This is a very popular spot for ice cream, especially because they're open late. On my last visit, I got the Mango Sticky Rice ice cream, which I really enjoyed. The person serving me was very friendly and let me sample several flavors so I could find one I liked. My only real con with Van Leeuwen is that I find the flavors can be a bit hit or miss. If it's busy, it can sometimes take a while to settle on a flavor, especially since they frequently rotate in seasonal offerings. Overall, this location was nice, clean, and well-maintained. I would definitely visit again. read more

The cutest place and yummiest ice cream in the area! After sampling a few flavors we decided on some great choices! The waffle cones have a hint of cinnamon and they're made fresh, the ice cream was perfectly made and the flavor options are plentiful! read more

I love this location. It's super close to a bunch of dinner spots in the area and it's easy to get here during a quick after-dinner stroll. I usually come here with friends to check for new flavors or to share a scoop or two. We got a 3- scoop cup this time for $10 since we wanted to taste 3 flavors. We got the coffee affogato, the dark chocolate fudge brownie, and the cookies and crème flavors. I liked the chocolate flavor the most but would honestly go back for any of them. They have gender neutral restroom as well that's locked with a code but the cashier is super quick to give you the code. I also like that they have ample seating for a small ice cream shop, much better seating than the cold stone down the street. I'll come back to try more flavors read more

A good variety of vegan/non dairy options here! Ice cream is consistently good. Any flavor, you can't go wrong. The waffle cones are delicious too-- not super thick or sweet! read more

Lots of flavors to choose from. The staff was super friendly, especially to my kids. She kept offering my kids samples and said it's unlimited samples. My kids were excited but had their choice picked out really quickly. The store did start getting packed after we arrived. Everyone seemed to enjoy their sweets. Aside from the friendly service, I did not feel like the store was exceptional. The tables were pretty dirty. I had to wipe it down myself. read more

This location gets the job done. I have never been here when there has been a line. The most annoying thing about this location is that their parking situation can be very challenging. Also, I've been here a couple times and had to provide very clear instructions around how my shake should be made. On two different occasions, it was made so milky that it didn't even taste like the damn black cherry chip ice cream that I love. Other than that, it's your standard Van Leeuwen. I do think it's one of the more spacious locations in the area. It's definitely bigger than the Clarendon, Union Market, and Southeast locations. read more

There are many locally owned ice cream shops in D.C. and this one is from NYC, but it's still a worthy stop. Their ice cream punches with flavor, especially the Honeycomb one. In my opinion, their basic sundae is the best in the city. Pick Honeycomb and they add whipped cream, sprinkles, and dark chocolate fudge. There's a little area to sit and restrooms in the back. read more

Stopped in here for a little sweet tooth after getting a coffee. Valentine's Day and everyone was out to dinner so we had the place to ourselves! Very quiet and happy. Wahooo! Staff were friendly and sweet. We got our ice cream (2 scoop each, him honeycomb, me honeycomb and coffee affogato). We sat down and happily ate our ice cream, which was the first ice cream we've had since our last visit! So well worth the wait and delicious. I could eat the entire case of honeycomb if I could. read more

I love, love Van Leeuwen ice cream because their basic flavors (like earl grey) are solid and they have so many unique seasonal flavors that are worth trying. And it's so creamy and smooth?? However, the pricing for just a single scoop is actually crazy, which is why I give it a 4/5. I walk by this Van Leeuwen location pretty often, but it was their eye-catching pastel-themed sidewalk stand that got my attention. And one of their current seasonal flavor was blue jasmine passion fruit swirl, which sounded like such an innovative and delicious combination? Despite knowing I was about to pay $8 per scoop, I walked in. SINGLE SCOOP - 7.45 On its own, the blue jasmine would have been so uninspiring. The jasmine is floral and fragrant, and the butterfly pea flower adds a subtle earthiness. It's light and elegant, but definitely wouldn't be an exceptional ice cream flavor. The passion fruit swirl spices and elevates the entire flavor profile. It's tangy and juicy. It's bold and sweet. It adds so much depth and mixed wonderfully with the subtle flavors of blue jasmine. Such a wild flavor. I ended up going twice this past weekend. I dropped $16.38 on two scoops of blue jasmine passion fruit swirl. It's fine. read more

