When my mother told me she wanted to try a new local ice cream shop it only took me a matter of seconds to hop on yelp and determine we'd be there that night. The reviews were great and they had a variety of flavors like Biscuits and Jam, Strawberry Mascarpone, and Lemon Blue Black.
On my first visit I sampled Ginger Peach, Whiskey Vanilla and St. Blueberry. The Ginger Peach flavor wasn't what I expected but it tasted just like its name ... Ginger and Peach. It wasn't bad but I decided to go with a scoop of Whiskey Vanilla and St. Blueberry. Whiskey Vanilla is my favorite so far. It taste just like the name... Whiskey and Vanilla. St. Blueberry tasted like a Vanilla mixed with a berry swirl. After visiting their website Long Beach Creamery I found out that it is so much more than that. Here is a description of the flavors from the website.
GINGER PEACH – Fresh ginger and organic peaches flavor the ice cream and jam mix in. Pralined pecans add a southern crunch – making Ginger Peach the belle of the ball!

Now as you can see this ain't your normal ice cream. It was soooooooo good that I had to return about 24 hours later.
Now last night my mom went with the Whiskey Vanilla & Reverse Turtle so, I already knew what I was going to get today. However, once I got there I had to taste something. I tried the Cashew Fennel Chip and Lemon Blue Black. Both were good but I was leaning towards the Lemon Blue Black. It was a tough decision but I went with my first mind and got the Whiskey Vanilla & Reverse Truffle. Oh and I added a fresh baked waffle cone. So fresh I had to wait for it to be made. I know you're curious about those new flavors so here is the info.
