough to get a nice taste but not so much to make you feel ill. The flavor was good, not too intense and certainly delicious and unique. I’d go back, for sure. We have family that live near here, we have a new spot!

This is really close to my work and I ended up going on a Saturday after an afternoon hike.
It’s a small place and parking is kinda bad but the ice cream is amazing! It’s a little bit on the pricey side especially their pints that you can buy to take home but I must say they’re really good!
Will definitely come back as the staff is also really nice.

Came across this treasure near my home.
The waffle cone was heavenly, better than any I’ve ever had. Got 2 scoops, Whiskey Vanilla and Salted Caramel were friggin amazing! Nothing like ever experienced even from the best ice cream shops.

I finally to try this place! I usually drive by on a Saturday morning on my way back from Trader Joes and this place would always be closed, is it a crime to want ice cream at 11 am? I guess it’s a little too early for most. Well we went in and just avoided a huge crowd, and were greeted by a lovely, young «scooper»? No not scooper, ice cream sales girl? I don’t know what I would call her, but she was awesome and very helpful, and knowledgable on the store’s products.
I sampled quite a few flavors and she was very patient in explaining what each one was, and I settled for Oolong chocolate and the coffee flavored ice cream. It was such delicious, rich (but not too sweet or rich) ice cream. They serve it in a little carton looking cup or a waffle cone. We got the regular cup and we ordered small ones. We wanted bigger ones, and not to sound cheap (ok I’m sounding cheap) we thought the price was rather hefty (4.50 for a small and 6.50 for a medium) for the amount of ice
cream you got. Hey, I get it they are environmentally conscious (they have wooden spoons for god sakes!) and they make all their ice team in house, so it makes sense. But just for us, we thought it was a little too much. So if you want awesome ice cream with very unique flavor and you don’t mind spending an extra buck or two, you MUST try this out. I’ll probably wait until I have a huge ice cream hankering before I come back, though.

This is probably the most crowded ice cream shop I’ve been to besides Salt & Straw! We went for their Alice in Wonderland celebration and I must say that it was mad and magical! They had everything decorated with a wall to take photos with and some props!
They had Alice in Wonderland flavors like Cheshire Cat, White Rabbit, and Mad Hatter. Unfortunately Mad Hatter wasn’t labeled so I missed out on that one. T_​T The flavors were creamy and delicious and didn’t melt too fast. Cheshire was a vanilla with raspberry stripes and the White Rabbit was a whiskey vanilla I think. Mad Hatter had chocolate and hazelnuts if I remember correctly.
Their pints are soooooo cute and adorable. I loved it. They were selling bon bons collab’d with Romeo chocolates but I didn’t try them because I wanted to focus on the ice cream.
The service here is super friendly and helpful and really want you to have a good time. Plenty of people stayed past the closing time but they ever rushed anyone out.

This hidden gem of an ice cream parlor is unique and can only be found in Long Beach. They make artisan flavored of real cream ice cream! Some gluten free options too! The flavored rotate out depending on how creative they want to be, but so far every single flavor I’ve tried is great! Whiskey Vanilla, Oolong tea, burnt caramel, and salted black coffee are just some of the flavors they create. Toppings are only 0.50 each or 1.00 for unlimited toppings. I suggest the candied bacon and crushed waffle cone added for that texture and sweet/​salty/​savory twist that pairs well with a lot of the sweet flavors!

First off, don’t come here if you are cheap and looking for «the good old days» when you could get Thrifty ice cream for 25¢. These are premium, hand made ice creams with the freshest ingredients and no fillers. If you frequent Starbucks and drop $ 4 on a latte, you won’t cringe at spending $ 5 on two scoops of ice cream that tastes like heaven in a bowl.
Now, for the flavors… Not your typical mint chip here. Burnt caramel. Whiskey vanilla. Honey lavender. Cashew fennel chip. These are just a few of the inspired combinations coming out of the kitchen. You can sample any and all flavors before making your choice (s) and when you get the tasting flight ($ 10), you can choose six and share with a loved one. Or, if you’re like me, just pretend you’re gonna share and end up eating most of it yourself. The waffle bowls are delicious and for $ 1 you can get unlimited toppings (candied bacon anyone?) check in on Unilocal and get the toppings for free!
Give this place a try during their limited hours 3 – 9 weekdays or from 12 – 9 weekends.

