This Taiwanese cafe was already line-worthy. Now there's a whimsical next-door ice cream parlor
Briefly

Liu's Cafe Creamery is an innovative ice cream shop in Koreatown, run by the team behind Liu's Cafe. Headed by pastry chef Isabell Manibusan, the creamery specializes in small-batch, from-scratch ice creams and garnishes, drawing inspiration from night-market flavors. Popular toppings include five-spice caramel and house-cured egg yolk, crafted to complement their signature Taiwan-milk ice cream. The creamery emphasizes creativity and quality, mirroring the casual vibe of Liu's Cafe while offering a distinct dessert experience.
"We were kind of throwing around ideas and went, 'Maybe an ice cream shop?' And I went: That would actually be really fun for me, because I've always dreamed of opening an ice cream shop."
"At the no-signage creamery, she started by conceptualizing the bases: Manibusan makes multiple varieties but usually opts for a classic Philadelphia-style ice cream base where milk, sugar and cream (and no eggs) are churned with additional flavors until it all reaches a cold, smooth consistency."
