scooping up joy since 2017
a premium all natural plant-based ice cream shop that inspires moments of joy
As longtime vegans and best friends with insatiable cravings, we created Dear Bella Creamery in 2017 to offer a limitless approach to plant-based ice cream and other frozen treats. Each season, we take delight in churning flavors, both nostalgic and from our wildest imagination, using locally-sourced premium plant-based ingredients.
Make no mistake, our ice cream is rich, creamy, and indulgent and our flavors know no bounds when it comes to creativity and variety.
As part of our commitment to variety, our chef-driven menu features a quarterly rotation of 16 ice cream flavors. These include the classics we know and love and those inspired by the season’s brightest ingredients, holiday celebrations, and our appetite for travel. Our AAPI collection is an ode to our Taiwanese roots with an open invitation to explore new and familiar Asian flavors and ingredients.
this is our promise to you:
Ice cream always made-from-scratch and the heart
No artificial sweeteners, preservatives, and hydrogenated oils
Sweet treats for everyone, with gluten-free and nut-free options
Premium and natural ingredients like unrefined beet sugar, oat milk, and real fruit bases and fillings
Variety in flavors and treats that are new and nostalgic, classic and globally-inspired

At the age of 8, I immigrated from Taiwan to LA with my parents and brother. I chose a secure path by studying and working as an accountant, but after a few years of working, I felt unfulfilled. So in 2011, I decided to follow my passion and enter into the restaurant industry by working as a line cook at a vegan restaurant. That’s where I met Belinda. Both being Taiwanese and long-time vegans, our friendship forged over many vegan meals. We would spend most of our time talking about what we would add to the vegan world, and one day, we finally decided to just walk the talk. And Dear Bella was born.

My passion for food started when I was a little girl because I saw how it would bring my family together when we would all go out together to get ice cream at our local ice cream shop. That was just the beginning of my journey with food and then proceeded to study at Le Cordon Bleu to become a classically trained chef. During my time working with different restaurants, I started to become fascinated with the plant based movement and decided to try it for health reasons. Reducing dairy and eventually removing it completely was life changing for me, but I had limited options when it came to ice cream, and I wanted to change that. That is how Dear Bella came to be! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do and make everlasting memories with us.
