The Tasterie Truck

It’s hard not to love Food Trucks — especially the ones that show up in my office park and offer nice, fresh food with tasty touches. Tasterie is one of those. Fast, convenient, good food (got to love the bacon sandwich!).
As with most of my favorite food trucks, TT is NOT a low-​cost lunch option, but I can forgive that for the convenience of not having to hop in my car to seek out a good meal.

Tim catered our New Year’s Eve party and made my job as the hostess so much more enjoyable. Finger foods & desserts (lamb meatballs, poke tuna, cream brûlée and more) kept our guests moving till midnight. He was professional, curtious, and affordable… And the food was spot on delicious. Can’t wait to have him show up with his whole truck menu next summer.

The Tasterie Truck provided AMAZING desserts for our wedding. We had lots of small desserts and everyone said they were the best desserts they’ve ever had at a wedding! Thank you so much Shannon and The Tasterie Truck!

I redacted a previously scathing review after the Tasterie truck redeemed itself. They firstly repainted the truck so it does not look like a patisserie on wheels anymore. I revisited them recently and did not feel mislead by the truck’d wares. Kudos Tasterie Truck, you are on your way.

My favorite day of the week is when Tasterie comes to our office park!
Their ham & cheese croissants are not to be missed… but you really can’t go wrong with anything from Shannon and her crew – delicious, healthy food and always a cheery smile!
I LOVE the simple salad that comes with lunch entreés. The dressing is light and really lets the fresh greens shine.

Well… I usually don’t splurge on lunch but today I found myself with nothing but a yogurt and an old scone… not the most satisfying lunch. Our new office is in a prime location for food trucks and they rotate regularly. Today, the Tasterie was right outside so how could I go wrong? And I didn’t! The pulled pork Thai bowl was off the chain. The salad was tasty too! Friendly people rockin’ the truck doesn’t hurt either. Really, I can’t complain. Lunch under $ 10 in Boulder… how could you. Keep it up Tasterie and thanks for lunch!

Found this truck at a neighborhood thing a friend brought me to. Made it a point to snag a couple bites of my friends shrimp and grits they couldn’t finish. Bam! just enough heat to let it be known without overpowering the flavor. I went up to get a second dinner and saw they had deserts too! I had some brownie bites with little bits of caramel inside, some donut muffin things rolled in cinamon and sugar which I think they bake, not fry which I appreciate, and another order of shrimp and grits for later. I got a fast metabolism.

What you get is not worth the price. Trying out this truck, I ordered the jambalaya as it was the only thing that interested me on the menu and there were no other food options around. It’s a small bowl of pre-​made jambalaya, mine was lukewarm at best. I got a side salad with it and it was literally a handful of lettuce with balsamic vinaigrette poured all over it. The portions are small — if a 100 lb person says it’s a small portion, something must be wrong with that. In fact, I took a photo of the meal next to my palisade peach so you could get a good visual of the size of my $ 9 meal, or with drink, $ 11-​something. I was surprised at first how quickly the food came out, but the quality of it explains that. I’ll save that $ 11 for a food truck that puts its components together fresh, and gives a little more value for the money.

Tried some cupcakes. They’re my favorite in the Front Range area. I am so sick of cupcakes with mounds and mounds of overly sweet icing. Tasterie’s are just right. The chocolate salted caramel cupcake is amazing. I usually don’t like vanilla cupcakes with vanilla icing but found myself pleasantly surprised with Tasterie’s because I could taste real vanilla bean. Skip the other cupcake trucks and hit this one up.

I’m usually very cheap when it comes to lunch, but I decided to splurge on a meal from the Tasterie Truck, when it came by my place of work today.
Well, I’m glad I did. I ordered the ratatouille, with the optional pulled pork on top, and it was simply wonderful.
Eggplant, carrot, tomato, in a rich sauce, served over couscous, with some amazingly perfect pulled pork — definitely a delight.
The owner/​operators were fun, good natured, and engaging folks, I got my meal quickly, and was really happy with what I got. Would definitely recommend trying their lunches.

Love this truck! I always get the tomato soup with grilled cheese, which is a must! Also, the donuts are pretty amazing. The food does not disappoint.

Delish! These guys make Tuesdays at the office so enjoyable with their friendly demeanor and awesome food! The grilled cheese and tomato soup is amazing. I crave it weekly. They changed it up one week, thank you for going back to the original. The cupcakes are heavenly as well! I’ve had the lemon vanilla and the red velvet… both were great! Give it a try if you see this truck out and about!

love love love this truck! They come to my workplace once a week and always have something good on the menu to eat, from their sandwiches to salads I’ve never had a bad meal. I’ve also tried the cupcakes (birthday, chocolate, and red velvet) and donut muffins and they were all awesome. To top it off last week they had crème brûlée for dessert and it was fantastic. They are always super nice as well — I can’t say enough good things about the people and the food!

I had the opportunity sample many of this truck’s offerings at the Westword Dish last night:
Toasted Coconut Mini Cupcake — Yum-​Meaux! I’m impressed with someone who can make a mini cupcake that isn’t chewy or that doesn’t stick to bottom of the wrapper. I often joke that mini cupcakes are just a carrier for frosting. Not these though. Wonderful texture and the coconut frosting was amazing.
Lemon Puff Pastry — Light, lemony and flaky, it was wonderful. This was Brent N’s favorite.
Pumpkin Whoopie Pie –This was my favorite. Wow. I’m not sure what was added to the pumpkin mixture but the blend of spices made it one of the best pumpkin desserts I’ve had. And the cream cheese frosting filling was delish as well. They also had a chocolate whoopie pie. I didn’t try it, but Brent said it was «ridiculous» so I’ll take his word for it.
They were also serving up a peanut butter cup type Rice Krispie treat that we didn’t try (but looked wonderful) and their own dark chocolate which we did try and was lovely.
It was nice to chat with the owner and the baker, very friendly and very passionate when talking about their products. I hope this Boulder bakery truck eventually opens a storefront… or maybe it’s best that they don’t!

Great cupcakes, nice people!

Everything at The Tasterie Truck is amazing! Shannon and her fantastic customer service/​friendship just makes the experience all the better. I will ALWAYS be a return customer.
In particular, they have a treat called the sticky box which I have dreams about. Their cupcakes are a divine combination of sweet and light and they have the best pretzels I have ever had.
Try anything and you are bound to become a repeat customer!

Best ham and cheese croissants in Boulder! Love the Almond joy cupcake. Wish they had a storefront.
