Color Cafe

The “island-inspired” helados at Color Cafe on East MLK somehow manage to out-cool even the most refreshing of frozen treats in Austin. Maybe it’s the fact that this tiny trailer is practically a desert oasis in a hot parking lot shared with a couple other food trucks, or maybe there’s just something inherently refreshing about tart and tangy tropical flavors like guava, passion fruit, and mango. Either way, when the temps start creeping up, we head to Color Cafe.
