In March 2019, Bi-Rite Creamery (and their neighbor Namu Gaji, which shares the building with them) began a mandatory seismic retrofit. During the close, loyal customers could find their solar-powered Bi-Rite ice cream truck parked at 18th St. but, good news, the Creamery is reopening on June 1st!
You’ll find that things look a little different because the Creamery also took the break as an opportunity to completely renovate the interior and exterior of the shop. The scant seating provided before has expanded, there is a new ice cream-inspired mural, and they even added new housemade treats to the menu.
“In the spirit of the Bi-Rite Family of Businesses, we’ve always set out for the Creamery to be a community gathering place,” said Anne Walker, a partner at Bi-Rite Creamery, “With this new design, we’ve opened up the interior to the hustle and bustle of 18th Street.”
To celebrate their new makeover, they're throwing a Grand Reopening Weekend Celebration on June 1st & 2nd (11am-10pm both days). During the celebration, they will provide visitors with special offers (like the chance to win Bi-Rite Creamery scoops for a whole year).
Now, the menu.
The Creamery’s new roster includes Soft Serve Stuffed Donuts (you read that correctly!) featuring brioche donuts from Mr. Holmes Bakehouse filled with vanilla soft serve. Each donut you order is paired with your choice of dipping sauce: dark chocolate hot fudge, salted caramel, strawberry basil sauce, and coffee and cream (made with Ritual Coffee).
