Before gourmet food trucks became a thing, there was one man who diligently served home cooked meals throughout Los Angeles out of his truck and through the goodness of his heart. For over 45 years, Uncle Lau has served savory meals to hungry customers from Los Angeles all the way down to the OC claiming some of the the most popular streets as food truck destinations. His love to serving people never ceased when retirement was near. Uncle Lau decided to change gears and serve creamy cheer. With his talented daughter Connie providing the branding and graphics, Recess ice cream truck was born in 2013 and blissfully good ice cream is served direct to Angelenos.

Connie continued to operate the truck up until Connie’s too-early passing in 2018 due to cancer. In 2019, her trust approached family friend Jessica Lo Ibarra who bought the Recess Truck business and make sure that Connie’s legacy was honored and that we could continue her dreams of making Recess a household name.

We continue to scooping every day to keep Connie’s legacy alive. We talk to her all the time. It was Connie’s dream to make people feel like a kid again and that is what we do!

We proudly feature small batch ice cream with 14% butter fat and low air overrun which results in a thicker, smoother, richer and creamier texture. Using only the freshest and purest ingredients, our small batch ice creams are made with local cream and ingredients of the highest quality. All our sweet treats including marshmallows, churros and chocolate syrup are handmade by us so we know exactly what goes into every bite. What it all comes down to is trustworthy and GREAT TASTE!
