~We will be posting our THANKSGIVING MENU online and sending it out via email on Wednesday, 11/1.  All of the details will be there, so if you are thinking ahead [always appreciated], we have you covered.
~Then our CHRISTMAS MENU will be posted and emailed out on 11/15. If you haven’t experienced our Christmas menu in prior years, you are in for a treat… many treats that is.  This is our busiest and most exciting season of the year.  
~Our hours change from Thanksgiving through New Years.  Specific hours during this time will be included with each menu and posted on our website.  These pick up times are firmly set so that we can professionally manage the sheer volume of holiday orders we receive.
~Bettersweet will be closed for our annual winter break from January 1st-16th.  We always like to give everyone an early heads up!

It’s always a quick change over from the spring to the summer season here at BSB. Here’s a few items we wanted to let you read over:
