With Molly Moon's and Old School busy duking it out, one more Capitol Hill dessert eatery enters the fray: Bluebird, which appears to be going into the old On the House space on Pike at 12th.

A few years ago, neighborhood ice cream places like Wally's and The Mix started falling off the map and the situation became one of going to Cold Stone or Haagen Dazs, or going ice cream-less. Then Molly Moon's opened in Wallingford and people flocked to it. Then another one opened on Capitol Hill and everyone acted like they'd never had a scoop of damn iced cream before, lining up down the block for the salted caramel (too true to its name) or balsamic strawberry (pretty good).

If you are a sane person and would not consider standing in a line this long for ice cream, even that of Molly Moon's quality standards, we have good news for you: Old School Frozen Custard is open [1316 E Pike Street].

We've long believed that frozen custard and Seattle would dovetail nicely. Not only is frozen custard the platonic ideal of rich, creamy frozen desserts--Seattle is also chockablock full of transplanted Sconnies like us. Frozen custard has come nearby, though we've not yet made the pilgrimage, because nothing other than Old School Frozen Custard tempts us towards Bonney Lake. But it's never made it to the city. Until now.
