Since pedal into our nitty-gritty on a custom - built ice cream tricycle in 2011,Little Baby’shas established itself as a place where frozen dreams come up truthful . Wherepizza becomes dessert . Where " PiesCream " is a word . Where vegans know joyousness . ( Where dreaming can become nightmarishcommercial spots . ) Where even Apium graveolens dulce – yes , that celery– has a shot at center stage .
" I ’ve always feel like celery was an underutilized tone , " saysLittle Baby’sco - beginner , Pete Angevine , of one of his favorite concoction , Strawberry Celery . " It ’s mostly piddle , but it has a lot of flavor – it ’s not just a brother to a carrot . "
Strawberry Celery is just one of the limited - clock time look to attend out for onLittle Baby’sever - evolving summertime carte du jour . star local green goods supplied by the likes of Greensgrow Farms and Philly Foodworks , the seasonal batting order includes Blueberry Ginger , Peach Granola , and the fan fave , winking - and - you’ll - missy - it Blackberry Sage .

More of a purist ? Traditional flavors such as Coffee Toffee stand by around for the summer . calculate to broaden your ice cream horizons ? Ranch , Everything Bagel , Spicy Honey Mustard , and a full fare of non - dairy options beckon .
" We wish to think of things that are successful as food pairing , but you would n’t expect to find together in ice cream , " Angevine explains of a scheme that has churned out the likes of Balsamic Banana and Cucumber Dill . " We seek to create an environment where there are n’t any rules , but we ’re always asking , ' What makes this Babysian ? ' "
Most of the time , this route - less - taken approach leads to greatness ( see : Rose Pistachio , Vanilla Cardamom , and , against all earthly odds , the infamous Earl Grey Sriracha ) . But every once in for a while , theBaby’screw find out the voiceless way what you happen out on that fateful morning of starter class : alcoholic drink and cereal do not play nice .

This summer finds the team traveling to DC for special guest appearance at Union Market , and its pre - jammed pints are slow but surely down up in retail merchant up and down the East Coast .
