Our story

You scream, we all scream

The truck, the window, the queue that forms out of nowhere — here is what we do and how it works.

Who we are

A truck, a freezer, and a very good afternoon

Ice Cream Truck is a mobile ice cream service based in the Chicago area and working all around Illinois. Our van is painted with the line everybody already knows — You Scream, Ice Cream, We All Scream! — and it does exactly what the paint promises.

We are not an ice cream shop that happens to own a vehicle. The truck is the business. It is stocked, cold and ready, and it drives to wherever your people already are: a driveway, a school car park, a village green, an office lot.

What comes out of the window is not a novelty nobody recognises. It is Blue Bunny, Good Humor, Rich's, Popsicle, Magnum, Bomb Pop and Rosati Italian ice — 73treats in total, so the fussy five-year-old, the sour-candy daredevil and the parent who quietly wants a Magnum all leave happy.

How it works

Three steps, that's it

  1. Tell us the date

    Send the date, the place and roughly how many people. Use the booking form or just call (708) 308-5282.

  2. We quote it

    You choose whether you cover everyone up front so treats are free at the window, or guests buy their own. We come back with a figure.

  3. The music arrives

    The truck parks up, the window opens, and the queue forms on its own. You do nothing except enjoy it.

Where we turn up

Perfect for any occasion

Six of the bookings we take most often — but if your event is not on this list, ask anyway.

  • Birthday Parties

    The moment the music starts

  • Schools & Daycares

    Field days and last-day treats

  • Block Parties & HOAs

    The whole street, one stop

  • Corporate & Staff Days

    Employee appreciation, sorted

  • Graduations & Proms

    A sweet send-off

  • Fundraisers & Church

    Community events of any size

Out on the road

Every photo here is from an actual booking — school field days, block parties and evening events across Illinois.

Inside the freezer

73 lines, all sealed and individually wrapped, with ingredients printed on every packet so guests with allergies can check for themselves.

The whole range is printed down the side of the truck, so nobody has to decide before they get there.

This is the whole job, really. Everything else is logistics.
