About the Company

Van Leeuwen Ice Cream

Artisanal ice cream retailer and wholesaler

Van Leeuwen Ice Cream makes premium ice cream in both dairy and vegan lines, sold through company-owned scoop shops and wholesale channels. Dairy recipes follow a French-style method with fresh milk, cream, sugar, and many egg yolks, while vegan options use house-made cashew, coconut, and oat milks with cocoa butter, all crafted in small batches for distribution to scoops, grocery pints, and select international locations. The company stands out by combining a strong dairy- and vegan-focused menu with a multi-channel retail approach built on simple, high-quality ingredients and artisanal techniques. Its goal is to grow a well-known premium ice cream brand with broad reach while preserving quality across more locations and markets.
