    Brooker's Entrance

    Really loved this! Very much an experience but also first impressions hit!!!! Arrived and was welcomed by gentle and knowledgeable staff. Tried a few flavors and my decision locked eyes with John Locke Honey Comb flavor did not feel repetitive. Honestly, each bite felt refreshing and satisfying that I would return to get seconds. My favorite part of this was the scale. Each scoop was meticulously measured and I loved how staff ensured I was getting Duke treatment

    The ice cream shop offers indoor and a few outdoor seating options.They offer a variety of ice cream flavors and we were able to sample a few ice creams flavors before making our selection. The staff were friendly and greeted us as we waited in line. The line for the time being is long but it does seem to move quickly. We waiting for about 25 minutes. The inside is loud, busy and super lively. It was not an issue for us since we are happy to see this place is doing so well. The ice cream was rich and smooth in flavor. We ordered the black raspberry ice cream and black Madagascar vanilla ice cream. The butterfinger ice cream with butterfinger pieces was a miss since the flavor was not a favorite. The non cream we ordered the cactus lime sorbet. It was light and tangy.

    Really cute concept and beautiful, clean space. The props are great and I love that the staff is in uniform. Lots of parking outside for the plaza. It's still pretty busy but that is to be expected as they opened not long ago. In time, the crowds will die down and it will be more enjoyable to visit. We didn't have to wait in line but there were no open seats inside and it was a bit loud. Sitting at the tables outside in the heat can be rough (no misters but it is covered so you're not in full sun, though). Lots of flavors with fun names and you can sample before you commit. Staff is friendly and welcoming. The ice cream was just ok for me. Maybe I picked the wrong flavors and I'm not against giving them another try, but that part was a bit of a let down.

    What a fun place to enjoy some delightful flavors of ice cream. I brought my family and we dined on probably 5 or 6 different fun flavors. By the way this was our dinner and might I say it was worth all the calories. We loved the decor and the fashionable peeps who served the ice cream with smiles on their faces.

    We first found Brooker's Founding Flavors Ice Cream in Midvale, Utah less than a month ago and it was a cool (and tasty!) experience. We then learned a Chandler location was opening imminently so we had to check it out! The Chandler location is in a smaller space, with about 10 tables inside pressed against the wall. There's a few tables and chairs outside if you want to sit on 150F metal. The line backed up around the narrow barrier meaning people were standing in line right next to people sitting in the tables trying to enjoy their treat. A little more space would do wonders for the dining-in experience. The workers all adorn colonial costumes and they look amazing. They were very friendly and helpful too...letting us sample a few flavors we didn't try previously. The flavor selection so far is not as deep as the Utah location we visited...we asked about a few flavors that they 'did not have delivered yet'. However...there's still a lot of flavors to choose from! Their ice cream is high quality and very creamy...no ice or air. Nut allergy warning: While they cannot guarantee no cross-contamination of their nut flavors with nut free flavors, they do accommodate using a different/clean scoop and will also use ice cream in the back if necessary. The decor and ornamentation on the walls is all very fun! You have old photos, guns, maps and more. They even reproduced old-timey photos and put ice cream into them...nice touch! If your kids get out of line...you can put them in the stocks in the corner as public torture...or you can just get a fun photo...up to you! Overall, Brooker's is a good place to transport back 250 years to enjoy some ice cream!

    I love everything about Brookers Ice cream. The flavors are cleverly named and quite delicious. I've had 3 flavors thus far. John Hancock's Signature Mint Truffle is my current favorite. The decorations and memorabilia are accurate, and the ambiance of American history is wonderfully conveyed. The service was superb, friendly, and offered a wide range of choices. It's a great place to visit.

    Just visited a new Ice Cream shop with a founding father's routine. It felt perfect for the 4th of July weekend with all of the 1776 style decorations. What a cool place. They even had an original recipe from Thomas Jefferson made with a custard style base. The flavors I tried were awesome. I am a HUGE coconut fan so went with the Shoe Leather of Valley Forge. It was excellent so brought home a pint for my Cherry Galette desert tomorrow. I also tried the honeycomb which was also excellent but had to go with the coconut with coconut cookie in the mix. Very clean and fascinating decorations. The ice cream is made with premium high fat cream and it is rich but not too sweet. The servers were very friendly.

    The decorations are spot on perfect! The staff uniforms are awesome! We came about an hour before closing on their grand opening weekend and there was a decent line. Service with a smile kept everyone happy and they kept things moving, we waited about 15 minutes from just inside the door. I got the mint chocolate chip, my wife got the honey comb and my son had a vanilla shake. Everything tasted delicious. The items all have fun names, I just forgot what they all were. Serving sizes were generous, borderline too much even. It's good and bad that they are located in our usual area because we will be there more than we should be I'm sure!

    From the moment I stepped in, I immediate transported back to the American Revolutionary war. I love all the historical puns and decor. I got the Paul Revere flavor: chocolate with cookies and cream. It was delicious! The chocolate was very rich and creamy and the best part is it's not too sweet. They also have some seasonal flavors. The staff were really nice and friendly. The place has plenty of seatings outside and inside.

I've tried 2 out of the 6 and they are Great! Friendly fast service! Come enjoy the great shakes! Sundeas anf chocolate candies. They even have nondairy! Great place! Enjoy any time and watch for specials also!

