This is one of probably a dozen Van Leeuwen locations in Manhattan. Back in the day I used to follow the original Van Leeuwen ice cream truck when it was a single truck parked on the corner of Astor Place in East Village on certain days and in Brooklyn on others. When I first tried their earl grey and hazelnut flavors, I knew they were on to something. From then on whenever I was in the area and it was more than 50 degrees out I'd look forward to grabbing a sweet creamy treat. When friends visited I would take them to the truck, their eyes would light up when trying that earl grey. Their flavors were both traditional and novel. As they expanded I excitedly saw the number of trucks increase and soon they had stand alone stores, were being stocked at Whole Foods, then smaller bodegas, then even Target! Fast forward to now their ice cream is carried in grocery stores nationwide. I still love their earl grey. Their prices have gone up like everything else, but their flavors are still terrific. Love their vegan options too they taste very much like real ice cream, and it's cool that they have so many flavors. Not sure that the quality control is a good as when they were just a few trucks, inevitably the texture is harder to control when you're packing and shipping to so many retailers. read more

Pros: The honeycomb ice cream was not too bad. It's on the sweeter side and has a little texture when you bite into it. They offer a variety of flavor & even let you sample a few before choosing. Cons: The indoor seating is limited, and the space is relatively small, making it more of a quick grab-and-go spot. This location also does not have a restroom. read more

I came here after lunch and had high expectations and they were met. They had a solid menu with some intriguing flavors (a lot sold out) and a handful of vegan options too. I got the Earl Grey and the Dark Chocolate Brownie. The texture was soft, but creamy and thick, not too icy which I appreciated. The chocolate was good (generic) but the Earl Grey? PHENOMENAL. This alone was worth 5-stars. So flavorful and I would be able to tell what it was blind folded if I was. Service was friendly and quick. Place is card only, so just be aware. Very clean place and lots of sitting. Would come back. read more

To be honest, I thought their signature flavor honeycomb sounded lame, but I was wrong! I ended up ordering it. They have some interesting flavors aside from the classics, like mango sticky rice, which I almost got. Super tiny spot with about 4 stools at a counter to eat at. The music was terrible, but I am "old," LOL. Catering to teens and young 20 somethings. Don't you know old people have the money, not these young broke people? Please change the music. read more

The ice cream flavors are amazing. They even have vegan choices. Can't go wrong with the fan faves if you are not sure. At three scoops, you're looking at $11. HAHA.

Creamy and addictive ice cream is found here! It's a bit expensive just for a single scoop, but the quality is top-notch! The early grey is so creamy! Albeit a bit heavy, the flavor is very smooth and buttery on the tongue. The sweetness is not too overpowering; while sweet, the more bitter tea flavor contrasts nicely with the creamy flavor. The line looks long, but moves quite quickly. read more

Super flavorful and rich ice cream! I got the honeycomb, which is always a great choice. I love the crunchy bits of honeycomb mixed into the sweet vanilla. I also tried the Double Chocolate Fudge Brownie, which is a must for any chocolate lovers. It's so rich and sweet, probably one of my favorite chocolate ice creams out there. I liked the hot fudge they have too because it's very thick and rich, not like other hot fudges that are more liquidy. The shop is very small with limited seating. The guy scooping the ice cream was nice. They have so many other flavors to try! read more

Service: Quick and they had 2 folks on which helped speed things along as we had a group of 5 Ambiance: Cozy and small but they have some bar stool sitting options by the windows and was pretty well kept and had music on. We came as a much needed stop in excursions throughout the day in NYC and wanted a nighttime treat- while considering the vegan in the group. This place had in depth flavor cominarions with textures mixed in like crunch and salty for the butter cake for example. It wasn't too pricey and definetly a shareable portion even for a small! read more

I love that they have new flavors every so often! Tried the following seasonal specials: - Blue Jasmin Tea: Subtle but distinct jasmine fragrance. SUPER smooth and creamy. My fav out of the three. Highly recommend if you like your ice cream pure and simple but not pedestrian. - Blood Orange Creamsicle: More on the tarty side. The texture was a mix of creamy and gooey. - Vegan Yuzu Sake: Had high hopes for this one given the interesting combination. While it was good - you can certainly taste the yuzu and sake flavors, I have to say that vegan ice cream is just not as good as regular ice cream based on my personal preference for creamy texture. It was a lot icier than the previous two. Nevertheless, the flavors were great. read more

Van Leeuwen is really starting an aggressive expansion plan, and I'm here for it. This prime location on 30th and 3rd is perfect for people coming out of the nearby Kips Bay theater or for a post-dinner snack. The narrow little shop doesn't leave much room to stand around in and on opening day there was a line that snaked down the block. I'm very fond of their honeycomb flavor and have always appreciated their vegan selections. Everything I've had here is delicious! They're pushing the oat milk flavors pretty hard, and so I had to sample the oat milk chocolate chunk and oat milk masala chai. Both were super tasty, but I went for the blueberry pie summer flavor. I'm really into texture in my ice cream, and was glad they did not skimp on the pie pieces. I'll definitely be going back for the toasted coconut blondie or one of their sundaes. This summer is shaping up to include a lot of ice cream in my future. read more

This gelateria I…read morecan't believe it took me so long to discover it. Located in New York, small quiet spot, you can't wait inside, it a take out thing, I don't care! Their gelato is delicious and so rich! I was so happy!

