Van Leeuwen Ice Cream
About
Van Leeuwen Ice Cream’s Harvard Square scoop shop serves the New York brand’s ice cream, made from a combination of milk, cream, eggs and cane sugar, plus vegan ice cream built on coconuts, cashews and oats. Customers can order scoops, sundaes, milkshakes and ice cream sandwiches, or take home a pint to go. The brand’s vanilla was voted the best vanilla ice cream by Wirecutter.
The company started in 2008 out of a yellow scoop truck on New York City streets, with a mission to make good ice cream from good ingredients that makes people feel good. It has since grown to more than 50 scoop shops. Flavors have included honeycomb and an Alphonso mango ice cream swirled with coconut rice ice cream, and the brand’s own motto promises that if you have a mouth, it has a flavor.
