About Us
Making every day a treat day
Slope is a seasonal Ice Cream shop located at 231 S Front Street in downtown Dowagiac, right next to City Hall. We will be featuring Soft Serve Ice Cream and a variety of frozen treats! We've been working hard since acquiring the space to get it and ourselves in tip top shape to serve you this summer! We are SO excited to show you what we've been working on!
Over the past 10 years, owners Jordan and Hector have built The Baker's Rhapsody into a staple of the community in the heart of downtown. We are so excited to apply our experience and knowledge to this new venture!
Whether its been jobs scooping ice cream on the beach in South Haven, his culinary school training, or the thousands of cones and frozen treats he's enjoyed over the years, Jordan is no stranger to ice cream. He and his team love to create unique and creative takes on classic flavor combinations and cannot wait to share their new creations with you!
Why Slope?
So why did we choose the name Slope?
Because we liked it!
But really, we wanted a name that hinted at what we do: make delicious and fun frozen treats! Slope, as in a ski slope, has the connection to chilly winter fun that we were looking for. Chilly and fun like the treats we're dishing out. Not to mention its just a fun word to say! And if you take a second to say it to yourself, we quickly discovered another connection we loved.... OPE!
Its a midwest classic! Its been made into memes and saying it just feels right! Ope! We loved how the word Slope incorporated a popular part of midwest culture and we tried to emphasize our midwest home in the design of our logo. Note how the word Slope not only slopes upward, just like a mountain slope, but also highlights the letters O P E.
So join us this summer as we launch a new adventure down at Slope!
