Located in Hasting Ranch, in the same plaza as Best Buy and Nordstrom Rack. Plenty of parking in the lot. Pros: service is quick & fast, very generous portion for a small size and cost, lots of different flavors, there is seating outside near the fountain and in the back area of the shop, Cons: the ice cream is very sweet in comparison to other ice cream shops in the area.
We were craving some ICE CREAM since it was a hot and warm evening! My husband said this Handel's location is particularly very good. So he brought me to check out!!... 2 SCOOPS: 10/10 My husband got the Dulce de leche and Rocky Road. He ALWAYS gets the BIGGER SCOOPS of ice cream. I don't know why? 2 SCOOPS: 8:10 I ordered a large cup as well but it came in a medium size cup. I got the TARO & STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE flavors. The ice cream scoops were smaller and it was tilted like the leaning tower of PISA!!! AMBIANCE: 8/10 reminded me of DISNEYLAND! There's always a line but, ice cream does taste per pretty good... I would definitely recommend it if you're in AREA!! KEEP IT UP HANDEL'S HOMEMADE ICE CREAM!!!
One of my favorite places to get icecream (be warned it is pretty sweet). The lines are long but it goes by really fast. Ample seating and the service is always top notch. You can ask for any of their flavors to try which they have about 10000 of. There's so many options that it become paralyzing to choose from. I always get the flight since it allows me to try 4 flavors at once, and if I can't finish it I put it on the freezer. The regular scoops also have caps so if you don't finish you can save in the freezer for next time. The sizes of the scoops are huge! You can probably share a single scoop and still be satisfied. My favorite flavors are definitely gram central station (graham cracker taste with chunks of it in the Ice cream) and business which is banana cake with caramel and brownie pieces!) They also have icecream for your doggos! It's a 10/10 every time. There's so many parking spots and lots of places to sit. The vibes are immaculate and you get a sense of community when everyone is sitting, standing, and talking eating thru ice cream. A truly wonderful experience where I get to escape and enjoy. They also open really late at night so if you have cravings it's the perfect spot!
Ice Cream is my favourite thing in the entire world and Handel's was a place I used to frequent when I lived in Las Vegas, so when we stumbled on this Handel's location in Pasadena, it was on like Donkey Kong. This location has two lines to order from, a nice cover for some shade, and some seating behind the restaurant to enjoy the ice cream. I ordered a scoop of the cookie monster (my absolute favourite flavour) and one of the chocolate something, I truly don't remember because it was seasonal but it was absolutely delicious as well. My one complaint with Handel's, is that you get the ice cream and then you pay.....ice cream melts, so as I stand there holding a cone and waiting patiently the cone is melting. The solution? every single ice cream place in the world should make you pay before you get the cone, it would make the entire problem go away. Moving on. Overall, Handel's of Pasadena is a fantastic ice cream spot serving fantastic ice cream. You really can't get much better then this.
Hands down the best praline pecan ice cream! If you are a fan of the thrifty's version, then the Handel's version will raise that bar even higher! It is incredible. WOW. The taste, the texture, and flavor really compliment one another better. I also tried the pistachio flavor, which is a nice option if you prefer something less sweet. One option I do highly recommend is the mango sorbet. OMGee is it amazing. It tastes just like you are eating a real mango. It's light, refreshing, and delicious. If you have an upcoming colonoscopy and need the perfect excuse to eat a whole pint of the mango sorbet here's your opportunity as it is something you can eat for the clear diet. Did I personally do this, absolutely! Do I have any regrets? Zero! It made the colonoscopy process more enjoyable and less stressful. The choice is yours, jello or Handel's mango sorbet.
I Went to pick up my nephew from school and he was telling me how well he did on his algebra test. I couldn't help but treat him to ice cream. I mean that's what aunts are for. Handel's is located close to his high school so we went right after school.. there were people in line but the turnaround went quick. This location has two ordering windows and a few outdoor seats. The service was great but we were a little bummed about this location not giving out samples. Located in the hasting ranch shopping complex there is pleasantly plenty of parking. Overall, memories were made and treats were devoured.
