3245 Prospect St, NW (next to coming Blank Street Coffee)
From a press release:
“Van Leeuwen, the Brooklyn-born brand known for its made-from-scratch dairy and vegan ice creams, is thrilled to announce that its second D.C. location––located in the heart of Georgetown at 3245 Prospect St NW––will open on Thursday, May 11 at noon.
“We’re so grateful for the warm welcome we received from Washingtonians when we opened our Union Market scoop shop earlier this year, and we’re thrilled to now be opening in yet another one of D.C.’s most iconic and well-known neighborhoods.” says co-founder Ben Van Leeuwen.
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–– exclusive to D.C. scoop shops.
“The flavors in our Dirty Chai Cupcake and our specialty flavor with Van Leeuwen Ice Cream embody that spicy chai flavor we all know and love,” said Tessa Velazquez, Co-Owner of Baked & Wired. “You’ll taste notes of black pepper, cardamom, cloves, and cinnamon from our chai cake, along with a delicious espresso infused buttercream swirled throughout. We couldn’t be more excited to bring our delicious cupcakes to new heights with Van Leeuwen.”
In addition to the Dirty Chai Cupcake Ice Cream flavor, the Georgetown store will feature more than 30 of the brand’s signature flavors––including Honeycomb, Pistachio (made with pistachios sourced from Mount Etna in Sicily), Marionberry Cheesecake (made with vine-ripened berries from Oregon farm partner Stahlbush Island Farms), and Earl Grey Tea (made with Rishi Tea)––along with custom sundaes, handmade ice cream sandwiches, root beer floats, milkshakes and pints to-go. An extensive selection of Van Leeuwen’s famed vegan flavors, such as Churros & Fudge and Peanut Butter Brownie Honeycomb, will also be available.
To mark the opening, Van Leeuwen Georgetown will be offering $1 scoops between 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm on Thursday, May 11. Additionally, the first 100 customers in line will receive free, limited-edition Van Leeuwen DC totes.
Stay tuned, as Van Leeuwen will be opening their third D.C. location in the iconic Adams Morgan neighborhood at 2421 18th St. NW in the coming weeks.
Van Leeuwen Georgetown is located at 3245 Prospect St NW and is open daily at the following hours:
Sunday – Thursday 11 a.m. – 12 a.m. Friday & Saturday 11 a.m. – 1 a.m.

We’re about a month out from summer. That means you’ve still got time for spring cleaning!
Lexi Grant, an operations manager at Well-Paid Maids, shared her go-to spring cleaning tips with WTOP News. Step one? Declutter. Get rid of items you don’t use, find space for items that need a home and organize those areas.
Then, it’s time to dust. Lexi starts with high-touch surface areas (think: refrigerator, dishwasher, counters, microwave). One area she sees often neglected is the bedroom — and it makes sense. Heavy furniture is difficult to move around, but it’s important to really get in there so dust doesn’t affect your sleep.
