About

Meet Buttermilk Baby, a family-friendly slice of Americana, serving up familiar comfort foods using only the best ingredients in a delicious, candy-colored playground. Here, the biscuits are flaky, the chicken is crispy fried, the burgers are flat-top smashed, and the ice cream is soft serve bliss. Berg Hospitality's first fast-casual concept, Buttermilk Baby heralds a unique partnership with Carvel® Ice Cream, the iconic brand that revolutionized the country's love affair with soft serve. Think of Buttermilk Baby as your hometown diner in sundae mode: built with care, ladled with fun and topped with extra sprinkles of cool.

Buttermilk Baby is designed to thrill, excite and make memories. To bring this unique vision to life, Berg Hospitality sought the best in creative and innovative talents including New York-based design firm, ICRAVE, and longtime Berg collaborator, Gail McCleese of sensitori. The collaboration produced an animated dining wonderland where guests are greeted by pink cloud-shaped swings floating from a rainbow-colored arch at the entrance. The 3,100-square-foot interior is decorated with a life-size carousel horse, a giant ice cream sundae statue (complete with rotating cherry on top), neon signage, and a pastel color palette running through the 50-seat dining room. A river of sprinkles runs through the middle of a kid-friendly ice cream bar with seating for 10. Even for younger generations who aren't familiar with the American drug store soda fountain, the design's iconography will feel fascinating and familiar
