Great place for a Summer ice cream shop! Service is usually pretty slow since there was only ever two people working and they have to go to the back to get more ice cream and other supplies so expect to stand in line for a while but they have such creative flavors that it's a fun place to try out! There's also a bunch of vegan flavors for people who are non-dairy. I tried the mango sticky rice and it was such a unique flavor that I'd never had before. There isn't much seating so you can take it to hang out on some of the benches around the corner
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!
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.
Van Leeuwen is back with another one And the newly opened location is located in Clarendon Virginia!!! They have so many delicious flavors and a new flavor to try for this fall My favorite is sweet potato marshmallow. So go give it a try!!
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.
Nice staff let us try several flavors. My friend is lactose intolerant and gluten free and they were helpful in giving her options to try out. The peanut butter honeycomb was a standout. Very good mix of the ingredients and flavors.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
Van Leeuwen Ice Cream has arrived in Arlington, VA aka National Landing. Known for their artisanal ice creams, you can get flavors that range from vanilla to the limited edition Hello Kitty ice cream made of white chocolate truffle. Never one to skip on ordering pistachio ice cream, I opted to order my dessert as a milkshake. And boy was it delicious.
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

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

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

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

Thank you for stopping in, Rachel!
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
