Ever since I first walked by Bluebird, the adorable sign outside compelled me to sample their wares. It wasn't until recently that I actually went in. The first time, I got a scoop of peanut butter ice cream with hot fudge. The hot fudge was scooped out of a small fondue pot thing with a plastic spoon, and the spoon was then given to me. This is a wonderful thing to me; it signifies a special understanding between ice cream scooper and ice cream eater. They get it. They know extra hot fudge is more important to me than a slightly more visually appealing product. Who needs a pristine spoon? Not me. I need hot fudge and little else.
As a peanut butter fanatic, though, I didn't think the ice cream was peanut buttery enough. Don't you dare try to blame this on copious amounts of hot fudge--I won't stand for it! Another flavor on the menu, though, had caught my attention: snickerdoodle. Along with peanut butter dipped in chocolate, snickerdoodle is one of my favorite varieties of cookie--the doughier the better, which makes snickerdoodle ice cream a grand idea. So the next time I went, I tried it. Amazingly, it was everything I could ask for: thick and creamy with a buttery flavor and just the right amount of cinnamon. If cookie dough were ice cream, this would be it. I was on my way to meet a friend, and when I got there I naturally launched into a discussion of ice cream. It turns out he also was on a mission to go to all ice cream shops in Seattle (it's kind of the best mission) and Bluebird's snickerdoodle is one of his favorites. So, there are at least two people who love it.

I went back there again today and got a split scoop of snickerdoodle and salted caramel in a waffle cone and it was an absolute dream come true. It was my boyfriend's first time at Bluebird, and he got the Theo's chocolate chunk flavor. I'm not crazy about chocolate ice cream so I thought it was just okay, but he said he liked it better than Molly Moon's.
