She said they will open noon to 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 4 through Saturday, April 8 as students at Dayton Public Schools are on spring break and as Rabbit Hole Book hosts an Easter event.

I Heart Ice Cream has a brick-and-mortar location inside Rabbit Hole Books, a secondhand bookstore with thousands of books for all ages costing $1 each.

Cortes said they are offering a limited menu with the addition of coffee and bubble tea. Bubble tea is exclusively available at this location.
