🎈❤️ WHAT. A. WEEKEND. ❤️🎈

We’re still trying to take it all in… Top Hat Creamery had a RECORD-BREAKING WEEKEND! 🍦🎉

First and foremost, a huge THANK YOU to everyone behind Balloons Over 66 and all of the events happening around town this weekend. The hours, planning, coordinating, problem-solving and hard work that go into bringing something like this to our community do not go unnoticed. You brought so many people to Lincoln, gave families a reason to make memories here, and gave our little downtown a chance to absolutely SHINE. 🎈

And to every single person who walked through our doors this weekend — THANK YOU. Whether you were a familiar face, visiting Lincoln for the first time, here for balloons, art, music, baseball, or just happened to find us along the way… we are so grateful you chose to make Top Hat part of your weekend.

There were lines. There was a whole lot of scooping. There were tired feet and sticky counters. 😂 And somehow, there was more ice cream served than we’ve ever served before.

For a small, locally owned business, a weekend like this means more than you probably realize. Every cone, cup, Lotus, sundae and shake supports our shop, our employees and our ability to keep doing what we love right here in Downtown Lincoln.

We are exhausted. We are grateful. And our hearts are VERY full. ❤️

Thank you, Lincoln. Thank you to our visitors. And thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make this weekend one we’ll never forget.

🎈🍦 RECORD. BREAKING. WEEKEND. 🍦🎈

We couldn’t have done it without all of you. ❤️

☀️ What a summer! 🍦❤️

We can’t thank you enough for another amazing summer at Top Hat Creamery! From hot afternoons and late-night scoops to Dole Whip swirls, Lotus drinks and seeing so many familiar faces walk through our doors—you kept us busy, and we are so grateful. 🥰

But backpacks are packed, alarms are set, and our summer crew is heading back to school…which means it’s officially time for BACK-TO-SCHOOL HOURS! 🎒📚🍦

We’ll still be here scooping up your favorites—just on a slightly different schedule. Thank you for supporting our little shop all summer long and for continuing to make Top Hat part of your family’s traditions.

Here’s to a great school year for all of our students, teachers, staff and families! ❤️
