Ernestine Ulmer once said, “Life is uncertain. Eat dessert first.” These are words to live by when you try Treatbot the Karaoke Ice Cream Truck<\/a>. There is a reason this sweet spot is one of the South Bay’s most popular ice cream trucks\u2014and it’s not just the awesome name. The long queues are thanks to\u00a0Treatbot’s unique flavors, rich consistency, and the karaoke. Yes, you read that right. There is a karaoke system by the service window where you can belt out \u201cBohemian Rhapsody\u201d while enjoying your scoop of Pumpkin or Bollywood Pistachio.<\/p>\n

On a busy Saturday at the Annual San Jose Taco Festival of Innovation, Treatbot’s Victoria Dzuong took time out from serving brul\u00e9ed crepe horchata ice cream tacos (it wasn\u2019t named the \u201cFestival of Innovation\u201d for nothing!) to tell us about her favorite ice cream joints in the Bay Area\u2014after Treatbot, of course!<\/p>\n
