Liu’s Creamery, an extension of Hong Kong and Taiwanese bakery and cafe Liu’s, is closing at the beginning of August after about eight months in the neighborhood. The ice cream spot, which started scooping in January 2025, will have its last day of business on August 3. Liu’s Creamery, located right next door to Liu’s Cafe, serves Asian-inflected ice cream, including Taiwan milk tea, honey toast, and ginger pear. Pastry chef Isabell Manibusan, who also oversees desserts at Liu’s Cafe and modern Korean restaurant Danbi, developed the menu for Liu’s Creamery.
The closure was announced in an Instagram post on July 24. Liu’s Creamery will operate from Friday through Sunday, from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., until its closure. Liu’s Cafe will not be affected by the closure. Though the closure is a loss for the neighborhood, the post promises that something “exciting” will take its place soon.

A fundraiser for Indivisible Arts
Notable Los Angeles barman Matthew Biancaniello will embark on a 21-mile swim from Catalina Island to Palos Verdes on September 25. The GoFundMe effort is to raise funds for Indivisible Arts, a nonprofit that supports underserved youth. To cope with losing his restaurant in the Woolsey Fire, back surgery, and personal loss, Biancaniello has found relief through ocean swims. — Mona Holmes, editor, Eater Southern California/Southwest
