I'm no longer very impressed with the customer service at this fresh fruit stand!! I have always seen people grab bananas for $.25 a piece. Last week, I stopped by and got 2 bananas for $.50. I returned the NEXT DAY and was told rudely that she wouldn't sell me any bananas! I informed her that I was just there the day prior, and that I bought two from her. She finally let me buy just one banana, but for $.35. I'm not complaining about the price... but just the inconsistency and the lack of friendliness. I still love the fruit... but will be purchasing my bananas elsewhere. :) read more

Yes, the rumors are true. You can really get an overflowing "small size" carton of whatever fruit you want for $4. We had the mangoes and pineapples and they were fresh and delish. A few pieces were under-ripe but at $4 a pop, you can't argue. Each fruit salad also comes with a banana on the side. The perfect healthy snack. read more

Fresh Fruit Salad Cart - Small custom fruit salad , also came w a banana. Huge size! - Food Stands Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Absolutely great fresh fruit cart. Super-friendly couple running this. Clean and sanitary, I loved to get the mango-only fruit box (large). Tasty and cool. Or you can custom-make your own fruit salad, too! read more

This cart usually has a looooong line, but totally worth the wait. The best thing is that the fresh fruit here make for a really healthy lunch/snack. The portion sizes are big and I like that their assortment is pretty even, there are pieces of all different fruits not just one kind. In my opinion, the $3.50 fruit basket is a better value than a $4 smoothie! :) read more

If you need fresh fruit fast on campus this is the place to go. Their fruit is reliable, fresh, and worth it. I usually get a small fruit bowl and that is MORE than enough (in fact it's overflowing) for me and sets you back $4. You can also choose to take out fruits you don't want and customize it to your liking. Plus it's all topped by a banana : ) read more

This is by far the best fruit cart in the area! I had the unfortunate situation of wanting fruit too early in the morning, and this cart wasn't open yet so I opted for the one further east down Spruce. The fruit quality wasn't even close! I don't know how they do it or where they get their magical fruit from, but their fruit is always super fresh and super sweet. Best quality for the best price! The biggest downfall I think is that the lines do often get long, and it can take quite some time if everyone before you is getting a smoothie. The smoothies are delicious too, but I can't resist getting a "salad" so I can get the plethora of freshly diced fruit! read more

This is indeed the pinnacle of fruit trucks in the area. Their smoothies are totally and absolutely whole pieces of fruit unlike those of of other fruit trucks whose smoothies are about 80% ice. It's so exciting that you can get *any* combination of fruits that you want ! I've discovered the craziest things, like orange is a surprising and yummy twist in smoothies, and avocado tastes good with papaya, and kiwi seeds stay solid and crunchy even when blended into a drink. Their fruit salads and sizeable and their fruit is the freshest and the most dynamic in flavors. If they weren't so far away from my usual work places, and if there weren't those discouraging lines (read: a daily fanbase of people who are willing to line up for these smoothies, which are yummy not because they're sugary or odd, but because it's delicious, real fruit), I wouldn't be able to stop myself from coming here all the time. read more

Let me tell you, there is nothing worse than shelling out your hard earned dollars for less than awesome fruit. Bad Fruit is a mortal sin even greater than Bad Coffee. Bad Pizza. Bad Sex. Yup, I went there. I'd rather have unsatisfying sex than get a box of woolly strawberries and unyielding mango. You will not have this problem at "Fresh Fruit Salad" . Icy cold, perfectly ripe fruit, bursting with juicy goodness. All for the crazy low price of $3.00- $5.00. They even cater folks. Order in advance and you get can sail away on your own watermelon boat filled to bursting with fresh fruit for $20. I ask for extra honeydew. Cause it's the money melon. Smoothies also available, hand fruit and small bags of fruit for less than a buck, and a nostalgic assortment of penny candy. (Chick O' Sticks for a DIME) Am I glowing yet? Satisfaction guaranteed. read more

how can you NOT love fresh fruit? it's a great deal, considering the quantity and the variety of fruit you get. the small is $3.50, the medium $4.50, and the large $5.50. and the owner doesn't skimp on the servings either. she overloads each container to the point where it can't even close, and on top of that, every fruit salad comes with a whole banana! for $.50 more at every size level, you can customize your own fruit salad if you have a particular penchant or aversion to a specific fruit. read more

