About Friendly Fruits
Lines form for the smoothies. I serve made-to-order smoothies and a short menu of sandwiches. We set up on-site for events and work with whoever hired us to keep the line moving. Our truck is minority-owned and we bring a small crew to handle drinks and sandwiches at company lunches, neighborhood block parties, or catered meetups. I keep the menu simple so service stays quick. You can expect smoothies, iced coffee drinks, and a handful of sandwich choices, all prepared in the truck during the event. We run full on-site service, from setup to clean up, and have experience working with event coordinators. We try to be straightforward about portions and timings, and we price to match the event size. If you need a beverage station and sandwiches for an event, we can provide on-site service and staffing.

Owner, Friendly Fruits
I started working long hours because I liked being around people who needed coffee or a quick bite, and one slow Monday I realized I was the one making the coffee and sandwiches more than anyone else. That pushed me to buy a used truck and learn the rest on the fly. I handle everything that moves on this truck, the good and the tedious, which means I know how to coax a stubborn blender into cooperation and how to keep supply runs from turning into full grocery trips. I live in Van Nuys and most mornings you will find me checking inventory, tuning the equipment, and plotting where to park so regulars can find me. What keeps me going is straightforward, food-adjacent work that actually connects me to my neighborhood. I do a few charity pop-ups when I can, and I try to hire locally because people here deserve steady hours. One small pleasure is that customers laugh when I call a sandwich a meal that behaves responsibly.
