Good ice cream but this location gives you the equivalent a single scoop when you order a double scoop. Definitely skimpy on the portion size.
This is a great place to get ice cream. The flavors were interesting. Tons of options to choose from. I recommend blending vanilla with the Brooklyn brown sugar. This place can get pretty busy since it’s a tiny location. They don’t take cash so make sure you have plastic!
This was my first time here and I tried the Brown sugar flavor based on the recommendation of the server. It was yummy and not too sweet which I liked. They give you a lot of ice cream for one scoop. The waffle cone was crunchy and not soggy.
Cookie dough with walnuts was really good and chunky. Huge scoop, and really good waffle cone.
Van Leeuwen Ice Cream is one of my favorite ice cream brands in the US. The decor is cozy, colorful and lovely. The staff was friendly and welcoming.The flavors were limited during COVID-19. We had 1 scoop of pistachio in cup which was charged for $5.75 with decent portion.The texture of ice cream was creamy and delicate. The flavor was quality, natural and not fake at all. Overall, the ice cream was light, refreshing and perfect for a hot afternoon.
Great ice cream, obviously. I love their peppermint flavor around the holidays. The brand is like a New York icon. That being said I’ve definitely had some less good flavors here. I’m not vegan but I think their vegan flavors are generally better, because that’s kind of their specialty. This location gets busy with lines out the door and flavors sell out by late in the day. Still, great, just know you might need to be patient and flexible.
Honestly , the best Milshake I ever had (vanilla). We also had the cookies and cream ice cream. It was delicious 😋
Cute little ice cream shop in Soho! Absolutely loved their vegan ice cream! I chose the one scoop in a cup and it was $6.50 so not the cheapest place for ice cream but the flavour is worth every penny. I even had a hard time finishing it so at the end of the day, this could’ve been shared between two vegan ice cream lovers!
The best ice creams in town. I love their flavors
Best ice cream Ive ever had. Im lactose intolerant and the vegan mint chocolate chip icecream is to die for. The only reason Im not giving this place a 5 star rating is because the service was meh. The guy working there blasted the music so high you could barely hear him talk.
The ice cream here is awesome! I had really good peppermint ice cream, it reminded me of the peppermint ice cream that I always used to eat with my grandma when I was a kid. Additionally, we had a 7 person group, and there was only one employee, and he got our order perfect. People may have complained that it took a while, but what do you expect when there’s only one person working. At least there weren’t any errors with the ordering. Other than that, everyone in my group really enjoyed their ice cream, and thought that Van Leeuwen’s was a cute little place worth returning to.
Delicious ice cream- got the honeycomb flavor and the mocha cookie crumble flavor. The mocha cookie crumble was very good! The honeycomb is delicious but nothing too special.
Thought yummy ice cream.Saw mac and cheeze, what is that?Tasted like a sock.
It is ok... but if you European, you will find it a shot of pure sugar. cannot recommend.
Really great vegan ice cream with a big price tag for the amount of ice cream you actually get.
Choices of vegan ice cream available, though the flavour was good, it did not stand out amongst other places’ vegan ice cream.
In my opinion, I dont like. No big deal, cone taste bad and testure like old cone. I got pistachio flavor, it tasted everything but never like pistacho.😌😏
Possibly the best vegan ice cream I remember having.
Great option for vegan ice cream, the classic ice cream with pistachio flavour is delicious!
I enjoyed my visit here.I recommend their pistachio flavor ice cream, it was like a party in my mouth!
Delicious selection of flavors with plenty of vegan options. Be sure to try the flavors before ordering, especially the hazelnut crunch, which is out of this world. They also offer a kids size, which is not listed on the menu. Summer or winter, this is one of our favorite places for ice cream with clean, natural flavors.
Great selection of dairy free (cashew and oat based) flavors
They have a great vegan menu. They allowed me to sample all the flavors before I decided on my top choice. The chocolate chip caramel swirl was very tasty. I cant wait to go back for more!
Great Ice Cream, quick service, vegan flavors are also an option, highly recommend for all
The vegan chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream is quite possibly the best ice cream Ive ever had. End of story.(The line was incredibly long, and I think this is fairly typical considering how popular they are, so expect a bit of a wait.)
YUM! I got the Chocolate Fudge Brownie and added the Salted Caramel Drizzle and couldnt have been happier! Ate it in the cute park adjacent to the store.
Amazing ice cream. Try the Vegan Honeycomb!!! Even if youre not vegan, they use oat milk and the flavor is super rich!
Wow. The vegan bday cake ice cream is magic
