Handel's has the creamiest hard ice cream around. Our favorite ice cream place was closed due to a staffing shortage, so we decided to give this place a try, and we're glad we did. The cinnamon roll and chocolate coffee chip ice creams were extremely delicious. One can have a choice between a regular or waffle cone, and even a waffle bowl! We arrived on a Friday night around 7:20 and had to let others order ahead of us because there were many flavors to choose from, including Spouse Like a House and Pumpkin Ripple. Although it wasn't busy -- perhaps because of the lateness of the season -- there was still a steady stream of people patronizing the place. The servers were quite pleasant and greet you with a smile. Give this place a try. You won't be disappointed!

We absolutely love Handel’s. Dangerous for me since it’s right next to the post office and the Weis.. BK Too. lol

Super friendly staff. Fast service. The chocoholic chunk is superb. Other flavors good too! If it's very hot, consider a waffle bowl so your ice cream doesn't melt all over your hands! They only have outdoor seating, so come when it's not too sunny.

Ok, the ice cream was amazing, I must say. Banana split was perfection 🍨😋😍 but the reason I gave it 4 🌟 instead if 5 is because the place was covered in webs and dead bugs that one literally fell in my icecream 😑 of course I just scooped it out and continued to eat cause it was delicious but please, please power wash your outside 🙏 😖
