RICHMOND, Va. β€” Bitter cold temperatures and strong wind gusts couldn't stop dedicated folks from celebrating National Ice Cream for Breakfast Day at Gelati Celesti.

The locally-owned chain opened its doors at 9 a.m. Saturday, allowing customers to trade their bowls of cereal for bowls of ice cream despite the frigid weather conditions.

In honor of the holiday, Gelati Celesti offered three limited-edition, breakfast-inspired flavors: Cereal Milk, Roast Rider Espresso and B-Side Bakehouse's Pear Almond Pastry.

The shops also offered free donuts with any ice cream purchase to celebrate the occasion. Gelati Celesti gave out around 1,000 donuts company-wide throughout the day.
