Upscale Ice Cream Spot Van Leeuwen Is Opening Three Scoop Shops in Boston | Eater Boston
"This Seaport outpost, slated to open in summer at 131 Seaport Boulevard, brings the chain's signature focus on perfectly made traditional flavors (vanilla bean, Sicilian pistachio), strong vegan options, and occasional novelty limited-edition flavors to the neighborhood; the brand currently operates over 50 locations nationwide." - Erika Adams
The place seems fairly new, great location and they had so much ice cream flavors / variety. We took our ice cream and walked by the pier. They offer sundaes, cookie sandwiches, milkshakes, etc. The proportions are great. The service was good as well. No complains.

Great selection, Mango Sticky rice definitely my favorite! It has a sorbet mixed with vanillaish making it 2 flavors in one. EGT my second favorite, has a flavor similar to fruity pebbles. I like the consistency of their ice cream--not solid but melty either.

The shop is tucked away into a cute courtyard among other nice dining options nearby. I stopped in for an afternoon sugar break and the shop was pretty quiet. Friendly staff person offered me tastings of a few flavors before I decided on Honeycomb, which was very rich- caramel ish flavor. Sitting in the shop was relaxing and pretty comfortable, with plenty of seats, though I came on a quiet day. Only drawback is that the ice cream was a bit less than firm. Taste was good.

The mango sorbet ice cream was so creamy! It was a tad too sweet for my taste though!
The service was slow on the 4th of July because it was so busy! They had about 5 people at the counter, but only like 2 people were filling ice cream orders at the time.
There was little to no AC. It was HOT.

Ice cream honestly not that good, but service and ambiance super friendly and inviting. Workers were very kind and patient. The texture of the ice cream is just off… it’s crumbly and not smooth at all. Feels weird to eat. By far the best part of this shop are the flavors. Inventive and extremely fun, creative and makes the experience so much better. Great for mix in lovers, not recommended for gelato lovers. High recommend cookies and cream and brown butter cookie dough
