Van Leeuwen is a cozy ice cream parlor with a rotating selection of small-batch, gourmet flavors that include a variety of creamy vegan options based on cashew and coconut. Portions are generous, and outside seating is available along a lively West Village street, though the shop is small and often busy, especially on warm days. Reviews praise its seasonal flavors like vegan pumpkin cheesecake and dark chocolate specials, with some noting occasional staff service inconsistency.
