Procopio's Ice Cream 7.6
Ludell Street Residential Pocket
Procopio's Ice Cream operates as a roaming neighborhood ice cream truck based out of a Ludell Street address, known locally for classic scoops and rotating frozen treats. It’s the kind of old-school service where kids recognize the truck and adults appreciate having simple cones and cups close by.
Must-Try Dishes: Cookies and Cream Waffle Cone, Strawberry Sorbet Cup, Vanilla Soft-Serve Style Sundae
Scores:
Value: 8.2 Service: 7.5 Consistency: 7.2 Food Quality: 7.8 Atmosphere: 6 Cultural Relevance: 7.9
What makes it special: Roaming ice cream truck with a loyal neighborhood following and classic scoop-shop flavors.
Who should go: Families and kids who like chasing the ice cream truck.
When to visit: Late afternoons and early evenings when the truck is most active.
What to order: Cookies and cream cone, strawberry sorbet cup, simple sundae.
Insider tip: Check local social feeds or ask neighbors when the truck usually rolls through your block.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: No formal parking — this is a roaming ice cream truck. Expect curbside stops along Ludell Street and nearby residential blocks.
Dress code: Completely casual — neighborhood streetwear, school clothes, or whatever you’re already wearing.
Noise level: Low — it’s outdoors and quick-service, with only light street noise.
Weekend wait: Minimal to moderate depending on the crowd of kids; usually a short line when the truck first arrives.
Weekday lunch: Typically no wait, though mid-afternoon school let-outs can create brief lines.
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes — nearly all ice cream and sorbet options are vegetarian.
Vegan options: Limited — usually 1–2 fruit-based sorbets that work for vegan visitors.
Gluten-free options: Some options — plain scoops and sorbets are generally safe, but cones are not. Ask for a cup to avoid gluten.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Only if you want a playful, ultra-casual vibe — it’s more of a walk-up dessert moment than a sit-down date setting.
Can I get a table without a reservation? There are no tables or reservations — it’s a truck. Expect to enjoy your cone while walking the block or heading home.
Is it kid-friendly? Extremely — this is one of the most kid-oriented dessert options in the neighborhood, with simple flavors and family-friendly pricing.
Best For
Better for: Quick neighborhood treats, classic ice cream flavors, and no-frills convenience right outside your door.
Skip if: You want a sit-down dessert shop, large specialty sundaes, or a wide range of gourmet or Instagram-driven creations.
