Owner, Mary Had a Little Party

What began as a paper goods company in 2008 has grown to be an umbrella to many facets of a great event business. The renovation of our first vintage ice cream trailer, “The Soda Shoppe”, was complete in late 2014 and is now on the road every month in the greater Houston area for both public and private events. Our vintage catering bar “Hoopla” debuted in 2016 and in May of 2018, we renovated yet another vintage trailer. We completed our newest trailer, “Clementine Coffee & Cream” in the fall of 2021 and it is out on the road serving espresso drinks, hot or iced, and all the shakes, malts and ice cream cups and cones you have come to know us for. We’ve got another surprise in the works this summer and I guess it means we are addicted to building food trucks – we love serving and are having the time of our lives!

When to Book

Recommended lead time
15–30 days before your event

The further ahead you book, the more trucks you'll have to choose from. Planning ahead is the best way to secure your top pick.

That said, shorter timelines work too—we book events just days out all the time. You'll just have fewer options to choose from.

Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in Houston, so booking early gives you the best selection.
