I was greeted as soon as I walked into the store. I asked what their favorites were and they answered a few different options. Ended up deciding on monkey business. Enjoy the atmosphere! read more

Great place to get a quick dessert. They offer a crazy number of interesting flavors to choose from and are happy to let you sample. The prices are reasonable and they have even cheaper prices on Tuesdays between 3&6 PM Service is always quick with many employees ready and willing to help. read more

They've got flavors and flavors and mo flavors. Hard to choose. Like the option to get two in one bowl. Get to try two flavors at once. read more

Handel's Homemade Ice Cream - Cherry vanilla on top of strawberry and brownies - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Plano, Texas

Man what a bummer! Ordered on Door Dash and went by their website's photos and descriptions to select 8 flavors for two separate tasters. The ice cream looked nothing like the photos online. Scant on mix ins, swirls and such. Two scoops (knot your average dough and twixter) had nothing in them? Super odd. read more

NEVER a bad scoop (or FLAVOR) of Ice cream! The employees are fun and enthusiastic; they welcome you and want you to feel valued... it shows! Thank you, Handels... we are ALWAYS so happy to visit and try a new flavor! Keep changing the world ONE SCOOP at a time! :-) read more

When I found out I couldn't order my fav flavor ice-cream from Salt & Straw for delivery (and I have to order an entire random pack with a bunch of other flavors I have zero interest in), I decided to start trying to find a great place nearby, enter Handel's. What I liked most about them was on a Friday after dinner there were tons of customers. It made the place feel special and right out front the very first spot is reserved for Veterans and Police. I loved seeing that spot, every business should have this. I ordered the seasonal key lime pie and Graham central station. Graham Central Station is it!!! I've been thinking of it fondly and know that's my go to flavor here. I did have to toss a bit of the key lime pie ice-cream into the trash to ensure I had room to get to the graham central station, maybe next time I inquire on a kids scoop. Perfect spot for the perfect ice cream cone. Service was impeccable and the line moved swiftly. Things run like a well oil machine here. I will most certainly be returning in the future. read more

Amazing service and truly great ice cream!! Every time I've been, the staff are always super friendly and accommodating to help you to as many samples as you'd like (despite there being 48 flavors). If that sounds overwhelming, it's not! There's a super clear board with all their flavors listed and the staff always offer samples and flavor descriptions while you decide. There's plenty of seating both inside and out and never a long line because of how efficient they are. Overall, amazing! read more

Handel's Homemade Ice Cream - Black raspberry chunk! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Plano, Texas

I've visited Handel's a few times now, and every visit has been a great experience. The ice cream is absolutely delicious--rich, creamy, and full of flavor. One of my favorite things about Handel's is that they let you sample as many flavors as you want, which makes it so much easier to choose when everything looks good. The staff is always friendly and patient, even when it gets busy. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and portion sizes you get. This time, I went with Mud Pie, which tasted like a light coffee flavor with Oreos mixed in--it was so smooth and the Oreo pieces was a nice touch. I also got Cookie Dough, which is a classic and always hits the spot. read more

Great ice cream and friendly service. Totally my vibe with the music. The drive thru never had less than 5 cars. The inside was spotless and had tons of staff. No wait at all despite 10 or 12 people inside ordering. read more

I always love a place that makes their own creative ice creams. Handel's is now one of my favorites when I am visiting the area. There's so many amazing varieties you can choose from. I had the blueberry cobbler and ask for a scoop of peach as well. Wow.. that was really good. Prices are fair and the scoops are nice size as well. They have waffle cones as well. If they were to make those in house. That would be a huge improvement for a place that's already worth going to. read more

So many awesome sounding flavors! Luckily my brother recommended the 4 scoop sampler, which is basically the same price as a medium (2 scoops). Great way to try a bunch of flavors! My favorite was the Graham Central Station, so good. Service was super efficient & there is plenty of seating outside. read more

If I could only take a half star away I would because I genuinely love this place. The customer service is amazing. They're so fast & friendly. They're very helpful. The restaurant is clean. The ice cream tastes amazing & is so well priced especially for the portion. My only complaint is that the menu has a lot of unique names but no descriptions. I feel like I don't know what I'm ordering when it's my turn & I needing to ask lots of questions. Give it a try just know the menus a bit different than other ice cream shops! read more

Best ice cream spot in all of dfw! Hands down! Worth every calorie! It's no fuss, you get to try every freaking flavor, the kids working here are so helpful and nice, the ice creams taste amazing and the waffle bowl is perfect!! It's delicious- taste and texture and crisp! Like it's not your typical fancy ice cream parlors that's popping up all over dfw, but it give you that old fashion feel that bring ice cream to the next level. I cannot rave enough about this place! read more

I felt like this was the first time I really had exceptional ice cream. So good we went back twice during our Dallas trip. I had pistachio and one with bananas and chocolate. All the flavors are so good I wish we had this back in Chicago. Highly recommend for any ice cream lover!! read more

This place came up on our Instagram reels and we decided to make a trip and see what the hype was about. When we came in, we were blown away by how big the store was and how many customers were there on a Saturday night. After trying their ice cream, we've come to the conclusion that this place is definitely worth the hype. They had an incredibly large selection of options and everything was both delicious and creamy. I would come back if they had a location closer to the city read more

I ordered the 4-Scoop Sampler for only $5.99. These were delicious and plenty big to really get to "sample" them. I've on been a here twice because I don't live in Dallas but both times I was very happy with my experience. The service is quick and easy as long as you're able to make up your mind on which flavors to try since there are so many to choose from. read more

