Van Leeuwen Ice Cream

The Story
The little parlor on Bergen Street felt like a sweet step back in time, with its cozy charm inviting folks in from the Brooklyn bustle. Inside, every scoop promised a taste of honest-to-goodness creaminess, crafted fresh from local flavors. It’s the kind of place where a simple cone of housemade ice cream can make a sunny afternoon feel just right.

His name is Ethan and it was the best experience ever. Made my birthday the most special ever! Will never forget this! Thank you. He deserved a raise

Nice cozy store! I am always looking for good pistachio ice cream. This Sicilian Pistachio does not disappoint.

Van Leeuwen is simply the best ice cream in the city. The flavors are creative without being gimmicky and the quality of the ingredients is obvious in every single bite. The classics are perfect and the rotating seasonal flavors always give you a reason to come back. Creamy, rich, and never overly sweet — this is what ice cream is supposed to taste like. Long lines are worth every minute.

Best ice-cream I've had in New York so far. Really nice atmosphere inside. Staff were friendly and had a good laugh with us. Menu is clear and well laid out featuring some amazing flavours to enjoy. Went for the wedding cake which had real lumps of sponge mixed through and cookies and cream which was delicious and creamy. Will definitely be returning again.
