Bluebird is turning two years old, and we're celebrating all weekend! (7/2&7/3) We'll be rolling out a new BIRTHDAY CAKE flavor to commemorate the event, complete with chunks of cake from our neighbors at Cupcake Royale. (For the non-dairy folk, we've got a vegan brownie batter ice cream with bits of cake from Mighty-O donuts!)
If you wish us a "happy birthday" any time on Saturday or Sunday, we'll sweeten your day by giving you a free topping on your choice of ice cream.
Our awesome new "Capitol Hill is Sweet" mural by Pine Sreet's Cakespy will also have its official ribbon-cutting this weekend. (This mural is a highlight of our Capitol Hill space. One-of-a-kind.) Here is an awesome e-tour of it.
Because we think that any proper party include live music, we'll be having a 3-band after-hours show on our stage, with Slow Skate, Seapony, and Slowwave on Saturday night.
And, if that wasn't enough, now for the BIG news: Bluebird is expanding with TWO additional locations.
Our shop in Fremont will be located at 3515 Fremont Ave. N at the corner of 36th and Fremont. We will be between the Dubliner bar and our friends at Pie. Official press link here.
Our shop in Greenwood/Phinney will be located at 7400 Greenwood Ave N. at the corner of 74th and Greenwood. We will share this building with Cornuto Pizza and Caffe Vita, with the spaces being internally connected, and a new patio being built out back, across all three restaurants. Additionally, we will operating a nano-brewery on premises, where we'll be making hand-crafted ales and sodas for floats on tap and growlers to take home. Official press link here.
We have been fortunate to have spent these past two years with the best neighbors and customers in Capitol Hill. Without you, this success would not have been possible and we are extremely appreciative. So come on by and help celebrate our good news with us by having some special ice cream, free toppings, and listening to an awesome concert. Check out this link for more details and RSVP. We're looking forward to seeing you this weekend!
Bluebird to open Microcreamery and Brewery at 74th & Greenwood!
For those unfamiliar with Bluebird: it's small batch, locally sourced artisan ice cream. We strive to make all of our flavors the-best-you've-ever-had: If you try a sample, you'll want a full scoop. We source locally, taking advantage of our natural surroundings (like fruit from Remlinger Farms) as well as the wealth of like-minded artisan food makers in Seattle (Elysian Stout ice cream, anyone?) It's ice cream made from local dairy, with all-natural and organic ingredients.
We've been incredibly fortunate to have received some great press, both locally and nationally. For example, last year MSN featured us on their list of Top 10 indie ice cream shops in the USA, and this year AOL Travel mentioned us at #4 on their best ice cream in the country list. There's a bit about our PB&J ice cream in this month's Seattle Magazine, and there's going to be a feature about us in July's Sunset Magazine. Seattle Weekly Voracious called ours the best coffee ice cream in Seattle. We're only two years old, so we're extremely humbled by all the praise.
Bluebird is Coming to Fremont!
After six months of negotiations (no joke, but, it was worth it) we're thrilled to officially announce that we are indeed moving to the neighborhood! We'll be located at 3515 Fremont Ave N, (This is the Dubliner building at the corner of 36th & Fremont.) between the Dubliner bar and our friends at Pie. Ice cream and Pie: a killer combo, right? Pizza and ice cream is another dietary staple for us, so it's great that Kylie's pizza is on the same corner, as well. We're also hoping to draw from the Flying Apron crowd across the street, with our vegan ice cream flavors. And we're just down the street from our chocolatier, Theo, too. I could go on and on about all the great neighbors we are honored to join in Fremont, (Hotel Hotel moving in upstairs!) but, it goes without saying, we are expanding to Fremont because we love the neighborhood, and the people who live and work there! We hope that they will all welcome us.