Fresh Fruit Salad Cart - large fruit salad - Food Stands Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This is the best food truck. EVER. I have frequented my fair share of food trucks and nothing compares to the simple idea of fresh fruit. Why is this food truck fruit superior to other options, like getting your own fruit at a grocery store, etc.? +Who has the time or energy to chop up a variety of fruit every day? Better, who has the money to buy such a large variety of fruits weekly (without it going bad)? +Don't forget, your fruit won't be cold and fresh halfway into your day - their fruit stays fresh and cold on a bed of ice +Prices compared to Whole Foods/other fruit shops are fantastic! I would probably pay $7-8 for the medium fruit salad by weight if I went anywhere else. +Fruit smoothies for $4 - a large smoothie this size at jamba / elsewhere would cost you upwards of $5-6. You can choose whichever fruits you want, and let them know if you want added sugar (Trust me, you don't need it) and they will have a thick, delicious smoothie for you to drink, which is heaven on summer days! I will be back here as frequently as I can. The mangoes and watermelon fruit were my favorite - extremely fresh, not too ripe and so much of everything! They overfill the boxes so much that they can't even close them and have to tape them close. So much to love! :) read more

A huge heaping pile of sliced and diced watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, oranges, grapefruit, grapes, kiwi, mangoes, and strawberries, with a banana on the side, all for four bucks. That's what you get when you order a large at the Fresh Fruit Salad Cart. The fruit is always really fresh and portions are huge. You can also buy whole fruit, and there's a pretty good variety. As a first year graduate student at Penn, I must admit that I'm still no expert on the whole food cart scene, but this one has quickly risen to the top of my list, and is the one I frequent the most. I try to avoid the greasy fried food of other stands, and instead go right for the good stuff. This the best of both worlds, as its tasty, filling, and you can feel good about yourself all day. read more

Literally one of my favorite places, ever. The smoothies are an amazing deal -- $4 for a great size, and you can customize however you like. No added sugars! Just fruit. The salads are great too. Amazing mix of fruit, and she really packs it all in that little small plastic container. Comes with a banana too (included in the price). The pineapple is always my favorite, but the watermelon and honeydew are excellent as well. My go-to smoothie is always the strawberry, banana, and mango. Highly recommend! Lines can get long sometimes, but worth it. read more

Best fruit truck on campus. Delicious, fresh fruit. Great variety in their regular fruit salads. And they are always bulging, which is the best. Fairly cheap for what you get too. Try their smoothies too! (Strawberry, mango, orange is my favorite) read more

I am addicted to their smoothies! Normally I would not buy fruit from a food cart outside work (basically, I would rather go to a farmers market)...just something I never would think to do, but my colleagues kept saying how amazing their fruit and smoothies were. OMG They did not lie!! I get a smoothie of Ice, Kale, honeydew, strawberries, and pineapple about 2-3 times per week. Sometimes I switch it up for the green smoothie that just has more types of fruit in it. The small (which is a good size to begin with) is only $3.00. Also, when you get mixed fruit, they put so much in the container, its bulging with the product! A small starts at either $3.00 or $3.50 (I can't remember off the top of my head) and you get a lot of fruit plus a banana! The fruit is so fresh and delicious, I salivate when I walk up to this cart. You can just smell how good quality their product is! Check it out if you can! read more

It's hard to go wrong with fresh fruit and stay in business. Either you buy good fruit and toss it before it sours, or you don't. Cutting it up and putting it in plastic, well that's a no brainer. Making a good fruit shake takes slightly more talent, but also not the hardest thing to do. All that said, you cannot fault a food vendor for having a hard to screw up gig. The service is great. The fruit is fresh. The prices are right. And boy oh boy are those fruit shakes banging. Yup, these fruit shakes oughta bring all the boys and girls to the cart... because, there better than yours :) read more

Fresh fruit and great prices! I had a mango and strawberry smoothie for $4, worth every penny ! read more

