    Unveiling the Meaning Behind Brown Buttah's Name

    In 2013, after several name changes, the name Brown Buttah was chosen for its rarity and significance. The founder, coming from the food industry, was always captivated by the unique aroma of brown butter.

    “I finally created a name that just made sense to me! At the time I was looking for something that was rare but also had meaning behind it. Working in the food industry! I was rare! Brown Butter I loved the way it smelled it took over the entire kitchen! When trying anything with brown butter its presence was always the strongest.

    Brown Buttah aims to provide everlasting memories through your taste buds. I changed the "er" in butter to pay homage to my great aunts of Trinidadian descent who made a living off selling their sweet treats to the neighborhood! They would of pronounced it Brown Butt^AH. Brown Buttah represents the fusion modern french pastry and classic Caribbean pastry.
