With great regret, I have to announce that Grateful Dave's will not be open this Summer. With the passing of my Father, construction, and a new teaching contract, I just haven't had the time or creativity to put a menu together.

I would never say that Grateful Dave's is done, but it is going to be put on the shelf for a little while.

I hope you all know how much you are appreciated. I started Grateful Dave's at a pretty low time in my life. I had just quit drinking, the pandemic started, and I messed up my SDSU application and had to wait a year to get in again. Out of that mess, I started something that would change my attitude on life and that is all because of you.

Thank you so much. You all have changed my life.

I really wanted to have a menu this month, but alas, life is getting in the way. I'll keep you all posted on a new date.

Thank you for your patience.

Egg prices are finally getting reasonable so it might be about time to start making some ice cream. I want to take my time with this menu, so it won't be happening right away, BUT I will get it together before the end of the month.

As far as the future of Grateful Dave's Ice Cream, there is some debate about what to do next. I am waiting to see if I get a teaching contract for next year, but I also am starting to look at turning Grateful Dave's into an actual business. The first step will be to move the ice cream factory out of the home and into an actual commercial kitchen. There are several ways for me to do this. Version #1 consists of getting a kitchen without a storefront and sell at farmers markets and whatnot. Version #2 is a storefront which would be more expensive. Honestly, I haven't had the capital to think about this stuff much, so this will take time and debate.

Thank you all for being so patient!

Sorry it's been so quiet. Right after Xmas break I got a long term sub job for a wonderful 2nd grade class. I have been solely devoted to learning the teaching craft, therefore ice cream has been on the back burner. I will be open in June at the latest, so keep an eye out for more info.

Small business Saturday is coming up! Since I won't be open, I would like to spotlight another business that helped make Grateful Dave's possible.

Best pizza in town and live music to boot! Go get a gift card or pizza from Pizza Cassette. Great place and great people. Just remember that your spending dollar means so much more to small businesses.

What people say

Grateful Dave's Ice Cream is a must-try for all ice cream lovers out there! Their homemade flavors are simply delicious and will leave you wanting more. The Wonder Wharf flavor is a personal favorite, with its perfect combination of malted vanilla ice cream, waffle cone pieces, caramel, and chocolate swirl. Another standout flavor is the Breakfast of Champions, which features a 50/50 swirl of coffee and Irish cream ice cream with a caramel swirl and Heath Bars. Grateful Dave's Ice Cream also offers convenient delivery options for $6 per container with a 4 container minimum. Although their menu dates may be limited due to technical difficulties and scheduling problems, it's worth the wait to taste their yummy flavors made on their new machine. Don't miss out on this amazing ice cream parlor!
