So good, it’s a crime!

Creaminal is an ice cream brand based in Santa Barbara, CA, led by the husband and wife duo, Piti Sukavivatanachai and Kathy Dao. Established in 2014, their Asian-American upbringing and treasured memories serve as the heart and soul of Creaminal, which specializes in ice cream flavors and sundaes that evoke nostalgia and happiness.

Inspired & Unique Flavors

Creaminal started all by accident. After graduating from UCLA, Piti started his career in emergency medical services as an EMT running 911 calls in L.A. and Orange County. Yet, destiny had a different plan in store for Piti and Kathy. With Piti’s parents facing challenges at the family restaurant, Piti and Kathy took a leap of faith and temporarily left their jobs to offer a helping hand in Santa Barbara. It was during this time when Piti learned the basics of ice cream making from watching his mom make coconut ice cream for the restaurant. Soon Piti and Kathy took on the responsibility of making the ice cream. Driven by curiosity and passion, they began experimenting with different flavors and techniques. Word soon spread that a small Thai restaurant on upper State Street was making unique ice cream flavors as well as sundaes and before they knew it, lines were forming outside their door.

"The BEST ice cream I’ve ever had in my entire life!"
