Craving Something Sweet, San Diego? Our Dessert Food Truck Catering Has You Covered!
From sunset strolls along Pacific Beach to lively nights in the Gaslamp Quarter, San Diegans know how to celebrate—especially when dessert is involved. Best Food Trucks brings the city’s most mouth-watering dessert food truck catering straight to your party, wedding, or corporate event. Whether you’re hosting a tech meet-up in Sorrento Valley or a backyard birthday in La Mesa, we roll in with ovens blazing and toppings ready, serving treats so fresh they’d melt faster than a July afternoon at Mission Bay.
Forget those pre-packaged sweets hiding under metal lids. Our dessert partners bake, fry, or freeze everything on-site, guaranteeing that first-bite “wow” factor. From hand-pressed waffle cones overflowing with small-batch ice cream to churro-dusted waffle sticks, each truck in our San Diego fleet is committed to using local produce, real cream, and zero shortcuts. The result? A sugar rush worthy of Petco Park’s seventh-inning stretch.
Need inspiration? Check out a few local favorites ready to sweeten your celebration:
- WTF WAFFLES & SNOW CONES – Famous for over-the-top creations like Churro Caramel and Bananas Foster waffles, plus refreshing shaved-ice snow cones that keep guests cool when the Santa Ana winds kick up.
- Señor Wooffle – Serving farm-fresh, organic ingredients folded into pillowy waffle sandwiches and decadent sundaes. Think strawberry-basil compote piled high with house-made whipped cream.
- Aunty Lynne – This Asian-Fusion favorite sneaks sweet treats onto the menu with mochi donuts and honey-butter taiyaki, the perfect finish after bulgogi sliders.
- Simply Fresh – Known for California-inspired deli fare, they also whip up seasonal fruit parfaits and gluten-free chocolate brownies that taste as good as they look on Instagram.
- “O” Food Truck – Their farm-to-table ethos extends to dessert with organic berry shortcakes and surf-and-turf-inspired caramel flan (yes, really!).

Luis of Senor Wooffle was terrific to work with. He was able to make some menu modifications that we needed. This is the first time we have used a Food Truck and were so pleased. BTW - his root beer floats were fabulous!

Epic Eatz came prepared to serve up delicious food for all our guests. Their service was outstanding and everyone loved the food. It would be hard not to find something appetizing on their menu with so many iconic Mexicali options.

Overall, we had a good experience! The owner was very kind and communicative. However, there was an issue which caused the waffles to run out halfway through the event, which seemed a bit disappointing to some employees.

Make pictures more appealing- that was a large problem last night. You need a photographer or something to make those pictures were artistic . The pictures of the Philly cheesesteak do not look good and the burgers all look wilted. The taste of the food is not translating in the pictures. Your onion rings are delicious. Chicken fingers are average. You need a honey mustard dipping sauce. Cheeseburger was very good - add a pickle spear on the side. Fries were average Also add more choices than just Coke - and maybe you have them, but it doesn't show up on line.
