Van Leeuwen Ice Cream has plans to open another New Jersey locale in Downtown Millburn, in the same building as Willow + Whisk. The franchise is known for its artisanal ice cream creations in one-of-a-kind flavors like honeycomb, Earl Grey tea, buttermilk berry cornbread, and praline butter cake, as well as its expansive list of vegan options. The Millburn site will mark the business's fourth Garden State location, with the first being in the American Dream Mall in East Rutherford, the second on Grove Street in Jersey City, and the third coming soon to Washington Street in Hoboken.
