Out running errands and it's getting hot in Phoenix. I decided I deserve some ice cream. Tried this new place, got the wedding cake and chocolate chip cookie dough with chocolate syrup on top. It was very good. Nice and rich and creamy. I look forward to trying more flavours and I think next time I will omit the chocolate syrup, which I *never* do, to let the ice cream speak for itself. They do not have indoor seating but the outdoor seating is in shade and there are lots of misters, it was perfectly acceptable at 102 degrees. read more

They greatly prioritize online orders over walk-ups. There were about seven workers in there but even though there was only one couple in front of us, they waited a good 10 minutes to even place their order in the walk up line. If you get ice cream there, don't walk up, make sure you order online because it'll take a long time to get your ice cream. Not a good place for an impromptu ice cream trip. Also make sure they get your order right, because we ask for a cone and we got a cup. Ice cream is meh qualiy. Not impressed. read more

Wow if you've not tried Bruster's, please do! The Chandler location is a drive thru/outdoor window order. They have a large seating area to the east or the building with round group table/chair setup and misters for summer/heaters for winter. The menu is overwhelming and so are the flavor options. They e got several kid menu items, and kids under 40" get a scoop free. My kiddos loved their dino sundae which had a literal cookie shaped like a dinosaur. I had a single waffle and omg it was huge! Two scoops was larger than I expected! Even my husbands small scoop in a cup was a lot of ice cream! I had the peanut butter Reese and there was large chunks of candy! So yum! Unisex restrooms are accessible from the patio area and ample private parking. You can sample flavors and they even have pints and ice cream cakes. read more

Give this place a try for Your ice cream craving. Easy drive through lots of flavors that change daily from what I understand. I had a medium 24oz Blast with M&M's my usual goto at all the ice creams places. Not impressed with the prices but I guess that's going to be the standard these days. $8.20 total without tip. A little over blended so was almost warm if that's possible with ice cream. I'll be back to try other flavors in the small size and in a cup or cone next time. read more

Here for the vegan-friendly oat milk ice cream. Whaaaa. Drove 25-30 minutes to get my hands on some of the dairy free flavors they had... which was 4, but ended up getting three of the four flavors. Mint Chip * Cookies & Cream * Peanut Butter Oreo. All were amazing. The staff was very friendly. They stay pretty busy, so if you're in a hurry, you'll have to be patient or plan a time to go when they're not so busy... maybe mornings. Drive thru is a plus for the hot summer months in the valley of the sun. Thanks for having such great and tasty vegan-friendly options. GO GET YOU SOME! read more

Two scoops in a cone that was so soft it would never stay in a cone. And the person working the drive thru was only focused on advising us that there was an option for a tip. Butter Pecan was vanilla with a lot of whole pecans but hubby said taste was bland. Mine was Boston Crème Pie. The flavor was ok but it was so melted I had to throw half away. read more

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.

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.

So many wonderful options! The icecream was so smooth and flavorful, the waffle cones were fresh, and I love that they had heaters in the outdoor seating area so it was a comfortable visit for a chilly night! read more

The second we opened the door, the incredible smell of freshly made waffle cones wrapped around us like a warm, heavenly hug. Seriously, that smell alone will get you! We sampled several ice cream flavors, but my absolute favorite was the Honey Lavender. You can taste the sweetness of the honey with just the perfect touch of lavender--so creamy and delicious.

The menu featured a blend of traditional flavors and unique combinations. After trying a few samples I settled on a split scoop of the chocolate gooey brownie and the sea salt with caramel ribbon. Ultimately I liked the chocolate gooey brownie better. When i visit again I also I will be more adventurous in sampling more of the more non traditional flavors. I would definitely recommend this to any fan of ice cream as the ice cream itself was creamy and flavorful.

Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams

Located in the busy San Tan Village Shopping Center is Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams. But is it really…read moresplendid? My boyfriend embarked on the journey with me to see if it was in fact splendid; though, I've been for a Yelp event previously and knew it was. He's an ice cream lover, so he'd be the true critic. What We Ordered: ~ Standard (Milkiest Chocolate + Honey Vanilla Bean: Two flavors that I've before and safely eaten. Due to my peanut and tree nut allergy, I have staff scoop separately so I try to stick to what I know. Very grateful they do this to avoid cross contamination. If you like milk chocolate ice cream, Jeni's has some of my favorite! ~ Signature in Waffle Cone (Darkest Chocolate, Sweet Cream Biscuits & Peach Jam, and Brambleberry Crisp): My boyfriend's selection, and he remarked that all three flavors were really good. Ultimately, his favorite was Sweet Cream Biscuits & Peach Jam due to the peach taste being very present. It paired very nicely with the sweet cream biscuits. A great savory and sweet combination. This shop is pretty quaint with four seats, and some benches with an umbrella outside. Definitely more of a grab-n-go spot, though we were able to grab a seat to enjoy. Definitely a great location for a little treat if shopping in the area, or even having a date night. You can't go wrong with ice cream!

We popped in for a couple of scoops after becoming fans of Jeni's from the grocery store. One thing…read moreI would have liked to see was a larger selection of dairy-free flavors--there were only two options available during our visit. We ended up trying the Dairy-Free Peppermint Patty and the House Coffee flavors, and both were delicious. The Peppermint Patty had a rich chocolate flavor with just the right amount of mint, while the House Coffee delivered a smooth, satisfying coffee taste. The scoop sizes were a bit smaller than I expected for the price, but the quality of the ice cream was excellent. The staff was also very friendly and welcoming, happily offering samples to help us decide. Overall, a tasty treat with great customer service. I'd love to see a few more dairy-free choices on the menu, but we'd definitely stop in again.

Handel's Homemade Ice Cream

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.

The ice cream is incredibly creamy, full of flavor, and perfectly balanced--not overly sweet, just right. They offer a wide assortment of unique flavors, and my personal favorite is the Dubai Chocolate. It's packed with pieces of chocolate, pistachios, and even crispy kunafa pieces throughout. Every single bite is loaded with texture and flavor--it's like having a rich dessert in ice cream form! What really sets them apart is that the flavors actually taste like what they're named. My sister got the lychee flavor and I got my husband one of their pistachio ice creams, and both were just as impressive. I also tried samples of rose and green guava, and every flavor was spot on--and surprisingly delicious! Don't let some of the names scare you off--you'd truly be missing out. This was my second visit, and I already know I'll be a regular. The owner even came out to greet us, which was such a nice, personal touch. The staff was just as amazing--friendly, welcoming, and happy to help with samples. On top of all that, the prices are extremely reasonable for the generous portions you get. Highly recommend--this place is a hidden gem that won't stay hidden for long!

So it was exciting to see a franchise finally open in Gilbert at the Basha shopping complex. The place itself is pretty small with limited seating, so if you go with a group or during peak hours, finding a place to sit can be tough. We went on Mother's Day with the kids and it was absolutely packed, so we ended up taking everything to-go. They have a wide variety of flavors, including Indian-inspired ones like Gulab Jamun, Mango, Pistachio, Dubai Chocolate, and several fruit-based flavors and ice creams. A small cup is around $5, which feels pretty average for the area. I tried the Butterscotch. While it wasn't exactly like the iconic flavor from India, the texture was spot on and the flavor was still really good. My kids got the Alphonso Mango and Tutti Frutti. I personally didn't love the Tutti Frutti because it tasted a bit artificial compared to the one in India, which is much better in my opinion. Nevertheless, this place definitely gives that "home away from home" feeling. Perfect for Arizona summers and a nice nostalgic stop for anyone missing Indian-style ice cream.
