For something cool and creamy, head to Van Leeuwen Ice Cream. Made with simple, natural ingredients, their ice cream is always a hit. From classics like vanilla bean to seasonal specials and vegan options, there’s something for everyone here. We love rotating through their seasonal flavors.

Then there’s Rocambolesc, a gelato shop with serious heart. Beyond their whimsical, chef-crafted flavors and Instagram-worthy toppings, they’re on a mission to employ individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). It’s dessert that makes you feel good in every way.

Last but definitely not least, stop by Araya Artisan Chocolate. This boutique chocolatier serves Venezuelan chocolates in over 20 flavors, each one beautifully handcrafted and almost too pretty to eat. Grab a few to sample—or take a box home to keep the indulgence going.
