Cool Down Your Next Event With Our Gelato, Affogato & Ice Cream Cart

We offer mobile cart catering throughout Los Angeles, Orange County, Ventura County, and Santa Barbara. Our team regularly works with agencies and brands across Southern California, and we’re happy to travel for larger brand activations, corporate events, and multi-day experiences. If you’re outside these areas, reach out, we can usually make it work.

Serving capacity depends on the treat you choose. For quick-service options like paletas, pastries, prepackaged drinks (lemonade, agua fresca, matcha, coffee), and popcorn, we’ve served 1,000+ guests at large brand activations and high-volume events. For treats that require more preparation, such as coffee, gelato, or churros, the cart typically serves about 50 guests per hour. If you’re not sure what’s best for your event flow, just reach out. We’ll walk you through the options and help you pick the perfect setup for your timeline and guest count.

We offer a wide range of customization options so your activation feels fully branded from the cart to the treats. Cart customization: You can choose a full wrap, partial wrap, or logo placement to match your campaign or event aesthetic. Treat customization: We can tailor flavors, colors, and ingredients to fit your theme. For example, we’ve created branded coconut popsicles using Malk’s own coconut milk product and color-matched treats for product launches. Packaging customization: Your logo or design can be added to popsicle sticks, paleta wrappers, pastry packaging, gelato cups, coffee cups, or even gelato wafers. If you have a creative idea, we’re always open to new challenges. Our goal is to make your activation feel fully custom and completely on-brand.

Yes, all of our brand activations and full-service catering include our trained staff. Our team is held to a high standard because they’re an extension of your brand and ours. They’re trained to be professional, friendly, and efficient, and to work smoothly with your team, your vendors, and your guests. We cover everything from setup to breakdown so you don’t have to manage any of the details. Our goal is to make your activation feel seamless and polished from start to finish.

Yes, our carts are designed to be placed almost anywhere. They’re small, compact, and easy to maneuver, which means they can go indoors, fit through a standard doorway, and roll into most venues or offices. They can also be taken up elevators and set up in tighter spaces without disrupting your layout. If you have a specific floor plan or space in mind, we can help confirm the best placement.

Some of our treats do require power, specifically coffee, churros, popcorn, and pretzels. Our ice cream and popsicle carts run on dry ice, so they don’t need any power at all. You can place those carts anywhere, which makes setup flexible and one less thing for you to worry about.

A 10x10 space is ideal for larger events, but we can easily work within a much smaller footprint. We’ve served on sidewalks, office hallways, tight retail spaces, you name it and we’re great at adapting to whatever layout you have. Just let us know the space you’re working with, and we’ll come up with a setup plan that fits perfectly.

Yes! We offer vegan pastries, vegan gelato, and vegan popsicles. If your event has specific dietary needs, just let us know, we’re happy to work with our chefs to create a treat that fits your guests and your vision.

We accept credit cards, Zelle, and ACH payments for all catering and brand activation bookings. If you need a different payment method or have questions about invoicing, just let us know, we try to keep the process as simple and convenient as possible.

Yes, we offer both full-service catering and cart rentals. If you need a complete experience, our full-service catering includes trained staff, treats, and branding or customization options. If you’re looking for something simpler, we also offer cart-only rentals, with or without custom branding. Just let us know what you need and we’ll help you choose the best fit for your event.
