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."
