Van Leeuwen, the Brooklyn-born brand known for its made-from-scratch dairy and vegan ice creams, will open at noon, Thursday, May 11, at 3245 Prospect St. NW.
For the debut of its Georgetown outpost, the brand has partnered with beloved neighborhood bakery Baked & Wired to create a limited edition ice cream flavor — Dirty Chai Cupcake.
