Person at counter was rude and told me that I had to check the allergens to see if I could get the ice cream I wanted and then we doing that he let a customer go in front of me and then they had to check allergies and he just let them check them in the front of the line and they took like 20 minutes. Bad service.

This place is cutely decorated, with cheerful, bright colours and a fun ambience. Service is friendly. The ice cream is average. I wanted more flavour intensity. For instance, the dark chocolate brownie fudge ice cream tasted vaguely of milk chocolate if anything and it reminded me even less of brownies. The texture of the ice cream too was not creamy and rich enough. The hot fudge was tepid and barely tasted of anything. I think grocery store ice cream is no worse than this.

Small ice cream shop with really good honeycomb ice cream. The salted caramel one was just okay.

I didn't order anything in the end but came to just see and try their ice cream because they are always serving up some whacky flavors like ranch or macaroni and cheese.The flavor I tried was quite good. And their ice cream is on par with some of the best like Breyers and Edys for me.

Always a great spot. Been to a few in the city and we always come back for honey comb. Another favorite is the churro and fudge. One year there was a peanut butter and jelly flavor, now it's Pb and chocolate. The mixed flavors get a little too frozen. The cookies are also just ok. It's a reliable chain but sometimes I worry it will become the carvel of the city. It's a staple for vegan ice cream and I love the to go pints. I need to come back for a milkshake! Waiting for like a wafer and fruity mix, flavored cones, more ube. So many new directions, or extra toppings idk. It's stiff competition in NYC.

The ice cream is so delicious with super unique flavors! Also there are a lot of dietary options available.
I LOVE this place! Diverse staff of multi-faceted young individuals working together to change the world one scoop at a time! Kaleb here helped me find the perfect flavor combination and THEY Did it with a smile. 10/10! Oh, and btw — don’t order the blue cheese ice cream! #insidejoke

Annually my family comes from Canada to come to Van Leeuwen. My fa ourite used to be the Earl Grey Lavender...until my hubby made me an allocator with honeycomb flavour. LIFE CHANGING.

Distinctly underwhelming. Pistachio was virtually flavourless, the dark chocolate fudge brownie did not have much to do with dark chocolate at all and the toasted walnuts were just boring walnuts without a toasty flavor.

I’m not vegan but like that there’s such a large selection of vegan ice cream. I got the seasonal pumpkin cheesecake flavour, it was really good! My sister had the honeycomb flavour but it just tasted like an overly sweet vanilla so I wouldn’t recommend that when there are so many other yummy flavors. Their spoons are very brittle and break off easily, happened to me and another person sitting near us.

Came to van Leeuwen for a post hh sweet treat and I was so excited that they have their fall flavors now! I tried the pumpkin pie, cranberry crumble, and sweet potato marshmallow pie flavor and they were all amazing. I'm a mashed sweet potato with marshmallow girlie at heart though so I had to get that as my chosen scoop. Considering it was $6.50 for a "kids scoop" I would say it's a little pricy for what you get, but I guess you can sample as much as you want which is pretty nice. Service was helpful and friendly. And the inside of the shop was clean. My friends and I just enjoyed our scoops outside the shop and it was fine. Overall, a solid ice cream place, good for dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten free etc), but you definitely pay for it.
