Sweet Wheels

Good ice cream, bad cookies. Fast cause there is no line but there is a reason why there is no line. Maybe they will be more popular in the summer. Takes credit cards at no extra charge

Sweet Wheels catered my wedding last weekend, during a rain and wind storm where traffic was insane and power lines were down. Not only did they arrive early to avoid any traffic, but they were incredibly friendly, the ice cream was DELICIOUS, and my guests were all very pleased. We got lucky in having clear skies and no wind during dessert, and working with Ron was a dream. Highly recommend!

I love sweet wheels! My favorite is the double chocolate– chocolate cookie with chocolate ice cream. I also really like the salted oatmeal cookie with coconut ice cream. They’re big enough, I usually split one. Tasty treat!

I journeyed over to check them out in their space in Wallingford today and there was a closed sign even though the hours indicate they should’ve been open.

The coconut ice cream with salted oatmeal cookies is out of this world. I’m actually proud of myself for not having a second one. I had had a big dinner but still had to use all my will power to not go back for seconds. Amazing!

Sweet Wheels, the sweetest truck in Seattle. Who doesn’t love ice cream coming to you in the form of ice cream sandwiches? The answer should be no one, and if someone doesn’t well than they are not to be trust in any capacity in matters regarding food. I had the pleasure of getting one of their tasty treats for a wedding that was catered with ice cream in lieu of a big cake the idea and the ice cream were both a great idea and were a huge hit with everyone from the little kids to all the grandparents at the wedding.
The sandwiches were fantastic with big cookies and lots of cold ice cream that couldn’t have been better on a warm summer evening, service was super friendly and I’d highly recommend you stop in for a bite to eat if you see the pink truck rolling by.

I tried two of their sandwiches when they rolled by my place of work:
— Double chocolate cookies w/​coconut ice cream
— Salted oatmeal cookies w/​vanilla
I would have really loved these (5 stars) if they paid more attention to ensuring their cookies were soft because the flavors were spot on. Instead, I often had to chomp/​break through the hard cookie to get ice cream. The ice cream was just the right temperature/​texture, but the cookies weren’t.
While the service was fast and friendly, the sandwiches didn’t do much for me and I would have enjoyed it just as much if they just gave me scoops of ice cream since the cookies didn’t add to the experience.

You can customize your favorite ice cream and any of their yummy cookies. Trust me, try the coconut ice cream and salted oatmeal cookies. The combo is addictive!
Be warned these chilly sandwiches are enough to share… But so good you won’t bother. Let them get their own.

Was eager to get some ice cream action when I heard they were going to be at the Mobile Food Truck Rodeo in September. This time I decided to get my favorite (the salted oatmeal cookie, which should be called salted oh my gosh cookie) with their coconut ice cream as a «drop top». A drop top doesn’t have the top cookie to make the sandwich. So you have one cookie with their monster scoop of ice cream. This was much more manageable to eat by myself (with the exclusion of a few bites bites from my friends). If you’re not sharing with someone, this is definitely the way to do it.

My typical rule for food trucks is that I always try them twice. I know running a food truck is hard and sometimes it takes a bit to work the kinks out.
My first experience with Sweet Wheels was at the Mobile Food Rodeo in Fremont. The line was absolutely ridiculous. Now, the concept is that there are two cookies, with ice cream in the middle. Those seemed to be coming out okay. What was really holding up the line is the gentleman working the iPad. He seemed to be having difficulty and at one point, left the truck. The product was decent but I thought, nothing to write home about it. My son loved it but he loves all cookies and ice cream and he’s a child. I know the Rodeo is a hard event, particularly for a new truck so of course, they get another try.
The next time I tried Sweet Wheels, I would say the quality of their product was the same. Good, but no «wow» factor for me.

Ron and company came to our party last night to serve for 75 people. They were on time, professional and made everyone’s night with their decadent desserts. I would highly recommend them for a fun alternative to dessert at a party. Great prices and quality ingredients. My fave — XKE — sea salt oatmeal cookie with coconut ice cream. Definitely give them a try!

No dairy free options… why!!! Issue #1.
They had THE longest line at this weekend’s mobile food truck rodeo in Seattle. Sometimes this is a great sign (people being willing to wait over an hour for ice cream means it must be GOOD). Unfortunately, it means they are just slow, slow, slow (issue #2)! Everyone was extremely nice and home made ice cream sandwiches were OKAY. I had the XKE — it was salted oatmeal and coconut ice cream (salty and sweet). It was good but not amazing or what I expected after waiting in line so long.
I KIND OF appreciate them not pre-​making the ice cream sandwiches but it is a bit impractical for something as large as food truck rodeo.
For now, two stars… maybe I’ll try them outside of major food event and see if I can add a star.

This place needs more exposure, and I hope it gets that at the food truck rodeo.
The owners are just super friendly. I always find myself having a five minute convo with Ron about nothing.
The sandwiches are not pre packed, so the cookies are still nice and chewy. I have to admit I haven’t got past eating the XKE. I’ve learned within the last year or so that sometimes I like salt on my sweets. The XKE is a salted oatmeal cookie, with coconut ice cream. Those combinations are just X-​E-​llent!
I’m always sad when I’m done. I look in my white paper, hoping maybe a little morsel fell that I can nibble on.
Alas, until next time sweetie. Next time.

