On one of the coldest nights of the year last week, we were invited to sample the wares of Neveux Artisan Creamery & Espresso Bar on Melrose. The creamery, which opened this past fall, is the project of owner Leo Neveux, who makes all of the ice cream on premises. (It's also served a few doors down at Chef Eric Greenspan's The Foundry on Melrose.) more ›

What's going on lately in the L.A food scene? Chew on this! There's a Vegas import Japanese style burger spot now open in Hollywood, a year of dining for a cause at a Venice favorite, a Halloween inspired taco, and more. more ›

Who can resist Schweddy Balls? It turns out One Millions Moms can. The conservative Christian group complains that Ben & Jerry's new SNL-referencing ice cream flavor "Schweddy Balls" is not appropriate for the little ones. more ›

Yes, we opened with a balls joke, but, to be fair, Saturday Night Live started it. Now the skit in question is being paid tribute with Ben & Jerry's latest special edition flavor, Schweddy Balls. The rumor first surfaced earlier this summer, and TIME confirms the delicious news today. more ›

It's official: Food trucks have gone to the dogs. Well, actually, you can take your dog to a truck that launches January 8th that will sell dog cookies, ice cream, and bake-at-home dough. Give a hearty paw-shake to the Phydough Truck. If the idea of cookies and ice cream from a truck sounds like the territory of LA food truck veterans Coolhaus, that's because Phydough Truck is their pet project. more ›

The sweet suspense is finally over….Scoops Westside is now open! After a couple of pesky delays, the indie ice cream boutique opened its doors to the Overland Ave. masses last week. And already…it has had to close down early for running out of the uniquely flavored frozen goodness! The West L.A extension was made possible by Blogger-turned-Proprietor, Matthew Kang, a long time fan of the flagship shop near L.A.C.C. more ›

There will soon be two new ways to get yourself a scoop or two of the delicious artisanal ice cream made by Carmela. The small local company is poised to open a storefront in Pasadena, and are launching a cool retro ice cream truck. more ›

Skeptics, you may doubt that beer + ice cream = perfection in a glass, but around town there are plenty of bars and restaurants that make this concoction, and make it damn well. I was a doubter myself at first (you can't help but close your eyes and picture a generic, yellow-gold, frothing beer in what would be an ill-fated match with a scoop of supermarket brand HFCS-loaded ice cream, I know) but then realized the right beer plus the right ice cream is a delight. more ›

The mission: Time to find some creamy milk shakes to cool us down on a hot summer day in LA. But where to go? That question was put to Twitter, where multiple responses were received. One came from Nastassia Johnson of the Manila Machine who recommended a visit to The 101 Coffee Shop. So we headed over to check out their fountain menu more ›

We got all flavor-specific yesterday in honor of Peach Ice Cream Day. But if you didn't save room for dessert, there's still a way to celebrate today, because the third Sunday in July happens to be National Ice Cream Day. (By the way, we have President Ronald Reagan to thank for that, hence "The Gipper" reference.) Last night at Extravaganza for the Senses the nice people of MILK told us if you whisper to them you're in the know about today's "holiday" you're in for a sweet treat. There's plenty of incredible ice cream to be had around town, too, like Scoops, KindKreme, the Lake Street Creamery Truck, Paradis, and more. Where's your favorite place to get ice cream? more ›

As if you needed an excuse to get a cone or cup full of a creamy, cold treat using the best of the season's stone fruit...today is National Peach Ice Cream Day! Peach ice cream is a wonderfully sweet way to indulge in a little dessert or snack but (wink, wink) get a serving of fruit in. Our favorite Peach Ice Cream in Los Angeles is at Bennett's at The Original Farmers Market; a mini-scoop earlier this week at their "Taste" event affirms its continued deliciousness. The folks at Feast put together a list of where to get your Peach Ice Cream fix today. more ›

When we got to the window of the Lake Street Creamery truck on Sunday evening we placed the order we'd been waiting over a month to make: "1 scoop of Pancake Breakfast Ice Cream, please!" more ›

The Salastina Music Society makes their debut this week at the Zipper Hall, and aims to reach out to a modern audience. This non-profit organization hopes to encourage participation (like voting on what encore to perform) and will not enforce rules on when to applause (or not applaud). As an added bonus, they will offer free... more ›

Scheduled to launch next month, the Lake Street Creamery ice cream truck will have a set of flavors on board that are already making our mouth water and our tastebuds intrigued: Donut, Pancake Breakfast, Holiday Chocolate, Aztec Sacrifice, Tahitian Vanilla Lemon Mint, Black Licorice, and Tears of the Yeti. more ›

Merril Shindler of ZagatBuzz, the blog from the influential Zagat guide folks, has published his picks for the most-anticipated Los Angeles restaurant openings of this year. more ›

To be honest, there aren't many frozen indulgent foods that would get this writer to leave her cozy apartment in the wintertime to travel 20 miles north up the 2 freeway to Montrose. Yet the small community town, nestled in the foothills of the Angeles National Mountains, happens to be home to a new Danish ice cream export that just may have expanded that threshold of what it means to trek for food. more ›
