Really good vegan food! The food truck has open-faced sandwiches (“flats”), ice cream, and kombucha on tap. Sometimes there are other seasonal specials. The flats are really creative, which is a very nice change of pace in a city without a lot of adventurous vegan options. I tried their black oak (apple butter bbq jackfruit) and sumac (roasted squash and whipped sumac “feta”) flats. Both were delicious with interesting flavours. Their vegan ice cream is also pretty good. The vanilla and Mexican chocolate ice creams were pretty smooth but the texture on the apple butter was a little icier compared to most dairy ice cream, but not in an unpleasant way. The apple butter flavour was so good and not too sweet. You can get the ice cream as plain scoops or in a sundae, and the caramel pie crust sundae was heavenly- the cinnamon pie crust pieces were delicious on their own. The people who work the truck are very nice. I so appreciate the commitment to sustainability. They serve their food in paper containers with wood cutlery (that actually works), and if you bring your own cup for kombucha you get $1 off.

I had some returns to make and stopped by Bloomington Food Truck Fridays. We have a few favorites we visit while there, but Hands Down the Stand Out was the Planted food truck! Unique flavors, ingredients, and combinations that I had never experienced. And absolutely Gorgeous! 🤩 I appreciate meat just as much as the next carnivore, but I honestly did Not miss it! Their menu changes to reflect availability of seasonal ingredients, and yesterday I had the opportunity to experience the Sycamore, the 1st day it was on the menu. 💯 MUST TRY! 🤤🥰 The staff IS Super Accommodating and answers ingredient questions with ease to aid in making selections with dietary restrictions. They even wrote the menu item on the boxes at my request (so I knew which one was which 😜). I actually returned two weeks later, and Nicole remembered my name instantly (with a beautiful smile 😊)! Planted is a true gem!

Very delicious food, well made and curated. Excellent balance of flavors and looks great too. I think anyone, vegan to omnivore, could enjoy this food. Also, their dairy-free vanilla ice cream is possibly the best ice cream I have ever tasted anywhere, bar none - rich, creamy, vanilla flavor, absolutely stunning!
