Sweet Rose Creamery opens it third location this week. The new Beverly Boulevard store debut on Wednesday will be the latest small-batch ice cream shop from restaurateurs Josh Loeb and Zoe Nathan and co-owner/chef Shiho Yoshikawa. Located near the Grove, it will feature a rotating selection of Yoshikawa’s flavors, including yam swirl with salty sesame brittle, malted chocolate with hazelnut praline and tangerine sorbet. Also available are shakes, sundaes, ice cream sandwiches, and Nathan’s sweet and savory pastries, baked daily at Milo & Olive. Caffe Luxxe coffee will be served, as espresso, single-origin pour-overs or for affogatos. Designed by Montalba Architects, the 1,000-square-foot shop features plywood and blackened steel elements, schoolhouse chairs and chalkboard painted cabinets, and seats 20 inside and a dozen more on the patio. 7565 Beverly Blvd., Los Angeles, www.sweetrosecreamery.com.

The partnership between chef Anthony Carron and Umami Restaurant Group’s Adam Fleischman and Allen Ravert also is planning to open a downtown location this year, with Pasadena, Hollywood, Studio City, Marina del Rey, Orange County, San Diego, New York and more to follow.
