So good and great service

The ice cream was delicious and there was a good verity of choices. The service was friendly and when my son accidentally dropped his ice cream the gave him a new scoop.

Tasty ice cream

Good selection of vegan options and they have little notes with the allergens next to the flavours.

We had churros and caramel and cookies and cream. Great texture, really thick and creamy. Lots of bits of cookie and churro in the mix.

The shop is quite narrow and not much seating, no toilet or hand washing which could’ve been nice.

Definitely a good spot for picking up an ice cream.

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Lots of bits in the ice cream

Cons: Designed for take away

Small but nice

Ice cream is never quite healthy--but if you're going to eat some, it should at least be tasty and vegan. Van Leeuwen features a number of vegan flavors, of which they proudly and prominently boast.

Pros: A bunch of vegan flavors, friendly service, a few places to sit (though mostly for takeout)

Amazing vegan ice cream!

This is definitely one of the best vegan ice cream options out there, and is the *only* place some of my vegan friends will go for ice cream.

Love the vegan options!

I love this ice cream chain and wish we had it where I live.

I had the vegan mint chip on a sugar cone (the waffle cones are not vegan). It was great.

I hope to get back for more ice cream before I head home.

Pros: Lots of vegan choices

Delicious ice cream, best ice cream in UWS

Perfect place for vegan ice cream lovers. The day before I visited Van Leeuwen for the first time but in UES and I couldn't stop thinking about Vegan Vanilla almond chip flavor with vegan whipped cream. Now it is my favorite spot on the Upper West Side. It is small and cozy as other Van Leeuwen locations. But there is something different about this one. I loved the gratitude journal from Grateful People. So know they have vegan ice cream, compostable spoons, and place where people can take express their gratitude not just towards ice cream😄Thumbs up for this little detail :-)

Pros: yummy ice cream, gratitute journal

Cons: little space, limited seating