Handel's Homemade Ice Cream - Graham Central Station Cheesecake with Oreo Dulce de Leche Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Plano, Texas

This is one of the best Ice Cream spots in all of America. The one closest to where I live, in Gilbert, Arizona, is great. However, I would say this location was even better. I ordered 2 flavors (I think it was a fruit flavor and a sweeter caramel flavor). When I tell you this was the creamiest, most decadent ice cream I've had in years, I'm not exaggerating. The staff was very friendly and they had a nice patio to enjoy it on. I'll be back if I'm ever in the area! read more

This time they handed me a punch card! As if I need any external motivation to come here. Today it's my perineal standard dip of Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie topped with a dip of Dulce De Leches!!! I found Nirvana.... Go! read more

We've gone nearly every day for like 2 weeks and have tried most of their flavors, and we haven't been disappointed yet! The ice cream is always amazing! Make sure you ask for a rewards card though, b/c we went several times without knowing they offered it. Buy 10 get 1 free! read more

This was my first visit to Handel's, and I really liked it! I felt bad coming in 20 minutes before closing, but the employees were super friendly and accommodating. They have a huge variety of flavors. The space is decorated really well and is spacious. They have lots of seating outside and a few tables inside as well. My ice cream was really good! I especially liked the vanilla oreo one. I will be returning to try more flavors. It's cool they have a drive thru option too! read more

Hansel's Ice Cream First I am 72 years old and was drafted by the Army. I did not volunteer. I am a Viet Nam Veteran. I went into Handels Ice Cream shop to obviously buy ice cream. The person working asked if I was a veteran and I replied yes, he immediately recalculated my bill with a discount. I left that day with a good feeling. The next time I was in there I mentioned to the clerk I was a veteran and she replied you didn't buy enough ice cream to get the discount. With other customer's witnessing this I felt a little bad, like I couldn't afford the purchase, I have never gone back to Handels again. Just a story that came to mind today. I don't need any answer, it really doesn't matter. read more

On a hot March day perfect excuse to stop by for ice cream. But does one really need a hot day to eat ice cream. As another ice cream shop in town says and I change to 'ice cream makes you smile'. We got a dish which is plenty. Parking up front; nice to be recognized for one's service to others. See photo read more

Hands down one of the best ice cream shops around. I've been here a few times and usually get a double scoop. This time I tried a milkshake and it did not disappoint. The staff is really friendly which is not what you typically get at a place that's run by a bunch of high school and college kids. They are always attentive and don't get made when you ask to try different flavors. 100% makes the experience better. read more

We had been in the area that day and since the wife already knew about this ice cream shop, we stopped because she wanted me to try some samples and let me tell you, we took home two pints worth of pistachio and strawberry cheesecake. They are both delicious. read more

LOVE Handel's!!! They're literally 5 min away from our house and my husband and I come here whenever we feel like having a "fun" little night out. Love that they are open pretty late at night and every time we go we are visited by high-energy, bright smiles. This place just makes us feel happy every time we go. Our favorite flavor is Mudpie. It is such a good balance of coffee ice cream, chocolate, and Oreos. I'm so glad they put this flavor on their regular menu. We also like bringing a pint back home. Such a reasonably priced, great flavored ice cream place. Haven't tried their drive through yet but I want to try doing that some time too. They have a punch card for ice cream cones/cups, and also for a pint separately so don't forget to ask one if you're going to become a regular! read more

Disappointed at Handel's Ice Cream - Misleading Post I visited Handel's Ice Cream in Plano after seeing their mouthwatering Facebook post about their "Monkey Business" flavor (banana cake batter ice cream with caramel ripple and brownie pieces). The first photo below is what they posted on Facebook. Excited to try it, I ordered the same flavor. What I received is in the second photo. When I politely showed the employee their Facebook post, she tried to convince me that it was the same product. Unfortunately, the reality didn't come close. As you can clearly see, the ice cream I received looked nothing like the picture they advertised--missing the rich caramel drizzle and generous brownie chunks. First image: what was posted Second image: what I actually got It's disappointing when businesses use misleading photos to promote their products. Just sharing this experience to help others manage their expectations. read more

Stopped for ice cream after reading all the reviews and it didn't disappoint. We all had had small ice cream cups. Mine was coconut and pineapple My friend had banana cream pie which she loved and the other had pecan praline also excellent. Highly recommend can't wait to go back! read more

Handel's is positively delicious and delightful. The ice cream here is simply creamy smooth delicious and make with only the best ingredients. The staff is always so nice and friendly. They give you all the samples you want. If you like old fashion ice cream that is served with a smile and quickly you will love this place. It's nothing short of a great experience. The store is clean quaint and decorated like an ice cream stored. Very refreshing. read more

Definitely recommend making a stop here. Skip dinner if you must. Or call it "diet starts Monday, but not saying which Monday" special. Love that, not only is it homemade, but they have many flavors that are unique to just them. Salty caramel truffle won me over but if I had to pick a runner up from the tasting, it's be the peanut butter brownie, which is nearly a tie. read more

Super friendly, 41 flavors that are all homemade. We came here because it was ranked as one of the Top 10 ice cream store in the US. It lives up to this! $4.10 is the cheapest (in dish, cup, or cone.) Oh YUMMMMMM! A DEFINITE must go! read more

I just shared with my hubby a small cup. It had two scoops. You can get two different flavors. We chose the coconut and the other one was their version of Rocky road. I forgot what they called it. It was more than enough for older peeps likes us. My niece got the strawberry cheesecake chunk, so good. Next time, i will order this one. Our grand nice got the blue one. I forgot again what it was called but i also tried it and it was good, it's light and refreshing. Great service! read more
