Walking shoes? Check. Water bottle? Check. Snacks for the kids? Check. A family full of smiling faces after walking a whole mile to Indiana knowing you’ll have to walk another back to Kentucky? Didn’t think so. That’s what the folks at Pearl Street Treats are for!
Since opening in the spring of 2014, Pearl Street Treats has been charming patrons of the Big Four Walking Bridge with its adorable cottage-style building and inviting menu of afternoon snacks, yet has somehow remained one of the town’s best kept secrets.
Located conveniently next to the base of the Big Four Walking Bridge ramp in Jeffersonville, Pearl Street Treats caters to everyone who needs a little pick-me-up when crossing the Ohio River. They’ll even refill your personal water bottle for free! And with classic snacks like freshly popped popcorn, Coney dogs, and gourmet potato chips, it’s a wonder anyone ever chooses to make the trip back across the bridge to Kentucky!
But deliciously savory delights aren’t all Pearl Street Treats is known for. This adorable little café also offers a list of six rotating frozen yogurt flavors with over 20 different toppings to choose from to make the perfect low-fat snack for any bridge-walker. And don’t forget about their fresh coffee, cappuccino, and variety of lattes. And for the kids, hot chocolate topped with homemade marshmallows! Yum!
And although dogs are no longer allowed to cross the Big Four Bridge, Pearl Street Treats still keeps them in mind and have extended their menu to include an assortment of Booker’s Frozen Dog Treats. After all, your furry friend deserves a treat after being left alone while you take yourself for a walk.
So when you find yourself searching for something fun and inexpensive to do with the whole family this summer, remember that Pearl Street Treats is right across the river located at 301 Pearl St. in Jeffersonville.
