Friendly staff, good ice cream, I got a free hat! Nothing much to say it's a typical ice cream shop, not many seats. Probably better to take it to go. read more

Got the Ube and butter pecan ice cream, serving sizes were quite generous and the ube ice cream was very creamy. Not too sweet either. Some of the better ice cream ive had. read more

Amelia was very fun and engaging! I purchased a quart of ice cream and she carefully packed it with a smile on her face!

Stopped in for an ice cream. Only 1 person was working. 13 people in line ahead. The family of 4 got up and with the long line... the only employee working engaged in a short conversation before taking their order. Then a woman from the Smiked Taco place next door came in and walked right up to register and placed an order while the rest of us who had been in line waited. The ice cream is only decent.... And the customer service is terrible . I've never found this store to be adequately staffed. read more

Overall atmosphere was fine, and even though it was quite busy, the service was quick. Plenty of flavors to choose from, and the portions were generous. We tried the brownie dough and pistachio flavors, but unfortunately didn't enjoy either. The pistachio tasted artificial, and the brownie dough was just okay. It ended up being a miss for us. read more

I think Handel's is now my favorite ice cream in utah! If you go make sure to get the 4 pack which is 4 scoops of ice cream. It's a good way to try all their different amazing flavors. read more

Handel's Homemade Ice Cream - Sandy - 4 scoops of ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Sandy, Utah

So good! We got the 4 scoop taster and it's a smoking deal - SO much ice cream! We tried the pumpkin pie (good), sticky fingers (great), banana cream pie (good), and knot your average dough (YUM). The whole container was overflowing and two of us split it - I'm stuffed. Will definitely come back again. read more

I like Handels, especially compared to other ice cream places around. They always have a nice variety of flavors and I love that they offer a 4 scoop sampler for a reasonable price if you can't pick (and you get good size scoops!) Service was friendly and fast on our most recent visit. Even a small cone is HUGE, and their regular sundaes are a good size as well. Their hot fudge is killer and they don't skimp. Definitely recommend stopping here if you're in the mood for a sweet treat. They have some seating available outside, but I imagine it fills up fast in the summer months. read more

I'm always on the hunt for good ice cream and I think I've found the place I'll be visiting when I'm in town for work. They have so many fun flavors that we couldn't decide as we were waiting in line - then we saw the photo on the wall that there was a four scoop sampler and the price on the menu was reasonable so we got very excited. I got Monkey Business (banana cake ice cream, brownie, and caramel) Oree Dough (Oreo, cookie dough in vanilla ice cream), Chocolate PB brownie, and cinnamon roll. They were all amazing and rich and creamy. My fave was probably the chocolate PB brownie just because chocolate bases are usually my go - to. I can't wait to go back and get more! read more

This place serves authentic home ice-cream. My Handel's choco-chip hurricane has a nice creamy texture and definitely worth a try. Vanilla Coke float is also pretty amazing. This place offers several types of desserts with myriad flavours. Though it doesn't order seating, the complex has a pretty seating to chill. Over-all, it has a great service and great dessert. read more

The ice cream is so good here! The service was great here. Clean and professional service here!

Fast service! BIG SCOOPS! I love how theres seasonal flavors such as the pumpkin cheesecake :) it was so yummy. I just wish they could do 1 scoop of each flavor but thats not allowed, if you wanted two flavors you need to get 4 scoops total. I recommend getting a small or medium because the medium was huge and already started melting when walking to the car. prices are super cheap they definitely do not skimp out! no seating inside so you have to sit outside, I wish there was a line divider just so ppl know where to line up read more

Handel's Homemade Ice Cream - Sandy - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Sandy, Utah

Wow. Now THIS is an ice cream shop. It's huge, staffed with almost a dozen workers, and filled with endless lines of customer despite the extremely fast service and turnaround time. And because it's got it all, it can be hard to decide what to get, but my friend already had the Monkey Business in mind (banana ice cream with brownies, chocolate sauce and nuts mixed in). The sound of "banana ice cream" did not seem at all appealing to me, but she was undeterred and continued to sing high praises. We got it pretty quick, asked for extra spoons, and within a few minutes, it was almost devoured (see photographic evidence attached). It's not at all banana-y in the bad sense, and the chewiness of the cake, the crunchiness of the nuts, and the gooeyness of the syrup paired very well together in a delicious mess. My only gripe is about this place is for more seating (indoors or outdoors) and that it should smell more like waffle cones. Why doesn't it smell like waffle cones?! read more

