Van Leeuwen Ice Cream - Union Market

Shelby was super accommodating and welcoming! He let my guest and try a myriad of flavors which were all amazingly delicious! My fav has to be the praline butter cake, omg if you haven't tried it-you're missing out on life! Literally!There's so many vegan flavors too like the strawberry shortcake?! What's crazy is you can't tell it's vegan! Full of flavor!The store was very cutesy and clean! Definitely will visit again.

The ambiance was great and the location was clean. I sampled two flavors before deciding on the vegan cookies and cream flavor. The staff member was very helpful and knowledgeable when I was trying to decide which to choose because there were number of options. After narrowing down my choices to two, he provided the two samples without hesitation. The ice cream was very good with lots of flavor. Honeycomb is one of my favorite flavors from the brand, but it would be great if they had a vegan option. I think two cups of ice cream was almost $19, so it was not the cheapest of options, but it was a nice treat full of outstanding flavor and quality ingredients. Next to Jeni's, this is one of my favorite ice cream brands. They had indoor seating, but we decided to sit outside in front of the shop. I would definitely return to try something different.

I unexpectedly stumbled across this spot on a nice ride through DC. I had a craving for ice cream and Google lead me here. I never heard of this business prior to my arrival. This was some of the best ice cream I had in a while (very indulgent and delicious). The smallest portion size was around $8 but a perfect size for me (a guilty pleasurable sweet tooth pleaser). The Praline Butter Cake was sooooo yummy! I will be returning for it! SEATING: The business has limited indoor and outdoor seating. PARKING: This area can get traffic congested but I was very pleased that I got a parking spot directly across from this spot.

Cute little ice cream shop with eclectic ice cream flavors. They had some fall special flavors, one being the blueberry donut jelly and for some reason, I wanted to try it. They also had another flavor, honeycomb, that's apparently a popular flavor, so I ordered both. The ice-cream was flavorful, although I would say the blueberry one was a little too sweet for me. It still tasted good, but I preferred the honey comb one. As for service, they were pretty efficient and quickly moved through the lines.

Not all it's cracked up to be. Service is always hit or miss. And the ice cream is just okay. It feels sandy in your mouth. Definitely not worth $7 for 1 scoop. They have fun flavor options they just don't execute well. Minimal seating inside and awkward door and line setup.

I'm addicted to this ice cream . I've been twice in the past two weeks. I went during the evening both times and the line wasn't too long both times. The place is cute and has limited seating inside and outside. Service both times has been awesome. I love that they allow you to try unlimited samples. They have some good flavors and a good amount of vegan ice cream. I got the peanut butter brownie honeycomb. It sounds like a lot but it just all goes so well together. It's yummy!

Visiting DC my friends & I had to come in person to experience Van Leeuwen's - as we often buy their products at our local Whole Foods in TN. What a fun modern vibe with solid yummy, creamy, unique ice cream! It was popping on a Friday night, so grateful the service was in their game and it was well worth the wait. As it was post a heavy dinner, I tried the Sicilian Pistachio and would highly recommend if you're wanting something not too sweet or too heavy. My friends loved all their various flavors, didn't think to get pics of theirs.

There isn't much seating inside but they also have outdoor seating. Inside is super cute with bright yellow interior. The workers are all very friendly and lets you try any flavor you want. The ice cream was very creamy and thick. The earl grey was not too sweet and tasted very strongly like tea. I personally loved it but my mom thought it tasted a bit like makeup?? So it can be a hit or miss. The Sicilian pistachio was delicious with a strong pistachio flavor and also not too sweet. All of the flavors sounded amazing and will definitely be back to try some others!

I had to try Van Leeuwen when I saw that they are near Union Market! There was a line, but it was worth the wait. The playlist was awesome, and it felt like club music! The price for one scoop is $8, which breaks the bank and my heart. But the ice cream is delicious, and I suppose I shouldn't be shocked by the price of anything these days. I got the brown sugar cookie dough brownie flavor. Very good!! I will be back.

Was just ok. I prefer haagen dasz. Their ginger flavor was bad. The guy at the counter seemed a little annoyed when I asked to try different flavors.Parking is on the street and it is free on Sunday.Honestly I don't see myself coming back here. It was just okay
