Simple, local and perfect, 9/21/2012
Reviewer: James from Santa Barbara, CA
Ice cream as pure and simple as it should be. Innovative and interesting flavors with a focus on local products. The guy makes his own almond milk from locally grown almonds! If you are lucky enough to spot the classic blue truck ..... go have a scoop!


Sundays on El Sueno
Reviewer: bob from Santa Barbara, CA
as far as hours, The Dandy truck is in our neighborhood on El Sueno every Sunday. The 29th, Sunday, it drove by at 3:45. the week berfore, 4:15, before that 4:05, 3:30. Last Summer season [it's seasonal] usually a more consistant 3:15 We live in Noleta. I believe that in the city that although they can have food trucks, they can only set up on private property. It may be illegal to drive around with the musical bells jingling and selling right on the street. PS. The Dandy Truck may only operate on weekends and holidays

good memories
Reviewer: Peter from Santa Barbara, CA
This truck brings back all the good childhood memories for me, I am so glad that now my children will have the same experience. There is something magical about the ice-cream trucks...


We Could Not Believe It!
Reviewer: Michael from Summerland, CA
My father, visiting from the Big Island and I were doing some testing of the plumbing on a house I just bought in Summerland. No sooner had he flushed the commode that I heard an ice cream truck coming up the street- amazing! We could not believe that anyone would drive all the way up the hill (we live on the last street up) and risk transmission and brakes for a sale. The owner must know that there are seven little kids at the end of our block. The offerings were all the standards including a cheerful driver. I hope the truck comes around on another warm day. Later that evening, we wanted ice cream. While we flushed the commode, the truck did not appear again, unfortunately. Maybe next time.


Follow The Music
Reviewer: John Dickson from Santa Barbara, CA
I was working on this guide when I suddenly heard the music of Santa Barbara's famous mobile ice cream parlor, known to kids as simply "The Blue Truck". I grabbed my digital camera, dashed downstairs, ran across my backyard, scaled the back fence, crossed the street and ordered an ice cream cone with peanuts on the top. Before I knew it, 6 kids were pressed up against the rusty rover, going through the menu plastered on the side. Only one of them had any money, so SantaBarbara.com bought a round of desserts for the little ones!