My wife and I came to get a nice dessert after dinner, hadn't been in a while, and was a nice treat. Line moved fast even though it was decently long. Th area was kept clean and they had trash cans located around the area. I ordered the Mudpie which was coffee, chocolate and Oreos. My wife had sticky fingers. I love coffee ice cream, but the sticky fingers won today. It was delicious. creamy peanut butter ice cream packed with a rich caramel ripple, fudgy brownie pieces, and chocolate truffles filled with sea salt caramel. We order small they were around $6 each.
Located inside a plaza where Old Navy, Chipotle, and Ulta is. There is a small lot that has a few spots for Chipotle and Handel's. We've been wanting to try this place, and we finally did that today. There is a door where you can go inside to order, but from what I've seen, guests have been ordering through their side windows. Rain or shine, there is always a line (today was raining). Their handmade ice cream can be made into pints, quarts, shakes, floats, sundaes, I believe I saw malts, or just a cup/cone combo. So many flavors and toppings to choose from. It was hard for me to choose! I chose to take home a pint of ice cream while having a scoop (which looked like two scoops) vanilla to enjoy. My husband ordered their mint chocolate shake. It was so bright and colorful when the staff member scooped it into the blender. It was so thick it was hard to slurp up the straw. They also have tables and chairs on the other side of the building where guests can sit and enjoy their dessert under an umbrella. We will be back!
You can never go wrong with any of the flavors at this sweet emporium. It was close to St. Patrick's day so I chose Mint with Oreo on a cake cone. Ordering one scoop is enough to satisfy cravings for any child or full grown adult. I love ordering the sundaes but held back because they are huge and can easily be shared.
What We Ordered: -Small Strawberry Cone $5.75 -Small Orange Dream Cream Cup $5.75 -Four Scoop Sampler $7.50 Graham Central Station, Buckeye, Mint Chocolate Chip and Monkey Business Some of the best ice cream we've had in a long time. I've been to Handel's before, at a different location in LA, and it wasn't a very enjoyable experience. I remember the staff wasn't friendly, there was a long line with only one cashier, and the rest of the staff were chatting. The service felt lackluster and inattentive. I also recall a customer cutting in line, which bothered me. I came to this location to give Handel's another chance, and I'm glad I did. I prefer the setup at this location compared to the other one I've been to. There's a crowd control barrier, so customers know where to wait. There are some seats near the water fountain, which is where most people sit, but there's also table seating on the other side of the building, if you know to look for it. We visited Handel's in Pasadena after a fun day at Kidspace with the family. We were craving ice cream and made the short trip over! My son is easily pleased as long as they have strawberry ice cream; it makes him a happy camper! We were a little concerned about him having too much cold stuff since he just got over a cold. We wanted a kids' size cone, but they don't offer that, unfortunately. The smallest size is a "small," and the portion is HUGE! It looked to be 3 scoops worth. My wife was battling a cold and worried about her blood sugar, so she swore off sugar for the day. Of course, that didn't last long! I offered her one last chance to get ice cream, and she ordered a small cup of Orange Dream Cream, which she loved. I read about the four-scoop sampler online and knew I had to get it! I even researched popular flavors on Yelp, Reddit, and Google. Yes, I'm a nerd like that! I prepared a list of four flavors, with backups in case they were out of season or sold out. I ended up choosing Graham Central Station, Buckeye, Mint Chocolate Chip, and Monkey Business. My wife and son also tried my four-scoop sampler and particularly liked Mint Chocolate Chip and Monkey Business. I liked all the flavors I ordered, and it would be hard to pick a favorite, but if I had to choose, it would be between Graham Central Station and Mint Chocolate Chip. All the ice cream tastes very fresh and delicious. My son gave it a 100/100 and really enjoyed his strawberry ice cream. Even my wife, who is usually very picky about ice cream and sweets, loved it! Handel's is definitely our new family favorite, and we'll be back for sure!
Had a great experience at Handel's Homemade Ice Cream! It's usually very crowded, but I happened to stop by when the line wasn't long, which made it even better. I ordered the Rocky Road, and it did not disappoint: rich, creamy, and loaded with chocolate and marshmallow goodness. The staff was friendly and gave great recommendations, suggesting I pair it with caramel. I gave it a try, and they were absolutely right it was a delicious combo. Service was good and efficient, even with the steady flow of customers. There's also plenty of convenient parking in the strip mall, with spots near Best Buy, Chipotle, and Nordstrom Rack, which makes it easy to swing by. Overall, a solid ice cream stop in Pasadena. Outdoor ambiance. Definitely worth the visit, especially if you catch it without a long line!