Another place on my list checked off! Everyone loved the ice cream here and the prices were reasonable. The line was long but it moved super quick on a Friday night. My biggest qualm is the interior. There's no space to sit and other than a really long counter and bench and outside sitting. That's just tough cause there's 100 kids there running around and dropping ice cream on ya hahah. Just something to be aware of read more

We stopped in for a shake after dinner. The store was clean. The teenagers working the counter were not in a hurry but also not sluggish. The ice cream was great. I got the ore-dough shake because who can resist Oreo and cookie dough? Monsters that's who. Fortunately they have a monster shake for them. read more

We LOVE their ice cream! We get the 4 scoops every time and have NEVER had a single flavor we didn't like. We literally demolish this easily in about 10 hours. It 's the most creamy, flavorful, refreshing, and delicious ice cream bar none! Thank you Handel's! We will continue to purchase from this store every time! read more

I have loved Handels since they had a single location in Las Vegas. This location is no different. Delicious as always. I definitely recommend you try the new confetti brownie batter flavor. It was very rich and creamy. You get a lot for your money. I recommend the four scoop sampler if it's your first time visiting. Graham central station is always a safe option. read more

Handel's Homemade Ice Cream - Sandy - Confetti brownie batter icecream in a small cone. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Sandy, Utah

Best icecream! We love handels! The graham central station is amazing! We also love the brownie sundae.

I came here with my family because they love this place and was telling me how good it is and that I need to try it and I'm so glad I finally did, it's so good! The prices are very reasonable, and they have lots of different choices, which can make picking a flavor very difficult (but in a good way). They do ask you if you'd like to sample anything so that helps with deciding on a flavor. I decided to go with "monkey business" and it was so good! The flavor is banana ice cream, with a caramel ripple, and brownie pieces. The ice cream isn't hard at all but not so soft that it melts fast. It's a perfect consistency. The only bad thing about this place is that there is no seating inside so you're forced to get your ice cream to go, or if you're lucky there will be outside seating available. All in all it was worth it and I will definitely be back. read more

Handel's Homemade Ice Cream - Sandy - Monkey business in a chocolate dipped waffle cone bowl, delicious. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Sandy, Utah

Easily the best ice cream I have ever had, other chains do not come close to the ice cream that Handel's serves. And not only do they serve very creamy and thick ice cream, but they have a flavor for just about everybody. I have tried quite a few flavors including the oreedough, blue monster, coffee, bananas foster, chunky chocolate chip, borniwe dough, vanilla with oreos, and monkey business. My two favorites and go to's are the oreedough and the bluemonster. Every flavor I have tried is delicious, and their menu has to easily have over 50 flavors. The only downside is that most times there is a wait to get in and sometimes even stretchs to the parking lot. But honestly that never stops me from getting the best ice cream ever! read more

The first time I ever had Handel's Ice Cream was in Las Vegas and I had always hoped that one would open up here in Utah and it happened a few years ago with this location. We don't frequent this place enough because finances are right but it's always such a wonderful treat when we can afford it. There are several staple flavors but having tried more than half the menu I have to say the the tried and true flavors are Graham Central Station, Banana Cream Pie, and believe it or not the Cotton Candy too. I recommended getting a four scoop sampler if you have never been and trying 4 unique flavors of your choosing. read more