Its 5pm on a sunday and i guess this is «ice cream» time in the lbc.
Line about 12 deep they move fast. Try as many craft flavors as you like…
–friendly staff. Lots of places to sit inside and out. Parking lot sort of sucks very smalllll spaces so mind the door dings.
We got:
–waffle cone
–3 scoop medium. 8.00bucks later we noshed on
–huskaberry fin, st. blueberry and black ring coffee.
–no toppings we felt there was plenty going on with the flavors.
Deep flavors, very creamy. They feature organic milk as part of their icecreams.
Deslih… Come back weekly for 8.00 bucks probably not… But it was a nice treat for us.
If you are a huge creamy ice cream fan this place is for you!

I haven’t been to the store but a friend brought the ice cream to a dinner party I had at my place. Oh my goodness, the best waffle cones in Long Beach, hands down!
My friend brought over the BLACK RING coffee ice cream and the CASHEW FENNEL CHIP ice cream. This lead to about a 20 minute conversation, at the dinner party, about fennel, its origins, people google imaging fennel, and describing their personal eating experiences with fennel. Needless to say, you couldn’t taste too much fennel.
We didn’t keep the ice cream in the freezer for too long after the party but honesty I nibbled on the waffle cones everyday.
I wasn’t at all surprised though with their ice cream as I have experienced the LB Creamery’s Sublime ice cream flavor at Parks Finest Restaurant down in LA. So after my first ice cream experience being Sublime, I knew that black ring and fennel chip would be da bomb, too.
Hope to visit the store some day!

I pass by this ice cream parlor multiple times, I can’t believe only today I do decide to pay them my very first visit.
Upon arriving, parking is tight. We came around 3pm so I can only imagine how busy it gets at night time. There’s a good amount of tables, inside and outside. Also, the staff are beyond friendly and knowledgeable of their products, they’re amazing! The guy helped us out and every time we sampled a flavor, he described it so well.
Now onto the flavors, they’re all homemade! The names say it all, very unique and the place reminds me of Salt & Straw. We sampled a good amount, some we really liked, some were okay.
Flavors I suggest:
— Burnt Caramel
— Huskaberry Finn
— Black Ring Coffee
— Marionberry Pie Bar
— Elvis (banana & PB)
Whiskey Vanilla – I can see how this is a crowd pleaser, but it’s not for me. I’m not a huge fan of the after taste.
Midnight Oolong – I was really excited to try this one out as oolong tea is one of my favorite teas. But after trying it, it was alright. It was paired with chocolate and overall, it tasted bitter.
Don’t forget to check-​in for a free unlimited topping! We tried the crisp pearls, so good! It’s crunchy and chocolate covered.
We noticed that they’re eco-​friendly. That’s a plus.
I can’t wait for our next visit. Bring more friends and order the Tasting Flight! Also, I might have to take home some pints, only $ 11.
Prices are decent, I only wish they had more flavors to choose from.

You guys absolutely rock.
Came here on a Wednesday night around 8:30pm and was surprised to see that the place was still pretty packed. In front of us was a group of like, 7 people, but they were served quickly and efficiently. When it was our turn, Conrad was extremely helpful and friendly in explaining their ice cream making process and recommending some flavors.
There aren’t many flavors, but this is one of those ice cream joints where you are bound to find something unique and delicious. I was worried that there would be a sample limit, as most ice cream stores do/​or at least the server will give you attitude about it, but Long Beach Creamery is not one of those places.
Not only did Conrad not mind that I literally wanted to sample each and every single flavor… he encouraged it! He walked us through the organic ingredients, homemade jams, even where the fruits and teas are sourced in the ice creams with bananas, strawberries, matcha powder etc.
I settled on a «single» (up to 2 flavors) of the strawberry sorbet and the burnt caramel ice cream. My man had a single on a house-​made waffle cone, with the cyclone racer (?) and the strawberry mascarpone.
Everything (4 scoops of ice cream and a waffle bowl) came out to just $ 11 bucks.
Can I just say… holy shit. We were blown away. The ice creams are fluffy but firm. That waffle bowl was the same way… obviously crispy and hard, but had a chewy consistency underneath it all. These are «expensive» «gourmet» ice creams without the crazy price tag.
My favorites were my burnt caramel (not too sweet, authentic smoky flavor reminiscent of a good s’more) and my man’s strawberry mascarpone (who doesn’t just adore mascarpone?)
We can’t wait to come back.
Appreciate everything, Conrad! Keep it up!

