Yes - this is where I feel like a kid again! Salvation from the heat while sitting in the back of this shop, amusing myself with board games and fooseball, and a healthy heaping of froyo, plus all of the candy-to-fruit toppings I could imagine -- say…More »

When life throws you lemons, make some lemon gelato...or in my case - run straight to the dark chocolate and say "better make it a double."

I was so excited to see that one of the frozen case of goodies contained 1/2 sorbetto, 1/2 soy gelato; while…More »

Ch-ch-ch-ch-chocolate frozen deliciousness with pistachios to top it all off. Feels richer than ice cream, but the owner told me it has less fat (if that's a selling feature for you). For me, it was the fact that it was so thick it stuck to my spoon,…More »

Double scoop and a double take - gelatini..what? Like a boozy affagato? No way! Okay, so I didn't notice the option to splash a shot of liquor over my scoop until after I had paid - but this gives me the best reason to go back soon!

Seriously,…More »

  Update - 8/30/2010

The last time I had soft serve was a twisted cone at McD's...circa 1999. So you may imagine that my eyes were bright with anticipation, my lips were breaking into a smile and that I was practically begging by the time I made it through the line and…More »

*Sigh* The disappointment is more severe when you really want to like something. Cute colours, minimal decor, in my mind Betty Boop was in line behind me, you know - the healthier version of a cupcake.

But in the end I didn't leave with the…More »

Discovering, for the first time that I could order a cup of ice cream with a cone on top, Bluebird you have revolutionized my world!

Once you get through a couple of doors and down the stairs, it's laid back, with an impeccable selection of ice…More »
