Ice Cream Sandwich Truck

April 9th, 2010

When I was a kid, there was no sweeter sound than the melodic chime of an ice cream truck.   Even though I always got the same thing (a Drumstick), I loved the process of checking out all of the different icy treats to finally settle on my usual.  A new truck has rolled into town, but this one requires some serious thought.   You get to choose the kind of cookie and the all-natural ice cream that will be sandwiched in between for a completely customizable treat.  I chased down the Coolhaus truck on a sunny afternoon this week and I already know that I’ll be scheduling another rendezvous in the very near future.

    Killing me. But I can’t let myself fall prey to ice cream sandwiches, not with Diddy Reese as close as it is. I’d be over there all the time.

    You should go to Diddy Riece in Westwood. The BEST ice cream sandwiches…for only $1.00!

    That sounds amazing! The ice cream truck rarely made its way to our neck of the woods growing up, but I also lived out in the middle of nowhere.

    Ok, amazing. And shit. Because now I really want one. Anyway, I can dream. Chocolate cookie + red velvet icecream + questionably edible wrapper = ohmygodyum

    Looks super yum!
    And edible wrapper?! Eco-chic!

    no WAY!!! we never get anything like that in england- not even in england i don’t think!
    I don’t think I’ve ever been more jealous of another person’s ice cream in my life!

    Oh wow! I love that truck too! I would order snickerdoodle cookie w/vanilla bean for a classic taste!

    Thanks for sharing!

    That looks so delicious! I must investigate and see whether a similar truck exists in NYC. We basically have a truck for everything else :)

    This is about as equally amazing as the Grilled Cheese Truck that roams LA. Food trucks are the best – I’m going to have to start stalking this one as well hehe.

    yum! ice cream was totally one of those things that was so so difficult to give up when i went vegan. luckily, stogo in nyc’s east village makes amazing vegan ice creams and chocolates. i’m a humungo fan of their mint chocolate chip flavor (and you can even sandwich them between some of their vegan chocolate chip cookies or something…they sell babycakes). if any of you ever wanna try it out it’s on 10th street and 2nd ave and fully worth the trip!
