Beachy Cream believes that ice cream should be a fun experience (just look at the retro-inspired Beachy Cream Girls pictured to the right) and its philosophy is that customers shouldn’t have to worry about what’s in their frozen treats. Because of this, the California Green Business Certified company uses only organic ingredients to create its smooth and creamy signature ice cream, all of which is made in small batches, with locally sourced and sustainable ingredients.
The company has received very positive media coverage in, and on, news outlets that include KTLA 5 Los Angeles, Angeleno, C Magazine, Huffington Post, Los Angeles Business Journal, Long Beach Press-Telegram and many others.
