Valentine's Day Specials Start Friday

Who’s Ready for Valentine’s Day?
Valentine’s Day is Wednesday, but we are ready to start celebrating this weekend with scoops of ice cream you know you’re going to love! All of these various frozen treats will be available to customers.

Our Valentine’s Day Freak Shake
OMG! Did someone say, “Freak Shake?” We will be offering these (or something similar) through Valentine's Day. Perfect for sharing. Or enjoy it all to yourself. You deserve it. Plan to visit Serendipity in The Grove!

Order a Sweetheart Sundae
Step 1: Grab a crunchy heart-shaped waffle. Step 2: Choose two ice cream flavors. Step 3: Choose two ice cream toppings. Step 4: Add whipped cream and sprinkles. Step 5: Share with someone special or enjoy it all to yourself!

Perfect Pair: Pie a la Mode
“Oh my, I want a piece of pie!” There is nothing better than a slice of pie with a big scoop of ice cream. Choose between a slice of cherry pie -or- apple pie, then pair it with one of the many delicious flavors of ice cream at our shop.

Thanks for Another Awesome

Message from Beckie Jacobs, Owner
of Serendipity Homemade Ice Cream

Usually, I wait until the very end of the year to thank you for your support. However, this year, with times being tough due to higher prices, I’d like to thank you now.

Please do stop by and order from me. If you have not seen me in a while, or have not made it down to see me since we left Webster Groves, now is a great time!

Peppermint Stick Ice Cream is available. More seasonal ice creams are coming soon. Visit me before/after the Holiday Flower & Train Show, Garden Glow, or whatever your tradition is!

And as the weather gets colder, the savings get hotter. I’m going to offer new Coffee Menu discounts (during cold and snow), plus a new happy hour for our Spirited Menu. Stay tuned!

Happy Holidays and I’ll see you soon!
Peace, Love, and Joy (and ice cream)
- Beckie Jacobs
