The music of Mister Softee’s ice cream truck is not only the soundtrack to our dreams, it’s essentially a New Yorker’s alarm clock that summer has arrived. Though with that being said a warm day spent under the sun without bumping into the ice cream truck can certainly be enough to bring a tear to our eye–but this Mister Softee tracker app is changing that!
As it turns out, you don’t actually have to wait to hear the beloved ice cream truck’s jingle to get your hands on some soft serve–there’s a handy dandy app that allows you to track the ice cream trucks in real time so you can find the closest one to you!
And no, this is not a drill.
The Mister Softee map is available on both the App Store and Google Play–so yes, even if you’re a dreaded Android user (sorry, not sorry) you can find out where Mister Softee is in real time.
After downloading the app you can choose to make an account if you wish (though you don’t have to) and then give the app permission to use your location. You’ll then be able to put in your zip code and see a map of all the closest Mister Softee trucks to you–and if you click each one you can even see how long they’ve been on the road for–the franchise was founded in 1956 and it now operates about 625 trucks in 18 states!
And in addition to just seeing where each truck is you can also browse each one’s menu before heading over–though that’s unnecessary to us because we’ll probably never order anything other than our go-to chocolate soft serve with rainbow sprinkles.
One thing’s for sure–we’re going to be eating a lot more Mister Softee this summer! Download the Mister Softee tracking app here. Oh, and if you find yourself on Long Island this summer, the first Mister Softee store just opened there!
