I had never heard of Toft's until this past spring, when my son's baseball team informed us about…read moreToft's running a promo for little leaguers. Apparently they're a popular ice cream place up near Sandusky, and this location in Grandview is their first shop in Central Ohio! So the biggest impression I've gotten from this location is that they have the nicest people working here. They're always really cheerful, helpful, and patient. My kids sometimes take forever to decide what ice cream flavor they want... Their prices seem kind of high at first glance, but it's actually reasonable considering their standard order is a large scoop each of 2 different flavors. They have a large assortment of classic and specialty flavors. I haven't tried it yet, but their made to order ice cream cookie sandwiches sounds amazing too-- we are definitely getting that on our next visit. Writing this review has gotten me craving Toft's actually... I may have to go again this weekend!

It's been soooo long since I've had froyo! As I was scouring the internet for national frozen…read moreyogurt day deals I came across orange leaf and it seemed promising. Walking in was pure nostalgia, taking me back to my middle school days in the 20teens when froyo was all the rave. Personally I think the vanilla based flavors are the best so I went with birthday cake and cheesecake. They have a wide variety of toppings to throw on top of your yogurt like cheesecake bites, brownies, sprinkles, m&ms, fruits, and so much more. The whole concept of fro-yo is self serve so you can choose as many or as little toppings and yogurt you would like. The only thing that was a little annoying was there were no sample cups to try the flavors. It was a little annoying having to go ask for it especially when they only give you one cup to try different flavors. I definitely preferred my experience at orange leaf compared to menchies. I can see myself coming back for my annual fro-yo fix lol! P.S. they have no weigh Wednesdays now during the winter!

It was so good that I found myself thinking about it all week. The shop has a charming old school vibe that makes the whole experience feel nostalgic and special. The customer service was fantastic and the staff happily let us sample different flavors before we made our final choice, which made it even more fun. Every flavor we tried was rich, creamy, and full of flavor. You can really taste the quality. I will definitely be going back again and again. Highly recommend if you are in the Columbus area and craving amazing ice cream.

On the way home from a recent trip to the Cincinnati area, we stopped at Handel's for a sweet…read moretreat. We used to have a location closer to us in Pittsburgh, and we very much miss it, so we make sure to stop anytime we are on a trip and come near one! This specific Handel's Ice Cream location is on Feder Road, just down from the Feder and Hilliard Rome intersection. It is close to the business district on Hilliard Rome, but just far enough off that it is not too loud or busy. The building sits by itself, and can be accessed via Hartford Village Boulevard, or an unnamed road to the right of the store. There is a large sign that sits near Feder Road, so you will know exactly where to go. Since the building sits by itself, there is dedicated parking on both the right side and in the rear. I can see potentially at peak times this being full, but there are other parking lots adjacent to Handel's that potentially could be utilized. Some Handel's locations have an inside, but like most in Ohio, this location is completely outdoors. So, to place your order you simply walk up to the windows, and can then enjoy their bench seating or take your items to-go. When you approach the windows, you will see all of the signage, menu items, and flavors. The overall ambiance here is nice. There is a lot of bench seating and grass area to socialize and enjoy your ice cream at. There is also a fence at the front of the property to prevent anyone getting too close to Feder Road. The building itself is a classic, older Handel's design, that is very recognizable if you are familiar with the brand. They have a very nice, bright mural painted on the right side of the building that brings a lot to the space. Our visit was on a Sunday evening in September, around 6:30 PM. It was not too busy, as it was lightly raining when we stopped. We briefly waited for the few groups ahead of us to order, but then got waited on less than 5 minutes after arriving (including the time we took to look at the menu). The menu had a lot of different flavors to choose from. There were some fall options being that is was mid-to-late September, including Pumpkin flavors! Like all locations, they had cones, cups, milkshakes, sundaes, novelty items, cakes, pies, and much more. My typical order at Handel's is a 4 Scoop Sampler. This is a takeout-like container with four singular scoops of up to four different flavors. It is a great way to try several different kinds of ice cream, or simply when you cannot decide what you want to have. It is a good size if you are wanting a large sweet treat, or to split with someone else. You are able to get anything that is scooped in the 4 Scoop, which includes the sherbets, ices, and other non-traditional flavors. We were not super hungry when we stopped, so my mom, sister, and I shared the 4 Scoop Sampler. For the flavors, we chose Confetti Brownie Batter, Frosted Animal Cookie, Knot Your Average Dough, and Blueberry Cobbler. I had never tried the Knot Your Average Dough before, so I was excited to taste it. The Confetti Brownie Batter and Frosted Animal Cookie were new to my mom and sister, and then the Blueberry Cobbler is a personal favorite for my sister. I really enjoyed Knot Your Average Dough! It is a Cookie Dough-flavored ice cream with a Salted Pretzel Ripple and Cookie Dough Pieces. The ripple was my favorite part, and I would definitely order it again. I am not a huge fan personally of Confetti Brownie Batter (nothing wrong with this one, I just believe there are much better flavors Handel's makes) and Frosted Animal Cookie (in my opinion, does not taste like Frosted Animal Cookies except for the actual cookie inclusions), but both were made well. Blueberry Cobbler had a ton of Blueberry Ripple, and was great. No complaints about the quality or taste of the ice creams! We all enjoyed getting to try some new-to-us flavors. Since it was raining, and were were trying to get back to Pittsburgh, we took our ice cream to-go. Though, I would love to come back and enjoy the outdoor area on another visit. Pricing here was fair. A small scoop will run about $5 after tax. Our 4 Scoop Sampler was around $7 after tax. Most single-serve items are less than $10, so very normal as far as ice cream is concerned. Considering they make all of the ice creams in-house and with high-quality ingredients, I definitely believe the value is there. All of the staff we interacted with were friendly and helpful. As stated, our service was very prompt and quick. I have no complaints about anything relating to the staff or the overall customer service here. Had a great visit to this Handel's location! Service was excellent, the ice cream was all very well-made, the location is clean, and the overall atmosphere is great. Glad that I got to have some delicious ice cream, and check out a different Handel's location. I highly recommend stopping at Handel's if you have never been, or are simply in the mood for some incredible ice cream!

