The year is quickly coming to an end, and that means that you only have a few more days to get your Tubby Robot fix until our short winter recess.

In celebration of the season, we've got a few specialty items ready for you and yours:

• Our from-scratch Pizzelle Cones are based on beloved Italian Christmas cookies, flavored with just the right amount of anise to inspire cozy feelings of home (yours or someone else's!)
  
  
• Peppermint White Chocolate ice cream is finally here, featuring white chocolate stracciatella and crushed candy canes.
  
  
• Big Ginger Cookies have arrived care of our friends at My Sweet Gluttony, and we have an accompanying sundae topped with homemade caramel sauce and whipped cream.

Our last day of operation in 2025 will be December 23rd, so be sure to stop by before then!

Folks, today is a special day for a PILE of reasons.

For the first time ever, we have an honest-to-goodness ROBOT on the premises. It's built and operated by Robotics Team 1218 at Springside Chestnut Hill, and it's frankly amazing. They'll be showcasing their creation all afternoon, so stop by to see what some of the best and brightest local high schoolers have been up to.

It is in fact Small Business Saturday, and we are participating in a few ways:

• We are part of the Manayunk Shop Small Passport program, which means that folks who visit 6 or more participating Manayunk businesses will earn a $25 gift certificate.
• This is the only day of the year that we offer discounted pints, which are on sale for $9 today only.
• Seasonal specialties like Walnut Coffee Cake Sundaes and from-scratch Hot Chocolate are ready for you!

Tonight is Manayunk's tree lighting ceremony!

Running from 5:30pm through 7:00pm there will be music and mirth a-plenty at Canal View park.

To contribute to the festive spirit, we're unveiling our own seasonal light show AND we'll be serving our beloved from-scratch Hot Chocolate. Come get it while it's hot!

EATER BEWARE, YOU'RE IN FOR A SCARE!

We can't resist terrible wordplay, so we brought back our cult classic flavor Spookies & Scream. It's an unholy amalgamation of Chocolate and Cookies & Cream, and we suspect you'll end up howling for more.

It's no secret that Autumn is among the finest quadrants of the year. Here at Tubby, we're serving up our beloved S'more Sundae, along with a host of seasonally-appropriate ice cream flavors: Pumpkin Pie, Butter Pecan, and the indelible Harvest Apple.

We have another menu item or two up our sleeves as we get deeper into spooky season, so check in regularly if you don't want to miss a thing. Like Aerosmith.

We're in the thick of Manayunk Restaurant Week and it's been BUSY here on Main Street.

Our Restaurant Week menu item is a 6-scoop ice cream flight for $15. If you've every wanted to eat *a little bit of everything* at our shop, this is a good time to stop by.

Restaurant Week deals end after Sunday, 9/14!

This week has been gorgeous, and that's not a word we typically throw around. To enjoy this weather to its fullest, we have a STACKED deck of specialty sundaes on offer.

The most recent addition is the Blueberry Buckler Sundae, which features a blueberry muffin baked by My Sweet Gluttony and a drizzle of pure honey.

In addition to that, we're still selling G.W Carvers for the peanut butter lovers, Cookies Sandwiches with chocolate chip cookies, Belgian Waffle Sundaes, and all of our recurring menu items.

That's more than you should eat in one visit, so you might have to come a few times to cover your bases.

It's a beautiful day out there, and that makes it even more difficult to announce that we will be closed today, Friday August 22nd.

One of our neighbors has suffered a water main break and the utilities have been shut down for all of the properties on our side of the block. We haven't been given a timeline for when we'll be back up and running, but as soon as we are we will certainly let you all know.

Peanut butter lovers, your time is NOW.

The G.W. Carver sundae is back this weekend, and boy does it stick to a theme. It starts with a scoop of Peanut Butter Fudge Swirl ice cream and is topped with Reese's Pieces, peanut butter sauce, and a dolop of whipped cream. This is all capped off with half of a Peanut Butter Chocolate Ganache Cookie, baked fresh by our friends at My Sweet Gluttony.

Supplies are limited, so get them while they last!

Most of tonight's Stroll After Hours festivities have been cancelled due to the weather. Here at Tubby, however, we're still selling Cookie Sandwiches with a brand new type of cookie: Chocolate White Chocolate Chip!

Yes, that is an insane combination of words to string together, but we assure you that they add up to something DELICIOUS. As usual, we're giving all props to My Sweet Gluttony for their baking benevolence.
