Co-owner Juylia Jerome with the Cookies with an Accent food truck, which was originally a police truck in Miami, Fla.
The cookies and ice cream aren’t the only part of the business that were built from the ground up. The truck itself deserves a few words, serving as the face of this unique business. Named for its original color, Silver was a Miami police truck once upon a time. When the couple first purchased it, there was absolutely nothing inside except a few holes and old bullet. Taylor

which is why she says you can expect only the best on their menu. Everything is made by hand, including the Oreo-like wafers you’ll find in their one-of-a-kind cookies and cream ice cream and the cinnamon chips in their gooey cinnamon roll cookies. Even the dairy products are locally sourced. Grass-fed, hormone, and antibiotic-free milk comes from Homestead Creamery in Wirtz, VA. All of this is rooted in the belief that the better the ingredients, the better the final product.
