Van Leeuwen

This popular artisanal ice-cream chainlet got its start as a pair of roving trucks. Its second brick-and-mortar location, a sunny café in Boerum Hill, is outfitted with black-walnut tables, pendant lighting and a glass-paneled facade. As at its other stationary shop, you'll find ice creams, Intelligentsia coffee and fresh-baked pastries. New at this outpost: creamy milk shakes.
