Summer Split, Piña Colada, and Hey! It's Beckie's Birthday

August Specials = Summer Specials

Hot summer days call for a couple of cool August specials from Serendipity Homemade Ice Cream in The Grove.

Our Summer Split features our seasonal summer flavors. Scoops of our Blueberry, Strawberry, and Peach Ice Creams are covered with chocolate syrup, fresh strawberry topping, warm caramel, and roasted pecans.

Topped with whipped cream and a cherry!

If you like Piña Coladas (and getting caught in the rain), then come try our new Spirited Shake! It is made with Coconut Ice Cream, Plantation Pineapple Rum, and Key Lime Juice.

Hey! It’s Beckie’s Birthday… She’s celebrating all month with a Dipity Dough made with Funfetti Cookies and Birthday Cake Ice Cream.

Reminder: Make sure you are following us on Facebook and Instagram. Check out The Grove Mural Snapshot Contest (and use our mural)!

Save the Date: Ice Cream Day
On Sunday, July 21st, we will be scooping up your favorite ice creams, serving novelties, creating Dipity Doughs, and mixing up shakes, malts, and Spirited Shakes. Doors open at noon!
