🎶 Concert Night = Ice Cream Night! 🍦
We'll be open 7 PM until the concert wraps up (around 9 PM)!

Now for this week's public service announcement...

🤎 Chocolate ice cream is taking the week off because it's officially COOKIE BUTTER WEEK! 🤎

If that breaks your heart... you'll survive. 😜
We do have pre-frozen chocolate cups available if you need your chocolate fix!

One thing we absolutely love about being a small business is supporting other small businesses. Huge shoutout to Mt. Healthy Dairy Bar for sending customers our way when they were looking for items we carry that they don't. That's what community is all about! ❤️

The truth is, every local ice cream shop has something different to offer. We don't pretend to have everything!
❌ No brownies- for now
❌ No hot fudge
❌ No milkshakes - for now
❌ No hard shell dip
❌ No banana splits

So whether you're grabbing a cone from us, visiting another local shop, or making it your mission to hit them all this summer, keep supporting local. There's room for all of us, and that's what makes our communities so sweet. 💕

See you at the concert!
Life's sweeter here 💕

📦 Free Pallet Alert! 📦
Any crafters, DIYers, or anyone who just loves a good pallet? 😊
We have one sitting out front that's FREE for anyone who wants it! First come, first served.

It'll be out there today, otherwise we'll be tossing it.

Feel free to stop by and grab it! 🪵

🎉 BIG NEWS... Our new refrigerator is finally here!! 🙌

Now comes the fun part... getting it into the shop! At some point today, we'll need to temporarily switch over to serving from our side window while we move everything around, so if you see us directing you there, that's why!

Since we'll be reorganizing, we also need to make some room in the freezer, which means SALE TIME! 🍦
Today's freezer cup specials:
❤️ Plain Strawberry Dole — $1
💙 Strawberry/Blue Razz Twist — $1
🍍 Piña Colada — $1
🤍 Blue Razz/Vanilla Twist — $2
💜 Raspberry Dole — $3
🇺🇸 Bomb Pop Popsicles — 2 for $1!

We're keeping the bakery side a little simpler while we get everything settled:
🍌 Plenty of Banana Pudding Cups
🍫 A few S'mores Cheesecake Cups
(No cookies today while we get caught up!)

Thank you all for hanging in there with us through the refrigerator saga. We're excited to finally get things back to normal and can't wait to have all of your favorites back soon!

🎉 We're back open today at 12🍦💕
A little heads up before you stop in... it's been one of those weeks. Between being down a refrigerator and several of our deliveries not arriving, the shop may look a little different than usual.

The good news? We still have plenty of ice cream!
🍉 Watermelon Dole
🍋‍🟩 Lime
❤️ Pomegranate
🎂 Lactose-Free Cake Batter

I spent most of yesterday cleaning, reorganizing, and getting everything back in order, so I'll be working throughout the day to restock treats as I can. My goal is to have the display case looking much fuller by tomorrow!

If you're craving something cold and refreshing today, we've got you covered. 🍦 If you're stopping by specifically for our bakery treats, you'll probably find even more sweet goodies waiting for you tomorrow.

Thank you for sticking with us through all of life's little surprises. We appreciate you more than you know! 💕

We'll reopen Saturday during our normal business hours, ready to serve up your favorite ice cream, drinks, and sweet treats! 🍦🧁

Thank you for your understanding, and we'll see you this weekend! 💕

☀️ Happy Monday! The crazy heat wave has finally eased up, so let's get back to enjoying summer! 🍦

Today's the last day for our Blue Razz & Raspberry Dole! If you've been meaning to grab a swirl, don't wait—we may start dispensing it a little early as we get ready for this week's new flavors.

Also... we wanted to celebrate something pretty exciting! 🎉
Thanks again to YOU, we were honored to be named 2nd Place for Best Ice Cream in Cincinnati by CityBeat! ❤️ We truly couldn't have done it without everyone who voted, shared, and cheered us on throughout the competition.

We finally have a copy of the magazine here in the shop if you'd like to see it! I also grabbed a few extra copies, so if you were part of our journey and would really like one, let me know.

📖 We're featured on page 32! I'll attach the link below—go check it out, screenshot it, share it, and if you've got a favorite memory or favorite ice cream from our shop, tell your friends! Let's spread the sweet news and show everyone what this amazing community helped make possible. 💕
Thank you again for believing in us. It means more than you'll ever know.

💕 Small Business Update 💕

It's been one of those weeks! Between feeling a little under the weather and unexpectedly losing one of our refrigerators, we're making the best of it.

The good news? We're still OPEN! 🍦🥤

We'll have all of our ice cream, Dirty Alanis, Italian sodas, and drinks, and limited treats in the display case. We'll also be working throughout the day to keep restocking as we can.( Check Comments)

Current Ice Cream Flavors
🍉Watermelon Dole
🍋‍🟩Lime Dole
❤️Raspberry Dole
🩵Blue Razz

PreFrozen Cups Discounted!
Twist, Pina Colada, Mango and Strawberry Dole

For now, we won't have our refrigerated favorites, including:
🍰 Cheesecake Cups
🍌 Banana Pudding Cups
🍫 Oreo Balls
Once we have our refrigeration situation figured out and know how much storage space we have, we'll start bringing those goodies back.

Owning a small business definitely comes with unexpected ups and downs, but we'd much rather simplify our menu for a few days than close our doors. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and continued support—it truly means the world to us. ❤️

We'll see you soon for something sweet!