This little stop put my family on a trajectory that made them obsessed with Van Leeuwen. Let me set the stage. We were here visiting from California, and the Crystal City shop was down the street from where we were staying. The ice cream was so good we were excited to see another location in Brooklyn and of course had to try it there. And then we saw that grocery stores in California carry Van Leeuwen so now we've had a few ice cream runs. All that being said, I'm kind of the "Van Leeuwen is fine but I'm not sure it's the end all be all" black sheep of the family. They're definitely more into Van Leeuwen than me. Here are my notes: "I have to say the samples I tried didn't blow me away." (Sorry, family.) "The chocolate ice cream was quite good. The son liked his peanut butter honeycomb fudge ice cream. The daughter liked her corn and blueberry jam ice cream." read more

This Van Leeuwen is located in the National Landing area, and super convenient to get to if you're a resident here. They offer a nice selection of ice cream and vegan ice cream, in addition to the pints that you could purchase. Note that the menu that they post online does not list all the flavors that you may find in the actual store, as we saw some additional ones when we went. There are single, double, and triple scoops, and even milkshake options. We tried: +Bigface Coffee Affogato +Lemon Poppy Seed Muffin +Brown Sugar Cookie Dough Brownie +Cookies & Cream +Praline Butter Cake +Sicilian Pistachio +Blueberry Jelly Donut +Sour Cherry Creamsicle My favorites have been the Brown Sugar Cookie Dough Brownie and the Bigface Coffee Affogato. Avoid the milkshakes, as they are super thin and watery; better to just stick with the scoops. The staff are friendly, but depending who's on shift, you may get a 'generous scooper' or one that kind of falls flat and doesn't really fill the cup. There are seating available inside, and metered parking in the area. +may have additional flavors +friendly service read more

Lots of flavors with custard style ice cream. You can try the flavors and we decided on pistachio. It has good pistachio flavor but the sweetness was a bit overpowering. Also tried the Italian hazelnut and there are whole hazelnuts inside which made it very hard to chew. I'm not the biggest fan of the custard texture as it has more egg yolk than regular ice cream so it felt too slick. Would be good if you like very creamy textured ice cream! read more

Have not eaten in store, but the ice cream pints in the freezer are delicious. Had the gray and the strawberry Matcha both were perfect for some TV series and ice cream time read more

The wind was howling, my face was numb, and the air had that unforgiving bite of a cold day in the Northeast. Naturally, I decided this was the perfect moment for ice cream. Because sometimes, life is about making questionable decisions in pursuit of simple joys. Van Leeuwen didn't disappoint. I ordered a scoop of strawberry matcha with cookies and cream--an unlikely combination that worked brilliantly. The strawberry matcha was light and earthy, while the cookies and cream added just the right amount of rich sweetness. Together, they balanced each other perfectly, like a well-thought-out dessert duet. Staff was nice and friendly too Would I recommend it? Absolutely. The ice cream delivers on flavor and quality, reminding you why indulgence is always worth it. Even on the coldest days, a great taste can warm you up in unexpected ways. read more

This place was super cute bright and fun for summer evening to grab a sweet treat. The milkshakes were amazing. The ice cream were a tad bit small for scoop size but got the job done needing something to eat. The staff was super kind and very funny and made our experience! The pricing is a little steep, but I also feel like you're paying for the brand the aesthetic and also because where they are located it isn't other ice cream shops around that can match the taste, flavor options, and ambience. read more

My colleague and I were crazing a cold dessert and found this place nearby our Hilton hotel. It's walkable and has plenty of seats if you want to dine in. The selections are very unique and plentiful. Almost all of their selections were on the sweet to very sweet side. The service was friendly, but there was only one staff member when we visited after dinner on a weeknight, and our wait was longer than normal. We were given opportunities for samples, and that helped us narrow down what flavor we wanted. The ice cream shop is bright and roomy, but a little difficult to find when using Apple Maps directions, read more

