For a limited time only, we are making ice cream pies to order. Choose
your favorite flavor (we're thinking pumpkin) to go inside of a tasty
graham cracker crust. Let us handle the dessert this year. $15. Shoot
us an email or call with questions, or to order.
We are also taking orders right now for other Thanksgiving Day desserts. You'll
be the dinner MVP if you show up with a pint or two of Bluebird Ice
Cream for a la mode. Remember, we've got flavors such as pumpkin,
apple pie, triple berry, as well as all of our regulars!
