Located on the streets of University City is the Sugar Philly truck run by Dan Tang, Franklin Shen, and John Suh. They are a dessert truck serving stuff like cake, creme brulee, cheesecake, and pudding. Sugar Philly was also recently one of the trucks nominated at Philly’s first Vendy Awards.

What they make that I really enjoy are the French macarons. They offer several different flavors depending on season in addition to a couple flavors they always have. I stopped by after work two days in a row to eat em. On day one, I got dulce de leche and milk & honey and on day two, I got chocolate ganache and salted caramel. The cookies had a nice crunch outside with a chewy inside. The fillings were delicious too. My favorite was, unsurprisingly, the salted caramel. It’s so friggin good. Unfortunately, Dan told me it’s a little tough to make the filling for that one, so that may not be on the menu every day. Maybe one day they will?
