    My wife and kids love Handel's, so I know how good it is. I wasn't planning on getting anything this time for dietary reasons, but watching people walk out with cones while their cars charged was too much. I gave in. Peer pressure won. I had trouble deciding between three or four flavors but ended up with the Hurricane, fully loaded. Rich, creamy, and excellent. Every bite reminded me why people keep coming back. Yes, the prices are on the higher side, but the quality and flavor make it worth it. The place had great energy, the staff was moving quickly, and everyone seemed happy to be there. In the end, I left glad I gave in. Handel's is one of those spots where "just looking" turns into a scoop in your hand. Rating: 5 Stars

    On the way home from Hollywood, my friends were wanting dessert. I am not an ice cream lover. It doesn't love me, lol. They chose what they wanted, and I figured I would just try a bite of theirs. There was a line, but it moved quickly. I was able to try both of their treats, and they were definitely tasty. If I was a fan of ice cream, this is where I would go. 6/9/25

    This Flavor is not for the faint of heart.

    Everyone here was so kind and did such an awesome job that I had to reach out and say something. This was my first time at this establishment, and I had a whole boatload of questions. All my questions were answered and we had a wonderful time. If one employee or associate, didn't know the answer they called one of their colleagues over to find out what the answer was and so on and so forth with good banter, a pleasant conversation, all my questions or answered And I couldn't help but go back for seconds. Everything was nice and clean both inside and out. There were sticky messes to get stuck as you would expect with melted ice cream. Audry, Doug, Emily, Jack. I wanted to thank you each by name.

    It's amazing there is almost always a line whenever I visit so it must be good. And yes it's good. The line goes through very quickly and the choices are overwhelming but it's a good thing for ice cream. Everything is through the outside window. Even small size is substantial and the only reason for me to upsize to medium is to have 2 flavors instead of 1. The girl who helped me is friendly and had a great smile. The ice cream tastes great. I wouldn't say it's the best ice cream I've had but it's good enough to be called good. If you happen to be in the area it's a no brainer but I wouldn't driving a long distance to come here.

    My husband never had Handel's so after a day of Costco and other shopping, this was the perfect treat! The ice cream is so delicious. So many great flavors but the best part was the service, we loved Josiah! He is the best! He's the sweetest! Made our night!

    Where are the chips in my coffee chip?

    I've seen posts on social media about this ice cream place, and there is usually a line outside. I had to check it out. I came on a day where there was a short line. maybe 6 people in front of me. It's still took 25 minutes. Sunday, 1 pm, they have 6 service windows , but only two cashiers on windows,, One filling Door Dash orders. Understandably, they don't give samples. Too many flavors for that and indecisive customers. I decided on the four sampler for 7.99. This is standard ice cream, I think the hype is behind the varieties, milkshakes, scoops, cones, bowls and a 100 flavors. And now that Rite Aid is closed and the competitors are higher priced. I kinda get it. I probably will not return. Chocolate chip and coffee chip barely had chocolate chips. The chocoholic chocolate was loaded with chips. I can buy Thrifty ice cream in the store and check out faster. This did not taste homemade to me. I gave three stars because. Good ice cream. I don't think I've had bad ice cream. Overall, the flavor and scoops were basic to me. See my pics.

    This location is a pigsty, filthy, sticky ice cream and trash all over the concrete.

    OVERRATED!!!! This location is a pigsty! Filthy, sticky ice cream and trash all over the concrete. Flys on the counter, and concrete eating the sticky ice cream off the ground. Pictures attached ! Pathetic customer service and lackluster support! Rude, simply miserable employees who clearly do not enjoy working here. 100% A REFLECTION ON LEADERSHIP. This place is filthy!!! Why?? There's no trash cans out front. No where to deposit your trash. You have to walk in front of BevMo to find a trash can. This business cares about two thing and two things ONLY. TAKING YOUR MONEY AND MAKING THE MOST PROFIT POSSIBLE. NEXT ISSUE, Samples ??? Samples ???? HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND???? What Samples? Non existent, not a chance!!! This business WILL NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES provide one single drop of an ice cream sample. Mind you I spent over $60.00 for my entire family to enjoy a simple ice cream experience. A nice idea for a family visit on a warm day turned it a DISASTER COMING HERE. Our income will be spent, where we are appreciated and that is certainly not the location. I've enjoyed Handles Ice cream for years at several other locations and this one is lacking a heavy dose of employee training in manners and customer service! If you do not like your job JUST QUIT! The luster of this location will wear off soon as employees are driving customers away. Krispy Kream's went out of business for the exact same reason. You never have to worry about your competition because their customer support starts where yours leaves off !

    Cotton candy, New York cheesecake, brownie dough and coffee heath
    Patty G.

    The best ice cream I've had in Palmdale. I've been wanting to try handels for a long long time and finally I had the chance. The variety of the menu was amazing. SO many options to choose from as far as flavors and sundaes and everything The guy working was so friendly and helpful to me considering it was my first time. I opted with the sampler that way you can try different ones. The lines are long but they go by quick and I'll definitely be back because my ice cream was fantastic New York cheesecake and the cotton candy were my absolute favorite. Coffee heath was ok and so was the brownie dough

    Banana cream pie ice cream
    Karen G.

