This ice cream cookie sandwich truck is always on the go around the big city, so you'll definitely need to make sure you flag this one down one day.
The team behind Coolhaus' claim to fame is their architecturally inspired cookies and ice cream, but they've put them together to make sammies out of these two winning ingredients.
The combos are just the best too, and not to mention endless since you can throw any of the cookies and ice creams together.
