History

Established in 2010.

It wasn’t until Cole began working as an Enterprise Technology Salesman that he realized this love for food and interacting with people went hand-in-hand. He used his love of food to help him close countless deals, persuading clients as they dined in new restaurants and ate delicious food. Cole’s Palette started as a food truck unlike any other, providing a gourmet lunch experience featuring Cole’s «Sweet and Savory Waffle’s». More recently, Cole has decided to keep the Food Truck in one location so you can find him any day you’d like, and he’s staying open later so you can have breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Meet the Business Owner

Cole W.

Business Owner

Food has always played a major role in Cole’s life. It was in his mom’s kitchen in Cleveland, OH, where he first developed his passion for cooking. He enjoyed watching her cook, emulating her techniques, and helping her with different recipes. Growing up, Cole worked in a restaurant where he gained exposure to different types and ways to prepare foods. As a student at Cleveland State, he continued his «hobby» of cooking while pursuing a double major in Business and Communications. Cole began traveling across the U.S. and internationally, visiting restaurants and studying the different combinations of flavor and the presentation of food.

This stupid truck has been abandoned and parked in my neighborhood for months. I wish it would get towed.

Waffles were ok but definitely not worth 1 hour wait to get out food. Ruined the whole experience of walking around & sampling different trucks

Had the sweet sriracha glazed chicken and waffles while the truck was parked by the new apartments by the ikea in College Park. Wow, sweet and spicy, a wonderful combination. Sampled the truffle fries, some of the best ice ever had. Will definitely be coming back

I ordered the chicken and waffle meal at a recent truckeroo and I must say that it was good. He served breast meat, and it is juicy considering that breast meat is usually pretty dry. The waffle was tasty also. If I were him I would serve dark meat as it would be even juicer, cheaper, and easier to work with. He also only gives you a half of a waffle when you order it with the chicken which I thought was odd. Three pieces of chicken, yet only half a waffle? Get them full on the cheaper option which is the waffle from a business perspective. He also gives the smallest amount of syrup allowable by D. C law. I swear it was served in a thimble sized container. I like to sop my waffle and chicken in my syrup and get all the taste sensations in one bite, not possible with a thimble of syrup.

My first experience with Cole’s Palette was at Truckeroo. The special of the day was Srircha Glazed chicken and waffles. I really enjoyed them. The owner mentioned he does a Red Velvet waffle, so I’m really looking forward to having them the next time I come across his truck.

The chicken was very very dry. The waffle was just ok. As a previous reviewer stated it was soggy, and I expected a bit of a crunch when eating a waffle. I’d skip this food truck.

It would have helped a little had the guy at the window checked his attitude before getting into the truck. Anyway, my waffle was generously large, about a 2.5 eggo-sized portion; it had a little sweetness though also a bit of sogginess even without syrup. Not bad overall for eating on the go, but I’ve had better at b&m places like Farmers for a dollar less. Or maybe I should have been drinking to enjoy it, because I’m craving Waffle House now.

Dealt with a meanie pants associate today, so while the waffle wasn’t bad, they aint getting return business from us (juts chin at them and gives them the evil chicken look).
Seven bucks is a bit steep for some flour, though I appreciated that the pecan waffle that we ordered wasn’t overly sweet.
The bad service started with a curt, «I only have exact change.»
The worst of it was when he gave me my container, sans utensils and napkins. No explanation. I came back to him, and he goes, «We’re out.» Excuse my language, but what the helllllllll? A courteous person would have apologetically handed the container to me and excused himself or herself for running out.
And we noticed that a few other trucks were pretty stingy with the napkins, too. Do you need to reserve a few for the john???
In either case, blah service, as mentioned in other reviews, isn’t a dealbreaker. But noticeably bad and unpleasant service deserves a different type of shoutout. You suck, Cole’s Palette employee. Whether you own the truck or just run it for the head honcho, you’re as bad as that green Dr. Seuss creation.
You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch…

Had my first ever chicken & waffles @ Cole’s Palette. Didn’t understand the allure of breakfast food plus fried chicken, but Cole makes it GENIUS! Can’t wait for them to come out to my office park in Herndon, VA.

The BEST Waffles I have had in a long time… Your waffles were PERFECT!!!

Not bad at all.
A little bland, but it was a nice way to sit down and eat something unusual.
I had the chicken and waffles.
I would have preferred if the meat was dark, but I know for processing breast is probably easiest.
Only thing, it costs double what it should.

My whole office thinks Cole is a waffle genius! Light, fluffy, not overly sweet… amazing!
Just had the chicken and waffles. I thought they were really good. The breading on the fried chicken was really exceptional. But the chicken was balled up, which I thought it was weird. Although it was not dried out, I like thinner chicken and thought the thick, balled up white meat was hard to cut with the small plastic knife.
Per usual, the waffles were perfect.
I had it with a lavender soda and pop chips. He even gave me a free cookie! So cute, in the shape of his Cole’s Palette truck.
Overall, still impressed with this gourmet food truck :)

I’d give him 5 stars, except that it’s a little pricey. I had the crab cake sandwich, which was $ 15 with chips and soda. The fried chicken sandwich is $ 12.
The crab cakes were excellent: all crab, without filler, heavy breading, or greasiness. He doesn’t have regular soda, like Coke and Pepsi. Instead he has «Dry Soda» brand. The wild lime was good. Surprisingly, they have only 45 – 70 calories for 12 oz, compared to 165 for Coke. The «Pop Chips» also have only 100 calories for the whole bag.
The location of his truck depends on the day of the week. He’s at various places in Silver Spring on Tuesdays, Wednesday, and Fridays, and Rockville on Thursdays. See his web site for details. (Google the name for it.)
