History

The company began in 2011, selling ice cream from tricycles.[1] A brick and mortar location opened in August 2012.[2] The company received national attention for a 2012 commercial, "This is a Special Time", in which a man apparently made of ice cream uses a spoon to consume ice cream from his own skull.[3][4] (The actual substance used was marshmallow cream.[5]) The company introduced pre-packaged ice cream pints in 2015 in containers similar to oyster pails.[6]

The company had locations in Philadelphia and Baltimore.[7] Along with pizza restaurant Pizza Brain, the company faced harassment from Pizzagate conspiracists.[8]

In November 2019, Little Baby's permanently closed.[9]

Products

The company was known for its specialty flavors, including Earl Grey, Sriracha, Vanilla Cardamom Cream, and Pizza.[10][11] In 2018, the company released a CBD-infused ice cream.[12]

Little Baby's had collaborated on foods with many other Philadelphia-based companies: pizza-flavored ice cream with Pizza Brain,[13] PYNK-flavored ice cream with Yards Brewing Company,[14] and multiple collaborations with Federal Donuts.[15]
