Enjoy Free Scoops Of Van Leeuwen Ice Cream At Their Arts District Opening

Artisanal ice cream maker Van Leeuwen will open their first brick-and-mortar in L.A. and they're handing out free scoops tomorrow to celebrate. If you've chased down the yellow trucks of Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream for scoops of their salted caramel or vegan peanut butter chocolate chip, then you'll be happy to learn that you won't have to run as much now to enjoy their delicious ice cream. This Saturday, the N.Y.-based dessert purveyor will open up a storefront at the Arts District's hip One Santa Fe building, according to Eater LA. And to get the ice cream party started, they'll be giving out free scoops from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday.
At the new Arts District location, you'll be able to enjoy all the Van Leeuwen hits, including classics like chocolate, pistachio and mint chip; vegan options like coffee bean and banana nut; and rotating specials like honeycomb and vegan cherry with cacao nibs. They'll also serve up new flavors like pumpkin pie, mocha and donut, and vegan matcha green tea, says Time Out Los Angeles. Or you can opt for their killer sundaes like the ginger caramel crunch or the "New Yorker" with espresso ice cream, fudge, and cacao nibs—though maybe it's time to add an "Angeleno" to the menu.
They'll also be pouring a full selection of coffee beverages from Toby's Estate Coffee.
Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Creamis located at 300 S Santa Fe Avenue, Arts District.
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
