I love Van Leeuwen’s. Always have. Think their ice cream is genius. Had the royal wedding cake and it was super good. Had the vegan planet earth and it tasted like nail polish remover.

Tim Hettler

Best ice cream around. Honeycomb is my pick, but you can't go wrong with any order. Try a vegan flavor if it looks good: you might be surprised! Don't have a sweet tooth? Come early an espresso

Nicole Regan

Much smaller than the one on Wythe, so the line can take longer and feel a bit cramped. Still large portions of great ice cream though. The cookies in cookies in cream are huge & chewy

Marie La Rue

Love this location as it is close to McCarren park . They have a variety of vegan options so everyone can enjoy a scoop. I personally stick with classic chocolate .

Sandra Rubinchik

Dirty Chai : The classic tale of an illicit love between an insecure Jewish chai tea (played by Jennifer Earl Grey ) and a bold, gentile shot of espresso (Patrick Coffee ). Five stars.

gcyc

Incredibly creamy but also super sweet. By the 4th spoon, I felt like my pistachio scoop was just sweet milk ice cream

Katy Ionis

Coconut and cashew milk vegan ice cream was delicious. The 3 scoop portion is smaller than traditional ice cream shops , one person could easily eat it.

Ray Lin

The Earl Grey might be my favorite ice cream flavor anywhere on the planet. Life's good.

Natalie LeMoss

The Marionberry Cheesecake ice cream is the best flavor! This berry only grows in Oregon so it is rare! Grab a pint to take home!

Elevine Berge

Affogato deluxe on a rainy day ????Vegan coffee ice cream w espresso over, and a gluten free peanut butter cookie mmm

Rainbeau

The dairy flavors are seriously creamy. A little goes a long way. Sicilian pistachios flavor is amazing! Give the vegan varieties a go.

Fodor's Travel

Everything is made in-house from the highest-quality ingredients: special flavors like pumpkin are available seasonally, and vegan ice cream is especially popular. Read more

I never thought I would like a vegan option more than the others until I came here! Try the vegan salted caramel and banana nut flavors!

Mischa

You can tell they are an ice cream shop and not a coffee shop , get an ice cream a d if you want coffee just walk a few blocks to get a good one.

Caitlin L

Amazing ice cream , lots of vegan options , good milkshakes !

Nelson

Really tasty vegan ice cream . Excellent texture and flavor. Best of all, no stabilizers or emulsifiers!

Anne Lin

The peanut butter chocolate chip doesn't taste vegan . So creamy and amazing.

Victoria Dim

Vegan Ice-Cream is gorgeous! Try banana nut and black chocolate , yummy!

Margot Mazur

Vegan ice cream ! Sooo good! Eat it in McCarren park and be a happy vegan :)

Kimmie Ohh

Amazing ice cream . Try their unique, exotic flavors but nothing wrong with sticking to the classics.

Noortje Offreins

Pea nut but ter choc 'late ice cream is all you need to know. Get a scoop of that. No, wait, get two scoops.

Sarah Brink

Perfect simple flavors along with a couple specialties. Perfect natural tasting ice cream .

Sarah Rosenthal

Pricey ice cream , but totally worth it. Share a banana split on a sticky summer night, it's a delicious way to cool down.

FernFern

Love all flavor, the vegan vanilla is great! Also the shot of espresso with any flavor is to die for!!!

Marissa Messner

They have delicious vegan ice cream ! Try the salted caramel , pistachio , or dark chocolate .

Manolo

Best pure ice cream I've ever had. Pistachio/Chocolate/Earl GreyTea all amazing!! ????????????

Bryant Balatbat

Don't let the size of this shop fool you. This is a Van Leeuwenhoek after all. Any flavour is good, even the vegan ones.

Peter Lada

Excellent custard based ice cream makers. The cookbook is widely renown. And they make a killer affogato .

Tom Wolfstein

The ginger ice cream is a hidden gem . The vegan options are also very good.

Jackie J

Great place to chill with a cup of Intelligentsia while you wait out the brunch line at Five Leaves. Coffee may not be quite as fabulous, but it also won't take 30 min in line .

Ana Marie

The best vegan ice cream I ever had

Jen Ball

Great for ice cream , but give the fresh pastries and their iced coffee a try. It's well made, and there's never a line in the morning. Read more

Alexander McRae

So pure, not too rich. Delicious in the way ice cream was meant to be.

Emily Soukas

Vegan ice cream and #gf brownie grumble ????????????????

Intelligentsia coffee + yummiest ice cream + baked treats from overly = major happiness win.

Great ice cream and coffee and so stylish as well .

The warm crackling music from the working record player underneath the front counter is a nice touch.

Probably the best ice cream in this neighbourhood. Super rich.

Lives up to the expectations. Great vegan options
