Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream aims for authenticity, quality
The Brooklyn-based ice cream maker has found success building its own mini-empire of stores and trucks. It can boast of steady growth while staying true to its dedication to quality.
Van Leeuwen Artisan Ice Cream wants to make people happy with ice cream. The company set out to revive the classic American ice cream truck and the art of traditional ice cream making using only the highest-quality ingredients and no stabilizers. For the company, it’s about being authentic and making ice cream that is truly pure.
Run by co-founders and brothers Ben and Peter Van Leeuwen, along with co-founder Laura O’Neill, the company has become what it describes as a “mini ice cream empire.” Appealing to a broad audience, it makes both dairy-based and vegan ice cream from just a handful of fresh and specially sourced ingredients.
