Organic Ice Cream with Vintage Style

By Chrissy Gray, Creative Director

I wouldn’t call myself a sweets kind of girl. Given the choice between a salty snack or a sweet treat, you can pretty guarantee I’ll choose the savory option. However, a girl can make exceptions from time to time, especially when you’re talking about organic ice cream served from a super rad vintage truck! And yes, such a thing actually exists.

Sweet Lucie’s is a SoCal based operation that provides an array of delicious ice cream and toppings from a 1950′s classic truck and vintage cart to special events and private parties. They use all organic and natural ingredients and select fair trade chocolates, teas, and coffees as well. The ice cream and sauces are handmade specifically for your special event which means if you have a unique flavor in mind, Sweet Lucie’s can more than likely create it!

From classics like vanilla bean, chocolate, and coffee, to fan favorites such as Snickerdoodle, Frozen Hot Chocolate, and Mint Lemonade Sorbet, Sweet Lucie’s is the ice cream lovers dream. Plus all of their serving cups and spoons are not only recyclable but compostable as well. Gotta love that!
