Sweet Home Chicago: Dessert Food Truck Catering That Hits the Spot
From the Ferris wheel lights of Navy Pier to late-night strolls down the Riverwalk, Chicagoans know how to cap off a good time—with dessert. Best Food Trucks brings that same Windy City magic to your wedding, corporate outing, block party, or Bears watch-party through our Chicago dessert food truck catering service. When you roll in one of our trucks, the aroma of fresh-baked goodies turns any West Loop loading dock or South Side backyard into an instant pop-up bakery.
We don’t believe in fridge-stale pies or “yesterday” cupcakes. Our partners bake, scoop, and swirl everything to order, keeping the vibe as fresh as a summer day at Millennium Park. If a pudding so much as sees a metal lid for too long, we send it packing faster than a gust off Lake Michigan. Quality matters here—just ask the Dessert Warriors on our team who taste-test every new recipe before it ever hits the streets of Chicago.
Ready to book? Here are a few local favorites you can reserve through Best Food Trucks right now:
- A.Sweets Girl – Artisanal cakes, cake jars, and coffee drinks that make rush-hour traffic on the Dan Ryan feel like a distant memory.
- Ms Tittle's Cupcakes – Legendary cupcakes piled high with buttercream that rivals the snowdrifts on Michigan Avenue in February.
- La Patrona Food Bus – Need a little savory American comfort food before the sugar rush? La Patrona has you covered.
- La Cocinita Chicago – Bring some Venezuelan-inspired Latin flair to the party, then follow it up with churros or tres leches for dessert.
- Sausage Fest – Grilled chicken sausages (plus veggie options) pair perfectly with a side of cookies or donuts.

Excellent tacos, rice and beans, and street corn! My guests raved about the food! I would have La Patrona back in a heartbeat! Watch out for the salsa - they are both spicy!

The staff running the truck was amazing.. We had a lot of people bombard the truck after my mother’s services and they got people food quickly. They had their serving down. We would definitely hire them again.

Don't run out of German potato salad so early in the evening. We placed our order before 5:00 for a 5:20 pick up and they were already out of it.

- How does food truck catering work with Best Food Trucks?
- With Best Food Trucks, you choose the budget for your event and provide details like, time, date, how many diners and what type of party you're throwing. Best Food Trucks will send out your request to regional food trucks who will submit a proposal based on your budget.
- How do we choose the budget for our food truck event?
- You choose the budget (within our parameters) and we'll find proposals that match that budget. Every proposal we send you will be for your submitted budget.
