Assistant Organizer, Robert, has heard about a new food truck hitting the LA food scene: Coolhaus.


Here's what Robert has to say: "In July, LA can be a very warm place, so we start craving cool things like ice cream. Oh who am I kidding? Ice cream is great to eat year round. I read a short blurb in LA Times about Cool Haus, which made its debut at the Coachella Music Festival in April. Coolhaus is a mobile truck that specializes in architecture themed ice cream sandwiches. Within the past year, Pleasure Palate has taken you to taco trucks, the Kogi truck, the churro truck and now its time for an ice cream sandwich truck. What better way to enjoy July with the latest entry into LA's growing mobile street food scene?"

For $11/$12, the descriptions below are a sampling of what we'll be tasting at the event:

Ice Cream Sandwich Samples

Frank Behry - a sugarcookie with strawberry ice cream
Mintimalism - chocolate cooke with mint chip ice cream
Mies Vanilla Rohe - chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream
Richard Meyer Lemon Ginger - ginger cookie with lemon ice cream
Oatmeal Cinnamoneo - oatmeal cookie with cinnamon ice cream

Beverages not included. I would recommend that you bring a bottle of water to cleanse your palate between sandwiches. I also recommend that you eat a light lunch before the actual event itself.

    Yes, I am aware that you can follow Coolhaus via Twitter. But the whole point of this arranged event is that Coolhaus will come to us at a designated location. It's a private event just for us only.

       Robert, thanks for setting up this ice cream tasting. My fav of all 6 was the ginger cookie and the lemon ice cream. Tart and refreshing. Yum! :) 
    •  Tasting gourmet ice cream sandwiches on a hot summer day in L.A.? It doesn't get much better than this. These sandwiches were a decadent treat. Delicious. Impossible for me to pick a favorite. Loved the concept and the energy and passion coming from the Coolhaus gals. I see big things in their future. Thanks Robert, awesome meetup! 
    •  Loved the concept, cute idea, well executed. Innovative, including their edible, printed wrapper. I enjoyed the ice cream but found the cookies to be a bit thick and sweet for my tastes. Guess I'm just more of an ice cream person--but all was good. Very good quality on everything.

       i love the chocolate cookie. it was rich and filling. dont know how i was able to eat all 6 flavors, but i did. still have a sugar rush.:) 
    •  This was an interesting idea. Personally, I liked the ice ceam more than the cookies. 
    •  Really fun idea and friendly group. It's hard to eat that much ice cream and cookie at once though! 
    •  As always, another phenomenal event hosted by Robert and Abby! It was fun trying all the samples, especially during a nice warm sunny day. All of the sandwiches were good, but my faves were the chocolate cookie w/ mint chocolate chip ice cream, sugar cookie w/ berry ice cream, and peanut butter cookie w/ peanut butter ice cream. 
    •  Ice cream sandwiches were excellent! My favorites were the oatmeal rasin with the apple pie icecream, the chocolate cookie (tasted like a brownie) with mint icecream, and the peanut butter cookie with peanut butter icecream.
