Farm to Scoop: Brentwood Ice Cream Co. Brings Local Flavor to Lone Tree Plaza
At Brentwood Ice Cream Co., every scoop starts on a farm. Nestled in Lone Tree Plaza, this new dessert shop is already making waves with its ultra-premium ice cream crafted from seasonal fruit, much of it hand-picked by the owners themselves. It’s not just ice cream, it’s a creamy celebration of Brentwood’s agricultural bounty, churned to perfection and served with heart.
Stephanie and Richard, the husband and wife duo behind Brentwood Ice Cream Co., are no strangers to the food world. They’ve spent the past five years baking French-Asian pastries with their pop-up, Kaya Bakery, building a loyal Bay Area following. Each summer, they’d find themselves back in Brentwood, picking fruit and dreaming about a place that blended their love of pastry with the local harvest. When a space opened in Lone Tree Plaza, they knew it was time to bring that dream to life.
The result is a boutique scoop shop that makes everything in-house, from handmade jams to the creamy 16% butterfat ice cream base. Flavors rotate with the season and might include Brentwood White Peach, Blackberry Jam Swirl, or whatever the couple has recently foraged from nearby farms. Their signature sundaes feature layers of house-made fruit sauces, crunchy toppings, and that unmistakable farm-fresh flavor that sets them apart.
But it’s not just about the ingredients. Stephanie and Richard are focused on creating an experience, a space where guests feel welcome, flavors are bold and surprising, and the story behind each scoop matters. “We pick the fruit ourselves, design everything in-house, and make each batch in a cleanroom with what we call our ‘Ferrari ice cream machine,’” they explain. Even the shop’s design, branding, and merchandise are thoughtfully crafted by the pair.
Currently soft opened and fine-tuning their operation, the team is gearing up for a grand opening celebration at the end of the month, complete with a city ribbon cutting and a cow dress up competition. Community is at the center of everything they do, from future school fundraisers to seasonal events and collaborations with other local businesses and farms.
Brentwood Ice Cream Co. is proudly family-owned, minority-owned, and woman-owned, and they’re committed to being more than a dessert stop. “We want to be a gathering place,” they say. “A spot where families can come together, enjoy something made with love, and feel proud of the place they live.”
And if you needed one more reason to stop by? Stephanie and Richard got married on a Brentwood peach farm, and Richard proposed with a croissant wreath hanging from a tree. That same blend of sweetness and creativity runs through everything they do.
Expect micro-batch creativity, hyper-local ingredients, and a personal connection in every scoop. With summer in full swing, Brentwood Ice Cream Co. is ready to become your new favorite spot, one farm-fresh sundae at a time.
