DTLA LIFE MAG #30 | HOLIDAYS 2016 | Page 34

Jane Kim’s Gresescent has boldly entered the burgeoning DTLA ice cream range war with a flavor selection that is creative and yet appealing to customers of all ages. You can push the envelope with grilled pineapple bourbon caramel or blueberry mint mojito or go traditional with vanilla bean cookies and cream. Nested in a signature maple waffle bowl, you really can’t go wrong. They taste so good; people eat them without ice cream. A cheerful addition to the entry area of the LEVEL building, Gresescent greets visitors with a trio of blond wood benches parked on a pad of Astroturf, complete with a water dish for visiting pups. On a block with a lot of construction, this makes for both a welcome alternative to the over-caffeinated population of FIDM and a major temptation for the Soul Cycle crowd.
