Food Truck

The Poly Trolley is back, better than ever, and ready to serve the Cal Poly Pomona campus community! This elevated version of the original Poly Trolley is an innovative food truck that serves a variety of appetizing items with a fusion twist. With a history that dates back to the 1980s, the Poly Trolley has come and gone over the years, but this time it is here to stay!

Launched in 2023 as the “baby” of the main Poly Trolley 2 food truck, the Poly Trolley Express provides faster service with a smaller menu in a convenient location at the Student Services Building breezeway. It offers quick breakfast and lunch items including burritos, snacks, and Pressed Coffee, plus handcrafted hot sandwiches and other dinner items in the evenings.

The Original Poly Trolley received first place in the National Association of College and University Food Services (NACUFS) 2014 Loyal E. Horton Dining Awards. The annual Loyal E. Horton Dining Award is a prestigious honor that celebrates and recognizes exemplary campus dining services throughout the country. In college and university culinary arts, the ultimate professional tribute is a NACUFS Loyal E. Horton Dining Award. The Cal Poly Pomona Foundation (CPPF) entered the Poly Trolley under the “Retail Sales–Single Concept” category, which is open to any single, stand-alone unit that is not part of a marketplace concept. Applicants had to send a comprehensive book filled with detailed descriptions, examples, and photographs of the unit and were required to address a number of topics, including the menu, facility design, merchandising, marketing, nutrition, and sustainability. Poly Trolley personnel and the CPPF marketing department worked on the 60-page project for nearly two months. CPPF competed against a number of prestigious schools throughout the nation. Following CPPF’s first place position is Carleton University (Ottawa, Ontario).
