Craving Something Sweet in New York? Our Dessert Food Truck Catering Rolls Right Up!
When the city that never sleeps wants a sugar fix, Best Food Trucks delivers—literally. We specialize in dessert food truck catering in New York, rolling into events from Brooklyn rooftops to Bryant Park picnics with oven-warm cookies, artisan cupcakes, and hand-spun milkshakes. Forget day-old pastries; every bite is baked, fried, or churned the same day, because New Yorkers can taste the difference.
No Big Apple dessert lineup is complete without the iconic Carvel Ice Cream Truck. Since Tom Carvel’s truck broke down on a Westchester highway back in 1929, his legendary vanilla-chocolate twist has been a summer soundtrack from Coney Island to Columbus Circle. Add blackout-cake sundaes, flying-saucer ice-cream sandwiches, or custom sprinkle bars, and watch your guests queue up faster than a rush-hour cab line on Fifth Avenue.
Booking your dessert truck rental in New York is as easy as ordering a slice at midnight: pick your date, guest count, and borough, and our catering team handles the rest—permits, parking, and cleanup included. Whether you’re throwing a Sweet 16 in Queens, a corporate happy hour in Hudson Yards, or a wedding reception overlooking the Hudson, we’ll park, serve, and vanish, leaving nothing but smiles and sugar highs.

Food and service was excellent. Arrival of food truck was late. Driver wanted to come half hour earlier (11:30a) to event to prep but ended up showing an hour later (12:30p). Wasn’t able to feed some of my important guests. They missed out on some good food to catch a flight. For the amount of $$ paid, was hoping have event catered on time.

We were very happy with the Smash Burger truck. They showed up on time, were very professional, and the food was delicious. I would hire them again. Thank you!

The only thing we would not order again is the Barbacoa tacos. Expected them to be more finely shredded. The meat was a little tough. Everything else was great!

More accurate timeline to have the food ready. My grandkids waited 45 mins after being told it would be 10 minutes

The burger was well cooked, and the fries were actually my favorite kind of crispy with a nice seasoning

Suggest slightly less fries. I did like how they were cooked. Slightly more sauce in the sandwich; not much though. I'd definitely order again in the future.

- 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.
