It all started back in 2012 — with the tap of a button, ice cream showed up wherever you were. 6 years later, Uber Ice Cream has changed a bit (it wasn’t always free!) but the spirit remains the same.

 

6 years of Uber Ice Cream

 

In 2012, Uber Ice Cream was a way for everyone to share in the joy of a frosty treat when you least expected it. From custom-designed ice cream trucks to pirates passing out cones, Uber Ice Cream has delivered over 200,000 sweet snacks to riders and drivers around the world.
