    After enjoying some delicious BBQ, we searched for ice cream nearby and were so happy to find a Handel's close by! We usually go to the Rancho location, so we had no idea there was one in Glendora. The service was friendly, and as always, the ice cream was absolutely delicious. There are so many flavors to choose from, it's hard to decide! The outdoor seating area is also really nice. Plenty of space to relax, hang out, and enjoy your ice cream.

    Peppermint Bark Ice Cream, Plain Waffle Cone
    Rebekah M.

    The perfect spot for a post-movie "snack and discuss" as it's right next door to AMC. The employees are friendly and welcoming. Service is quick. It is a walk-up establishment with no interior for guests, but there are plenty of outdoor seating options. Parking is available in the shared public lot or in the center's garage. Noise level stays pretty moderate - it honestly just depends on how many families with children are present. There are so many options, from ice cream cones to milk shakes and banana splits, and there are enough flavor options to satisfy even a picky eater. The seasonal peppermint bark ice cream is easily a new favorite! The ice cream is smooth in texture and true to its flavor name. Prices are fair, especially in comparison to other ice cream shops and when you consider the generous size of their scoops. My medium cone was $8, which sounds like a lot, but it was literally the size of my head and was difficult for two people to finish. 10/10 recommend. There's a reason they've been around so long.

    medium ice cream - lemon bar and graham central station
    Van D.

    Ice cream is the perfect dessert on a hot summer night. My boyfriend and I came to Handel's in Glendora after we had dinner nearby. There was a really long line that wrapped a few times, but to their credit, they were well staffed and the lines moved quite efficiently. The small ($7) only came with one flavor so my boyfriend and I decided on the medium ($8) in order to get 2 flavors. We got the Lemon Bar with the Graham Central Station and the flavors were very complementary. Yum. The cashier was a bit silly cause he put in one spoon. I had to ask for a second spoon. Ice cream is so pricey these days. Back when I was in high school my local Handles had $1 scoop on a designated day of the week. Those days are long gone. Inflation is real! On a positive note, this location of Handles actually has a lot of outdoor seating, so even though they were busy we were able to get seating at a table. Overall a positive experience, and a sweet way to end date night.

    Well what do you know? Tracking my steps back a few days ago- tag along with my daughter to cool down. Went To Handel's homemade ice cream and got the best of the best homemade ice cream you'll ever have!

    Delicious times at Glendora Marketplace. Handel's Homemade Ice Cream is here. So happy and excited! They open every day at 12:00 PM and close at 10:00 PM. That's 10 hours of delightful ice cream! I came here one afternoon. It's right next door to AMC. Perfect location. Lots of outside seating... some has cover... some does not. Young lady who helped me was very nice and pleasant. I got to sample some flavors before buying. I usually go for the Sampler that comes with 4 flavors. It's the best choice at an extraordinary value for less than $8. I wanted to try some new flavors. Got 4 different ones. Wow, huge scoops! My kind of sampler LOL. Coconut Cream Pie - smooth operator Coconut Pineapple - very tropical Monkey Business - banana cake batter ice cream, caramel ripple, and brownie pieces, this was okay Watermelon Ice - refreshing, perfect on a hot day Exceptional ice cream at extraordinary prices! Always great staff and quick service. Can't go wrong with Handel's. Thank you!!

    Delicious ice cream flavors --- coconut cream pie was absolutely delicious but dang it was melting super fast. Their portions are ridiculously big and certainly make your peepers go big at first glance. Excellent place for dessert. You just need to eat your ice cream quick.

    Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie ($8 - Medium - Waffle Bowl) - "It's a lot of ice cream."
    Ian A.

    I recommend Handel's (Glendora). I ordered the Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie (Waffle Bowl - Medium - $8). It's about four generous scoops! Big!! I arrived at Handel's (Glendora) on Thursday (around 8:20PM). Service is quick and welcoming. Staff recommended the Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie. My order arrived extremely quickly (less than 90 seconds). The ice cream had a rustic, messy look. It's not picturesque and sleek like other ice cream joint scoops. But Handel's (Glendora's) dedication to quality and "never skimping" their scoops is apparent. It's a lot of ice cream. The most notable, unique feature of the Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie ice cream will be the brownie chunks. I appreciated how the brownie chunks tasted fresh and soft. The brownie was not icy; rather, its velvet texture added a welcomed dimension to the ice cream. Concerning the Ice Cream itself, it's very standard. The ingredients tasted of good quality, but the ice cream is that familiar, nostalgic taste. Surprisingly, the quality of the waffle bowl had impressed me. The waffle bowl tasted crisp and very fresh. Its flavor and consistency reminded me of a fresh, tasty graham cracker. Handel's (Glendora's) location is somewhat hidden from the main plaza's parking lot. But it's very visible to AMC (Glendora) visitors since it's near the movie theater's doors. Handel's (Glendora) has plenty of clean outdoor seating. There's plenty of shade from the set-up canopy, and it's well lit for the evening with its twinkling lights. I also enjoyed the cheerful Handel's Glendora Art Mural. Overall, Handel's (Glendora) offers large amounts of quality ice cream at competitive prices. Its ingredients and quick service shine brightly. If nearby, I recommend. 4.5 out of 5

    Chocolate raspberry truffle and strawberry cheesecake chunk
    Melanie B.

    The strawberry cheesecake chunk never misses! and the chocolate raspberry truffle has definitely become a new favorite

    Birthday cake waffle cone
    Jessica T.

