Van Leeuwens

When I was researching vegan places in NYC, I immediately knew I need to hit up Van Leeuwen after reading reviews about the vegan ice cream. It didn't disappoint, I went for most unique flavor, Planet Earth. An amazing mix of fruity, creamy, and cake-y, it was so delicious that two scoops was almost not enough even with it being 40 degrees outside. Definitely need to try more flavors in the future.

Their strawberry flavor is actually my favorite - I think they do basic flavors very well. Not really a big fan of their more creative flavors. Usually long lines in the east village location but it moves quickly.

Awesome ice cream, wonderful located, nice ambiance...what else could one ask for in an ice cream joint? What flavors, eh!? I mean, that Earl Grey flavored ice cream has been making my mouth water since I first stumbled upon a Van Leeuwen ice cream truck on Bedford when they used to have those gnarly free weekend concerts down on the East River waterfront....ah, those memories! Admittedly, those memories contribute to this ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ review/rating!!!
