    Brown Sugar Cookie Dough Brownie
    Jamila F.

    Super cute ice cream I think they also had cookies, but I specifically came for the ice cream. So many flavor options, they allowed me to try as many as I like I settled on the brown sugar cookie dough, brownie ice cream. The staff was very friendly.

    While out and about exploring the NORA District in West Palm Beach I found this adorable ice cream shop. I had heard of Van Leeuwen but was not that familiar with the company. It turns out they have been around for quite awhile. Van Leeuwen Ice Cream was founded in 2008 in New York City by brothers Ben and Pete Van Leeuwen and Laura O'Neill,. The trio started their business with a yellow food truck that served artisanal, high-quality ice cream. They gained popularity with their simple, premium ingredients and creative signature and seasonal flavors and have now expanded to grocery store distribution and over 70 shops nationwide. Van Leeuwen had a wide variety of flavors to choose from including Espresso Fudge Brownie, Peppermint Stick, Pumpkin Cheesecake, Cinnamon Caramel Apple, Cookies and Cream, Earl Gray Tea, Big Face Affrogato, Sicilian Pistachio, Marionberry Cheesecake, and Praline Butter Cake, along with your more classic choices like Strawberry, Chocolate, and Vanilla, There were also nine vegan choices that included banana bread pudding, strawberry matcha, and strawberry shortcake. You can top your ice cream with sprinkles, syrups, and sauces and eat it in cones and cups. Everything looked delicious and after a few taste tests and consultation with the friendly employee I finally decided to indulge in a waffle cone of Espresso Fudge Brownie which I was told was one of their most popular flavors, topped with a scoop of honey comb, a hard to find favorite. It was the perfect pairing and I loved it down to the last lick. You can also take their ice cream home in pints. From what I tasted, this ice cream is top notch. I think I found a new favorite spot.

    I understand the location, the crowd, the "luxury"... but still, almost $26 for three scoops of ice cream felt excessive. The place is small and was clean, but nothing special -- very simple. The service, honestly, didn't impress me. It felt cold and not very friendly. Polite, but not warm at all. The ice cream itself has a fairly limited selection of flavors. It was okay, but for the price we paid, I expected much more -- especially considering the area it's located in. Overall, I believe there are better places to get ice cream at a more reasonable price.

    Today we explored the newly developed NORA district of West Palm Beach (North of Railroad Ave). Many businesses & restaurants in this area are still being built out and have not opened yet, but I literally squealed with excitement when I saw the Van Leeuwen shop. This is one of my favorite brands of ice cream, but I've never actually been to one of their scoop shops before. The interior is super cute -- all pink & yellow with a few seats and additional seating outside. You're able to sample any flavors you'd like and I was surprised to see how many vegan options they have. I tried the key lime pie & praline butter cake flavors which were both amazing, but ultimately I went with tried & true favorite -- honeycomb. It's just so rich, creamy and delicious. I just wanted one scoop which I shared with my toddler and he also approved. I'm sure this will be a hotspot as more businesses continue to open in the area!

    I recently visited the NORA district and stopped by a cozy ice cream shop called Van Leeuwen. They offer a wide variety of flavors, all of which tasted incredibly fresh and creamy. I sampled the Matcha Strawberry Latte flavor, and it instantly became one of my favorites the balance between the matcha and strawberry was absolutely perfect. The staff were friendly and helpful, offering additional samples that made choosing even harder. After some thought, I decided on the Honeycomb flavor. Despite its name, it doesn't actually contain honey; instead, it features a creamy coconut blend that was surprisingly amazing. They also offer vegan ice cream options, which were impressively delicious. Overall, Van Leeuwen has definitely become one of my go-to ice cream shops. I love the flavors and the experience, and I'll definitely be back.

    Italian Hazelnut changed my life! Adorable pink themed ice cream shop in downtown Delray. Lots of flavors and toppings options with free samples to help you decide. They even make their waffle cones in house.

    We stopped by 16 Handles on the Fourth of July just after 9:00 p.m., and it was such a great first…read moreexperience! The three young men working were all so friendly and had such positive attitudes, especially considering they were working on a holiday. They were welcoming and made sure we knew we could sample any of the flavors. We loved that they had dairy free and vegan options, and the topping selection was incredible. Everything was fresh, especially the whipped cream, which was so good! The topping bar was spotless, and the entire store was very clean and well maintained. The frozen yogurt was delicious, and we'll definitely be back! We enjoyed it all so much that we had eaten most of it before we realized we forgot to take pictures, so we're definitely going to have to take them next time we're there.

    My daughter was craving ice cream and I've always driven past. This used to be a taco stand called…read moreLa Placita and it was surely missed but glad it became a frozen yogurt place and not an empty space. They have indoor and outdoor seating with a patio on the side. Cute place to hang out at night. Loved the variety of flavors. My daughter made her own Neapolitan frozen yogurt and I decided to get the original tart since I miss the frozen Greek yogurt in Miami. It's pretty comparable except a bit icier and not as creamy but still satisfies that craving. Will have to come back when we are in the area.
