Van Leeuwen Ice Cream

Van Leeuwen Ice Cream was launched out of a buttery yellow ice cream truck in 2008 by Laura O'Neill and brothers Ben and Pete Van Leeuwen. The trio set out to revive the classic American ice cream truck, using exceptional ingredients and techniques. In just a decade, the beloved Brooklyn-based company has grown to include scoop shops and trucks across NYC and LA and sells pints in over 2000 stores across the country, including Whole Foods Market, Sprouts, Safeway, Kings, Wegmans, Bristol Farms and more. Their unwavering dedication to quality extends to each and every flavor; made with carefully sourced ingredients from purveyors whose standard for exceptional quality meets their own. In addition to classic ice cream, Van Leeuwen makes an acclaimed vegan ice cream using a proprietary blend of cashew, coconut and cocoa butter, which is every bit as delicious as their classic ice cream. Their latest innovation is Vegan Oat Milk Ice Cream and the 7-flavor line was an instant hit. Favorites in their lineup include Vegan Choc Chip Cookie Dough, Honeycomb, Oat Milk Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl, and Vegan Strawberry Cookie Crumble.
