Unfortunately, at this time, we do not. However, it's possible we will again in the future. If this is something you are interested in, please let us know by signing up for our newsletter, or sending an email to pintclub@blackdogchicago.com!

After your initial purchase which will be charged on the date or purchase, your credit card will be charged the fifth of every month*.

*Please note: this ongoing charge is only relevant to Pint Club Members who have purchased a Monthly Membership and remain active. Monthly members who skip the month or pause their subscription are not active members.

Orders must be placed by the following dates to pick up within the same month.

MONTHLY DEADLINES:

December 13th

January 14th

February 11th

March 10th

April 14th

May 12th

June 9th

If you miss the monthly ordering deadline, your pint pack will be available for pick-up on the following month with that month’s flavors. For example, if the monthly deadline is September 10th, orders placed on September 11th and on will be available for pick-up in October instead. If you would like the rotating FEATURED FLAVORS Pint Pack option, you will receive the featured flavors available during the month of pick-up/delivery, not the flavor menu for the month of order.

We currently offer three (3) Pint Pack options that include the following:

FEATURED FLAVORS are a rotating menu of Chef Jessie's special creations, including seasonal ingredients, fan favorites, and one-of-a-kind gelato flavors. 

SIGNATURE FLAVORS are a smaller rotating menu of our best sellers (think Goat Cheese Cashew Caramel, Mint Cookie etc.)

DAIRY FREE FLAVORS are a rotating menu of our favorite dairy-free creation

Check out the full flavor descriptions on the FLAVORS page. 

Unfortunately, no. We cannot yet accommodate custom orders or change pint flavors within each Flavor Collection!  Members who have purchased the Monthly Membership have the option to swap between the Pint Pack Flavor Collections as long as the change is completed prior to the monthly ordering deadline (see FAQs on monthly ordering deadline for exact cut-off each month), but we cannot swap individual flavors within the Pint Packs!  Monthly Members can swap Pint Pack flavor options by emailing pintclub@blackdogchicago.com or submitting a request through their member portal (after the first 3 months of membership). The swap option is not available for 3 or 6-Month Pint Pack Gift Subscriptions. 

Yes! Dairy-Free Pint Packs are available for the Monthly Membership, Gift Subscriptions, and single Pint Pack purchases! 

Check out the full flavor descriptions on the FLAVORS page!

If you are a Pint Club Member (i.e. you have purchased a Monthly Membership and have not paused your membership nor skipped the month), you have the option to swap amongst the Pint Packs flavor options. We recommend submitting your monthly swap by no later than the 5th of the month to have it fulfilled on that same month. The final monthly swap cut-off date is the same as the monthly ordering deadline, listed in the “Monthly Ordering Deadline,” section. Any swaps submitted after this deadline will not be fulfilled (original flavor pack selection will be included). Monthly Members can swap Pint Pack flavor options by emailing pintclub@blackdogchicago.com or submitting a request through their member portal (after the first 3 months of membership).  This is a perk specifically for active Pint Club Monthly Members only; unfortunately, at this time, swapping flavor packs is not an option for the 3 and 6 Month Gift Subscriptions. 

At this time, we do not offer shipping on any of our frozen products. However, we hope to in the future! If this is something you are interested in, please let us know by signing up for our newsletter, or sending an email to pintclub@blackdogchicago.com!

We do currently offer shipping on our products that do not need to be kept frozen.

Unfortunately, at this time, we do not. However, it's possible we will again in the future. If this is something you are interested in, please let us know by signing up for our newsletter, or sending an email to pintclub@blackdogchicago.com!

If you are a Pint Club Member you can elect to skip an order for the month when you are unable to make the pick-up in your member portal. Be sure to do this before your billing on the 5th! 

If you’d rather not skip a month, contact us at pintclub@blackdogchicago.com to let us know you’re unavailable on the designated pick-up/delivery weekend prior to the monthly deadline and we can change your pick up locaiton and weekend for the month.

Members are responsible for Pint Pack pick up on their pick up date and timeframe. If members miss their scheduled pick up their order will be available for pick up during shop hours for 1 month. Forgotten Pint Packs are discarded by Black Dog the Monday after the following month's pick up weekend and will not be refunded to the member or purchaser.

In order to send as a gift, please go to the Gift Collections Page on the Shopify site.

As of now, there is no way to include separate email addresses on the purchase for the purchaser and the gift recipient. As such, we recommend the following method to complete the purchase for the gift recipient: 

Use YOUR email address to complete the checkout process. 

If you are purchasing a membership for the recipient, you will need to create a Black Dog Shopify login, or login to your account to complete the purchase. 

When STORE PICKUP is selected, enter the RECIPIENT’S NAME & PHONE NUMBER ONLY under PICK-UP ADDRESS (store pick-up address information will automatically populate when this method is selected). Enter your information for billing. 

In addition to the purchase confirmation, we will follow-up with some instructions from pintclub@blackdogchicago.com to provide the recipient with an e-gift message. If you have not received a follow-up email within 24 business hours of purchase, please send an email to pintclub@blackdogchicago.com to request instructions. 

If purchasing a 3 or 6 Month Pint Pack Gift Subscription for the recipient, we also recommend switching over the account to their email address. Instructions will be provided to switch the email address (with the recipient’s permission) and an updated password reset link will be sent. 

As a Pint Club Member, you receive additional perks outside of monthly gelato that are rolled into the pricing. However, we understand that circumstances may arise that require you to cancel. In order to cover some of our initial costs, as well as provide a no-hassle approach to cancellation for members, we do require a minimum of 3 months of membership before cancellation. 

After the 3-month minimum, you can cancel at anytime through your member portal, as long as the cancellation request occurs prior to the monthly billing on the 5th. If the request to cancel occurs after the 5th, but before the monthly pick-up for that month, please reach out to pintclub@blackdogchicago.com for your options. Cancellation requests after the 5th of the month are not guaranteed, but we will do our best to work with every member to accommodate or refund the payment, if possible.