Awesome, awesome ice cream sandwich! You have not had a good ice cream sandwich until you have had one from Sweet Wheels’! (Ok, so I only speak for myself). The way that the hard cookie tangoed with the soft homemade ice cream made experience a sweet dance.
I came across this truck, parked on the corner of Broadway and Pike (500 Broadway, Seattle, according to their website) by the Shell gas station, on a rainy Friday afternoon. I was instantly excited because ever since my two favorite food trucks turned into brick and mortar stores (and have since then became culinary disappointments), I have been looking for new food trucks that served quality items on the run. What’s better than a homemade ice cream sandwich truck to fill the void?
The truck was run by two «distinguished gentlemen» (as my friend described them. Ron ran the cashier using his iPad (makes sense since he’s the software developer) and Jim was the chef behind the delicious ice cream wheels.
I got the T-​bird (Espresso/​Chocolate Shortbread with White Coffee Ice Cream). Jim was very kind to answer my friend’s question regarding what is white coffee ice cream (which is light coffee ice cream).Since it was rainy and cold, my friend I decided to split the T-​bird and Jim was nice enough to cut the sandwich in half for us. He was able to cut the shortbread was evenly (if I were to do the cutting, I am sure it would have turned into crumbs).
The shortbread had chocolate drizzles on them and I loved the texture of it. The white coffee ice cream worked great with the shortbread. Both the cookie and the ice cream were refined and sophisticated on their own but together, they were magical. I felt uplifted after eating the ice cream sandwich and I don’t usually even like ice cream sandwiches! I can see this truck becoming a hit once the summer rolls around. So look on Sweet Wheels’ website for their location and have a taste of a truly great ice cream sandwich that will dance on your palate.

I meant to write this review week or two ago, but just found the card. I live in Los Angeles where food trucks are king so I was delighted to come to Seattle for the first time and come across this WONDERFUL little dessert truck!
My friend the lava cake that I tried and it just oozed with chocolatey goodness all heated up. I actually wish it was a little bigger because it was gone to soon! I had the carrot cake version of their «lava cake» with a creamcheese frosting gooey center and I just wanted it to lst longer then it did.
I strongly reccomend this place. I know I will look for it when I go back to Seattle.

Salted Oatmeal Cookie w/​Coconut Ice Cream = awesome. Thing was huge, too! (That’s what she said.)
I’m really glad that they have just literally been a week into their business and I was able to serendipitously come across it, otherwise I would have missed out on an awesome opportunity for yumminess. If you’re walking by, don’t miss your opportunity! You can’t miss the HOT PINK truck… it definitely diverted my attention away from Occupy Seattle across the street…
The guys running the truck are super friendly, too! Good luck to them on this venture, although the product pretty much speaks for itself.

This hot pink baby food truck is just 10 days old. Can’t you see it’s cuteness from it’s headlights to it’s shape, goochigoochigoo. It was very windy and raining, but no rain can separate me from sweets, I’m a sweet tooth fanatic. The owners were two adorable old guys, they served with care and smiles. This is why I love old people, they’re just so chill with everything. Not too mention, they got the idea to open a HOT PINK food truck dedicated to sweets? More awesome!
I got the XKE (salted oatmeal cookie with coconut ice cream sandwich.) What’s cool is that he names his ice cream sandwiches after cars, manly instincts. He said that was one of the favorites so I just went with it. It costs around $ 4, don’t know if that’s worth it, but hey, worth the shot. They have a blackboard sporting their specials for the day, their sign is barely readable but still, you can’t miss the color of this van. Did I mention, it’s freaking stark pink?
The cookies were flavored with sea salt and there was oatmeal here and there. Their vanilla ice cream is homemade, it’s a good hard smooth consistency and you can taste vanilla, it’s not too creamy– but no ice crystals of course. Decent ice cream.
The cookies itself was very salty, so don’t eat it by it’s own. It was meant to be eaten with the icecream because the ice cream was a total contrast– a sweet flavor. I don’t think the sweet and savory matched each other quite well, it wasn’t so balanced, I don’t taste the sweet and salty together. If you get what I mean, it’s like first, you taste the salty, then sweet, then salty, then sweet. There’s no harmony. I think the salt in the cookies should be reduced a bit, I get that you’re trying to balance it with the sweet ice cream but this is just too much sea salt included in the cookie.
That’s just what I feel though. I’m loving the concept and the distance it is from my house! Seattle needs another sweet truck! (Street Treats don’t frequent downtown anymore.) I can’t wait to try their other flavors!!!

I was walking around downtown this afternoon, and stumbled upon Sweet Wheels. It’s a hot pink van with an ordering window on the side. Their business idea is one of the best yet… HOMEMADE ICE CREAM SANDWICHES!!!
I mean how can you pass that up? They have 4 different types of cookies, and 4 different ice creams. I got the salted oatmeal with vanilla ice cream for only $ 4! This ice cream sandwich is probably the best dessert I have eaten in a long long time. It had all the necessary ingredients to make my mouth happy, plus it didn’t ooze everywhere (mainly bc I ate it so quickly).
Apparently they also have daily brownie specials too. Today’s special was butterscotch brownies which looked so yummy.
If you see this pink truck parked somewhere downtown go check it out!
*We found this place parked on Pike and 3^rd (I believe)
