A strong 4/5 stars for Van Leeuwen in Hoboken. The texture and richness of their signature French…read moreice cream base are consistently on point, making for a decadent scoop even if a couple of minor details kept it just shy of a 5. - Brown Sugar Cookie Dough: Deep, caramelized molasses notes running through the base, paired with substantial, chewy bites of cookie dough. It dodges the typical problem of dough bits freezing into rock-hard pellets--each chunk stays soft, buttery, and studded with good-quality dark chocolate. - Cookies and Cream: A textbook take on a classic. Instead of fine cookie dust that turns gray, you get distinct, generous clusters of dark chocolate cookies folded into a rich, velvety sweet cream. The contrast between the crunchy, slightly bitter wafer and the smooth base is great. The only reason for knocking off a star comes down to balance and pricing. Because the egg-yolk-rich custard base is so dense and sweet, pairing two dessert-forward flavors back-to-back leans remarkably heavy by the end of a single cup. Factor in the Hoboken location's premium price point per scoop, and it feels best suited for an occasional indulgence rather than a casual weekly stop. Still, if you're looking for ultra-creamy, high-butterfat ice cream with quality mix-ins on Washington Street, it definitely delivers.

I love fruit and cream together, so the idea of a gelati is very exciting. Mango Italian ice topped with their custard soft serve. The flavor of the mango ice was great, I would order that again. Texturally, I prefer my soft serve more dense, less airy and less stabilized. But with the Italian ice, this texture worked and I would order it again. Very tasty, will be back!

I love the new spoons they're so cute, and their take out bags have really great quality and durability - you can keep reusing it, it doesn't wear out. It can get busy during the weekends which is to be expected so would def advise being patient and not rushing the experience - enjoy it! Also their mango desserts are great but my favorite item from them is the creme brûlée crepe cake - immaculate

While the space itself is a bit small and more for takeout, it does have a variety of different cookies from sea salt chocolate chip to snickerdoodles to smores, given the huge size of the cookies I opted to order the mini cookies instead, specifically the peanut butter and the chocolate chip. Both were delicious and very crumbly, even when toasted up the next day. There was not a line when I ordered and my order was processed fairly quickly.

The young lady not only let me sample three different flavors but she really gave us two HUGE scoops of ice cream. I did finish it but it was enough ice cream to share easily. So, moral of the story is to probably stick to visiting inside if you want ice cream and stick to Dunkin' Donuts orders via the drive thru.

Luis Ice Cream is basically a brick & mortar ice cream truck. They have all the options you would expect from the truck at similar (or better) prices. I went with the Crunchie Red Merlin on a cake cone which is half cherry & half cookie crunch. The cherry is so nostalgic to me and is definitely a #iykyk flavor. The cookie crunch was delicious and went well with the vanilla/chocolate swirl. Sad that ice cream season is coming to an end!
