I love that about half of the flavors are vegan. I had the special vegan flavor, planet earth. It was blue amaretto ice cream with pieces of matcha cake. So delicious.

I've been on a vegan journey for over two decades, and during this time, I've sampled a myriad of vegan desserts across different places. Yet, it's not often I come across a treat that truly stands out. Van Leeuwen's vegan strawberry shortcake ice cream is one such rarity that left an indelible mark on my palate.Strawberry-infused treats have always held a special place in my heart, but this ice cream? It transcends anything I've tasted before. The balance of flavors, the authentic strawberry notes, combined with the creamy texture, made it an absolute delight.For those looking for the pinnacle of vegan desserts, especially if strawberries are your jam (pun intended), a trip to Van Leeuwen in Philadelphia is a must. A pure joy for the senses, this place has set a new gold standard in my vegan dessert experiences.

I LOVE Van Leeuwen with its natural ingredients and interesting flavors. However, the American Dream location was lacking. First, the young staff was slow and disinterested. In addition, though I had requested the Vegan Mint Chip, I had my doubts that my scoop was, in fact, dairy-free, as I did not feel so great afterwards. If it came down to visiting this Van Leeuwen or buying a carton of their brand at the grocery store, I would probably just opt to do that, in order to save money and to insure I got the vegan ice cream I desired.

Every time I come here during the week, I see the sign of “we’ll be right back” on the register. It seems like when the mall isn’t busy, the employee just leaves and wanders around while customers wait for the employee to come back. They are also very unprofessional and don’t use gloves. So nasty. For a well known ice cream place, management needs to hire better employees with a good work ethic. This is unacceptable.

Christine was AMAZING! So incredibly patient, and was kind. She let both my boyfriend, my godson and myself try the different ice creams, which is rare in my book. My godson (7) was actually acknowledged by her, and let him make the decisions on which toppings he wanted (they had both chocolate and rainbow sprinkles, which of course is a kids dream.) While we were eating our ice cream we chatted with Christine about where to get a quick bite in the mall, and she gave us some recommendations. After finishing our ice cream, which was FANTASTIC (highly recommend the waffle cone), I mentioned to Christine that I was getting ice cream for my mother who was in the car. Christine suggested that she would keep the ice cream in the freezer until we were done getting a quick bite in the mall. After getting some food at the mall, we went back over to Christine who was dealing with a LARGE group of teenagers.Christine saw me in line, stopped what she was doing, grabbed the ice cream for my mother, placed it gently into a nice bag, with a spoon, napkins, and gave it to me. I normally NEVER write any reviews on Google reviews, but her EXCELLENT service inspired me to write one.While I waited for her to realize I was standing in line, her and her co-worker (I’m so sorry I forget your name, but it was right at the mall closing on April 30th), they navigated the large crowd of teenagers with kindness and patience (even though some of the teenagers weren’t listening when they finished their ice creams.)Please give them ALL of the props for navigating the large crowd of teenagers and doing it with kindness, and patience.Christine made my first experience with any Van Leeuwin products AMAZING! I live within 45 minutes of 3 of your scoop shops and would gladly drive the almost 2 hour drive to this location, just for the superb customer service.P.S. yes, this ice cream was the best ice cream I’ve ever had, and I’ve tried quite a few premium ice cream brands.

I have been to the one in the cuty years ago which was great. The honeycomb is most popular and i oived. But the honeycomb n other icecream here was not that great. Didn't taste fresh or the flavor much

I was a bit disappointed to not see all of their outrageous flavors on the menu! Very cute little shop and they moved thru the line very quickly!
There's no other place that makes a better earl gray ice cream! Pairs well with cherry chip too.

The girl who worked there was delightful! We were there shortly before close, and I would've expected some annoyance, but she was more than happy to provide her opinion and samples. They have a lot of great vegan flavors and very cute atmosphere. It just tasted a little less fresh than I would've hoped. I had very high expectations...but it was still solid.

Had the best experience of a lifetime with one of the workers. Extremely polite and helped me find the perfect ice cream! Went after 10 with my family and the lady working still served us. 10/10 would recommend coming back soon!!

Great service and great ice cream.The single staff member was very patient and helpful.Lots of options, including vegan options...there is really something for everyone.Prices are a bit high...$6.50 for the smallest option, but I've been to the ones in NYC and they are all around that price point...hard to complain when the nearby Haagen Daaz isn't much cheaper. But spending just under $15 for two small cups may not be for everyone.