After finding Handel's in St. George, I was elated to discover one here in the Salt Lake valley-in the heart of Sandy. My family attempted to visit Saturday night, but the line out the door deterred us. Nevertheless, we persisted, and found that Sunday was a much calmer day-we were able to walk right in and only wait a few minutes. Getting to this little corner shop is a bit of task-you have to finagle around a busy intersection off the main road, then through an even busier parking lot back to the corner where the ice cream shop is tucked away. Not impossible, just crowded. Previously, I had the black cherry ice cream, which I loved. But I'm on a life quest to find the best mint chocolate chip, so I needed to give that a whirl. Half the battle, for me, with ice cream is how it looks. So I asked if I could see the mint chocolate chip before selecting it (I was told they are not doing samples.) The girl behind the counter silently went over, scooped up a bit and held it up, annoyed. I'm interested in the color and the texture of the chips, and can tell immediately upon looking at it if I won't like it. So I didn't want to order it and then be disappointed. It passed the visual test, so I ordered a scoop. We took our treats and went outside to a slightly shaded cement area to enjoy them. The results on the mint chocolate chip were not too bad-the chocolate chips were perfect (I like lots of very small slivers rather than huge chunks), but the mint flavor itself was a bit weak. The ice cream was creamy and the texture was fantastic-a little extra "umph" in the mint department would have taken it from a B to an A, for sure. We will be back! I'll probably stick with the black cherry, but may venture out and try something else again. read more

Amazing ice cream. If you want flavors that are usually either Jed to find or done well go here. Took my best friend here and she loves lemons well their lemon actually tasted like a sweet treat and not artificial flavor. Severs were extremely helpful explaining the sizes. A small little parlor tucked away in sandy so cute. read more

Oh this place... I had heard it what good but oh man! It's even better than I expected!! Their flavors are unique and so good and that's what I love! My husband is a picky ice cream eater but really loved this place! We can't wait to get back there ASAP! read more

There's a new location in Taylorsville, in the Valley Fair plaza directly in front of the splash pad. Talk about a genius spot! We went after shopping and ended up in the splash pad hanging out until we finished our cones. Another time we went to the splash pad and ended up getting a shake to drink while we hung out. This place is irresistible. Sample a few flavors if you need help deciding! We get small cones- they are about $5 and come w 2.5 scoops! It's soo filling. Last time we went they offered us a small TINY cone w a.spoonful of ice cream for our 1.5 yr old! It was free and absolutely perfect size for her! Thank you Handel's! Tip those teenagers! They are doing a fine job read more

Really good ice cream! The Monkey Business flavor guys, it's pretty epic. Monkey business: Banana ice cream, caramel, and brownies. One of our party just got a small of that and it was incredible. Such a great stand-alone flavor. Wish there were more like that! No indoor seating but plenty of outdoor seating. Super tempted to order the $45 cake and ice cream just to see how glorious it is. You can get some samples. They've got quite a few other mixed flavors it looked like. Will be back! read more

Handel's is always good. Top-notch and consistent anywhere we get it. They had a flavor I've never had before. Midnight madness. Dark chocolate with peanut butter oreos and peanut butter ripples. A little rich for some people but the dark chocolate was so smooth. I loved it. My family got the classic grand central station. Always good. read more

Handel's is so fun - there are a ton of flavors and the line moves very fast because the employees are running around helping people simultaneously. The size of the scoops is insane and they are very generous to provide a complimentary kiddie scoop for my toddler who doesn't eat much ice cream. My only critique is I wish the scoops were a bit more uniform. One of my children got about double the size of the other (despite ordering the same size) because a different person scooped each one. This happened to us last time as well. Suffice it to say that one child was thrilled and one was more disappointed, haha. Love this location too because you can eat outside in the courtyard (there's no seating inside). Easy parking and a fun outing for families. read more

Maybe I expect too much with ice cream? I'd give this place 3.5 stars if I could, and I'll round up to 4 just because my experience was decent. I went with a friend, and we each picked two scoops in the four scoop sampler. I got the coffee chocolate chip and the coconut cream pie. Both were fine. Personally, I felt the portion was pretty small considering the price--small scoops, not generous scoops. Nothing about this place really blew me away as far as being original or extra delicious. I will say it's better than Baskin Robbins, so that's something. Maybe I'll have to try something else at this place, like a sundae or a shake. I try to support local places when I can, but it's hard when Cold Stone has my heart. read more

