Van Leeuwen Ice Cream – Montrose review

Creamy and dreamy, refreshing ice-cream. I visited exactly a month ago with a good friend of mine. I had never tried Van Leeuwen although I spotted it a few times out in New York. That's where VL is originally from and it's great to have a spot here down in the H. This is not their first location but it's definitely a cozy spot to open up shoppe. We have plenty of ice-cream spots in the area but us gourmand Houstonians will happily welcome any new kid on the block. All prestigious and cute, we visited during their grand opening. Truly was a great experience, folks were friendly and fast, whipping up batches and scooping em up in cones or cups. I was soo excited to try their Royal Wedding cake flavor and it was darn good! Might not be on the menu for too long as it's a seasonal flavor. Royal Wedding cake ice cream// "Floral, sweet cream cheese ice cream. Chunks of lemon sponge cake layered with elderflower frosting." Another flavor that's a total classic is their honeycomb ice-cream. It paired perfectly well with their crispy and fresh waffle cone. I was delighted. The flavor I got was regal, classy and sweet. Just the way I like things. I'm a fan of elderflower notes and the lemon definitely spritzied up the flavor, which goes so well with said notes. This spot has always been known for their vegan flavors. But all those that love moo milk can rejoice, because they have classic dairy flavors as well. I thought VL would outdo itself in a not good way, but it was great and I'm happy to welcome this spot in the new Montrose Collective Plaza. Toodle-oo! You'll be a sweet spot to savour during these warmer months that are coming up ahead. Keep calm, chill out, and eat some ice-cream!