    I got the banana cream pie ice cream and it was so creamy. I enjoyed having the wafers in the ice cream it was a nice surprise. We waited a bit to place our order but it was worth it. They have a huge menu of ice cream flavors to pick from. They don't have any outdoor sitting.

    A Sweet Spot for Delicious Ice Cream and Unforgettable Memories We stumbled upon Handel's Homemade Ice Cream by chance while stopping at the Tesla charging station nearby, and it's become a beloved spot for our family. The kids absolutely love it! The ice cream is always soft, fresh, and bursting with flavor. Each order is made when you arrive, which makes it feel extra special. The portions here are generous--so big that you might not even finish your order in one go! It's perfect for sharing with someone or taking home for a later treat. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the place is spotlessly clean--both inside and out. Although you can't go inside the building where the workers prepare the ice cream, the setup is charming. You can see all the fridges with flavors through the windows, and orders are taken and handed out from service windows, almost like being at a theme park. There's plenty of parking available, which is super convenient, but keep in mind that the area can be a bit dark at night. Adding more lighting would make it feel safer and more inviting for evening visitors. One small downside is the lack of a designated seating area where families can safely sit and enjoy their ice cream. It would be wonderful if the area had accommodations for people to relax and savor their treats. As a bonus, there's a BevMo next door for anyone wanting to grab a quick drink to take home afterward. This place will forever hold a special place in my heart because it's where my fiancé proposed--over ice cream! He was so nervous but still bent the knee, making a sweet moment even sweeter. If you're looking for delicious ice cream with great service, Handel's is a must-visit. Not only is the ice cream incredible (and in huge portions!), but it also might just become the backdrop for one of your life's most cherished memories, as it did for me.

They are very patient, and usually makes the drinks pretty quickly. The decor, I think is really well thought of ( it is a little plain, but has a very clean sleek look to it)

I get it's a small location but what's the point of having the self-order machines if the staff seems overwhelmed anyways (they don't take your orders here, unless you have to ask?) In the past I've come and they've had some younger folks working here (seemed like they didn't care about their job much). They were at least faster than whoever this newer, older lady is. It's only ever one lady working on her own every time I come in. She's always reading the recipes to make the drinks which slows her down a ton. Doesn't know the recipes I guess... Today I even downloaded the app knowing this place takes long. I ordered ahead at 12:03, says it should've been ready at 12:18pm. I came in at 12:20 and my drink wasn't ready. However, she was working on another online order (a girl who came to pick up at the same time as me) and another person walked in and ordered soon after. She's backed up but it still shouldn't take this long for boba... I asked around 12:28pm getting impatient because I have to go back to work if my order was ready since she gave the other girl part of her order. She asked what it was and I explained it was an online order that should've been ready 10 minutes ago. She told me she barely received it and I told her that wasn't true, I placed the order at 12:03. She continued trying to play it off and said she just got my order and that she was working on another online order. My order wasn't ready until 12:38, 20 minutes past the time it was supposed to be. When I explained that I ordered ahead of time because I have somewhere to be, she gave me an attitude. Disheartening that she couldn't just own up to not having my order ready. She ended up upgrading my drink to an XL instead of a L but it wasn't really worth it in the time I waited. It was also very sweet when I ordered 50% rather than 75 or 100. Also, the online ordering is useless because they take long regardless. If you want quick service like boba cafes should be, this isn't the place. The only reason I give them two stars is because the drinks taste decent (most of the time).

It's not surprising they were winners of Cupcake Wars because their cupcakes actually live up to the hype. They have a great variety of flavors, but my personal favorites are cookies and cream, cookie dough, and their cannolis. I've tried cupcakes from plenty of other places, but they're often too dry, too sweet, or too plain for my liking. Nadia Cakes somehow gets the balance right every time. I also appreciate that they offer gluten-free, dairy-free, and keto cupcake options, plus dog treats, which is such a cute bonus. They're also excellent with custom orders. For my husband's 30th birthday, I ordered a custom Nacho Libre cake from them and it turned out beautifully. Even better, it tasted just as good as it looked. It was definitely pricey, but considering the quality, flavor, and detail of the work, I thought it was absolutely worth it. My only tiny wish is that they served hot drinks so people could enjoy coffee or tea with their treats. Thankfully, there's a Coffee Bean right next door, so that problem basically solves itself. Overall, Nadia Cakes is a solid 5/5 for me; delicious cupcakes, beautiful custom cakes, and consistent quality.

Walking in, you're warmly greeted by the associates and by the smell of pastries. There are plenty of cupcakes to choose from and there are several cake selections that are available too! Ended up getting a mini-cupcake and a cake, the former was an opportunity to taste one of their product. It was delicious! We had the cake later that evening, and while it was small in size, it made a big impression! Everyone who had it, including myself, enjoyed the moist and perfectly sweet strawberry and cream cake. And we got a kick of the cute decor that was inspired by a popular meme. I will definitely be visiting this amazing spot in the future!
