A.C’s Icees is conveniently parked at Kennedy, located in Coconut Grove, waiting for customers to come by and enjoy cold frozen lemonades and delicious food and snacks.

The owner of the company, Allan Cohen, aka “A.C,” started his business of serving frozen lemonade and hot dogs in 1978. Fun fact: It was the first food truck in Florida!

Everyday, the white, lemon-themed truck is parked at the start of Kennedy Park.

“You know, I just do everything better than anyone else. I make all my stuff fresh everyday,” said Mr. Cohen.

Of course, Mr. Cohen isn’t there himself everyday, but there’s always an employee in the truck, ready to help and serve customers.
