★★★★☆ 4.0 Ritvik Nag · Feb 2026

First time in CA as an adult. Stopped by at Handel’s Homemade IC in Walnut Creek, CA. It was raining, and near store closing, and I was slightly sick. I got the 4-combo sampler, with Mango Sherbet + Pistachio + Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie + OD (Ooohh Dough) and it was great. Shared it with others but I ended up finishing most of it. Only thing that sucked is we had to run back in rain with the plastic lid closed. But otherwise the taste was great. I finished the rest of it in the car. My favorite was either CPB or OD, but the Pista was good too. I’ll give it a pass. Nice ice cream shop; and they have a lotta flavors. Hope to be back if I’m in the area again.

★★★★★ 5.0 Ron Hoopes · Jan 2026

This is quite the happening place. Lots of people in and around the store. It was a little difficult to find the line, but the other people there were happy to help out. I was really hoping for blueberry Cobbler ice cream, but that was not on the menu. I opted for the raspberry chocolate something and the double chocolate something. Still, so good! Looking forward to coming back again.

★★★★★ 5.0 Robert Jang · Dec 2025

GREAT tasting ice cream with so many flavors! Generous servings. No dining space inside but a small area by the windows is available. A small could be considered a large at other places. I’m definitely coming back here when I’m in the area.

★★★★★ 5.0 Naila Warren · Jan 2026

Best ice cream ice had on this trip. And the price for the 4 scoop sampler is amazing. Great for trying all of the flavors and sharing with friends.

★★★★★ 5.0 Bay Area Reviews · Aug 2025

This might be the best ice cream shop in the Bay Area. They have a huge selection of flavors. We only tried four but all of them sounded tasty. I’m sad it is so far away in Walnut Creek, but my waistline is thankful. The four flavor sampler is a great deal for just $8, four big scoops of each flavor. Staff was friendly as well.