    I ordered the birthday cake flavor single scoop ice cream with the waffle cone and it came out to be $7. It was larger than expected! The worker was really friendly. Service was quick. The shop is located at part of the plaza that doesn't not get much foot traffic so you might not even know it's there.

    I don't even know what to say, the ice cream at Handels is incredible! Delicious and creamy flavors. I was determined to get to one of their locations since we don't have one in SLO county. The cashier was so patient w us and helpful too. This spot is only order at window / to go. Located in a strip mall near IMAX Not sure if this is how they all set up. We all love Handel's . They don't skimp THANK YOU ! A nice variety of ice cream dessert choices shakes, cones, in bowl and more.

    Graham Central Station and Vanilla on a Waffle Cone.
    Peter E.

    I remember the first time I tried Handels based on a co-worker's recommendation. That day, I left ALL other Ice Cream shops in the rearview! Handels knows how to get it done!! Their ice cream flavors are exactly what they say they are, no guessing what it will taste like, if it says banana cream pie, it tastes like banana cream pie! I got a scoop of the Graham Central Station and Vanilla on a Waffle Cone. WOOOO, so good! Definitely a sugar rush, but well worth it!! If you haven't tried Handel's Ice Cream yet, what are you waiting for? They have a ton of flavors to choose from, and their menu also includes shakes, hurricanes, sundaes, and ice cream bars. Something for everyone. so go, like, NOW! LoL

    Erica E.

    Pretty straightforward ordering with the cashier at the front. A lotttt of options and ways to get the different flavors of ice cream (shakes, cups, cones, taster etc.) there's plenty of outdoor tables near the ordering counter, with shade! It was super windy and kind of cold the day we went, but that doesn't stop us haha My husband and I got the 4 scoop option because it was our first time!! We got Handels for dessert after eating dinner. The menu has rotating flavors (not sure how often it changes), but we got ube, pistachio, horchata, and green tea! My favorites were definitely the ube and horchata.

    Brittney S.

    SO HAPPY. We have been to the locations in the South Bay so very happy Handel's made its way to Glendora. SO many flavors, tried the Rocky Road as a milkshake and it was delicious. Lots of area to sit and eat, great for a date night.

    Kids comes!

Originally, when I placed the order, I asked for a regular chocolate dipped Oreo twister with hot fudge on top. Not blended in. I also ordered a cone in a cup. This was what I received. The Conan a cup that I received came chocolate dipped cone less. When I tried to explain that I wanted a cone, she told me that it was extra to which I replied. I already paid for the cone. Not sure if this business is hurting for Money but honestly, I'm getting to a point where I'd rather just take my money elsewhere. Why not just go to handles and buy a flight for the same price.? the customer service is way more friendly as well.

You can taste your heart out as every flavor is temping and made of fresh natural ingredients. Definitely one of the best ice cream shops that i have come across and probably I think the best in SoCal. This place makes Handels look like baskin Robbin's and makes others like after and salt & straw look commercialized. Because this guy is crafting the ice cream that he knows the people want and takes ultra pride in his product. A must visit place - located at the end of old town Covina that is also worth a visit to dine at and walk around. I'm coming back for a beer float on their patio and to pick up one of their cool tshirts. They also sell by the pint. This is ice cream heaven at its best!

The restaurant is clean, modern, and has vibrant colors when you enter. The customer service was friendly, professional, and efficient. I ordered the Pumpkin Pie Crepe and the Turkish Coffee to go along with it. There was a little bit of a wait, but I didn't mind since there was only one person working. The Pumpkin Pie Crepe tasted exactly like a pumpkin pie, as expected. However, it wasn't too sweet and had more of a real pumpkin flavor that pair very nicely with the pecans and caramel drizzle. The crepe was cooked perfectly and held together nicely with all the other ingredients. The portion size was large and could be shared between two people. It didn't exactly blow me away, but I appreciated the fact that it tasted like I was eating a pumpkin pie without the over sweetness. The Turkish Coffee was okay in my opinion, but it could be because I'm not used to it. Creamer and sugar packets are provided. The coffee alone was very bold and almost had a burnt taste, but not in a bad way; bringing out the flavor of the coffee beans more. I think if flavors of the coffee were offered then it would definitely be a favorite. My partner tried the frozen yogurt and she enjoyed it very much. The serving size was large as well, enough for two-three people. Overall, I enjoyed my experience. To my knowledge, no military nor first responder discount offered.

Staff is professional and helpful. Staff worked quickly, and staff answered all my questions. Line went very fast despite a group being ahead of me. As mentioned, I ordered the Medium Cup (2 Scoops - $8). I selected a milk chocolate scoop and a cookies-flavored scoop. Portion sizes are fair and adequate for its quality. The flavors are delicious. The milk chocolate scoop reminded me of rich, dark chocolate milk. Its consistency felt very velvety, and its strong chocolate flavor almost teetered towards chocolate brownie territory. The cookie-flavored scoop was very tasty as well. This scoop flowed smoothly, and I happily enjoyed the soft cookie chunks within. This had a milder taste, but it felt very satisfying. This gelato was not icy; rather, it had delightful flavors while flowing like chilled silk. Concerning ambiance, Il Gusto (West Covina) shows genuine effort. The location is very clean and well-ventilated (refreshingly chill). I also enjoyed the Elvis Presley music. However, the music was occasionally drowned out from the loud electronic buzzing/humming sounds from the kitchen's containers. Also, some portions of the walls and floors looked scuffed with black marks. Il Gusto (West Covina) is also fairly small. It has three reflective tables inside; customer-only restroom; and three nearby shaded tables outside. Overall, I had a pleasant experience at Il Gusto (West Covina).
