Blue Bird makes mostly awesome ice cream (a few flop flavors, but mostly good). They also make really tasty soda, and by virtue, awesome floats. Theyre a little pricey, but at least they use really high-quality ingredients. If youre in the area, this is really the best option for ice cream or sweets. They also make dessert beers, if thats your thing. Heres the downside: the service. Its really a mixed bag. Its either a young hipster who (perhaps rightfully so) hates their job, doesnt pack pints properly, and gives you comically small scoops for $6.50; or its the nicest, bestest, overworked employee ever. They really need to have more people working at the counter on busy days (especially when its warm). Having a line out the door isnt always a sign of great business -- its sometimes a sign that the owner didnt want to have two people working, and some poor sap is stressing out, trying to take multiple orders at once. And would you guys please make your waffle cones during the mornings like most ice cream shops? Hire more people and train them how to pack pints and serve up scoops. Thats all you need to do, really. You shouldnt have to wait ten minutes to get an ice cream cone. And when you do, it should be huge, delicious, and completely awesome. And sometimes it really is. But sometimes, it isnt. And you need to fix that. They make great ice cream, though. So at least give them a shot. The chocolate flavors are all absurdly good. Definitely get the Theo Chocolate Chunk.

On my visit I got a split scoop (half and half) of snickerdoodle and theo chocolate chunk and it was absolutely delicious. The business itself was a little hard to find because the logo is painted on brick and at night there is really not much light near the logo, but it is right next to the coffee shop. The ice cream had the perfect texture and consistency that was smooth and not to sweet., The retro decor of the room was pretty tasteful addition also, there were some old milk jugs around, an old radio with all their merch on it and there POS system was a combo of a tablet on an old metal cash register. Around the top left part of the room was also a shelf full of old board games if youre looking for something to do while there with friends. This little business is definitely worth a visit if youre looking for some cool interesting ice cream flavors, interesting sodas or micro-brews.

Somewhat disappointed by the ice cream. The flavors were decent but the ice cream was extra runny. It was extra runny right from start, dripping through the waffle cone. "Delivery day" was the explanation. Had to rush through to finish the "shake" served on a cone. -Edit 9/24/17: Higher rating given due to attentiveness and response by owner. Customer oriented and open to feedback. Will return to try more ice cream.

Walked by and got drawn in by the smell of handmade waffle cones being made right at the bar. I tried the salted caramel ice cream in a freshly made waffle cone and my husband got a pint of the Split Personality stout. We both left very happy customers. Will be back!

Super friendly staff, scrumptious ice cream, unique craft beers and a delicious homemade rootbeer, this place cant be beat. If youre lucky enough to catch them before they fly off the wall there are some local artist prints for sale that are a steal!

Good ice cream, but the menus are extremely confusing. Ive honestly walked out a few times because of it. The shakes/floats/etc need more structure on the menu.

Salted caramel ice cream was great flavor. The ice cream was a little soft, not as hard as I would have liked. Perfect little local spot.

Great ice cream! They make their waffle cones right in front of you, and have a few flavors of ice cream, soda, and beer

Great ice cream. Oddly deficient beer selection. Filthy. Have they ever cleaned? Still, ice cream is so good I go back.

All the ice cream is delicious! The snickerdoodle flavor is especially fun. Their fresh waffle cones are phenomenal.

Small but interesting beer selection. I tried the apricot almond brown ale, it was good. Ice creams are great.
