Black Cat's new store opens

Black Cat Ice Cream opens its second location Tuesday in Valley Junction.

Flashback: Tuesday also marks the 10th anniversary of owner Alex Carter beginning to make ice cream at local farmers markets, he tells Axios.

The business operated in the former Gas Lamp building downtown before moving to the Drake neighborhood in 2019.

On the menu: About a dozen daily flavors, including cream cheese lemon cake, blueberry pancake, and the spicy killer bee ice creams.

If you go: Tuesday-Sunday 1-7pm.
