Miami, FL – 19 February 2026 – NAI Miami | Fort Lauderdale is pleased to announce the expansion of Cry Baby Creamery newest retail location in South Kendall located at Cortland Plaza, 12700 SW 122nd Avenue, Miami, FL 33186. Represented by Joe Gallaher, Partner, and Valentina Tawil, this 1,589-square-foot end-cap space marks the company’s second store opening in 2026 with many more soon to come.

Following the success of its original Palmetto Bay flagship—widely recognized as a cult-favorite Miami ice cream destination—Cry Baby Creamery expanded into West Kendall in January (15707 SW 56th Street) and now into South Kendall in February. Founded by award-winning pastry chef Stephanie Diaz, the brand has built a loyal following through its nostalgic, playful identity and bold flavors including Viva Pastelito, Café con Ron, and Pitorro de Coco.

“Opening in Kendall hits a little differently since it’s home for me,” said Diaz, “We can’t wait to be part of the neighborhood and share all the things that make it special with the community I grew up in.”

“Choosing locations that serve specific residential communities rather than only high-tourism or regional destinations was key for our client,” said Gallaher. “The West and South Kendall market continues to attract growing retail concepts seeking long-term positioning in high-demand trade areas and provides Cry Baby with a strong accessibility as the company continues to expand locally.”

This successful collaboration between NAI Miami | Fort Lauderdale and Cry Baby Creamery further reinforce the brand’s commitment to growth and expansion across South Florida’s key markets.

“Opening our third location represents an important milestone for us,” said Diaz. “South Kendall is a strong market, and we look forward to building on the momentum we’ve created across Miami-Dade County.”
