This new Prospect Heights location of the regional chain of ice cream stores and ice cream trucks sells traditional and vegan frozen treats, all homemade in Greenpoint. According to its website, Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream started selling ice cream "in the spring of 2008 out of a buttery yellow truck on the streets of NYC.

Yelper Mike C., who reviewed the business on April 25, wrote, "The newest Van Leeuwen is now open bright and early, as it is one of their locations serving coffee. If you want ice cream for breakfast though, definitely try the excellent new special flavors, especially the Brown Butter Rum Raisin, only available at this location. The Tiki Paradise is also a great new one."
Marlena K. noted, "Van Leeuwen is the real deal for vegans and non-vegans. At almost six dollars a scoop, you would hope they deliver some good ice cream, and they sure do!"
