Got some very sweet 4-legged treats to share this morning. Our friends Evan and Amy raise beautiful Golden Retriever pups, see Mckinneygoldens for details. They brought a pair by the shop last Friday night and we sure appreciated the puppy love! They have several available if anyone is interested in welcoming the love and friendship of a dog into their lives. We here at the Barlor simply adore all of them and know they’ll all go to wonderful new homes. Our shelter here Collin County Animal Services also has many dogs looking for homes as well if training up a pup might be too much for you to handle. Treat yourself to some of the best companionship a human can have in this world, get you a dog this Spring! We have 3… 🐶🐶🐶
Lots of sun today (if the chemtrail planes stay away) but dang it’s kinda cold out there too. The wind yesterday brought that cold air in and our high temp will only reach 49 degrees. Might even get down to freezing tonight but warm days rebound quickly and we might even see 90 degrees by Saturday. How very dramatic indeed! Friday will feel like Summer is coming and so too are Ariana Ortiz Music and Mark Lafon Music to play the night away… 🤠
Make this week one to remember forever. If you’ve been thinking about getting a dog there’s no better time than the present! Whether it’s a pup or an older more relaxed dog I can guarantee there’s one out there who will change your life for the better! There’s very little in this world quite like the love of a dog and we can’t recommend their companionship highly enough.

A beautiful Springtime Sunday deserves a delicious Springlike sundae and I got one right here! A “Strawberry Dreams Forever” together with “Nana’s Banana Puddin’” banana split! Sprinkle some chopped walnuts over hot chocolate fudge, top with our house bourbon vanilla whipped cream and a cherry as always for good luck… 🍒
Sunday scripture: Acts 9:23 KJB… “And after that many days were fulfilled, the Jews took counsel to kill him:”
With great power comes even greater responsibility. The Jewish people back in the days of the apostles ministries had lost political power, being subservient to Rome, and their spiritual authority was taken from them by God in Acts 7. The Kingdom saints starting with Peter are about to learn this fact but the religious leaders are just getting started. One of their own has been turned away from religion to Christ and they are none too happy.
Acts 9:24 KJB… “But their laying await was known of Saul. And they watched the gates day and night to kill him.”
Saul and the company of saints are aware of the plans however…
Acts 9:25 KJB… “Then the disciples took him by night, and let him down by the wall in a basket.”
…and Saul makes an escape. We learn (comparing scriptures) that some time passes here and also where Saul went after avoiding capture.
Galatians 1:15-18 KJB… “But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me; but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen days.”
Three years pass with Saul in Arabia. It is possible (likely, I think) that his time was spent around or upon Mount Sinai in Arabia (Gal 4:25) where God communed with Moses because Saul has a tremendous amount to learn before heading back to Jerusalem.
I’d like to recommend the book titled “Moses and Paul” by CR Stam. It is an enlightening look at arguably the two most important men in human history. a.co/d/0g5QCWmS

St. Patrick’s Day is on the way and we got drinks fit for the Irish in everyone! This one here is called “The Wheel” and is a combination of Teeling Whiskey, Aperol, lime juice, a bit of simple syrup and just a spritz of Absinthe as an aromatic! This one has it all y’all, complexity and deliciousness all in one sip; and there’s lots more where that one came from too… 😉
An absolutely beautiful Saturday today with lots of sun and a high of 81! More of the same for Sunday with seasonable overnight lows in the mid 50’s. A cold front moves in early Monday morning and the highs will struggle to get over 50 but things warm up again quickly and we’ll be back in the 70’s by Wednesday.
Downtown’s gonna be jumpin’ this weekend doncha know and the theme is green… ☘️☘️☘️ Get your Irish on and come have some fun! A mug of green beer is a must have at The Celt Irish Pub then walk around the corner and come see us for sweet boozy treats and crafty Irish cocktails too! St. Patrick’s Day might be Tuesday but we’re celebratin’ it all weekend long and you don’t wanna miss out on the fun! We’ll look forward to seeing YOU there on the square before the day is through… 😁

Customer reviews
What our customers say about us
Posted on Royce WalstonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cocktail Creamery is hands-down the best ice cream experience we’ve ever had. The ice cream was unbelievably creamy—easily the most delicious we’ve ever tasted. Every flavor is rich, smooth, and perfectly crafted. Sharyn made the visit even better—she has an amazing personality and is an absolute delight to talk with. Beyond the ice cream, they offer a full cocktail bar, vegan sorbets, live music, and an incredible atmosphere. They also provide wedding and event services, including boozy ice cream catering and bar options, which is such a unique and memorable touch for couples. This place is pure magic.Posted on Phyllis GoenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Went on a Wednesday they had karaoke going and some good singers. Will be going back for ice cream and drinks.Posted on Cat HKTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Review at new location: Been here many times after their move. Just adding some pictures. Cocktail Creamery is always our family's favorite ice cream place. Review at previous location: I'm not an icecream person but I LOVE this place. Went there twice, owner Sharyn was friendly and very knowledgeable. With hers and staff Jonathan's recommendations, we picked our favorites after sampling different offerings. Best icecream ever! Alcohol infused did help in my case. ;) Other than exceptional icecream, Cocktail Creamery itself is worth a visit. I just can't get enough of how cozy and unique it is. That's why so many pictures here to share. Will try their breakfast/lunch next time. Highly recommend.Posted on Jessica Walker (Jess)Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We love this place! First visit—mother daughter valentine date ..one on one! Tammy and Tish made us the best coffee we’ve had in a long time! Clean, great service!! we set up at the bar. We will definitely be back yummy!!! Thanks for the great mother, daughter, valentine memory ever!Posted on AQUALUX AUTO DETAILINGTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We really needed to get the kids out of the house in this weather, and Cocktail Creamery was the perfect choice. I had a great time chatting with the owner about how they got the business started as a fellow local business owner, I really respect the hustle and passion that goes into a place like this. The service was top-notch. They even went the extra mile and took my wife’s order over the phone so everything was ready for us. The atmosphere is fun, the treats are excellent, and it’s exactly the kind of place you want to support. Grateful they were open and welcoming to the family. We’ll definitely be back!Posted on X'clusive LooksTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
