"Buy a Book, Get a Scoop!" at Dan Dillon's Book Signing Event on Saturday

This Satuday, Nov. 25th, 1-3 pm

Meet local writer (and trivia afficionado) Dan Dillon, and view his new book, The Ultimate St. Louis Trivia Quiz, which will challenge what you know - and don’t know - about St. Louis.

Dan Dillon will be signing his new book, which will be on sale for $24.95. This book makes a great addition to any coffee table as well as a perfect holiday gift for anyone on your nice list!

Dan will buy a “small scoop” for
ALL who purchase his new book

Since we are celebrating Small Business Saturday, all who purchase a signed book will receive a complimentary “small scoop” (kids scoop) of Serendipity Homemade Ice Cream.

We hope to see your smiling faces and we “thank you” for supporting small, locally owned and locally run businesses in your community. It really means so very much to us.

Holiday Savings and Shopping + Message from Beckie

Holiday Savings and Shopping!

It’s not just holiday “shopping” season. It’s holiday “savings” season! Stop by our ice cream shop in The Grove and save on the following items:

Gift Cards… Purchase a $25 gift card = 1 free scoop. Purchase a $100 gift card = 4 free scoops OR 1 free pint (you choose).

Pint of the Month Cards… $95 pint of the month card = 1 pint per month for 12 months (12 pints for the price of 10 pints).

Koozie Scooper Pint Combo… Koozies keep your hands warm and your Serendipity Ice Cream cold while Scoopers create “scoops” for your bowl or cone. Choose a pint from our freezer! All for $18*

*We charge extra for vegan ice cream. We charge extra if we have to hand pack a pint from the dip case. Not sure? Please ask!

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
