The ice cream vending machine includes a cooling system, a freezing chamber cooled by the cooling system, a canister arranged within the freezing chamber for holding a bead type ice cream, a cup supplying device arranged outside of the freezing chamber, for supplying a cup for holding the bead type ice cream, an ice cream discharging device for discharging the bead type ice cream from the canister, and a conveyor for conveying the cup supplied by the cup supplying device, the cup being conveyed between a location to where the cup is supplied by the cup supporting device to a location where the ice cream is discharged from the freezing chamber. The cup-conveyor may convey the cup either along a horizontal plane or in both a horizontal and a vertical direction. The cup-conveyor may also sealingly close off the ice cream outlet when the vending machine is not in vending operation.
