    This was a great hidden gem to find in the area!! I was looking for new shops, mainly cause I love ice cream but also other things caught my eye here! First and foremost, the shop is so cute and the gelato is delicious. The employee was great at explaining things to us and letting us sample multiple flavors. I ordered classic with toasted coconut and lizard cherry stracc. Was an amazing combo and the extra crisp and puff was delicious! They also have a small order of the puffs (Zeppole) on their own and they were amazing. My partner ordered the Madagascar vanilla and it was equally delicious. The best part of this place is that it is a chain of Rossa establishments. Connected to it is a speak easy that is accessible through a hidden sliding door on one end of the restaurant as well as a small outside door. It was closed on my visit but will be sure to visit. Same for the extra restaurant next door that smelled amazing from outside. All in all an amazing shop and will definitely be revisiting!

    I came here last weekend for gelato in the late afternoon with only two other cars in the absolutely tiny parking lot and by the time we ordered and sat outside with our gelato, the lot was full and people were parking at the building next door (not sure if that's allowed or not). I tried the stracciatella with cherry (didn't have much cherry flavor) and I ended up getting the espresso gelato (one of my go to flavors) and it was one of the best ones I've tried in Houston. It was super strong, had espresso powder bits in it, and came with a cone chip and fried dough ball, which was a nice touch. They don't take cash which was kind of annoying and there's few seating there as it was a small space (indoor/outdoor). Would definitely come back!

    I absolutely love this place. I had just tried it for the first time since I was craving it and this place did not disappoint. It was soo good and it was cute interior, like an old time ice cream shop. We also spent a lot of time talking with the worker, they were both really personable and they made the whole experience so welcoming. I would absolutely go again, or even to the other connecting buildings. The shop is connected to a speakeasy and a italian restaurant that all three are under the same ownership. Definitely a good date night spot!

    Aesthetically pleasing. Good service. Great gelato! The cookie it comes with is very tasty too. 5 of us tried 5 different flavors and were all happy.

    The ladies are so nice and take their time with you. You can try all the flavors, if you would like. Perfect for this heat in Houston! I was told it is pretty similar to the gelato in Italy!

    High quality authentic gelato. Good if you appreciate decent ice cream. Fairly expensive.

    I scarfed this down so fast, the Hojicha ice cream was amazing; creamy, just the right amount of…read moresweetness & I could taste the roasted tea flavor! Since Van Leeuwen is in Rice Village, parking can be a little tough, but I managed to snag a spot on the street, which is free for about 2 hours! Seating is also limited, so this is more of a to-go establishment. While there is outdoor seating nearby, in this Houston seat, I wouldn't even think twice about doing that. I believe buying the pints is cheaper, but $7-$8 for a singular scoop was criminal... You can definitely get more value for your money with 2-3 scoops, but I wasn't feeling too glutinous the day I visited.

    This ice cream shop is located in Rice Village on Amherst where there's a row of metered parking…read moreright in front of the shop, but also complimentary 2-hour rooftop garage parking just above. The shop has a simple layout with only three small tables and a restroom down the left hallway. On a weekday afternoon, there weren't a lot of customers and only a few individuals came and went as we were enjoying our ice cream inside. The staff were enthusiastic and greeted us upon entrance and offered samples on any of their ice creams. They have many classic flavors as well as unique ones, which were tempting to get. There were a few flavors that sounded really good, but were too light on the bold flavor the ice cream was trying to show (for example, the big face coffee affogato and the mango sticky rice). Since Van Leeuwen Ice Cream stemmed from NYC and is known for its rich, velvety texture and double-egg based dairy ice cream, I expected more. However, the praline butter cake and earl grey tea flavors were tasty and enticing, though I settled for their strawberry matcha. That strawberry flavor was natural tasting and slightly tart yet sweet, while the matcha was creamy yet a bit earthy... a well balanced scoop! The sugar cone was nice and crispy and not overwhelmingly sweet. We dressed the praline butter cake scoop in a cup with a salted caramel drizzle, which was indulgent. The salted caramel drizzle was a bit overpowering the ice cream, but still a good combination. The menu is structured to serve ice cream by the single scoop ($6.95), double scoop ($8.25), or triple scoop ($9.25), so the more you get the better bang for your buck. It seems like a fancier ice cream experience overall as the prices are more than the typical shop around. Additionally, the ice cream can be served in a cup or a cone if you prefer, with sugar cones complimentary, but waffle cones come with a charge. There are 10+ vegan ice creams in store for those who would like dairy-free alternatives and a plethora of toppings like sauces, crumbles, and drizzles. There are also sundaes on their menu which are perfect for sharing or fine for oneself (if you please). I would say Van Leeuwen has some attractive flavors and good quality ice creams I'd love to come back for sometime. Note: If you're a health care worker and show the staff your badge upon checkout, there's a discount. Plus, on Tuesdays, the first topping is free.

    My best friend got me chocolate from this establishment and had them mailed to me in Florida…read more Imagine my excitement when I opened up this beauty. The presentation and beautiful box it came in with the different levels to the chocolate itself was unlike anything I have ever seen. They each beautifully decorated like gems and tasted unique with spices like cardamom and saffron. I like that they include a description of each chocolate so you know what you are tasting. Since I told them I would be traveling from Houston to Florida, they packaged my box carefully to ensure it stayed safe and in tack. I've made recommendations to a few of my family members who have ordered from them. I like that they have vegan options as well. Nothing beats going to the store but if you can't, their website is easily accessible. I think it's time to order since my birthday was a few days ago. A gift to myself.

She embraces both South Asian flavors as well as others I believe she discovers and learns about. The chocolate is 10/10. The dark chocolate mocha latte is, dare I say, one of the best in Houston. They are pretty inclusive of a range of holidays and their holiday collections are too cute. There is even limited seating in their whimsical yet elegant shop.
