Celebrate National Ice Cream for Breakfast Day with breakfast-inspired sweets this weekend

On at least one day of the year, it’s totally acceptable to indulge in a pint of cookie dough ice cream before noon. On Saturday, Feb. 1, ice cream lovers all over the world can rejoice in their love of consuming the sweet treat before an acceptable time on Ice Cream for Breakfast Day. And, conveniently, Jubie’s Creamery in Fairborn is hosting its very own ode to this special holiday.

Celebrate Ice Cream for Breakfast Day at Jubie’s Creamery in Fairborn by digging into specialty hot chocolate and coffee floats and ice cream with other breakfast-inspired flavors — all while still in your pajamas. (And yes, in this instance, it is perfectly acceptable to wear your pajamas in public — after all, you’re already consuming ice cream for breakfast).

On this particular day, visitors to Jubie’s Creamery can find donut sundaes (using donuts from Bill’s Donut Shop), hot chocolate and coffee floats and Cinnamon Toast Crunch ice cream (is your stomach growling yet?!) all on the special menu.

Jubie’s Creamery will be opening early, at 9 a.m., to serve up these sweet treats. A portion of the proceeds from this event will be donated to the Fairborn YMCA. The creamery will also be honoring their original hours (1-9 p.m.) after the event, though be sure to get there before 1 p.m. to indulge in the sweet treats on the special event menu.
