Dessert Truck Makes Its Midtown Debut Today!

The Dessert Truck is beginning its daytime operations today, and will attempt to find a spot on Park Ave. between 51+53rd streets from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.  Treats Truck is awesome, and Wafels & Dinges are nice, but the Dessert Truck is some serious shit.  We’re talking chocolate bread pudding, molten chocolate cake, vanilla creme brulee, goat cheese cheesecake and more.  Restaurant quality desserts, out of truck, and everything is $5. 

As you know, finding a permanent spot is difficult, so I’ll keep you up to date on their progress. Welcome  to the neighborhood boys! To read more about the Dessert Truck, check out this post on Serious Eats: New York.

UPDATE: As of 11:07 a.m. the truck has found a space on Park between 51+52nd.

  • OOoooooo!!! I hope they stay in that locale, all of the Treats Truck locations are too far for me. Prepare for growing fat gut.
    Thank you Dessert Truck.

  • are those…….are they…..those things on *TWITCH* that dessert……might they be……..nuts? If so, I will be happy to bite your nuts off

  • Do I have to wait until 11:30!

  • Here you go, the three-course midtown lunch: the (relatively) light and lucious creme brulee for starters, followed by the stick-to-your-ribs chocolate bread pudding, and a finale of milk chocolate (with creamy peanut butter) mousse. Lovely!

  • oh man, i’m so happy i work on the east side!!

    BARF! Not to mention severe sugar tremors, and more overweight women on the streets of NYC….

  • stevenp, “more overweight women on the streets of NYC”? I actually think of the streets of NYC as filled with the opposite. I think quite a few of the lunchers in this area (particularly female) could use the 3-course lunch suggested.

  • i had the molten chocolate cake today, it sucked, everything else probably does too.

  • The chocolate bread pudding was absolutely amazing today. ‘Nough Said.

  • stop hating, my molten lava cake was delicious

  • Are they going to back at all this week ?
    This is my last week working in midtown (changing offices to UES).

    On that note, any suggestions for lunching near 87th and 3rd ?

  • They told me they would be there all week. Chocolate bread pudding was remarkable. Goat cheese cheesecake was mediocre.

  • Oh, yes, let’s focus on the midtown women, because there’s a shortage of fat businessmen walking around there…

  • Just had the creme brulee…nicely burned and not disgusting by any means, but not very tasty. Nothing about it coerced me to take a second bite.

  • Am I the only one who believes this truck blows?

  • I don’t like to delete comments, and everybody should have their say- but readers should know that the two negative comments just above this comment (from Colin K & Sarah H), both come from the same IP address. Make of that what you will…

  • Oh, I see, not more than one person in an office can believe that the dessert truck blows. I understand.

    “Make of that what you will…”

  • @ Sarah H – So, just so I get your story straight. You and your co-worker Colin K. decided to log on to Midtown Lunch, from the same IP address (or “office” if you will), at 10:30 at night, and bash the Dessert Truck- independently of each other- 3 minutes apart.

    Feel free to shill or flame at your own risk. I won’t delete your comments, but it won’t go unnoticed. People can decide to believe whatever they want… I just want them to have all the information.

  • Would be a wounderful world had we all 9-5 occupations…true. In a 24 hr. city such as ours, some, work off-hours. We even sometimes, share similar discusssions (art, leisure, food entertainment etc…) as 9-5ers.
    Zach, it is understood that you are heavily invested in your recommendations, but conspiracy theories aside, the truck is not one of your best recommendations.

    “People can decide to believe whatever they want… I just want them to have all the information.”

    Admirable Zach.

  • @ Sarah – I never carry on conversations like this in the comments, but I’ll make this exception, and indulge you- because nothing bothers me more than dishonest commenters. So while I’d love to let this die, I wouldn’t want readers to think that my not responding gave your comments any validity.

    I don’t doubt that you hate the Dessert Truck, but you are not Sarah Hellerman, and you don’t work at 10:30 at night in a cube next to Colin Keeter. Those two comments were 3 mins apart, both had fake email addresses and came from the same IP. One of the email addresses pointed to a Baptist Church in Washington. (Nice touch. Did you even look at what nsb.org was before you made it your email provider?)

    I don’t moderate or delete comments, and have no problem with people who disagree with my opinion. This site is a community, and my opinion is no more or less important than any commenter who takes the time to post. Regular commenters know this, and will back me up.

    What I do have a problem with is liars. And you are a liar. You weren’t at work last night, having a discussion with a co-worker about “art, leisure, food” and the Dessert Truck- followed by taking turns posting your individual thoughts on Midtown Lunch.

    I commend your effort. You’ve never commented before, you made up two names and corresponding email addresses. Posted two negative comments, for whatever reason. You’ve been outed, please stop digging. Comment honestly in the future (or do a better job of hiding your deception), and you’ll never get called out again.