    Have seen the advertising for this place and we decided to come for dessert after dinner elsewhere…read more Was excited and all of had previewed the menu prior to coming in. The shop itself is clean and cutely decorated. Love the story of how this fun concept was created and learned that they are franchised in several other states as well. Staffing was young people, friendly and smiling as we took our time to order...even though we had previewed the menu, you always have to take time to reread everything once in the store! Three of us are banana fiends and as soon as one of us ordered the Bananas Foster, we were told they didn't have any bananas. One of the young men shared that they had been out of them for a few days and when their order was delivered the day before, still no bananas. After noticing that there are four or five different options that use bananas, it was odd that the crew didn't figure out another way to get bananas. One of our group said aloud, "wonder about getting some petty cash out of the till and going over to the supermarket to purchase some?" No response, just a repeat that we wouldn't be able to order anything that had bananas in it. Ok, so I am a big strawberry/banana fan and I had to pivot and ended up ordering a chocolate malt. Two others also order the chocolate malt, and I'm glad they got theirs first because they both said it didn't taste like malt was in it, just chocolate. I asked for a double scoop of malt in mine and the outcome was perfect with a nice malt flavor. So if ordering the malt, go for double scoop! Wife had the Hot Fudge Brownie Sundae and she enjoyed it. She said the vanilla ice cream had a great, strong vanilla flavor and although the hot fudge wasn't "hot", it was a good dish she said. We had one other situation occur while there: One friend had ordered a malt without whip cream. The young man making it squirted a ton of whip cream on the top and when she reminded him no whip, he took his gloved hand and removed the whip cream from the top of the drink, put the lid on and called it good. What???? And then I also had sad no whip and as mine was being made, a squirt of whip was added and when he realized it was no whip, he used the lid of the container to remove the tad of whip from the top. What??? These two situations along with the banana fiasco equates to a three star rating from me. Overall it was a fun experience but obviously the crew could use some additional training as well as figuring out how to go around the system when something as important as bananas aren't in your order. Go buy some from the store!

The…read morearea is a nice place to walk around and we got lucky and found a parking spot right in front. The store is located down a hallway and has lots of seating outside. We ordered the Dough Melt with Biscoff and the Leslie Knope with Butter Pecan. The donut was good but would have been better if it was warm. We are used to Afters who puts their donut in a press to warm it. The Biscoff ice cream was like a vanilla with cookie mixed in. I was expecting a more Biscoff forward flavor. The Leslie Knope had a 7 minute wait because they had to make the waffle. I liked that the waffle was warm but it got hard and cold quickly with the ice cream. It wasn't fluffy at all and I think by waiting I was expecting a fresh waffle, but it seemed to be more of a frozen waffle placed in a toaster. It was also more difficult the eat the waffle sandwich vs the donut sandwich. We ended up biting the waffle and using a spoon for the ice cream. The butter pecan ice cream had good flavor but was nothing special. Definitely recommend the Dough Melt over the Leslie Knope, and the Butter Pecan over the Biscoff. An additonal star because the service was friendly and she offered to answer questions as we were indecisive since it was our first time there. However, we probably won't be back as there are many ice cream options closer to us in Gilbert that have better quality ice cream that is creamier and smoother, and more variety of flavors.

    Scoop, scoop, hooray! I'm the 400th review for this business on Yelp…read more Since trying Handel's at previous Yelp events, I've had on my radar to try at one of their locations. Especially since my boyfriend loves ice cream. Today we made a lunch date when he was visiting town, complete with ice cream to cool us down on this warm July day in Arizona. We opted to eat in my car with air conditioning, though they have bench seating outside. In cooler months, I'm sure that seating is nice to sit at to enjoy your treat. What We Ordered: - Monkey Business scoop in a dipped waffle bowl: My boyfriend throughly enjoyed and said it was very banana forward; which is a plus for him. I personally hate banana, so he had something for once that I didn't take a girlfriend bite out of. - S'mores scoop in a dipped waffle bowl: Very interesting to have the base be graham cracker, but I really enjoyed. Love the little chocolate bits to add a crunch as you eat, though the mini marshmallows have a weird texture to me. Still a solid scoop, and I'll try other flavors when we return. Definitely looking forward to the location opening on Signal Butte, but glad we didn't wait until that opened to try. Delicious and I'm sure I'll visit the new location opening by my house.

    We've been to several Handel's locations over the years, and unfortunately, this was by far our…read moreleast favorite. First, the location itself is very small and cramped inside, and there isn't any outdoor seating, which made it difficult to enjoy our ice cream. The biggest disappointment here was the customer service. My friend ordered a milkshake for her two toddlers to share and politely asked if the extra half could be poured into a second cup. The employee had to ask the manager, who immediately said no. My friend explained that other Handel's locations have happily done this before, and even offered to pay for the extra cup. The manager still refused and told her she'd have to purchase two separate milkshakes instead. The request wasn't for extra product--just a second cup for two small children to share. What made the experience worse was the manager's attitude. She came across as rude and dismissive rather than trying to help find a reasonable solution. We understand that every location has its own policies, but customer service goes a long way. Unfortunately, between the cramped space and the poor experience with the manager, we won't be returning to this location.
