National Vanilla Ice Cream Day + Message From Beckie Jacobs

Sunday, July 23rd, 12-9 pm

We are celebrating National Vanilla Ice Cream Day! We believe any ice cream shop can be judged by the quality of their vanilla ice cream, and our locally sourced, homemade ice cream is the best.

Remember, our ice cream is only made with cream from pasture raised cows and is always free from antibiotics and rBST. We hope to see your smiling faces at Serendipity Ice Cream on Sunday!
