"Ben Berg’s playful rendition of the vintage soda fountain shop makes diners feel like a kid in a candy shop. Buttermilk Baby’s eye-catching interior boasts vibrant hues, a life-sized carousel horse, an oversized sundae statue, and a charming ice cream bar with a sprinkle-filled center. Not only are buttermilk biscuits available, but the entire menu is kid-friendly with options like chicken sandwiches, burgers, chicken fingers, sweet potato fries, and grilled cheese. The true draw here is the dessert — Buttermilk Baby is the first Texas purveyor of Carvel ice cream. Choose from indulgent ice cream sandwiches, cakes, and soft serve, or an adult-only boozy milkshake." - Brianna Griff
"Ready for a dose of nostalgia? Located in M-K-T in the Heights, this cute and colorful family-friendly hangout serves Carvel’s iconic soft-serve ice cream, cakes, milkshakes, boozy creations, and comforting diner-style fare among its kitschy, vintage-style decor. Settle in next to its soda fountain or under its massive ice cream sundae sculpture while digging into stacks of buttermilk pancakes and stuffed biscuit concoctions for breakfast. Buttermilk’s lunch and dinner menu is just as enticing, with buttermilk and Southern-fried chicken sandwiches, baskets of tenders, smash burgers, corndogs, and hot dogs made with Texas wagyu beef. Then, unwind with a boozy Bailey’s Oreo shake while swinging on the patio in one of its pink cloud chairs." - Brittany Britto Garley
"This Heights newcomer offers a pink wonderland of fun on average, with fanciful milkshakes and ice cream treats made from Carvel, and this December, it’s kicking things up a notch. Head to Buttermilk Baby between 5 p.m. and 8 p.m. on Wednesday, December 11, to pose for a picture with a pink Santa. The ice cream shop and restaurant will also be decked out in pink and shimmering Christmas decor and will offer free hot chocolate with pink marshmallows. Diners can also try out its holiday drinks menu, which features boozy eggnog shakes and frozen peppermint hot chocolate frappes." - Brittany Britto Garley

"This all-day cafe in MKT Heights serves Carvel signature soft-serve in Texas for the first time alongside breakfast items like pancakes and biscuit sandwiches, smash burgers, corn dogs, and baked goods, offering 10 Carvel soft-serve flavors used in creations such as boozy adult milkshakes and customizable sundaes; the opening was strong enough that Carvel and Berg plan additional Texas locations, including a second outpost for Sugar Land." - Brittany Britto Garley
