Van Leeuwen Ice Artisan Ice Cream Truck

I was so excited to see Pandan/​Sesame and Pistachio on the menu. I stopped by the shop not the truck and paid 11 for TWO single scoops.
DISGUSTING. It tasted like chemicals, it makes me wonder if it’s a bad batch because someone must have sprayed Lysol or spilled Dish Detergent in the machine. So nasty. I could not taste pistachio nor sesame nor Pandan. Do you guys even taste test your products? ugh makes me mad all over again reliving this experience.
I love pandan and sesame flavors, apparently only asians know how to execute those exotic flavors. Please stick to what you know. I will never return. I took two bites to make sure it was as disgusting as I thought and threw it away. I ran to Oddfellows as fast as I could and got one scoop for around 4 bucks to get that nasty fake taste out of my mouth. What a violation to my tastebuds. No thanks. Never again

Very simple modern vibe. This place was pretty full when I came on a Sunday afternoon. They have basic flavors, but home-​made, so it’s bound to be good. We got the vanilla and also the affogato (vanilla with a coffee drink basically). Loved it. The only issue here is the prices. It’ll cost you a pretty penny for a pretty small scoop of ice cream ($ 6).

Pass on the pistachio and order another flavor! Some of the flavors are good though!

I love how simple the choices are. The staff are so nice and relaxed.

Omg this has to be the best ice cream my fiancée and I ever tasted .we were walking through williamsburg on mothers day from nj visiting our parents and wow was I impressed really made our day!

On a hot day in Williamsburg I was so excited to see the ‘ice-​cream man’. The ice cream was what I call proper ice cream. Nice and creamy and the flavor was very strong. I had mint choc chip & chocolate and loved them both, you can really taste the pure chocolate flavor. My husband had espresso & chocolate and said the same thing, normally you get a flavor and it doesn’t really taste of it, but said both had a strong flavor.
The truck is cash only so be prepared. I will definitely have my eye out for the truck when I’m out again on a sunny day.

Love Van Leeuwen’s Ice cream. Their ice creams are rich in flavor but not so much to be overpowering. The earl grey ice cream is absolutely delicious! Perfect in flavor and texture. The ice cream truck in Williamsburg is located near the L train; which is perfect because sometimes one just needs to indulge in yummy deliciousness on the way home from a long day of work.

Saw this truck while walking to dinner and when we finished, we made a beeline for it again for dessert. The guy running the place went for a small break so we patiently waited in line Less than 10 minutes later, he was back and they started serving us. I guess their gimmick/​hook is organic, natural and vegan ice cream. That explains the almost $ 6 cone. Haha. Luckily they were able to let us have two flavors on one cone. I opted for strawberry and earl grey. I don’t believe they asked me which one I wanted on top but strawberry was on the bottom and it worked out since that was my preferred flavor of the two.

One of my husbands friends took us to this ice cream spot after raving about it. A cute truck that offers a variety of Vegan Artisan Ice Creams to choose from… though pricer than most other places and a smaller portion. I had the cookies and cream flavor and thought that it tasted ok, nothing extraordinary. I also didn’t like the fact that it melted super fast. Probably not the first place that will come to my mind when I think of having some ice cream.

What a lucky day. My first time in Williamsburg and just about to head home when we pass this truck. I’ve heard about the vegan ice cream served at Van Leeuwen, so could not pass up the chance even though I was stuffed from dinner.
The Mint Chip has to be the best mint chip I’ve ever had. It’s not abnormally bright green nor overpoweringly sweet like normal mint chip. Instead, it was the perfect level and combination of subtle sweetness and refreshing mint. The Vegan Dark Chocolate was okay. It tasted very much like coconut milk. Not enough dark chocolate flavor.
I also asked to try a spoonful of the Earl Grey just because that seems to be everyone’s favorite flavor, but for some reason it tasted like fruit loops to me. Their ice cream is on the expensive side, but I don’t mind paying a little extra for good quality ice cream. Coconut milk’s more expensive than milk anyways.

I really liked the mint chip ice cream but think it was way too expensive for the size I received. The woman next to me ordered the same size and received double the amount. One of the servers was not very friendly. Understandably, I’ve been in the service industry and it could have been a bad day. But if you’re working in ice cream, it goes a long way to be a little friendly. Otherwise, tasty and refreshing ice cream!

