Van Leeuwen Ice Cream

I absolutely love the concept of Old School Ice Cream Shop! It perfectly blends nostalgia with delicious, high-quality treats. The vintage vibe creates a fun and welcoming atmosphere that takes you back to simpler times. Their ice cream is top-notch—rich, creamy, and full of flavor. You can tell they put a lot of care into crafting each product, making every scoop a memorable experience. Whether you’re indulging in a classic favorite or trying something new, it’s clear that quality and customer satisfaction are their top priorities. Highly recommend stopping by for a treat that’s as delightful as it is nostalgic!

High quality, albeit more expensive ice cream. My wife and I were craving ice cream in the area and decided to go to Van Leeuwen. Service was very friendly and they were patient with us as we sampled different flavors. Our favorite was the honeycomb and another one I really liked was ice cream cake. It really tasted like ice cream cake! Ice cream was creamy and you can taste the quality. But it is also reflected in the price. $6 for 1 scoop, $8 for 2 although it's a big scoop. Not bad if you're sharing. Overall a nice periodic treat. Would come again!

Icecream was amazing. Person serving us was very patient so shout out to her. Area was clean and nice assortion of flavors. Would come again when I’m in the area!

Favorite ice cream spot in Dallas!! Special shoutout to Kennia for being the happiest and nicest employee ever! She always makes us laugh when we come in! The ice cream is amazing here, I really love the sweet potato marshmallow pie (don’t knock it till you try it!!)

Such bright and welcoming atmosphere! Melody was who helped us and she was very friendly and kind. Overall great experience on top of good ice cream!

Stopped into the cutest ice cream shop! I loved the customer service! Melody is great! She was such a sweetheart! Great knowledge on the menu and daily, weekly specials! I will be returning! Thanks for such awesome service.

Fantastic vibes and delicious French ice cream! Definitely recommend! Great people, great vibes and great ice cream!

Vegan options are fantastic! Favorite is the dark chocolate fudge brownie. Tuesday is free topping.

We stopped by here after dinner and it was the perfect sweet treat! I got the strawberry matcha and my friend got the blueberry jelly donut ice creams. The strawberry matcha was perfect! Matcha was slightly bitter and complemented the sweet and tart strawberry ice cream so well. The blueberry r jelly donut had swirls of blueberry jam and what seemed like cookie or pie pieces mixed in. There were a variety of flavors which I loved. The flavors were all unique as well. Service was good and inside is cute and colorful. The spot is small tho and there is only 1 seating.

Small with not much seating so mainly a to go place. Would come again!

I'm a big fan of Van Leeuwen! I initially heard about them because of their off-the-wall flavors (like mac n cheese), and I was excited that they have a location in the heart of Uptown Dallas. Service is always great, the store itself is so cute, clean, and has pints to buy in the freezer. My personal favorite ever is ice cream cake, which consists of a blue icing swirl inside cookies and cream. This is definitely a splurge, and though you can get a pint from the grocery store for about the same price as a single scoop, I enjoy stopping by every once in a while!

Great ice cream late at night. Imagine my surprise when I realized Whole Foods carries it as well!!

I visited Van Leeuwen Ice Cream in Dallas and tried one of their vegan options. Unfortunately, it was quite chalky and lacked flavor compared to other vegan ice creams I've had. That said, the shop itself was a delight--clean, inviting, and with a trendy, cozy vibe perfect for an ice cream outing. The service was also top-notch, with friendly and attentive staff who made the experience pleasant. While this particular vegan flavor didn't hit the mark for me, the overall ambiance and customer service would make me return to explore other flavors on their menu.

I ordered a cookies and cream milkshake. It was a bit too milky but it tasted yummy. I feel like you can't go wrong with cookies and cream. However, I think that for a milkshake, it's on the pricier side. This isn't something I'd purchase regularly. Service is friendly and it wasn't busy on a Tuesday afternoon. The place has a nice selection of flavors to choose from and they make their own waffle cones.

Ok, let me start by saying I was intrigued by the vegan sweet potato marshmallow pie, but not sold. I had a sample of it and yum! I was delighted! It is sweet, but not too sweet and for a nice treat with it being sweet potato, I convince myself that it can't be all that bad for me. Haha To anyone reading, give the vegan sweet potato marshmallow pie a chance! You won't regret it!

Loved the vegan options! Definitely going to go here again whenever I am in Dallas. Unfortunately they were out of cookies when I went but I would have loved to try the ice cream sandwich with a choice of an ice cream to go with it. Very delicious, one of my favorite vegan ice cream spots now. So many options.

