Manhattan Beach Just Got A Little Closer To "Rolled Ice Cream"

MANHATTAN BEACH, CA — Videos of the new Summer craze — "rolled ice cream" — have surfaced all over social media, and now people in the South Bay will be able to enjoy the treat that originated from Thailand at Rolling Zone Creamery. The ice cream shop is located at 15732 Hawthorne Boulevard in Lawndale.

While Rolling Zone Creamery officially opened for business Monday, the official Grand Opening is this Saturday July 22 at noon. The flavors will range from classics like cookies and cream and chocolate mint, there will also be more "exotic" flavors such as Matcha-Matcha and Tropical Night (black ice cream with pineapple and coconut), according to the Rolling Zone Creamery press release. Ice cream lovers will be able to choose from over 20 toppings, including whipped cream made in-house.

Local residents Juan Jose Dasilva, Mishell Flood, and Liliana Barker are the team behind Rolling Zone Creamery. Dasilva, a gourmet chef trained in Argentina, became interested in rolled ice cream after seeing how it was made in Thailand.

There are only about a dozen rolled ice cream shops in the United States right now, according to the press release, but now Manhattan Beach residents can enjoy rolled ice cream without having to travel very far.
