After the warmest January on record, we’re starting to prepare for another HOT summer in Seattle. There are whispers around the Sandwich Lab of a Homegrown Ice Cream Sandwich. Brad is pretty intent on coming up with the perfect frozen sammie, to be wrapped and sold on-the-go this summer.
We’re planning to partner up with one of Seattle’s own ice cream makers and we are playing with the idea of baking our own “bread” – to make a chipwich of sorts. There have been some crazy flavor combos thrown around, but I’m pushing for something simple and timeless, like a polka dot bow tie. Maybe a little chocolate chip cookie/coffee ice cream combo or thin mints w/choc-chip mint ice cream in the middle.
Would love to get a little battery-powered freezer and sell them out of the HG tricycle outside late-night spots around town. Kings Hardware on Friday’s, the Cha Cha on Saturdays – of course we’d throw in the Fremont love as well.
Please send in your dream flava-combos and we’ll make it happen.
Yesss! Just the HG treat I’ve been waiting for! In fact, I am going to move back to Seattle this summer just so I can try one. I would like to see one using a molasses cookie…Perhaps paired with a french vanilla ice cream.
I personally would love a toffee chip cookie with some butter pecan or caramel-flavored ice cream. Or if you’re thinking simpler cookie, more meaty inside how about a snickerdoodles with pralines and cream?

i’m sad that you guys aren’t open for dinner anymore. i enjoyed having a healthier option for dinner time. do you think you might change your hours for the summer?
Have no fear, we’re sad about it too and we’ll be opening for dinner on the weekends starting this spring – stay tuned on dates and times
YUM! Looking forward to the summer!
How about a perfect gingersnap with lemon sherbert? And if you are going to do ice cream, you need to make your own chocolate lined cones, too…using Theo Chocolate…
All are amazing ideas. This will be the most fun tasting ever! Lunch sandwiches, dinner sandwiches, ice cream sandwiches… what’s next?
