Van Leeuwen Coming To Montana Ave.

Montana Ave, Santa Monica’s preeminent shopping/dining street, is becoming a sweet destination.  Rori’s Artisanal Creamery, Pinkberry, and Frozen Fruit Company are just a few of the places to score a frozen treat.  And now one more is on the way…  Window paper is up on the space that used to be home to Erin Mckenna’s Bakeryat 1415 Montana, announcing another ice cream spot.  Van Leeuwen, which started out in 2008 in New York as a food truck, will soon be bringing their signature artisan ice creams, vegan ice creams, sundaes, vegan chocolate chip cookies, and shakes to the tony neighborhood.

Frozen Fruit Company Now Dishing All-Fruit Soft Serve To Montana Ave.

Just what you need as the temperature continues to climb…  Back in September of last year, I first noticed that a new shop offering a frozen alternative to yogurt was moving into the space at 729 Montana Ave. in Santa Monica.  After what seems like a long time, the Frozen Fruit Company is now up and running.  Originally hailing from the UK, FFC offers a soft serve made entirely from fruit in flavors such as pineapple & passion fruit, mango & strawberry, raspberry & orange that you can read more about here.

Frozen Fruit Co. Coming Soon To Montana Ave.

It looks like Montana Ave. in Santa Monica is about to get not just one, but two icy treat shops soon.  Recently, I told you about the impending arrival of Santa Barbara’s Rori’s Artisanal Creamery.  A little over a block away, signs have gone up in the window of 908 Montana that used to house a scent store (yes, it did exist) announcing that Frozen Fruit Co. will soon be inhabiting the space.  According to the window display, FFC specializes in “frozen fruit swirls”.  I can’t seem to locate a great deal of information, and their website is still being built, but you can follow their progress on Twitter here.