Fresh Fruit Salad Cart - Strawberry and mango smoothie - Food Stands Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Mango Strawberry Smoothie! YUMM I was on the hunt for something refreshing and thirst quenching for lunch. As I meandered: Starbucks? Boba? Iced drink from HubBub? I'm so glad that I continued to wander and stumbled on this food cart. Such a good deal for a delicious large smoothie. I love the fresh list of fruits that's probably ever changing pending the season and that you can mix/blend to make a nice refreshing cup of icey goodness. I wish I had added blueberries after seeing someone else order that so I can't wait to try that next. Their fruits look SUPER fresh. I was raised in a bakery and had the job of grocery shopping for fruits when young for our cakes. Mom: "Only buy RIPE strawberries: red all the way to the stem, seeds far apart, fragrant smell." Strawberries don't ripen after being picked so if you see any green areas... those are not ripe/sweet! This cart has tons of fruits to try and you can definitely see the quality ingredients that go into their fruit salads and smoothies. Tons of perfectly ripe strawberries for sure :) My smoothie was sooo deliciously sweet.. I wonder if they add any sugar to their smoothies or if the fruits are just that good. Such a great snack/dessert/re-energizer. This is actually quite the steal compared to Jamba Juice prices. Will definitely be back for more! The lines can be long and don't move too fast as they are preparing everything fresh in that tiny food truck. So definitely not a good place to indulge during lunch rush hour if you're on a time crunch. read more

I've only stopped at a few various fruit carts around University City, but none can compare to this one. A large fruit salad is $4 and comes with massive chunks of pineapple, mango, strawberries, kiwi, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, watermelon, grapes, orange, and grapefruit. To top it off, all fruit salads come with a medium-sized banana. For an extra charge, you can create your own fruit salad combination. The fruit is always juicy and flavorful, and it seems like they give you more than the other food carts around. Be prepared to wait at least 10 minutes before you get your food, since there is almost always a line and they have to assemble your salad as you order it. Also, while they don't advertise it, I believe they make fresh fruit smoothies as well (although I've never tried one). On the days when I go to their cart location and they are MIA for whatever reason, I cry on the inside. read more

I didn't come here enough when I was at Penn. I knew $3-4 was a complete steal for the huge almost-overflowing container of fruit (plus a banana!). I knew this place was much better for my body and my wallet. I knew all the fruit would be super fresh, ripe, and delicious. And yet it's not until I have moved away that I give it the appreciation it seriously deserves. I love you, fruit cart, and I miss you so. read more

YeahHiiiiiii!!!!!! By far the best fruit truck on campus. Easily the best value. If you can make it through the yoga pants-wearing crowd to order your $3.50 size small you better have plans to wash your hands later because the fruit is busting out of the container! Plus, we're not talking about your normal fruit here- we're talking about seriously sticky fruit: strawberries, mangos, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, pineapple, even kiwis!! Finish it off with the separate banana served still in the peel. For 50 cents more upgrade to a "choose your own" and pick your own fruit. Fresh Fruit Cart, will you marry me? read more

$3.50 for a small, "regular" fruit box, exploding with fruit and topped off with a banana, a fork, a napkin, and a plastic bag to carry it off to wherever you want to enjoy this ridiculously affordable mountain of fruit. It's almost like a meal. $4.00 for the small fruit box where you get to choose which fruits go in. I'm always too lazy to do this, but certain fruits do taste better than others in terms of freshness and ripeness. I frequent this place frequently. And I think you should, too. ^_^ read more

Hands down, this is the best fruit truck on campus! Most importantly, the fruit is always perfectly ripe. It's also the best value. Their regular fruit salad, includes fancy fruit like strawberries, mangos, watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, pineapple, grapes, even kiwis!! They pack this myriad of fresh fruit into a container, and hand you a separate whole banana (still in the peel), and a fork to eat the fresh fruit. For 50 cents more, you can upgrade to a "choose your own," and pick your own fruit (like all mangos and pineapple, for instance). But I trust the freshness of their fruit enough that I usually don't upgrade here, because everything is delicious and I don't worry about whether the watermelon will be grainy (never is here), or the mango will be unripe (always perfect here). Other carts often serve fruit that is over or under-ripe, so I will walk blocks out of my way to come to this cart over others. In contrast, I've never been disappointed here. This place rocks! read more

