  • The Little Baby’s Tricycle is Headed to Metropolitan Cafe

           image

    Rittenhouse-ers rejoice!  Thursdays are shaping up to be a big day at Metropolitan Bakery’s flagship 19th Street shop.  Lancaster Farm Fresh Coop CSA pick-up began just yesterday, Thursday May 16th, providing members with a weekly bundle of gorgeous local & organic produce well into the Fall, and now … this! —

    We are so pleased to announce that the Little Baby’s Ice Cream tricycle is heating up (or shall we say, cooling down) summer Thursdays at Metropolitan Cafe!

    That’s right- on Thursday, May 30th from 2-7pm and every last Thursday of the month thereafter through September, the gentelmen of Little Baby’s Ice Cream- the fast-famed, small batch & super premium Philly ice cream company known for its quality of daring and deliciously paired flavors- will park their tricycle in front of Metropolitan Cafe at 264 S 19th Street.  While the Little Baby’s flavors are always on the move, it’s safe to say that you can expect their mainstay flavors like Earl Grey Sriracha, Bourbon Bourbon Vanilla and Coconut Chai.  

    Can’t make it Thursdays?  Remember that the Metro Bakery 19th Street Shop now sells Little Baby’s pints for $7.25 a piece.  Just ask at the counter! 

    So grab a cone or a pint and enjoy Little Baby’s at their new outpost in Rittenhouse, courtesy of your friends at Metro.
