Coolhaus

What started as a single food truck hunting for parking spots across Los Angeles in 2009 has blossomed into an ice cream empire that now stretches from the beaches of Santa Monica all the way to Dubai. Coolhaus has become synonymous with inventive ice cream sandwiches that push the boundaries of what frozen desserts can be.

The menu reads like a greatest hits of clever flavor combinations. Their signature cookie-and-ice-cream sandwiches come in tempting varieties like horchata paired with snickerdoodle cookies, the intriguingly named dirty mint chip, and a festive birthday cake option that tastes like a party in your mouth. The beauty of Coolhaus is that every combination seems to work—there’s hardly a miss in the bunch.

Despite their grocery store expansion and international reach, Coolhaus hasn’t forgotten its roots. Their original truck still roams the streets of LA, popping up at different locations throughout the city. If you want to track down that nostalgic food truck experience, their Instagram feed will point you in the right direction.

Whether you catch them at their brick-and-mortar location on Lincoln Boulevard or chase down the truck for a spontaneous treat, Coolhaus delivers exactly what you want from an ice cream sandwich: fun, creativity, and flavors that live up to their whimsical names.