Very casual, neighborhood, gem of an ice cream spot in the always lovely Bixby Knolls. Came here to satiate our taste buds after quite a heavy yet fulfilling meal. First of all, Long Beach Creamery was funded through a Kickstarter campaign. To be that passionate about ice cream and to have people in the community fully show their support in that passion? I’m impressed already. I think in order to be successful as an ice cream shop, having flavours that range from unique to classic is imperative. You can’t just have the classics and call it a day, you know? Ingenuity is key.
Handcrafted ice cream in small batches. Wooden, disposable spoons and compostable cups. Made with organic and AMAZING Straus Milk. This, my fellow Unilocalers, is the number one reason why I’m now such a fan of Long Beach Creamery. Straus Milk Farms is the most sublime – also the first non-​GMO Project verified farm. If you don’t believe the awesomeness that is Straus, go to your nearest Whole Foods or Sprouts, just grab yourself a bottle, and taste the difference. Far superior than any other dairy milk. Straus cows are happy cows. In fact I’ve seen firsthand Straus cows frolicking amongst the grassy meadows of Petaluma when I road tripped up north earlier last year. Just kidding about the frolicking but they did look super content!
Sampled a whole bunch of flavours before finally deciding. Among those ice cream flavours were: Whiskey Vanilla, Burnt Caramel, Midnight Oolong, Lemon Black Blue, Ginger Peach. Ended up getting a classic Cookies and Cream (oh how I always come back to the classic cookies and cream…) and Strawberry Mascarpone. The latter was divine. I’m a sucker for strawberry ice cream however so there’s that! It truly was so difficult to settle on what to get because all of the flavours I’ve sampled were incredible. Whiskey Vanilla, a definite stand-​out, was something my friend got. My other friend got Black Ring Coffee. A real killer of an ice cream if you’re into coffee-​flavoured things. I, myself, LOVE coffee but tend to shy away from coffee-​flavored concoctions. Definitely am a purist when it comes to coffee.
Important to note:
They are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays in order to make ice cream. Scooping hours are Wed-​Thu 3−9pm, Fri-​Sun 12−9pm.
Oh how I look forward to indulging myself in some more of their ice cream. A+

There’s not really any ice cream shops in long beach, so it’s nice that they finally opened one. I love ice cream and I appreciate the unique flavors this shop has. They have seasonal flavors that rotate which is always a plus. Their ice cream is creamy and I love the unlimited toppings you get when you check in! I recommend the honey chip.
I’d say the only downside is the price, which is around $ 5 for a single. You can spit the single into two flavors. But it was so small, that I had to ask the girl if both my flavors were in there. I wish Unilocal had ½ stars because it’s a 3 ¹⁄₅ stars for me.

This place is a must try if you love ice cream!
SERVICE: ⁵⁄₅
Friendly staff, and knowledgeable about all of he flavors too!
FOOD: ⁵⁄₅
Lots of flavors to try, and there’s even more flavors inside the fridge with the pints. which I need to try! The pints are $ 11, a bit pricey in my opinion, but the ice cream is really delicious, organic, and soft so I wouldn’t mind spending a little extra for quality ice cream! My friend and I got Single cups each, which each single scoop can have up to two flavors for $ 4.50 without tax, 4.90 with tax. I added waffle chips and chocolate pearls when I checked in on Unilocal.First cup: Midnight Oolong & Whiskey Vanilla, Second cup: Midnight Oolong & Burnt Caramel :) I definitely want to come back and try more flavors and bring home a pint!
Also, this is located in a small plaza so there is free parking but can be hard to find if its a busy day for them or the surrounding stores/​nail salon.
Overall,
I would definitely recommend checking this place out :)