Stopped here while in the area for a quick ice cream to end the night. Everything I sampled was amazing. Staff was quick and plentiful. They really moved quickly to ensure folks tried whatever they wanted and that the line moved quick. I ended up choosing the Honeycomb Ribbon Fudge. It was just perfectly balanced with the fudge and the honeycomb ice cream. But you really couldn't go wrong with any flavor here. Must stop here when in the area.

The inside is sooo pretty not sure there's a place to sit tho and smells super good! There was a line when I walked in but it goes by really fast!! I got a scoop of the vegan cookies and cream and a scoop of the vegan peanut butter brownie one! BUT I should've just got double cookies and cream it is SOOOO GOOD 12/10!! To decided to get a cone bowl and it was perfect they make them FRESH on a waffle maker! If your non-dairy like me this is perfect - I never heard of this place but I will definitely be back!

This place is such a curiosity to me... they have the absolute best ice cream in Dallas (especially the best *vegan* ice cream)... but the staff always seem soooooo sad. They are always kind when you talk to them (they are never smiling and seemed surprised when I first ask "how is your day?" Instead of simply telling them what I want) and they good at their jobs (e.g. they are fast and accurate and keep a clean store), but it's like there's a weight over their hearts that is absent in the employees at other ice cream parlors with far inferior product. Is the secret ingredient that Van Leeuwen has stolen the souls of their scoopers and placed them in the frozen treats?!?

So many delicious vegan options! The staff are sweet (pun intended) Service was a little slow but I blame the small building. Colorful and well lit. But above everything else, THE ICE CREAM! Get the banana bread chocolate swirl! Your mouth will thank you!

What's thick, creamery, and has your mouth begging for more? Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, of course! I Love Van Leeuwen ice cream. Anytime I'm in the grocery store, I have to go by the ice cream isle to see what new eccentric flavors Van Leeuween has on the shelves. From Praline Butter Cake to Dijon Mustard(yes, you read correctly), Van Leeuwen literally has something for everyone. So, when I found out that they had not 1,but 2 store fronts in the DFW area, I had to slide through. So, me and average height, medium skinned, Mr. Dreamy went on a quest to check out what the store front location on McKinney Avenue had to offer. Before you even hit the door, you are greeted with a sidewalk tent sign, beaconing you to step inside and try out one of the seasonal flavors. Pumpkin Cheesecake, Vegan Sweet Potato Marshmellow Pie, Cranberry Crumble, and Thandai ALL READY had me rebuking a spirit of greed. Then, I opened the door! More than 30 flavors of French Ice Cream and Vegan Ice Cream assaulted my sense! Pints, Ice Cream Bars, Waffle Cones, Shakes, Build your own Sundaes, Ice Cream Sandwiches and floats had me in a choke hold! Plus, they had almost as many topping available. Mr. Dreamy(a permanent residence of Cookies & Cream or Mint Chip) asked to sample the Planet Earth. Now there is nothing Vegan about this man, and I asked him TWICE about his choice of sample. One taste and he was GONE! Didn't even taste anything else. 2 scoops on a waffle cone of Vegan spirulina and almond custard, with matcha green tea cake pieces, had him drooling! It was rich and silky, with earthy undertones and a mouth feel of a full-bodied wine. Bliss!! I tried several different flavors( I told you bout that greedy spirit) and happily settled in on the Sour Cherry Creamsicle that blew me away! Ribbons of Sour Cherry folded into a Tangy custard reminiscent of Buttermilk pinged all across my tongue. It was rapturous! The girls at the counter were fun and engaging. Making suggestions on flavors and providing feedback of what was most popular. It was everything I dreamed of! Looking for a cool(ha ha, get it) luxurious splurge to treat yourself with? Skip the grocery store and head over to Van Leeuwen. Check It Out!!!

The vibe is cute. The staff is friendly. They have vegan ice cream. But these prices are too much for some ice cream. Omg. like offer a deal or something.

Waffle cone was soggy. Ice cream was forgettable. Servers were over-chirpy. For a $10 cone. Really dreadful experience. Won't be back. Don't bother.

We got the cookies and cream in a cone and it's nice they also provide you with a spoon. It's probably the most money I have ever spent on ice cream and it was fine, but you can't really screw up cookies and cream. The waffle cone had a hint of cinnamon in it, which I thought was nice, but my partner did not enjoy. There's a single table to sit inside and enjoy your ice cream so it's pretty much a to-go. They use metal spoons for samples, which is nice and eco friendly. The customer service was poor. We weren't greeted and I don't think the lady said a single word to us during our transaction. She seemed like she was in a bad mood. Of course there's the obligatory tip question at checkout as well.