OMG. Best ice cream I’ve ever had (I’ve had a lot of ice cream). Went there twice in 2 days for the pumpkin cheesecake (seasonal flavor) sooo creamy and delicious!!! I’m drooling thinking about it now lol wish they would open in DC!
The brown sugar crunch and praline butter cake was delicious!
They must be making a conscious effort to improve their service as the guy who served me was super nice. Willing to let me taste a few and makes a good espresso. Id go back. Vegan options are plenty and delicious.
Amazing!! Planet earth ice cream tasted great
This tiny hole in the wall in SoHo makes vegan ice cream so good it’ll make even the biggest dairy lovers switch teams! Every time I go to the city I’m looking for an excuse to go here. Everyone I’ve brought there loves it too!
Some of the best ice cream in the area.. usually a pretty long line to get your take out ice cream but well worth the wait. Several different flavors but not so many that will overwhelm you.. prices are on the more expensive side but you get what you pay for.. they also have ice cream in quarts and pints to take home as well.
Ice cream is delicious!.... but they’re SUPER STINGY with the size of scoops. If you’re going to charge $8 for 2 scoops it better be able to satisfy more than a 4 year old
This is an out of this world product that I look forward to as a treat. Always fresh and delicious, always delightful. I especially enjoy the vegan chocolate.
By far THE ABSOLUTE BEST vegan ice cream I have had!!! Not to mention, I love the decor, atmosphere, cleanliness, and customer service. I am officially hooked!
Incredible ice cream but this is a small, cramped location. There is air conditioning in here but the door is usually wide open so be prepared to sweat a bit. It’s worth the wait but fair warning, your patience will be tested.
Honey Basil Lemon Shortbread Ice Cream with Walnuts
Great customer service, fabulous ice cream
Best ice cream hands down - most especially because they have so many delicious vegan options that taste like the real thing and also because amazing flavours. go here.
Delicious ice cream a combination of traditional and unique favors. Vegan options also available.
Very delicious artisanal ice cream shop. Prices aren’t cheap, but it is well worth it. Staff are friendly and professional. I definitely recommend!
Fantastic Vegan options that were divine and worth the line!
Delicious icecream! Must try the earl gray tea ice cream. Very filling and great portion size!
Very small space but conveniently located between your shopping delights and commuting. Best vegan icecream I’ve ever tasted (also my first!)
Got 2 vegan medium sized cups with different flavors. They were all salty. Wouldn’t go again.
Despite the San Genaro festival being in full swing, the staff was friendly and the ice cream was delicious. Thanks!
A great place if you are looking for dairy-free, gluten-free and vegan “ice creams”. Great choice (even for non dairy and gluten-free). Tasty and high quality. No cash payments.
Delicious ice cream and lots of vegan options. Staff member was incredibly lovely and patient even though I took forever to decide and asked a lot of questions.
This is hands down my favorite ice cream in the city! Everything I’ve tried has been good, and the milkshakes are amazing!
Their vegan chocolate cookie dough icecream is the best. I get it every time its not sold out.
Ice cream great as always but staff definitely lacking at this specific location. 3 ppl there working at the speed of a single person. Will be going out of my way to avoid this spot for sure...
Staff is super friendly I really enjoyed my experience there and the Ice cream is delicious
Tried the honeycomb and lavender. Blew my mind.
Delicious Vegan ice cream with a good variety of flavours. Rocky Road is my favourite!
One of the best ice creams I have ever had in my life! Im kind of sad I found this place because Im going to be continously going to it now!
They have tons of vegan options. Lines can be long but good ice cream experience
Delicious flavors and an incredible variety of vegan super tasty ones!
Ugh I want to like it but the texture of their ice creams is just not up to scratch (gritty or lumpy or crumbly or with separated bits of fat or...)
Still not sure how vegan ice cream works, but less sure how it is so great
The best ice cream EVER! Service was perfect - even on this warm, sunny day when the crowds were thronging!
Nothing like ice cream on a hot NYC day. They even ran out of cookies n cream :(
So clean! Cute! Nice staff. Tasty vegan mint chip flavor.
Really good ice cream. The vegan stuff is delicious.
Wee but pricey but thats the price to pay for great ice cream for vegans and non-vengans alike
Love the different flavors and fresh ingredients. Pints for the road!
Tasted great! Vegan options are amazing and plentiful. Ps. NOT a vegan.
Unique and delicious vegan flavors available! Friendly staff.
Ice cream $10.99 , $4more than the same exact ice cream at a grocery store!
Service was excellent and the ice cream was delicious. Would go back and definitely recommend to others.
Amazing flavors. Vegan and regular are all tasty
Delicious vegan ice cream. nice staff.

