Creamy, unique ice cream flavors, including vegan options
"The Brooklyn-originated ice cream chain found a welcoming home in Houston, where several locations are now spread throughout the city. Find vegan and non-vegan scoops here, and venture through endlessly popular flavors, like buttermilk berry cornbread, vanilla bean, and honeycomb." - Brittany Britto Garley
"The Uptown Park location has served as a platform for local collaborations and menu experimentation; for that site the team worked with chef Hugo Ortega of Xochi and Backstreet Cafe to create the Horchata Dulce de Leche Swirl, a sweet, creamy flavor combining cinnamon sourced from Vietnam with a dulce de leche swirl. Company leadership has noted from this location that additional Houston expansion is underway." - Brittany Britto Garley
"I'm excited that the cult-favorite ice cream shop is opening a second Houston location at 1151 Uptown Park Boulevard on Saturday, August 21; the Uptown Park shop will join the Rice Village location that opened in May and a third location is expected soon at the Montrose Commons on lower Westheimer. To celebrate the opening they've partnered with celebrated Houston chef Hugo Ortega on a special, limited horchata dulce de leche swirl flavor, which will be available at the Uptown Park Van Leeuwen and at Ortega’s nearby restaurant Caracol." - Brittanie Shey
"Beloved New York City scoop shop Van Leeuwen is opening a second Houston location in Uptown Park later this month and partnered with Hugo Ortega on a limited horchata dulce de leche swirl that’s also available at Caracol; I note their limited-edition collaborations are often highly sought after—one recent flavor, Kraft Mac and Cheese, has been perpetually sold out since its July release." - Brittanie Shey
"In addition to the Montrose shop, Van Leeuwen also registered 'Van Leeuwen Rice Village' and 'Van Leeuwen Uptown Park' as business entities in October." - Amy McCarthy