Great selection for us dairy free folks. So glad we stopped in today while visiting in Dallas. We will definitely return to enjoy again. Great selection of vegan (non-dairy) ice cream and much better than the two other places I stopped at attempting to find normal flavors that everyone should carry. Staff was also friendly and inactive and not just dreary and unhelpful, so that was a pleasant surprise.

Too expensive and limited flavors. It tasted okay, but didn't hit the spot. Location is good.

This was my first in-store Van Leeuwen experience. I felt that the staff wasn't very friendly and kind of rushed me and I found the menu to be pretty limited. I got the praline butter cake ice cream and topped it with Oreos but the butter cake element was missing in my opinion and it wasn't very satisfying. I'm going to have to stick to their cookies and cream flavor if I ever find myself here again.

Really nice people and pretty good ice cream. They have a lot of vegan options which was awesome. It was a little too sweet but I love the variety!

Super friendly owner with plenty of ice cream choices. We stumbled upon this place and we were pleasantly surprised with the unique flavors they have to offer. It's a nice neighborhood to walk around in. I never really knew about Van Leeuwen, but now I am seeing it more in the grocery stores. So it is nice to know I am able to get it there as well. I appreciate how they have dairy-free options, as one of my kin was allergic/intolerant to dairy at the time.

I enjoyed this ice cream spot. They had a variety of different flavors and the staff was willing to let you try multiple things. I ended up wiith earl grey tea and coconut it was good. My daughter got a basic chocolate but she liked it.

I love Van Leeuwen ice creams, so I was glad to find out about this location. The location is not big, but it has some indoor seatings. Service is prompt too. For flavors, I really like the honeycomb. It's not actual honeycombs inside, but caramel candy. They have seasonal flavors too so be sure to check what they have. Only complaint here is that they sometimes run out off of non-ice cream items; not a big deal tho.

Looking for something refreshing , then this is your place. When you first drive-up the yellow decor just pull you in. After you enter you are immediately greeted by a charming Van Leeuwen Employee. She was very knowledgeable all of the flavors of ice cream. If you are unsure which flavor to choose , you are allowed to taste before purchase. I decided to purchase the ice cream sandwich with cookie n cream ice cream. The cookie n cream ice cream is place between two soft and light crunchy chocolate chip cookies . It is wrap and place in a cup for easy handling. The ice cream and the cookie was a perfect combination . The ice cream was not too rich with the perfect amount of cookie mixed. The homemade cookie reminded me of Crumbl chocolate chip cookie. It was packed with flavor. If you would like to take a pint of ice cream home they had many flavors to choose from.

I was excited to see that Van Leeuwen had a store front because I would always purchase the vegan ice cream from HEB since lactose isn't my friend. I think the actual store is cute, but the ice cream was a bit disappointing. Literally no flavor, just cold and the mild flavor of coconut cream. I had pistachio and cookie dough. There wasn't a single piece of cookie dough in the cookie dough ice cream. The person working there was nice, however there could be a bit more seating or at least better way to organize the line because I could barely walk into the shop. Maybe one day when I'm feeling spicy, I'll go try to non-vegan ice cream and hope for a better experience.

Good vegan flavors! I was really impressed with the options and it wasn't icey it was creamy

So excited to have a vegan/dairy free section on the menu! And getting to have so many options to choose from rather than just one or two.... And one of them being a sorbet. Staff was really nice and the ice cream was amazing! They are open late so it was a perfect way to end the evening.

I have always wanted to try this place after they went viral on TikTok for their weird flavors like pizza and Mac and cheese. When we walked in we were immediately greeted and were met with music. I will say the menu can look overwhelming but it wasn't too hard to find a favorite. This place is also perfect if you are vegan because, they have a LIST of flavors. I ended up with the Praline Butter Cake after she recommended it. It was AMAZING to say the least. If you are looking for delicious, high quality ice cream, this is the place!

