i expected indulgence, but the sampler itself impressed me most. the banana cream pie was quite the beige-squib experience, it basically just tasted like frozen korean banana milk with barely enough mix-ins to justify the “pie” name.. yet the grand central station was a clear standout: nutty, salted-caramel rich, slightly old-fashioned that was comforting and decadent mint oreo was very aggressively minty, and the chocolate peanut butter brownie was yum, but far too light, i wanted heavier, denser, and more “brownie” or “peanut butter” richness. seems like creamy textures and light flavours are the common tidbits here, still, the sampler earns its keep: fun to mix, low risk, and something i’d definitely get again, just with better choices hopefully!

What a great ice cream experience! …we eat a lot of ice cream and so were quite pleased that a local friend took us to this place on a warm afternoon after having a nice lunch at The Attic over in another part of town.
However, do not let the long line deter you. It moves quickly and we had our ice cream in no time. I tried the dark cherry and the pineapple upside down cake, my wife got a couple other flavors, and our lactose-free friend had the pomegranate sorbet and the mango sorbet. All were excellent but the sorbet is what really surprised us. I would never choose that over ice cream, but the flavor of both was excellent and the smooth creaminess of the mango was surprising and a nice treat for a sorbet.
Their ice cream is all house-made, which makes a big difference. We always ask if a place makes their own and try to support places like this that are not buying from a mass factory producer.

Handmade-Homemade… Doesn’t matter, it’s wonderful. The coffee chip is perfect for a take home pint, albeit $12+ is a bit steep. Is it twice as good as the “Danizh” coffee chip, almost. Stiff competition for LB Creamery!

Really what’s to write. Handels is just the best. I used to live near one when my pup was a baby, and she definitely has grown up loving handels too. The pup cup for her. The graham central and strawberry cheesecake for me. What can go wrong

This is a hidden gem They greeted us from the side window ! We told them that it was our first time here ! They explained the difference in size of the scoops ,plus the little tiny scoop on top ! Very cute ! They make their own Ice Cream ! They have so many different flavors ! We took our time looking at all the amazing flavors ! Yes, they are more expensive, but so worth it ! Your worth a little treat as well ! Enjoy your Ice Cream !

The best ice cream I have ever had. Huge portions! The portions can easy be shared by two or three. Also the small waffle bowl is actually a medium so you get more ice cream. Overall everyone enjoyed their flavors and will be coming back in the future. I highly recommend you give them a try when you’re in the neighborhood.

Double scoop with dipped waffle cone bowl / graham central station, black raspberry chunk – 5 !
I was coming back from San Pedro and it was hot out. A craving for ice cream came out of nowhere and Handel’s seemed like a great spot to get my fix. They have a lot of SoCal locations but until this visit I had heard of them but not stopped by.
I am glad I got the chance! They had a nice line the entire time I was there so folks definitely know they are legit and now I can count myself as one of them.
They have a ton of flavors but the graham central and black raspberry caught my eye. I was very happy with both but the graham central in particular was something I hadn’t seen before and it was so good. Next time I stop at a Handel’s I’ll probably grab it again even with their huge variety of flavors.
I made a huge mess of myself with this ice cream but no regrets at all. I had a bottle of water and I used half of it to rinse off. Lol.

This place is just delicious. If you’re from out of town you definitely have to stop by and give it a try. This is now one of my top five favorite ice cream spots to go to. It needs to go Nationwide! ASAP!!