Not fresh fruit at all. I recommend the fruit salad on 36 spruce. This food truck has fresher and more fruit in a bowl. The two ladies are very friendly! read more

We can see this cart from certain places in our office. Many times we go to a window midday and peep out to see if the cart is there and/or if the line is short enough for us to skip out and get something quick. This cart offers the best deals for fruit salads and fruit smoothies. The ingredients are always fresh. If you have doubts about how fresh something is she lets you taste to see if it's to your liking. This place was a life saver after I had oral surgery and couldn't chew. I had a fruit smoothie for lunch and was satisfied (well, kind of). It's the perfect solution when I want something after lunch but before quitting time. read more

Bought an avocado, mango and banana smoothie which tasted absolutely delicious on a beautiful sunny day! The owner does not skimp on ingredients which she puts in and the portion is very generous. Will definitely be back again! :-) read more

Best fruit cart on campus! For $3 to $5, you get an overflowing container of perfectly ripe fruit - including mango, strawberries, pineapple, grapes, honeydew, cantaloupe, watermelon and more. Each order comes with a banana-to-go as well. read more

We got a mountain of fresh fruit consisting of mangos and pineapple for only $4. The quality of the fruit was excellent. My nephew devoured a smoothie so that must have been delicious as well. The small is enormous, I can't imagine what a medium or large would look like. read more

Love these carts throughout the city (I've been to the one at Penn and the one on 15th and Walnut). The fruit is reliable, and 3.5 for a huge portion of fresh fruit + a banana is great! For those of us who don't have enough people in the house to chop up and package fruit regularly, this is a great option. They're quick and high quality but I wish they'd do a little less melon (I haven't tried asking for more pineapple/grapes instead of melon so it may be my fault). read more

My favorite fruit truck around campus! Always getting the blueberry and papaya smoothie. It's hard to find papaya in most stores.

I love fruit trucks, I really do, and I have to say this is by far my favorite fruit truck. Their fruit is always fresh, ripe, and delicious, and you really get a lot for what you pay for. Their smoothies are also absolutely delicious, and you can put whatever fresh fruits you want in it for $4. Plus the wife and husband that run this truck are adorable. Whenever I visit other fruit trucks I'm often disappointed, maybe because the fruit isn't as fresh or because they have limited smoothie options, but mostly because I've become so spoiled by this one. Even though the line can get very long, I highly recommend this particular fruit truck! read more

This place is the bomb dot com. I probably would never have consumed fruit in my four years of undergrad if it wasn't for this truck. Somehow their mangoes are perfectly ripe over 90% of the time even in the dead of winter. Bonus points for having avocados! And making smoothies! read more

Great reasonable prices. Nice people who run the truck. Must try their green smoothie! The owner gave me a sample one day and I've been hooked ever since. The perfect summer treat! Think it has avocado, kale, mango, pineapple, etc. 3 dollars buys you a small but it's actually ginormous. read more

Delicious and fresh made smoothie! Great, large portion for $4.00. Can also buy fresh fruit for reasonable prices. Will definitely be back.

Might as well give this five stars, because I guess this is as good as fruit carts get. They close at 6:00, which for me is a little problem but whatever. I can't imagine how effing big the jumbo must be for 8 bucks. Probably enough for three regular people, or one me. I'll probably get it one day and post a picture. read more

Today was the second time I got a large fruit salad from this fruit cart and both times the quality of the fruit was excellent. Today I asked for less honeydew since my throat starts hurting from eating too much of it, and the lady was nice to substitute with other fruits. And you also get a banana with the salad! read more

Whenever I feel like I've been enjoying too much fried food and beer, I come here for lunch. The fruit is always good and the portions are huge. I love it and I know I'm not the only one, because the line is always long around lunch time. read more

Delicious fresh fruit salads for super cheap! The ladies who work there are very nice and accomodating. They also have smoothies at this location as well. read more

i got the golden finger which is strawberries, mango, and a banana. everything looks and tastes fresh. they add ice (obviously) and some water. maybe something else? but other wise its a nice smoothie. werent too many options for smoothies, but maybe you can ask them to add some more fruits in there. they were $3.50 read more
