Sports Ice Creams: “Play Ball” and “Gloria”

Albert, Yadi, Adam, and Serendipity are ready for the playoffs to start on Friday. “Play Ball Ice Cream” is caramel popcorn flavored ice cream with peanuts and a caramel stripe. Tastes like the familiar treat made famous by the song, “Take Me Out to the Ball Game!”

This Saturday is also the final Blues preseason game. (Next Saturday is the Blues opener.) So we brought back “Gloria Ice Cream” which is blue moon ice cream with yellow sprinkles and a marshmallow swirl. Note: Gloria is vegan (dairy free) *and* gluten free!

Both flavors will be in the dip case Friday! Also, you can get your ice cream in a Cardinals helmet for a small upcharge while supplies last.

Beckie Jacobs talks with Kim Hudson

Who else saw Serendipity Ice Cream owner Beckie Jacobs on Fox2Now’s AM Show late last week? She had fun talking with journalist and local celebrity Kim Hudson.

Here is the clip where she talks about Serendipity’s: Fall Ice Creams, Vegan Ice Creams, Paw Paw Sorbet, Affagato, and NEW Bagels (coming soon from Lefty's Bagels)!

The First Day of Fall + Ice Cream Cone Day + Our Fall Ice Creams

Is it coincidence that “The First Day of Fall” and “Ice Cream Cone Day” share the same date: Thursday, September 22nd? It is also the day the weather changes from highs in the 90s to highs in the 60s!

Free Waffle Cone Upgrade

This Thursday, September 22nd, come in from the cold and get a free waffle cone upgrade. Just mention ICE CREAM CONE DAY when you order a regular scoop of Serendipity Ice Cream at the shop!

Our Fall Ice Creams
We are getting ready for the “spooky season” with these ice creams:

Apple Pie
Cinnamon apple ice cream with caramel swirl & graham crunchies.

Pumpkin Cheesecake
Love pumpkin? Love cheesecake? Then this ice cream is for you!

Monster Mash*
Our pumpkin ice cream with Oreos & chocolate chips. Kids love it!
(*Vegan version also available!)

More seasonal ice creams coming soon. Also, we now have dairy free vegan ice creams in the dip case. Come visit us in The Grove!

Coffee Ice Cream Day: Coffee Ice Cream + Coffee and Ice Cream

National Coffee Ice Cream Day

Tuesday, September 6th, is National Coffee Ice Cream Day. Here at Serendipty Ice Cream, we are expanding the celebration to include:

• Coffee Ice Cream

• Coffee and Ice Cream

• Affogatos (photo below)

Have yet to try an Affogato? It is made with a kids scoop and a double shot of espresso for $5.55. Reminder: open at 7 am everyday.

Another idea? Instead of skim milk or 1/2 and 1/2, ask us for a scoop to drop in a fresh cup of hot Kaldi’s Coffee... Make a Coffee Float!
