Van Leeuwen Ice Cream West Village

Test the vegan dark chocolate pumpkin special. it's delicious!

They have a variety of choices for us vegans. i had two scoops of the vegan cookie dough (all of their vegan flavors are made with cashew milk) and came back for two chocolate scoops later that day. the staff was very kind and friendly. everything about the service and the food was great, though this location did not have much space for seating.

This summer I've been informally trying all the vegan ice cream spots in Manhattan. So far, THIS is the best I've found (I all their shops trucks offer similar quality . They had several vegan options AND chocolate sauce. I had mint chocolate chip with vegan chocolate sauce (hey, why not? and it was terrific; much better than others I have tried. The texture was rich and creamy, very much like traditional ice cream. The taste was also spot on with no overpowering taste of cocconut or other non-dairy milk. Van Leeuwen is my new go-to place for vegan ice cream!

Love Van Leeuwen, they actually have vegan ice-cream most are made from nuts so if you are allergic than its probably not for you, otherwise it is delicious I love I can have ice cream without the dairy! If you have friends who are into dairy they have those too but I recommend you give them a taste of yours, they won't regret it! Go Now!

Let me start off my review by stating that Van Leeuwun is not an entirely vegan establishment. About half of the daily flavors are vegan friendly and clearly labeled so on the menu. The staff is very friendly and was more then happy to let me sample pretty much all of the vegan ice cream flavors they offered. Van Leeuwun gets HUGE points for creating innovative and exciting vegan ice cream flavors. I have to say I was pretty sick of constantly getting the same boring flavors at all of my usual places. I ended up getting green tea and chocolate rum doughnut flavored ice cream both were extremely creamy and delicious. I can honestly say they have some of the best vegan ice cream I've ever tried! I will definitely come back and try more flavors!
