Bardot is a very unique brand with a line of luxury ice cream treats on a stick that puts regular ice cream bars to shame. Each bar is like a work of art - hand-made in every step of the process and layered with premium flavors so that you get the full sensory experience in each bite. The 1,000 square-ft shop will house vibrantly colored bars that will be lined up in glass display cases, replicating the same experience as shopping for jewelry.

Bardot will offer two collections of bars to choose from, the Classic Collection ($5.80) and the Bardot Collection ($6.20). The Classic Collection features flavors like “Deep Thoughts” with fresh mint and “Ebony & Ivory” with mascarpone and dulce de leche.

Bardot will also offer a Kids Collection ($2.80) with smaller treats such as the “Twinkle Twinkle” with cotton candy.
