Butter Me Up has officially opened as a standalone restaurant in D.C., just a mile away from where it began popping up during the peak of the pandemic.

“We’re going to start off with what we know how to do. Then it’s only gonna get better,” says La Tejana co-owner Gus May.

Juiceries and shops around D.C. are taking considerable creative license with the original smoothie-like recipe.

Taylor Gourmet will launch a new breakfast menu at their 14th Street location beginning February 4.