When we first walked in you could tell it was good homemade ice cream And the ice cream was amazing I got cookies and cream. the service was very good and they were very kind. I would definitely go here if I needed a good ice cream. And I LOVE ice cream

Yes the pricing seemed high? But I feel like all ice cream shops are around this price nowadays. $5.75 for one scoop. Can't remember how much extra a waffle cone was. Been wanting to try their ice cream which you can also find in stores but why not get it "fresh" at a storefront? They don't open until noon on the weekends? But was able to get a scoop before then. They have a lot of different flavors and sampled a decent bunch that I now can't remember... you'll definitely find something you like. My friend really liked the vanilla. I wanted to like the earl gray but I wasn't drawn to it enough to order it. ended up opting for the pistachio. It is very creamy. Definitely can tell it's not low calorie. The general manager was great about explaining the different flavors and being patient with the sampling. Got to try a vegan cookie as well which was pretty good. There's one small table in the shop so it's more of a grab and go type place. Guess you could grab your ice cream and walk around West Village, but would be nice if there was more seating.

I love Van Leeuwenhoek ice cream. Very tasty, smooth, with lots of flavors! The downfall is it's hard not to eat the whole pint in one sitting!

First time here, the ice cream is 8/10. I tried the birthday cake I believe it's called, the vanilla and the cookie dough. They were all pretty good! I ordered an ice cream cookie sandwich with vanilla bean ice cream. 0/10. Literally not what I was expecting at all. The cookie was hard and cold...with cold ice cream in the middle. What kind of sense does that make? I was expecting a warm, at least KIND of soft cookie with my ice cream. But no, it was giving chips ahoy cookie with ice cream. Terrible. The customer service was a 2/10. The young lady that was helping me try flavors was nice but not knowledgeable. The other young lady that checked me out, she was rude and had an attitude...not sure why. After I discovered that the cookie sandwich wasn't what I expected, I took it back in and was very nice about it. I stated that it wasn't what I was expecting and what my expectations were. She said "We can't microwave it or anything" I said oh okay, well I don't think I want this. I'm sorry. She stared at me...and said "so do you want a refund or something?" ?????? What? Lol I scrunched up my face and said yeah, I guess. No "did you want something else" or any type of recommendation, an apology or the process for the cookies. I'm not sure what their protocol is with situations like that but that alone made me make my decision to NEVER go back. Very cute place and idea but customer service needs work and they need to rethink their cookie sandwich product.

They are located next to kendra scott in west village. Good ice cream but pricey. Could use more flavor because the flavors are too ordinary. I've seen strawberry, mint chocolate chip, pistachio at few other ice cream shops that are way cheaper. Bring Butler's big face ice cream flavor here, why does NYC get all the good flavors! I love their earl grey and prailines. I add pistachio at home, it bring out the nuttiness in the prailines.

I asked the lady was their any nuts in the vegan ice cream she proceeds to tell me to scan the app to check, well the app showed it was no nuts in my chosen flavor but may contain treenuts was on all.. that's not uncommon but since when does cashew and penuts fall under treenut. I started having a reaction right in the store and had to pull out my epi pin the lady could care less and proceed to ignore and act like she hated her job

Expensive but amazing flavor and quality of ice cream. Clean ice cream place and nice staff! 4/5 for the earl grey 5/5 for the black cherry chip Pretty good chocolate shake!!

Now that summertime is here and the weather is getting hot you definitely need to pop in and get yourself some ice cream. They had so many flavors to choose from you should not be able to leave without finding an ice cream that you will enjoy. They can get crowded in there can be a line especially if you want scoops and not the containers. If you're going through the containers and the service is quick and easy and fast and you can get out the door. It is definitely a place I will be returning to during the summer for cool and sweet ice cream treats. I might even have to pick up a flavor and make an ice cream shake.

Really good ice cream. Ice cream is very creamy. I got a special which was coffee affogato and it was good. I've had much better coffee ice creams, but it was good. I also got the peanut butter brownie chip. There was a lot going on but it was good. I tried just the chocolate and it was really good chocolate ice cream They had a special strawberry margarita ice cream and it was amazing. I was skeptical, but we thought it was outstanding. Raspberry layer cake was also good. They need to make strawberry margarita a permanent flavor.

Last week I went to check out the Van Leeuwen store front in Uptown. I've seen some of their experimental flavors like Kraft cheese and newest Ranch. So, I was interested to trying before I committed to a scoop. Viva La Difference . As I walked up there was a line out the door. Sunday was warm and folks were hanging out. The line moved quickly even with patrons asking to sample multiple flavors. So I got my turn. I sampled the Marionberry Cheesecake and Lemon Poppyseed Muffin. I was about to get two scoops but asked the lovely server what her favorite flavor? She mentioned Honeycomb. I went with dealers choice. I'm so glad I did. Honeycomb was by far my favorite flavor. I also enjoyed the Marionberry Cheesecake. I got the cone on the side. Before I left I tried the latest experimental flavor Malted Milkshake and Fries. It was interesting. I could definitely taste the fries flavor. It's strange and cool. I know some people will dip fries in the ice cream. So this would be they're jam! I was so taken thrilled with Honeycomb I bought a pint at the store. Just FYI those wild flavors like Ranch per the server would only be found in the stores like Walmart. Keep your eyes out and pick up a pint. Until then, go to Uptown get a scoop and walk around the area.

