Too late this place is so good. I had to come and try the coffee chocolate chip ice cream. I got the medium size and I’m glad I did because if I got any larger, I’d be eating it for the rest of my life my friend that came with me got the apple pie and he doesn’t seem to be regretting it at all. The prices are just right and service is great and of course we picked later in the evening so we didn’t have to stand in line but you can understand with the first bite why this place is one of the most popular ice cream creamery in all of Southern California. Stop by and check it out.

Handel’s Ice Cream, a true gem in the ice cream world, stands out for its freshly made ice cream, extensive flavor selection, and exceptional customer service. With over 40 flavors of ice cream and sorbet, including gluten-free and dairy-free options, Handel’s caters to every taste bud. Among their delectable creations, my personal favorite is the BLACK CHERRY, an absolute delight! Handel’s Ice Cream offers a variety of cones, including regular and waffle cones, as well as dishes and bowls. The ordering process is simple and straightforward. Simply choose your cone and size, ranging from small 1-flavor cones to large 3-flavor cones. If you’re still undecided, they have a 4-scoop sampler that’s an excellent way to explore different flavors. But Handel’s offerings don’t end there! They al

Happy to have a Handel’s location close by and The Oaks Mall needed an ice cream spot! I love that you get 3-5 scoops even for a small cone. The ice cream is creamy and always delicious. I also love that there are so many flavor varieties to choose from. $8.25 for a medium waffle cone is pretty much on par with other competitors.

I had never been to Handel’s before and this was my first visit. They were pretty busy on the night I visited and the line was pretty long but went by fast. They have so many flavors to choose from it was so hard to pick! I ended up getting their version of a rocky road and strawberry shortcake. The combination was perfect and I’ll definitely be back to try some more flavors. ☺️

Sooooo yummy!! Creamy and made fresh everday ice cream! Got the Black Raspberry Chuck and was so surprised that the chunks of chocolate were soft!! Loved it and have been craving it since. Husband got the Coffee Chocolate Chip and it had high quality coffee flavor! Can't wait to try more flavors! Also loved the window were you can watch the ice cream being made, fun for the kiddos!
