Van Leeuwen is open! Van Leeuwen Ice Cream started in a yellow truck on the streets of NYC in 2008 with a mission to make good ice cream that makes you feel good. What could be happier than that magic combination of milk, cream, eggs, and cane sugar (or coconuts, cashews and oats for our vegan friends)? Van Leeuwen Ice Cream is made with simple ingredients and seeks to satisfy omnivores and vegans alike.