Tiny, clean desert place. No bathrooms for customers…read more Staff are accommodating. Don't be afraid to try to sample the gelatos. Sample them all until you choose the flavor you like. There are different types of cold treats: gelatos and more slushie like consistency frozen confections that are served in a cup. My vegan friend appreciated that he could choose from multiple vegan flavors, not just be limited to the one and only offering, which is what most places usually have. Melon flavor was incredible. Tasted like frozen melon was crushed with ice and chopped into an ice/smoothie blend. Super refreshing. Very sweet, though. All flavors are very sweet, so a small portion can be shared and you will feel satisfied. I personally enjoyed their in-house special flavor of gelato: honey cream with crushed almonds, pistachios, and hazelnuts. That was bombastic! Love how nutty the consistency was. I love nuts, so this almost reminded me of a chunky peanut butter situation: just more fine grained and smooth, with gelato being the base. Highly recommend trying this flavor! Focacia was okay. A bit too dry and bland for my liking, but still decent. My favorite item was the pistachio bombolone which is officially now my favorite dessert. This was magnificent! The yeasty dough was so light and airy--perfectly light and balanced. The filling of pistachio cream was very delicate and not sweet at all, which was such a nice surprise. I do not like saccharine dessert. The fresh raspberry jam was a perfect balance to the pistachio cream. I never like jams in my desserts, but this was a perfect complement. Woooow, what a treat! Can't wait to return for it and to try more of their other flavors--hazelnut & chocolate, coconut, white chocolate, tiramisu. You could taste the superb quality of the ingredients. Highly recommend.

It came out as a thick piece of deep-fried toast topped with ice cream, boba, caramel popcorn, and strawberries on the side. Not healthy at all, but really good. It's one of those desserts you probably wouldn't get every day, but worth trying at least once. Fun to share and definitely something different from the usual desserts.

Usually when I learn that something is pricey and hyped up it fails to deliver. When I found out…read morethe cheesecake at Grace St was $15 almost 2-3 times the cost of cheesecake from places like Veniero's or Eileen's (which in my opinion are top tier cheesecakes) I was a bit skeptical about Grace Street and their cheesecake. Anyway, I ordered the matcha cheesecake to go. The place itself was rather busy but the to go service was fairly quick. The matcha cheesecake was very good and very unique. It was fairly dense as compared to the cheesecakes I mentioned, which is think is why it's more pricey. I would go back to dine in and try their other cheesecakes.

The ice creams with stronger liquors (whiskey, rum) definitely pack a smokey punch. I personally ordered the Tennessee Creme Brulee and thought it was a 5/5. On a rainy Sunday at 8PM, all of the seats were taken-- though people do shuffle in & out very fast. The ambiance is that of a real upscale bar. Service was super friendly and professional as well! Will definitely come back here every time I visit the city. :)

I like that they have the classics but also unexpected twists like black sesame, Thai tea, strawberry matcha etc. The texture is creamy and soft and there's two cone options to choose from. I usually get a cup with 2 flavors with a cone on top - always a hit. The sales associates let you try samples and I always appreciate that. TBH it's hard to make a choice here because there are so many good flavors! This time I did black sesame and tiramisu. The black sesame was such a bold flavor I'm a fan! Tiramisu tasted boozy with chunks of lady finger cookies inside - also delicious!

In the mood for gelato so good it ruins all other gelato for you?…read more Amorino Gelato in NYC is easily one of my favs! I was just walking by when they were handing out samples, took one bite, and immediately turned around to buy a full serving. It was THAT good. In fact, I went back the very next day... no regrets. Ambiance is cozy and open. Every scoop felt like a little moment, smooth, rich, and packed with flavor. But let me be clear: the blueberry cheesecake??? Elite. Unmatched. I will absolutely die on that hill. If you're anywhere nearby, stop in. Seriously, you won't be sorry.

Ever since I started visiting New York City every couple of months, I've made it an unofficial…read moretradition to treat myself to dessert at Amorino Gelato. There's just something special about their gelato--especially when topped with that rich pistachio sauce. On a previous visit to their Times Square location, I had one of their more decadent creations: gelato with waffle sticks and pistachio sauce. It was absolutely heavenly and incredibly delicious. This time, I didn't have room for something quite as indulgent, but I still wanted something sweet after dinner at La Basque. The closest Amorino was in Greenwich Village, just a 10-minute walk away. That walk alone is always a treat--Greenwich Village is charming, pedestrian-friendly, and full of outdoor dining and energy, especially on a September Saturday afternoon. I grabbed my gelato to-go and chose the amarena and hazelnut flavors, topped with the signature pistachio sauce. They poured the sauce at the bottom of the cup, and it hardened slightly to create a delicious shell underneath the gelato. I enjoyed it while walking through the Village, soaking in the late-summer atmosphere of the city with gelato in hand. Simple, sweet, and exactly what I needed.

We also got the dark chocolate and it tasted like 70% dark. It was a true dark chocolate. They had so many spots to sit and eat, the weather was perfect and the line went fast. There were 15 people ahead of us and it took only 10 minutes. There were plenty of people working and helping, restocking and checking out. The parlor was adorable, everything was spotless and they had a restroom. This didn't feel like a New York experience where you have to eat standing up and you have to walk two blocks for the nearest public restroom. I felt comfortable with the street blocked off. It was a lovely stroll. I love this neighborhood!!!! Highly recommend a hop over to Anita's when you are done with lunch or dinner!