One of my favorite places for a treat…read more Diamonds has an array of handcrafted Mexican ice creams. Traditional flavors like piñon, mamey, or rompompe are always available, but they also have super yummy flavors they rotate in line leche quemada (burnt milk) or fruit-forward sorbets. Don't forget their Aguas Frescas. My favorite is their Jamaica, but their Horchata is top-notch too. They also have a variety of Vaso de Frutas at their second counter where you can get mango slices topped with lime juice, chamoy, and Tajiín. This is my favorite menu item of all! If you're with some friends and feeling crazy, get a Sandía Loca to share (practice safe COVID protocols of course) If you're not sure where to start, grab a paleta (Mexican popsicle) or chocolate covered banana. In the last few years, they've added tons of Mexican candies, snacks, and trinkets which are fun. The workers are always super nice and happy to give you a sample. Definitely check out this place and support them!

Walk past the dining room, past the Gelato room and kinda down the hall towards the restrooms to order at the counter. Be sure to grab a paper menu. The 3 TV screens are incredibly difficult to read especially the one on the left with the brightness that fades then flickers. Horrible. Felt like I was at McDonalds or an express Chinese restaurant. Nezt turn back toward the dining room and fill your glass at the McDobalds-inspired soft drink self-service fountain. As you enter the dining room with an order number to place on your table be sure to stop in front of another large TV advertising menu items at the self service bread. Mix your own dipping oil with the condiments available (oil, vinegar, garlic salt, cracked pepper) Pats of butter are also available. The bread is fantastic Just don't let it be a bad decision that ruins your appetite. That little hallway can back up blocking access to the restroom., drink station, bread and gelato. I understand carryout has its own room down that hallway too. Do not skip the lunch pick 2 menu! For $14.95 select between soup , salad or pasta. We both selected a DaVinci salad (topped with cucumber, tomato, red onion and basalmic dressing) and lasagna. The portions were generous and delicious! Im a big eater. I finished my salad but could only eat about 60% of my lasagna. Hubs was happy to finish it! Save room for gelato! House made with probably 20 flavors, it's the perfect t end to a delicious meal. Obviously we were there at lunch and we were lucky enough to meet Laura who claims to be a server. She was welcoming, delightful and really made us feel like family. We noticed her welcoming a group of 6 there for a business lunch. Laura encourage them to sit, bought paper menus, made suggestions and answered questions before sending them to the counter to order and pay. I hope DaVinci leadership reads this review and recognizes that we will return because of Laura. She is an asset to your business and needs to be rewarded for her outstanding service at this self service establishment. Do not let the quirky space deter you. The food is well worth the awkard space! Parking surrounds the building. If you have to park in the back, please take the corner slow, it can be tight with parked cars and two way traffic.

Unfortunately it was just an ordinary diner with decent food but just okay.Nothing "Wowed Us"* & I really wanted to be Wowed... Charming corner spot with lotsa traffic & customers having a good time and all. But the pizzazz & flavors was just average & okay. The Marinara sauce was bland, like from a can & the pasta was Skimpy plus small portions for the prices. The atmosphere was fine with some good vibes & music but the Italian Grub was NOT a Hit I really, really wanted this to be "Good" ~ but not so much Being a Southsider from Chicago, I've had Real Italian all My Life...Reading the reviews & so forth, I thought it would be much better plus the amount of customers this place had? However, I guess My Tastebuds & Knowledge of Italian Foods doesn't compare to the rest of the clientele that frequents this establishment.

Good flavored ice cream with a multitude of flavors and combinations. If you pick a flavor you…read moredon't like then it's more of a you thing than them as most of the stuff here is customizable. Flavor profiles of the various ice cream combinations are there like if you choose s'mores then it'll have the classic s'mores ingredients such as marshmallow, chocolate, graham crackers. One drawback to this place is little to no staff. Not one did the one worker have to take all the orders but he had to stop and make each individual item himself. We waited 30-40 mins before eating our treat from the moment of entering, waiting behind 6 people, ordering ourselves, paying, staffer making it, and then giving us our ice cream. Also there is little to No seating inside or outside. 3 Stars for the wait, one staffer, little to no seating inside or out. This is the type of stuff you've kinda gotta eat while you're there or you'll have a soupy mess trying to get it home before it melts. Are you supposed to walk back in forth in that busy parking lot (cars do a clean 50 or 60 mph through the parking lot NO CAP) chomping on ice cream? Outside of this the product produced is VERY GOOD