Stopped in for a sweet treat! Sooooo many flavors to choose from! Love the 4 flavor sampler for $8! That's a steal these days! Got the mocha almond fudge & snix for my bf. Got myself the black cherry & tried the mocha rocky blast but didn't like it so they exchanged or actually just gave me a scoop of the rocky road I asked in replace! Super sad they took out my number one choice: cherry cordial ! The girl at the register said it was one of her favorites too so she was bummed also haha bring it back please! (: The girl who took my order was super nice & sweet! Very yummy, I love Handels will definitely go back' read more

Ice-cream is always a great way to cool down from the hot, summer heat. This location has no indoor seating, but they do offer tables around the back. Lines can get long, but it moves along in a timely fashion. Employees there are friendly. I have no complaints. read more

my friend and i wanted ice cream and decided to stop by here - there wasn't that long of a line when we arrived around 4:00 PM - we got two medium dishes, one with one scoop chunky chocolate chip and one scoop mint with oreo and the other with just black cherry. all the ice cream flavors were rich and creamy. we actually didnt expect the medium to be pretty big so we'll learn for next time to get a smaller size. - the service was quick and efficient and they answered to our needs. overall, would love to come back here again to try their other ice cream flavors. read more

Perfect for a hot summer day! As the weather gets hot nothing better than to cool down with ice cream! This place is a walk up shop with no indoor seating but enough outdoor seating. Does get pretty busy so expected to wait in line if you come during usual busy hours. They have multiple flavors and combos you can get. They make ice cream and milkshakes as well. I enjoy getting their Oreo due to the big chunks that's are in them. It's usually hard to find Oreo ice cream that doesn't get overpowered by the vanilla flavor. Ice cream is super creamy and smooth with rich flavor without being overly sweet. Portions are huge and price is great! read more

Came on a Saturday afternoon and waited a few short minutes in line. Once we ordered it didn't take long for our flights to be ready. We got 2 flights so we tried 8 different flavors. We ate at one of the clean and available tables outside (opposite side of the building from the ordering window). The best ones were the oreo based flavors, although the monkey business (banana and brownie), butter pecan, vanilla caramel brownie, and horchata were very tasty too! The strawberry cheesecake had a strawberry compote thing and cheesecake cubes inside and the plain strawberry ice cream tasted more like a sorbet to me, not as creamy as I would have preferred. Overall very pleased with my visit. They do have vegan flavors (sorbet) and a sugar free/fat free flavor (vanilla caramel i believe). read more

I would definitely come back here to try new flavors. read more

We had a gift card so stopped by for some ice cream. This is order outside location but there are some tables with umbrellas in the rear. It's a really hot day but luckily the shade helps. We got the 4-scoop sampler which is a good option to try some flavors and feel like you got your money's worth. Only drawback is we don't know the ingredients of each flavor and had to ask the staff. Online you can see potential allergens, though we had to figure out the difference between cinnamon graham craker and graham central station. read more

All seating is outdoors but there were some benches and tables to sit at so that was nice. read more

Visiting from Denver and leaving a positive review. Wow! Thank you.
My favorite ice cream place!! I love this place compared to Baskin Robbin's or Codestone. Service is always top notch and I love the little windows and simple layout. There is additional seating behind the place so you can sit and enjoy your ice cream. The portion sizes are huge for the price in my opinion. I've tried the sundaes and banana splits and i always have to share it with 1-2 people to finish. My favorite flavors are the chocolate peanut butter brownie and strawberry cheesecake chunk. The ice cream has a more homemade feel compared to other ice cream places in the area so I definitely like Handel's better! I usually grab a pint or quart so I don't have to make trips to Pasadena everytime I want ice cream. There are so many different flavors and malts, shakes, type of ice cream items you can get! I wish they made ice cream cakes but oh well. My dog also really likes the little puppy ice cream item they have! read more

Handel's can be busy on a cold night and I'd still want ice cream after a meal to soothe my tastebuds. They have so many flavors to choose from. If you want a variety your best bet is the 4 scoop sampler pack. Essentially four large scoops into the tray to share there to take home. I typically get the waffle cone with two or three scoops and eat it with a spoon. They have so many different types of ice cream solutions for you. Like you can get shakes, sundaes, ice cream pops, pints or quarts, ice cream sandwiches. The staff are friendly and if you're lucky you get one that's super cool that'll give you a heap of ice cream to go. You order from a window and they get it ready for you then you pay and either eat around back on a seat or walk around in the center or take it to go. read more

