I’ve ordered ice cream from Van Leeuwen through DoorDash twice since landing in New York, and both experiences have been excellent. The portions were generous, the ice cream arrived in great condition, and every flavor I’ve tried has been delicious. It’s clear they don’t skimp on quality or quantity. The staff has consistently gotten the orders right, and the ice cream is rich, creamy, and full of flavor. I’ll definitely keep ordering whenever I’m in New York. Highly recommended!
We really enjoyed this café! The ice cream was absolutely amazing - rich flavors, creamy texture, and a great variety to choose from. A special thanks to the guy at the counter - he was super sweet and friendly, helping us pick the best flavors. The only downside was that it was a bit chilly inside, so we couldn't stay long or try more. Still, we'll definitely come back!
One of my favorite spots for ice cream in the city is Van Leeuwen at 258 W 16th St. I’m especially obsessed with their chocolate ice cream with honey roasted almonds — such a perfect combo. They’ve got tons of flavors to try, awesome milkshakes, and options to take home too. Always a treat stopping by here!