5.75 for a scoop of vegan ice cream? No thanks.

One of the best ice-cream places in Manhattan. They have many flavors to choose from to match people preferences. The pics can get busy especially on weekends when it’s hot outside . The have many locations throughout the city. It’s my go to icecream place.
Excellent ice cream even with really good vegan tastes, you cant miss this ice cream parlor !!! It is also equipped with normal tastes.
Great Chocolate ice cream
Very rich ice creams, I eat ice cream cookies and cream with chocolate
A good scoop near Little Italy

2022-07-07It’s a small cute shop! I ordered the brown sugar walnut and toasted marshmallow s’mores flavors, and they together were too sweet for me. The former one actually has brown sugar cubes in it… If you love it it’s gonna be great.
Review №2
2022-07-14Quaint little ice cream places (one of many in NYC). Ordered one scope and got at least three! It was quite rich and filling!
Review №3
2022-01-05I asked for a scoop of their best-selling ice cream and I believe it was the honeycomb flavour. It was surprisingly good, agreeable sweetness! Would like visit again for other flavours.

2021-07-09If you’re not familiar with Van Leeuwen this is for you. It’s my first time trying the ice cream and it was delicious. However, it is too expensive for a ice cream. This two waffle cone ice cream with two scoops cost $18. Which you could buy 2 pints of ice cream at the grocery’s store. This place is super nice and service is pretty good. I got the pistachio ice cream and my BF got two different flavors. The cookies n’ cream and double chocolate fudge (I’m not sure) but it has a strong dark chocolate taste. Would I recommend this place? YES! Specially this summer to beat the heat.

2021-08-22I love Van Leeuwen. Best ice cream in NYC, period! They have the freshest ingredients, a huge variety of flavors from classics like vanilla bean to specials like bourbon cherries jubilee. they also have ice cream bars and a great variety of vegan ice cream. whenever i see pints in stores i always grab one. My all time favorite is Honeycomb.

2022-03-21Real ingredients. Smooth but not highly refined texture. A paucity of Creative and unique flavors. All within acceptable price point. Definitely not a typical frozen treat you get from a mixed match candy shop. Was hopping the service gets faster and include a black cherry flavored ice cream bc it is my favor ^ ^

2021-07-17Upscale prices, so this is a once-in-awhile treat. The vegan ice cream is delicious. We especially enjoyed the strawberry with cookie crumbles. We also had an espresso which was a good foil for the sweet dessert.

2022-08-08Let me first say, the staff was awesome. They were super friendly and willing to help me make a selection.We got two flavors: vegan peanut butter cup & vegan churro. The churro was essentially vanilla ice cream with an enormous amount of cinnamon, where as the peanut butter cup was awesome. The portions are a bit small but I guess that’s New York!

2021-04-06Van Leeuwen is reliably delicious! Good classic flavors plus many amazing vegan options. Earl Gray is usually my favorite go-to. The Brooklyn Black Sugar Chunk is also great with its different bits of cookie dough and nuts in the ice cream that creates a really nice texture and mix of flavors in every bite. The Spring street location is pretty small, so the menu is more limited. I was a bit disappointed that some of the more creative flavors aren’t offered in-store.
