About

Van Leeuwen’s Nolita counter has a separate, regularly praised selection of vegan ice cream, including flavors such as strawberry shortcake, Planet Earth, and cookies and cream. It’s a pricey, mostly grab-and-go stop with quick service and samples; reviewers note limited or no indoor seating, though one recent visit mentions chairs.