Tried Handel's for the first time last night after hearing all the hype about it and it did NOT disappoint. This might just be my new favorite ice cream spot in socal. I love that you get a big portion and the prices are extremely reasonable. Service 10/10 - young adults working here but they are so polite and efficient. Sampler 10/10- this could be split between 2-3 people and is perfect for someone who wants to try many flavors. Only $7.50 and you get four scoops of your choice. Banana cream pie 10/10- if you love banana cream pie then you will most definitely love this ice cream, I wish it had a tab bit more crust in it but overall delicious. Heavenly hash 10/10 - I love the candy pieces in it. Sticky fingers 10/10 - this is for my butterfinger lovers. Perfect ratio of sweet, salty, and butterfingers Chunky monkey 8/10 - chocolate with banana Mud pie - 6/10 coffee with Oreos. It's good for the first three bites then I was over it. Buckeye 10/10 - vanilla ice cream, chocolate, and peanut butter cups. Delicious Parking - tons of parking Overall highly recommend trying this place out. read more

One of my favorite ice cream spots! Parking can be difficult since it's in a big plaza so the parking lot is shared with many other businesses! Service is friendly and prices are super reasonable! 1 scoop cone is $5, 2 scoop is $6, 3 scoop is $7. They also have milkshakes, sundaes, etc. They have a big variety of flavors (20+!!) and the flavors are very unique flavors, such as banana cream pie (YUM!!), Graham Central Station (SO GOOD!), horchata (MMMM!!!), blueberry cobbler (just to name a few!) I usually get the 4 scoop sampler ($7) because I'm indecisive and want more than one flavor! They give BIG scoops!! Super creamy and delicious! Such a good deal! 10/10 Expect to wait long lines and at least 30 minutes!! So worth the wait! Would totally recommend and return read more

PARKING: Plenty of space to park! It's located at a relatively slower shopping plaza. SEATING: There's a bunch of seating behind the building with umbrellas. There's also seating in front with a fountain. Very romantic! Good for people watching. Most of the time I just eat the ice cream in my car. SERVICE: Great service! They are always quick to take your order, scoop your ice cream, and then you pay! Relatively quick if you catch them at a slower time. If you're stuck during rush hour, it does take awhile for you to get your order. But the ice cream is so worth it!! FOOD: They have SO MANY flavors and I am so indecisive of what I would want. I am easy to please so I asked the woman at the window for her favorite flavor. She gave me the Graham Central Station which is a "graham flavored ice cream with a graham cracker ripple and chocolate-covered crunchies" and wow!! It was a great recommendation!! I loved everything single bite! It was just sweet enough and each bite had a mix of everything. I too would recommend it too!! OVERALL: A solid spot for ice cream! If I lived closer, I would go every day to be honest. Catch them on off hours and treat yourself to a sweet treat!! read more

Ask the Community - Handel's Homemade Ice Cream
Does your shop offer sugar free ice cream?
They have an array of sorbet ice creams but I do not believe they have a sugar free option.
Heard they have $1.50 per scoop on Thurs? Is that true?
I've not seen it... double check
Does Handel have 1 dollar ice cream Wednesday like the one in upland?
Unfortunately no, each Handel's location is a franchise and has different offers.
Do they have sugar free ice cream?
Yes! I did some sugar free options the day I was there! Enjoy
Are there smaller portions- like kid sizes available? I'm all for more for less or whatever is worth but sometimes it's just too much ice cream and is a Two flavor one more portions than a single?
Unfortunately no kids sizes are available. And yes a two flavor scoop is one size bigger.
Any vegan flavorS?
They do have vegan / sorbets options. Mango, Mixed berry, pomegranate, strawberry, vanilla pineapple, Apricot, blackberry, chocolate almond milk ice cream, coconut milk ice cream.
I have a peanut allergy - does your ice cream that do have peanuts share equipment with other ice creams? Thx
They do, you can ask them to clean the scoops and wash their hands, but no 100% guarantee that it's free of nuts
My mom is a big fan of Pecan. She's in town visiting right now. I want to check to see if the Pecan ice cream flavors are available? Thank you.
There are several: Butter Pecan Praline Pecan… Read more
What are the least busy hours?
Don't worry about it, just order in the app. Keep in mind that it might take 30 min from that point, so maybe order from home and pickup.
