Roy Choi's New Food Truck Serves Dole Whips, Boba And Smoothies
Roy Choi, the godfather of food trucks, is taking 3 Worlds Cafe mobile. His new food truck will bring those delicious Dole whips, pastries and bobas are coming to you. 3 Worlds Cafe in South L.A. serves coffee, smoothes, pastries and fruity desserts, including Choi's own take on the beloved Dole Whip—a pineapple-flavored soft serve treat that originated in Disneyland.
The new truck is a partnership among Kogi BBQ, Choi and Dole Packaged Foods. The cafe, which opened in the summer of 2013, gives proceeds to Jefferson High School, and the truck works with students via a business education class at the school, Eater LA reports.
The truck hung out today in front of 3 Worlds Cafe, but soon it will be on the move, serving snacks like Dole whip floats, 'mango bomb' smoothies, nutty brownies and the 'Boba Fête'—where chopped pieces of fruit act as the boba. To find out where the truck is headed, follow 3 Worlds Cafe on Twitter.
Another successful launch w/ @RidingShotgunLA @aqeela28 @DolePackaged @CRCD_SouthLA come get some;) pic.twitter.com/qx5kK2lrmN

At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
