Alexandria’s beloved King Street just got a little sweeter. Van Leeuwen Ice Cream opened its doors on King Street this week, welcoming the community with a celebratory offer of $1 scoops on opening day.
The arrival of Van Leeuwen — known for its artisan flavors and cult following — adds another distinctive destination to Old Town’s vibrant dining and retail scene. The $1 scoop promotion gave neighbors and visitors an easy reason to stop in and celebrate the newest addition to the neighborhood.
King Street continues to grow as a destination, and Van Leeuwen’s opening is the latest sign of that momentum. Whether you’re a longtime fan of the brand or a first-time visitor curious about the buzz, the new shop offers a welcoming spot to cool off and enjoy a scoop this summer.
Alexandria is also seeing fresh energy on the restaurant front: KPOT, an all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ and hot pot concept, has also fired up in the city, bringing a lively communal dining experience to local food lovers. Together, the two openings reflect a busy and exciting season for Alexandria’s food and hospitality scene.
