LAReview
Van Leeuwen is big-deal ice cream in their native NYC, and they’ve started taking over LA too, with trucks and stores spanning from the Arts District to El Segundo. Flavors don’t get too wild, but there are enough rotating special flavors to keep things exciting, and the classics are excellent. The earl grey tea and honeycomb are our go-to’s, and if you see the lemon meringue yogurt tart in the case, do not hesitate. And for non-dairy eaters, Van Leeuwen also makes fantastic vegan ice cream: the coconut cream base isn’t too overpowering, but it’s just as creamy as the dairy-based original.
