Ice Cream Food Truck Catering in Charlotte
Need an icy-cool crowd-pleaser for your next event in the Queen City? Best Food Trucks delivers the very best Charlotte ice cream food truck catering straight to your curb, whether you’re setting up outside Bank of America Stadium, throwing a birthday bash in Ballantyne, or keeping employees happy in Uptown.
Our hand-picked lineup of dessert and frozen-treat specialists keeps Charlotte’s notorious summer humidity at bay with creamy, flavorful scoops, Italian ices, and creative sundaes. From neighborhood block parties in NoDa to corporate picnics at Freedom Park, we make it easy to book the perfect ice cream truck and add a sweet Southern twist to any gathering.
Check out a few local favorites ready to roll up and chill you out:
- Rita's Italian Ice of Ballantyne – Famous for vibrant, dairy-free Italian ices that melt hearts, not just cones. Their mango and Black Cherry ices are Charlotte staples after a day of shopping at StoneCrest.
- Queens Ice – Soft-serve royalty serving classic vanilla, chocolate, and swirl plus specialty toppings fit for the Queen City.
- Hip Hop Smoothies – Beat the heat with frosty fruit blends and ice-cream-infused shakes that’ll have your taste buds dancing down Tryon Street.
- Chips & Dips – Not ice cream, but their famous BBQ Nachos and the legendary “BBQ Sundae” (pulled pork over baked beans, slaw & sauce) pair perfectly with a cone in hand.
- A Little Taste Of Chicago – Cap off a loaded Chicago dog with a rich chocolate shake for the ultimate comfort combo.
Locals rave about the creamy textures, farm-fresh North Carolina dairy, and inventive flavors—think honey-lavender inspired by Dilworth markets or mint-chocolate sourced from local cocoa roasters. Plus, our mobile ordering system keeps lines short, so guests can get back to cheering on the Hornets or exploring the trails at Whitewater Center.

Brian was fabulous, fun and professional! All our 40 guests LOVED the tacos and the service. Many have asked for Brian's contact information to write positive reviews and to use his services at their own parties. Thumbs up!!!

Loved this food truck, both the food and the crew! They were wonderful, kind and very quick. The price was not too bad for what we got and we'd love to host with them again!

The burgers were delicious, as always. We never miss having Tampa Burgers, even if we still call them Shula burgers. Cooked perfectly and never dry or overdone.
