It was once home to a place that catered to pups’n’kitties but now, it shall cater to the sweet-tooth cravings of humans: the old Pussy n Pooch location in DTLB (222 E Broadway), which closed last year, will now be home to the Long Beach Creamery’s second location following its flagship location in Bixby Knolls.<\/p>\n

“Got keys this week for our next shop in Downtown,” said owner Dina Amadril. “A long road ahead keep those ice cream vibes flowing, for sure.”<\/p>\n

Long Beach Creamery is the stuff of Long Beach legend. Like her friend-in-business, Laurie Gray over at The Pie Bar, Amadril began her work out of her home when on August 22, 2013, she held her first tasting at her home, with 10 strangers sampling 12 flavors, from Lord Windsor Coffee to Biscuits & Jam, Madagascar Vanilla to Goat Cheese Whiskey Fig.<\/p>\n

That is the humble, Long Beach-style beginnings of what has become Amadril\u2019s life,\u00a0The Long Beach Creamery<\/a>\u2014something I had discussed with her nearly three years ago<\/a> when she was opening her first shop.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was not difficult to work from home at first,\u201d Amadril had said. \u201cOriginally, I had my Kitchen Aid freezer attachment and a cute turquoise Cuisinart ice cream maker. But as demand grew\u2014I ended up with 5 Cuisinarts and 3 Kitchen Aid attachments\u2014and no room in my freezers. Capacity was becoming a problem. Around this time I also started researching what it would take to make this official: the regulations, investments and equipment\u2026 All the little ice cream spinners were starting to wear on me, so I made a big move and invested in a $10K Emery Thompson Blast Freezer.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Soon after, it all became a reality\u2014and now, she is pushing out of her heart’n’home of the Bixby\/Wrigley neighborhoods and into the hustle’n’bustle of DTLB. Spoon in hand, it\u2019s time to take the leap and go full on urban.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Long Beach Island of Signal Hill will be introducing the various warehouses and tax-haven businesses to craft beer by way of Ten Mile Brewing.<\/p>\n

Named after Ten Mile Creek in Sierra Nevada and created by father-and-son team Dan and Jesse Sundstrom, this brewery was built on the back of Dan’s homebrewing experiments.<\/p>\n

As his craft became more artistic and less experimentation, his brews were getting requested more and more\u2013from events to small gatherings of close friends.<\/p>\n

Set to soft open by the end of this month, the location at the southwest corner of Willow and Cerritos will offer a ton of beers. To be specific, here’s what they offer and how they describe it:<\/p>\n