Thanks to Lacey T for recommending this place to us. It was wonderful and surprised no customers were there before closing. :-) The owner was telling us all about Handel's and its origins. We have a few offices in Ohio and don't recall seeing this place. They allowed us to try all flavors and mentioned that they make it all in the morning so that the ice cream doesn't get hard. After coming from Rockwell ice cream this was a night and day difference in flavor and texture. Loved every single flavor we had, there were 4 of us and no complaints. read more

New ice cream shop in Sandy?! Yay! Located in the shopping center shared with Scheels, if you are coming from the North it can be a little difficult to spot Handel's, but they are on the corner between Pizzeria Limone and El Mexiquense Grill. There is no seating inside, though lots of tables and chairs outdoors. Don't worry about a cold-weather visit, either. There is plenty of room in the shop if a line forms, and if you don't want to eat in the car, you could probably just stand in that space. Even though it was a Sunday and snowing outside, we were behind a few other customers, most notably, a darling couple putting together a few pints. I will admit I was rather jealous! We spoke to the owner or manager, and he shared a bit of Handel's story, explaining they have something like 150 flavor varieties with 48 available daily (including ices and some other vegan options), and all ice cream is made in house. Yes, they are a chain, and I am not always a fan of that, but these are truly well made treats so I can overlook it. Both employees we interacted with were enthusiastic and friendly. They were happy to let us sample several flavors, even encouraging ones we were not sure about (which ended up being favorites, of course - as humans we only THINK we know what we like!). Graham Central Station, a graham flavored ice cream base with graham crackers and crunchy chocolate bits was the overall hit, but we also tried Pumpkin Pie (true pumpkin flavor and pretty orange), French Silk Pie, and Snickerdoodle (just like the cookie!). No matter the flavor you choose, Handel's serves up luscious, ultra smooth and creamy ice cream, and those varieties utilizing mix-ins include a generous amount. I ordered a sugar cone with Midnight Madness, and watched in delight/horror as a second scoop was placed on the first, and then topped by a baby third! Even a single ends up toweringly tall, perfect for the 'gram (and no, there was no struggle to finish it!). I chose that flavor as I was craving deep, dark chocolate, but between the PB Oreos and swirl, the chocolate was quite overwhelmed! I normally love that combination, and it was still delicious, only I found myself dreaming of that oh-so-fantastic Graham Central Station, and it suffered a bit in comparison. Ah, well, next time! For cones, they also have cake, waffle, or chocolate covered waffle, but you are not just limited to the basics! They offer various sundaes and toppings, ice cream sandwiches and chocolate covered bananas, popsicles, shakes, malts, hurricanes (like a blizzard, but you can only have a vanilla soft serve base, our lone disappointment about Handel's). For the indecisive among us (me!) there is a four scoop sampler, and lastly, they even have Frosty Paws so your pup can share in the fun! read more

The ice cream serving sizes here are really big! As you can see from the image the single scoop is really multiple scoops. If you want lots of ice cream for a good price this is the place to go. My big complaint is the milkshakes were more like chocolate milk. They offer a thick shake so maybe that's what the rest of the world considers a regular shake. There always seems to be a big line but it moves fast. read more

I was skeptical of trying yet another ice cream shop, but Handel's did not disappoint! The ice cream is amazing! The texture is decadent and creamy. The flavors are transportive. And the price is right! We tried the "4 Scoop Sampler"; S'mores, Graham Central Station, Nutter Butter and Coconut Cream Pie. All four flavors were AMAZING! I personally couldn't get enough of the graham central station and almost went back to order a pint to take home. I'm kicking myself for leaving empty handed! Do yourself a favor and skip over the other ice cream shops in Utah. Get yourself a big ole scoop from Handel's--There's a reason they've been in business since 1945! read more

Excellent ice cream. It has to be or they'll never survive in the space where Starbucks failed. The have a lot of offerings and a great variety of flavors. We particularly enjoyed the flavors we chose: Graham Central Station, Coconut Cream Pie, and Pineapple Sherbet. I was happy to see a nice selection of low dairy and dairy free offerings as well. I need to return multiple times. All in the name of scientific research, of course. It will be important to try all the flavors and the menu offerings. read more
