Van Leeuwen Ice Cream

I tried Van Leuuwen ice cream in Brooklyn a few years ago and immediately became OBSESSED. It’s one of the only spots that has a wide variety of vegan flavors, which is perfect for someone with severe egg allergies like me. I would sadly have to wait to travel back home to get my fix (although Whole Foods does sell it but not the vegan options that I like). When my friend and neighbor Nick (who is friends with the founders) told me a location opened in SoBe, I said LFG!! And OMG! I’m in ice cream heaven. There are about 5-6 vegan options, and almost 20 non-vegan flavors. I’ve since brought friends, a date, and today I brought my dad, who fell in love with the Blue Jasmin Passion Fruit Swirl and would not stop talking about it as he indulged in it. My favorite by far has been the Cookies & Cream Caramel Swirl with hot caramel on top. The staff is amazing, especially Kass, who has helped me a couple times now and has the most warm lovely energy. I can write an entire essay, but in short this is THE spot and I’m grateful it exists now in Miami. 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!

I first discovered Van Leeuwen a few years at Hudson Yards in Manhattan and loved it. I remember it was in a hot Labor Day weekend, and that ice cream was just what I needed for that hot afternoon. When I saw they opened a new location in Miami Beach, I drove over the MacArthur Causeway to South Beach just to taste it and see if they were still as good as I remembered. And yes, they are. I sampled a couple flavors, but I couldn’t leave without my pistachio. It is the real deal. The location itself is located at the heart of the touristic zone in Miami Beach, but don’t let that prevent you from tasting this. I also liked the service; it was super fast and friendly.

Legit the best ice cream ever. Great location. & Kass provided the best customer service. Not only to us but to everyone in line. You can tell she was really making people’s day. Definitely coming back

Best place to go for ice cream on Miami Beach! Lovely customer service, and even better ice cream flavours! Our server Lina was so friendly and helpful and definitely made us want to come back again! What a credit to Van Leeuwen Ice Cream! 🫶🏼

The BEST new icecream spot on miami beach. The waffle bowls are so flavorful and out of this world. The vegan options are absolutely incredible and do not taste vegan!! And do not get me started on robert. Robert you are a gem. We got ice cream here last night for the first time and had to come back the next day for more ♡

just opened in miami the New York City's chain with its French-style ice cream. Vegan flavors and ready-to-go pints are available, too.

Delicious ice cream. Friendly service. Fun, unique, and mouthwatering flavors. The “Brown Sugar Cookie Dough Brownie” might just be the best flavor to be honest.

Delicious ice cream. So many amazing flavors in was hard to choose. Plus, on Tuesdays your first topping is free. We will definitely be coming back.

I came by to the newly opened Van Leeuwen on a Sunday afternoon after lunch. The ice cream shop is located by 16th and Collins in Miami Beach. I've been a fan for a while - buying the pints at the grocery stores but hadn't gone to a shop despite seeing them in NYC. It was quite busy but staff was really kind and helpful, letting us try many different flavors. We went with two scoop - the Marion cheesecake and the cookie dough on a cone bowl. Both ice creams were delicious and there are tons of different flavors. Both dairy and non-dairy. They have milkshakes and other options. You can even take a pint home. I will say the cone was a little under baked but was still enjoyable. There's ample amount of seating inside and out. Definitely a great ice cream spot!

Wow! I loved everything about my visit. As soon as you walk in you're warmly greatly by the amazing and friendly staff. They said I could sample as many flavors as I'd like and of course I did, I tried just about every single flavor and I'd say I liked most. Take full advantage and try them all so you can decide yourself what you'd like. They have the following flavors from what I can remember: key lime pie, munberry cheesecake (I think that's the name), peanut butter (vegan and regular), vanilla, honeycomb, chocolate, strawberry, earl grey, jasmine with passion fruit, banana bread (vegan), pistachio, praline buttercream, cherry, and many more that I cannot recall now. I got a cone with 3 flavors because I truly love ice cream and their ice cream was truly creamy. I chose pistachio, praline buttercream, and vegan peanut butter. They have indoor and outdoor sitting. They also have a bathroom that you can use if you're a customer (not every place in Miami Beach has this). Overall a nice place to go alone or with friends or family. I loved my visit and would highly recommend them.

Van Leeuwen Ice Cream offers a range of ice cream and sundaes, focusing on high-quality ingredients and classic recipes. They are known for their French ice cream, made with twice the amount of egg yolks compared to standard ice cream, resulting in a rich and creamy texture. They also offer a wide variety of vegan options made with coconut, cashews, and oats, ensuring a treat for everyone. Their menu includes classic flavors like vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry alongside unique and creative options such as Earl Grey Tea, Honeycomb, and Sicilian Pistachio. For those looking for something more decadent, Van Leeuwen crafts a variety of sundaes featuring their ice cream flavors layered with delectable toppings and sauces. For example, the Caramel Cone Sundae features vanilla bean ice cream, salted caramel sauce, whipped cream, and crushed cone pieces. They've even partnered with local businesses to create special sundae collaborations, like the chocolate chip biscuit sundae with honeycomb ice cream, whipped cream, and caramel sauce offered with Bomb Biscuit Co.My family induced and got YUZU strawberry cheesecake, vegan cookies and cream caramel swirl with hot fudge! One got 3 flavors (goodest) brown sugar cookie dough brownie, v cookies and cream caramel swirl and vegan banana bread pudding with fudge cup; and one got two flavors (gooder) mint chip, chocolate fudge brownie cup with hot fudge! All so decadent and all so good!

This is the best ice cream I have ever had. I had the vegan banana flavor and the brownie fudge in a waffle cone, and the cone was made fresh (it was still warm!!). When I asked to sample a flavor, I was given a small metal spoon which I thought was so neat and environmentally friendly. The workers were very nice and efficient, and the store was so clean and aesthetically pleasing!

SUCH FUN FLAVORS! Lots of seating! Try the one with cornbread, you'll be so pleasantly surprised.

Definitely in the running for best ice cream. I tried the cookies and cream and brown sugar cookie dough. Both were *chef's kiss*. The cone was literally the most delicious waffle cone I've ever tasted. Ugh... my only complaint is they need to open a location in Northern California, so I can get my fix on the regular!!! 10/10 flavor and experience.
