Summer Snack Trucks for Corporate Events

Nothing boosts morale faster than an unexpected treat on a sunny afternoon, especially when it rolls up in a food truck. This summer, companies are ditching stale cookies and tepid coffee for something way more exciting: snack-sized joy on wheels.

Whether you're planning a team-building picnic, a client appreciation day, or a casual office hang, food trucks and carts specializing in treats, not full meals, are stealing the show. Think mini donuts, gourmet popsicles, flavored popcorn, and fizzy mocktails served out of vintage campers.

Here’s a roundup of the most crowd-pleasing, photo-worthy snack trucks making the rounds this summer, and why your next corporate event needs one (or three).

Mini But Mighty: Donuts, Churros & Other Handheld Delights

Bite-sized donuts are the perfect summer snack. They’re light, customizable, and easy to eat while mingling. Simply Done Donuts (Atlanta) specializes in mini donuts made fresh to order, with creative toppings like strawberry shortcake crumble, S'mores drizzle, or classic cinnamon sugar.

Churro lovers can rejoice too: Churro Co. in Austin serves up thick, golden churros stuffed with dulce de leche or rolled in crushed cookies. They even offer churro sundaes for those who want a little frozen flair.

Don’t underestimate the power of nostalgia. Treats like fried pies, deep fried Oreos, and funnel cake bites evoke memories and drive foot traffic. Trucks like Fair on Wheels (Atlanta) and Funnel Vision (St. Petersburg) double as time machines on wheels, transporting guests back to carefree carnival days with every bite.

Cool Down: Frozen Treats with a Twist

Ice cream trucks have come a long way since childhood summers, and today’s vendors are redefining the frozen treat experience with high-quality ingredients and creative flair.

In Atlanta, YOM offers custard-based ice cream push pops made from scratch using simple recipes and real ingredients. Flavors like Mango, Orange Cream, Mint Chip, and Green Tea are refreshing, portable, and perfect for hot afternoons without the melting mess.

On the West Coast, Recess (Los Angeles) takes a small-batch approach, using high butterfat and low air overrun for a richer texture. Their offerings go beyond the scoop with treats like ice cream sandwiches, frozen hot chocolate, and French toast sliders, all made with in-house ingredients for a playful spin on dessert.

Meanwhile, Smooth N Groove (Atlanta) serves up healthy drinks with high energy and personality. Smoothies named after dance moves like the “Running Man” and the “Nae-Nae” blend nutritious ingredients with originality and fun, much like the vibe of its founder, Keon Davis.

"We try to specialize in not only good food, but healthy food, too, so you’re not sleepy when you’re done eating." – Keon Davis, Smooth N Groove

Say Bonjour to the WEiffel Tower

No summer snack list is complete without waffles, especially when they’re shaped like the Eiffel Tower. Holy Crepe is making waves with their WEiffel Tower, a showstopping waffle-on-a-stick that's both delicious and wildly photogenic.

Perfect for corporate events, this whimsical twist on a classic French treat has become a fast favorite.

Trust us: it’s more than a snack; it’s a conversation piece.

"The WEiffel Tower is an instant hit. It’s fun, quick, delicious, and completely different from everything out there." - Saphir Grici, Holy Crepe

Sweet and Salty is a Winning Combination

Savory snacks shine in summer too—especially when they’re crunchy, customizable, and easy to grab between meetings. Gourmet popcorn carts turn a movie-night staple into an event favorite, with bold flavors like chili-lime, parmesan truffle, or spicy cheddar served in custom-branded bags guests can take home.

Pretzels are also having their moment:  Ben's Soft Pretzels (multiple cities) serves them warm and twisted with dips like vanilla icing or sriracha cheese. 

In Atlanta, Chay J’s New Orleans Candies brings a soulful spin to the trend with Sugar Mama, their vibrant dessert truck. Known for its award-winning Creole pretzels and popcorn made from cherished family recipes, Chay J’s delivers a flavorful blend of sweet, savory, and Southern nostalgia.

"Guests light up at the sight of Sugar Mama’s vibrant teal, purple, and gold exterior, a rolling celebration of New Orleans spirit. But it’s our award-winning Creole pretzels and popcorn that truly steal the show with every bite."– ‘Chay’ Powell, Chay J’s

Sips With Personality

Don’t forget beverages! A refreshing drink elevates any snack experience. Non-alcoholic spritz carts and mocktail stations, like those from Sip Social Co. (various cities), offer fizzy, fruit-forward drinks and a completely brandable experience, while Maggie’s Fresh Squeezed Lemonade (South Florida) serves up made-to-order lemonades, limeades, and Arnold Palmers from a vintage trailer.
