    Coffee chocolate chip ice cream
    Morgan A.

    From the moment I walked up to the counter, the atmosphere felt warm, inviting, and just happy. The staff greeted me right away with genuine smiles. The ice cream itself was unreal. I got two scoops of the coffee chocolate chip ice cream. You can tell they really care about quality ingredients. The texture was perfectly creamy too. I'll definitely be coming back!

    What a cute place to grab a sweet treat! Moving from California, I've never heard of Bruster's before. Seeing it one time while driving by, I definitely wanted to try it. I love how there's a drive thru, it makes it much more convenient when you have kids or dogs in the car. We got the medium sundae to share, and I think this was a cheaper alternative than getting two separate cones (it was about $8). We got birthday cake, cookie dough, and strawberry matcha. It was tough to choose the flavors when they have such a large array of choices. The flavor was great, and we even got a waffle bowl to enjoy with it. Highly recommend if you're looking for quick dessert!

    I'd seen such great reviews for Brusters everywhere that I had to give it a try. Alas, my experience wasn't anything outstanding. I've had better ice creams in the area. They have tons of options and sundaes to choose from, which is great. And I love that their ice cream cones, come with a holder which is very thoughtful. However, the ice cream was way too sweet for me. There's only outdoor seating plus a drive through as well, so no ambience as such. The people who helped us were really sweet. So great service. However I didn't like my chocolate ice cream as much!

    My daughter and I love coming here lately. They have lots of flavors to choose from and a drive through which makes it easy! They do have outside seating if you are brave enough to sit out during the summer! lol

    We had Bruster's back in PA where they started and were so excited to try one out here. It was great as usual. The chocolate was delicious. I tried the mixed berries cheesecake with graham which was also delicious.

    Next time I'm bringing my pup!!! They have a really cute outdoor patio area with tables and chairs and a few branches on the other side so it's really spacious for families or enjoying with your pup. The staff is super friendly and they let you sample the flavors. If you download their app you earn points and discounts. I'm a chocolate fanatic and this was delish!! Next time I'm going to try the banana split!!

    Delicious ice cream with plenty of flavors and topping options. You can walk up and order or go through the drive-in for convenience! They don't have an inside but they do offer an outdoor seating space equipped with misters. Fun fact, they are dog friendly and offer pup treats for our furry friends!

    Getting a scoop of ice cream is such a great way to cool off on a hot day. We stopped by to check…read moreout the shops in this cute little alley way and grab a sweet treat. The options they offer are a lot of fun! You can get ice cream inside of a donut, in a cone, in a bowl or get the Lesli Knope and get your ice cream between two waffles. They have about twelve flavors of ice cream, but they are packed with flavor. I picked out the cookie monster and it was amazing! It had big chunks of cookies in it and was full of flavor. We were all pretty happy with our ice cream and the prices weren't bad either.

Now that they have a Mesa location, it is a little more convenient for me, as I currently live in Chandler. Even with the different locations, the high-quality product remains intact. I like the location of Mesa Novel Ice Cream because not only is there a lot to do nearby, but it is also a nice area to walk around when it is not too hot outside. There is also a nice coffee shop just a little walk away from the shop. The service at both locations is friendly, and every worker has been fun to talk to, especially when it is not busy and they have some time to spare. They are also happy to offer suggestions, whether it is ice cream flavors or delicious combinations that would pair well with their Dough Melt. While the vast majority of ice cream flavors complement the Dough Melt, the sorbets are hit and miss with the Dough Melt, but by themselves, their sorbets are some of the most refreshing sorbets you can have. I recommend Novel Ice Cream to anyone in the Mesa area; it has the best ice cream in Arizona, in my opinion. I also encourage everyone to try their Dough Melt at least once, as it is unbelievable.

    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.
