Scoop ice-cream "truck" at the north-station food cart pod

This past friday night, some friends and i bike-posse'd over to the north station food cart pod on Greeley and N. Killingsworth.  The turn out was decent, the weather was grand, but unfortunately my veggie burrito from the El Rancho Mexican Food was not nearly as good as the poblano burrito i had just a week prior.   I don't expect 3 star dining from a food cart.  But some flavor and value would be nice.  This burrito was underfilled, they forgot my sour cream, and it was mostly rice, flavorless rice.

Being disappointed, i needed more.  I needed something to write about that was positive, hopefully.  In addition, i remained hungry due to the diminutive burrito.  Enter "Scoop", the organic ice cream truck.  When I'm at blend, next door, i often seem to see people walking around with ice-cream, a good sign.  I had a single scoop of "salted caramel" in a waffle cone.  No matter how one pronounces caramel, this scoop was marvelous.   Just the right amount of salt to offset the sugary, creaminess of this delight.  It was smooth and almost buttery.  While the cone was way too big for a single scoop, i highly recommend that as well.   Amanda Rhoads, the proprietress, makes them right in the cart!  This was only my initial visit, so i'll abstain from a full review for now.  Suffice it to say, i'll be back, soon.  No cheery ice-cream truck music here, this truck is stationary with a willing and eager audience.
