BUSHWICK, BROOKLYN — Bark once for a scoop of vanilla, twice for peanut butter banana butt.

Ollie's Ice Cream + Stuff, the new Bushwick parlor serving ice creams for pups and human pals, officially opened its doors at 158 Irving Ave. this weekend, the owners announced on Instagram.

"Thank you for such an incredible opening weekend," the Ollie's team wrote. "It’s gonna be an awesome summer!"

Photos posted over the weekend show that both two- and four-legged clients bounded to the canine ice creamery on Sunday.

In fact, Bushwickers slurped up so much of the human and canine ice cream that Ollie's was forced to close four hours early on Sunday when it ran out of scoops, the owners wrote.

Flavors for humans include midnight chocolate chip, nitro cold brew, dairy-free coconut and can be topped with Swedish fish, graham cracker crumbs, Lucky Charms marshmallows and, of course, sprinkles.

Peanut Butter Banana Butt, which costs $;2.50, can be topped with mini dog treats, or not.

Bushwick Daily was first to report that local Eric Kyriakopoulos, 34, would be launch his new shop with 10 ice cream flavors for humans and a more limited selection for dogs.

Why? That question is best answered by a neon sign that hangs inside Ollie's.