We had really mixed feelings about this place. My wife and I are ice cream lovers, and the ice cream itself is delicious. I had a triple scoop in a cup of Honeycomb, Coffee Affogato and Vanilla. My wife had a double scoop with Brown Sugar Cookie dough and Honeycomb. While the ice cream was great the employees and customer service was quite disappointing. When we first walked in there were 3 other sets of customers in front of us. One ordering and 2 waiting to be helped. Behind the counter there were two employees, one guy and a girl with blue hair. The guy was the only one of the two actually assisting customers, but with a sulky attitude and demeanor like he didn't really want to be there and he was clearly frustrated by not having any assistance whatsoever helping customers. The blue haired gal proceeded to do something with a box of cones (counting them maybe? Hard to tell) and then she filled the whipped cream tool and then disappeared to the back of the store. Neither employee seemed to have any sense of hustle to complete any task they set out to do. It took probably 10-15 minutes for the male employee to help the people in front of us before we were able to order. By the time we left there was hardly room to stand in the small store. I can't even imagine how long it took for some of those people to get their dessert. I can say that I wouldn't wait any longer than did tonight.

It's very hard to find dairy free "ice cream" options. If you're vegan or dairy free Van Leeuwen has great options for you. My favorite is the chocolate chip cookie dough and honeycomb bar in the freezer.

Yum! Was excited to try this cute NYC-based ice cream store that recently opened in West Village. The inside of the store is cute and the employees are friendly and willing to provide as many samples as requested, which is alway great at an ice cream shop. Flavor-wise, some of the more unique and delicious flavors I've had at an ice cream shop - including an "all the cookies" flavor (pictured) and honeycomb. Your order comes with a cup or sugar cone, while a waffle cone costs an extra $1.50 which we realized after the fact. Overall, giving four stars instead of five due to price - came out to $16 for two 1-scoop waffle cones. But - will be back to try out some more flavors in the future!

Cute place. Quality is trash. $12 for a pure liquid milkshake. lol. Lmao even. Don't recommend

Wonderful, unique dairy-free ice cream flavors. Clean ice cream shop with quality service. Will be back.

The ice cream here is amazing!!!! They sell scoops or in pints and pints are just as amazing. The service is always friendly and quick! A little pricey but totally worth it every single time. The store is cute and the ambiance is very casual and light. Parking is bad but you can just park in garage and walk over no big deal. 12/10 would recommend this place to a friend

This review is on the ice cream not the store itself. I just became aware of the store in Dallas, I will be checking it out. I've had the peanut butter brownie chip & the brown sugar cookie dough from central market, awesome. Finally a creamy ice cream that actually puts chunks "not tiny pieces " of the good stuff swirled in. I wasn't aware there was a store front in Dallas, I will definitely be checking it out.

The ice cream quality here is impeccable. Their regular and vegan flavors and consistency are unmatched. Beyond the ice cream quality though, the GM, Hannah, is top notch in customer service. She gave us honest feedback about different flavors, fantastic recommendations and was just genuine and so sweet - all in a 5 minute span of interaction. If you're stopping anywhere for ice cream, be sure to stop by Hannah's Van Leeuwen in West Village or Inwood. She's a 10/10

So fresh and delicious!!! The employees were sweet and I loved the ambiance. Also really like the area.

Ice cream is good but portions are comically small. They need to be less petty with the single scoops in the waffle cone or have smaller waffle cones. I been there several times since opening and I'm noticing scoop size getting smaller even after a few months. Today there were two bros (employees) talking with laptops out on the only table inside the store so we couldn't sit inside. They didn't help us and had to get someone from the back that was obviously on break (and upset) to serve us. I felt bad. They also started to handout BOGO coupons which leads to tell me sales must not be that good.

The ice cream was outSTANDING!!! The inside of the was adorable and the workers were probably the best service I ever had. So kind and hilarious which make you feel welcome. Already wanting to go back tomorrow!
