Matthew grew up with Crested Butte as a second home and his family's favorite place on earth.  After changing careers in 2018, Matthew, Lydia, and Genevieve packed up and moved to Crested Butte from Oklahoma for a fresh start and a new adventure.

​

In 2019 we opened Tin Cup Pasty Co., a British mining inspired restaurant on Elk Avenue.  With the pandemic and labor and housing crises only getting harder, we transitioned first to a sandwich, soup and salad spot and then to an ice cream and dessert shop, which is really where are hearts and minds want to be.  Lydia is a baker and in addition to ice cream, she makes custom cakes, cookies, cupcakes and so much more.

A bit about Third Bowl Homemade Ice Cream

Made from Scratch in Small Batches in Hotchkiss, Colarado

Kendall Tanslersky and Matt Smith started Third Bowl Homemade Ice Cream right here in Crested Butte in the summer of 2012. Immediately it became everyones favorite ice cream. When the pandemic hit and they were forced to make some business decisions, they called us to see if we couldn't find a way to work together.  They moved production to Hotchkiss, Colorado, allowing them to expand their grocery and retail business across the Western Slope. It's been an exciting relationship as they continue to produce the greatest ice cream in the world, while we get to scoop it and share the experience with our favorite locals and tourists.
