About Cone Appetit

The creation of Cone Appetit began in 2014 when after visiting Melbourne on numerous occasions and eating at various food vans we started to develop a passion for this type of business. 

Over the next 5 years, we began constructing what we believe is a unique mobile food business that also offers our customers great coffee along with a new way of enjoying food. Our aim was to design a range of foods that could be eaten in its entirety limiting the amount of waste such as plastic containers or wrapping. This is where Cone Apettit became a reality. With a range of edible food cones filled with delicious treats we now offer food van connoisseurs a new experience in street food.