Van Leeuwen does seasonal ice cream flavors and I was lucky enough to be in the neighborhood for it. I shared the earl grey and pistachio with my boyfriend, portions are fair. I definitely prefer the earl grey while my boyfriend likes the pistachio. Very rich in flavor and the server even lets you sample the flavors before you make a choice.
EXTRA bonus points for serving vegan/​paleo ice cream!

Nice assortment of vegan flavors. The pistachio was just okay, and the mint chip didn’t really have any chips.
Oh well, still a better choice than all the fake fro yo places littering the city.
For the BEST vegan ice cream in BK try Healthy Nibbles in Park Slope.

If you’re a fan of soft serve, this is it! What do you expect from an ice cream truck? You won’t get the same texture like in store. But hey! Who said that was a bad thing? For those who wait for their ice cream to soften up, get it from a truck instead! They don’t carry as many flavors as they do in store but they have the popular ones. I’m only referring to the vegan flavors. They charge $ 0.50 for ordering a vegan flavor which I find wrong. ice cream should be charged equal! Then again, this shows that vegan ice cream tastes way better than regular! Am I right or am I right? The line can get long so if you don’t feel like waiting outside in the heat for ice cream, I suggest stopping by the store.

Whats better than a Vegan Ice Cream Truck after Sunday dinner in Brooklyn? Not much. This place ROCKS!!! This truck is definitely one of my MUST HAVES the next time I am in NYC.

Definitely SMALLL WAY TOO SMALL portion wise for $ 7 ice cream. Seriously give me some love. You are a food truck and probably only expense you have is that truck and gas. Seriously give us a bigger portion. I pay $ 4 in chinatown and gets twice of your $ 7 scope.
Flavor is really so so. They have all the essential flavor which is good. Less time for me to decide between those exotic stuff vs. vanilla.

Story:
I was walking down the streets of Williamsburg and had a sudden urge for some ice cream. Luckily this truck screamed ice cream through it’s sign so I checked what they had to offer.
Food:
Gianduja (Nutella) — Definitely tastes like nutella and it’s either me or it melts pretty quickly
Hazelnut– sweet and creamy with slight chunks of nuts. This too melted pretty fast. O_​o
Ambiance:
It’s an ice cream truck in the streets of Brooklyn so you’ll get the hipster brooklyn streets experience. While ordering my ice cream I was by a group of riff raffs sitting on the steps clowning on hipsters that passed by. It was quite amusing.
Customer Service:
The workers was quick, polite, and informative. He restricted me to only one sample though.
Overall:
I give this place a 3.5. They may provide a great unique flavors but it just didn’t stand out to me. I understand the reason for its pricey scoops but I think I can just settle for store bought ice cream. This wouldn’t be a place I must come back to but I know this is a good place to get the job done.
Advice:
Try their vegan or other unique flavors.

Used to be a truck that was never in the right place at the right time for me, but yay! Now a dedicated store. Still always get the earl grey tea flavored ice cream — it’s the only place I’ve ever been to that had a tea flavored ice cream and I love tea. Light and not to sweet and totally unique.

I ordered the vegan chocolate; the vegan vanilla was a little flavorless. They have a lot of choices for milk-​based ice cream, but not many for vegan options. So the 3 stars are for the lack of non-​milk choices.

While strolling down the streets of Williamsburg, we saw this cute little yellow ice-​cream truck. At first, I was like, ehh another ice cream truck, but what caught my eyes was the «earl grey tea» ice cream flavor. We got in line and ordered a large cone of Earl Grey + Hazelnut.
Earl Grey tea — AMAZINGLY yummy!!! Not too sweet and tasted just like tea!
Hazelnut — sweeter, creamy and there are chunks of nuts in it. I liked it but the bf did not like the chunks at all.
As good as the ice-​cream is, two scoops cost $ 6.90. I don’t buy a lot of sweets or ice-​creams, so i’m not sure if this is the price for fancy treats or it’s normal. I thought for myself it is a bit pricy… good but a tad bit pricy!
