Beverly Hills, Get Ready for Ice Cream Bliss!
The vibrant heart of Beverly Hills is about to get a taste of something truly sweet and special! Starting Friday, April 4, ice cream lovers can indulge in delightful scoops at the grand opening of Van Leeuwen Ice Cream, located at 253 S. Beverly Drive. This new scoop shop marks an exciting milestone for the brand—it’s their 75th brick-and-mortar store across the United States!
A Celebration to Remember
To kick off the festivities, Van Leeuwen is making quite the splash. From 3 PM to 5 PM on opening day, guests can enjoy scoops for just $1. Yes, you read that right! In addition to the sweet deal on scoops, the first 100 customers through the door will snag a fashionable free tote bag. The store will be open from 11:00 AM until midnight, giving ice cream enthusiasts ample time to get their fix.
From NYC to LA
Van Leeuwen Ice Cream originally launched way back in 2008 from a charming yellow ice cream truck cruising through the streets of New York City. Since then, the brand has captured the hearts (and taste buds) of many with its rich, French-style ice cream. What makes their ice cream so luscious? Each batch utilizes twice the amount of egg yolks compared to traditional recipes, ensuring a creaminess that’s hard to beat.
Flavors Galore!
Van Leeuwen is famous for its innovative and top-quality flavors, made with only the best ingredients—no unnecessary additives here! Ice cream fans can look forward to over 30 signature flavors rotating on the menu. A few standout flavors include:
- Vanilla Bean – crowned as the best vanilla by The New York Times
- Honeycomb – a sweet treat that delights
- Praline Butter Cake – for those who love something a little richer
- Pistachio – crafted with nuts sourced from Sicily’s Mount Etna
- Marionberry Cheesecake – packed with berries from Oregon’s Stahlbush Island Farms
For the vegan crowd, there’s no need to worry—Van Leeuwen has you covered with a variety of delicious options! Flavors like Banana Bread Pudding, Strawberry Shortcake, and Peanut Butter Brownie Honeycomb will surely satisfy every craving.
Limited-Edition Wonders
This brand doesn’t shy away from the unconventional either! Van Leeuwen is notorious for its quirky limited-edition collaborations. Curious flavors like Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, Hidden Valley Ranch, and even a special Espresso ice cream made in partnership with singer Sabrina Carpenter and NBA star Jimmy Butler’s BIGFACE Coffee have turned heads and created buzz.
More Than Just Scoops
The Beverly Hills location isn’t just about scoops either; patrons can also enjoy a variety of other treats! Think milkshakes, sundaes, root beer floats, and ice cream sandwiches. Plus, whether you’re craving a late-night snack or want to bring some sweetness home, pints are available to-go.
Don’t Miss Out!
If you’re in or around Beverly Hills, make sure to stop by Van Leeuwen Ice Cream on their opening day. With scrumptious scoops, free tote bags, and a delightful atmosphere, it’s sure to be an experience you won’t want to miss. So gather your friends, satisfy your sweet tooth, and enjoy the creamy, dreamy treats that are Van Leeuwen’s specialty!
