Find A Treat goes international: now live in New Zealand & Australia 🇳🇿🇦🇺

We started Find A Treat with a simple idea:
you should never miss the van.

From hearing the chimes in the distance to spotting a coffee truck after a cold walk — those small moments make a place feel alive. But they’re also fleeting. If you weren’t outside at the right time… they were gone.

So we built a live map that brings local treats to you.

And now, for the first time, Find A Treat isn’t just a UK thing anymore.

Find A Treat is officially live in New Zealand and Australia.

Why New Zealand & Australia?

Both countries have something in common with the UK — strong neighbourhood culture.

Ice cream vans still drive residential streets. Coffee vans serve early morning walkers. Dessert trailers park at beaches and sports fields. Food trucks appear and disappear with the weather.

They’re not fixed businesses.
They’re moving communities.

But until now, there’s never been a reliable way to know where they are.

Find A Treat changes that.

Instead of guessing, waiting, or missing out — you can open the app and see what’s nearby, live.

What users can now do

Whether you’re in Devon, Sydney or Auckland, the experience is the same:

  • See nearby ice cream vans in real time

  • Get notified when a van is approaching your street

  • Discover local coffee vans and food trucks

  • Follow your favourite vendors

  • Never miss the chimes again

It turns a chance encounter into something you can actually plan.

Morning coffee runs.
After-school ice creams.
Beach day desserts.

What this means for vendors

For vendors, the app isn’t just visibility — it’s predictability.

Instead of hoping customers hear you, customers already know you’re coming.

Vendors can:

  • Send a Ping when they arrive nearby

  • Build regular stopping spots

  • Grow repeat customers

  • Be discovered by new neighbourhoods

We’ve seen in the UK that once customers start tracking a van, they stop missing it — and vendors stop driving empty streets.

A growing global map

Launching internationally isn’t about scale for the sake of scale.
It’s about proving something:

Local mobile businesses exist everywhere — they just haven’t had the right digital tools yet.

Find A Treat isn’t replacing the magic of hearing the music.
It makes sure the magic actually reaches people.

Today: UK, New Zealand & Australia
Next: wherever there’s a van and someone hoping they didn’t miss it.