I stopped here with my niece and sister after dinner which we all probably should have not. But, who can refuse eating ice cream. In addition, I had never tasted this brand before. No, I'm not in the dark ages. However, I'm further enlightened to the brand now. Nevertheless, I decided on trying something from the vegan ice cream selection which is totally untypical for me. I was surprised with how yummy, smooth, and incredibly flavorful it was. All the staff were so helpful and encouraged sampling of the different flavors of interest. So, I sought to broaden my taste palate and I had the Banana Bread Pudding W/ Fudge. It brought back to when my mother used to cook banana bread pudding in my younger days. If you're in the area please stop by; it's worth the trip. read more

I've heard about Van Leeuwen ice cream and how the store front offers a variety of vegan options. Since I was nearby, I decided to give it a try. Employees were very friendly, helpful, and excited to interact which was great! I opted to try the vegan cookies and cream caramel swirl (amazing) and the vegan banana bread pudding (good). I've always been a huge fan of caramel so of course vegan cookies and cream caramel swirl was a favorite. What I liked about the vegan banana bread pudding were the little chunks of bread pudding in the ice cream but that's about it. Not a bad ice cream at all it just didn't meet my expectations and definitely comparing it to the cookies and cream, it was hard to beat! I plan to visit again to try the other vegan flavors. The shop is a nice size (enough room that it doesn't feel claustrophobic even on a crowded day) and has indoor and outdoor seating to enjoy your ice cream. 5/5 read more

The ice cream is great, the staff-not so friendly. The hours on here are wrong so when I went at 11:30am today to get ice cream, a young woman there just ignored me when I knocked on the door. I continued to knock and she continued to ignore me. The hours are not posted anywhere so it wasn't until I did further research that I saw the hours listed on here were wrong. Regardless, please hire friendlier staff.l and update your hours on here. There's just no need to be rude. read more

Ordered a scoop of vegan ice cream and unfortunately when I got to the bottom of the cup I saw a hair (keep in mind I didn't mix the ice cream at all, so this must have been in the actual tube of ice cream.) The prices are already steep ($8 for one scoop) but this solidified that I will not be back. read more

I've been here twice now and both times have had a great experience! The staff is efficient, the decor inside is bright and fun, and the ice cream is delicious! I love how many different flavors there are and they have a surprising variety of vegan/dairy free ice cream flavors as well! I had a scoop of the peanut butter brownie honeycomb ice cream and did not regret my choice! The ice cream was so creamy, and the brownie chunks were fudgy with a nice crunch coming from the honeycomb. I love the unique selection of flavors and that they also have the staples like chocolate, vanilla and cookies & cream. Their scoop sizes are actually pretty decent which is good because of the price you're paying. Also, this location is kind of off the beaten path so it's never super packed which is nice, and there are nice seating options against the bright-colored walls. Oh, and one of my favorite parts of this shop is the heavenly smell of waffle cones that envelops you as you walk in. read more

Best ice cream in Crystal City! 1 minute walk from the Crystal City Metro and from the Water Bar area. Nice new storefront just opened. The teams being trained are friendly and happy. Not too loud or crowded when I went. A couple of small tables inside make it a great place to take a quick break on the way home from the metro. Not cheap, but the quality of everything was great. read more

Van Leeuwen - V Banana Bread Pudding w/ Fudge Swirls and Brown Sugar Cookie Dough Chunk - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I literally just left the store maybe 10 minutes ago and my ice cream was icy. If you know what I mean it's some ice particles and so it took away from the flavor of the ice cream as I ate it as it was over frozen or melted and had refrozen. I had Banana Bread Pudding w/ Fudge Swirls and carrot cake ice cream. I threw away half of it. I reluctantly tried to keep eating it so I won't make a fuss because my son doesn't like when I make a fuss. He did Thoroughly enjoy his ice cream. He had mint chocolate chip, and cookies and cream with brownies. His cup was fuller of ice cream too. I'm really disappointed when there are so many new ice cream places to try so I will not return . read more
