    Small scoops of Birthday Cake ice cream and Mango (non dairy)
    Maria C.

    We love coming here as a family for a nice treat as there is a flavor of ice cream for everyone to enjoy. I appreciate the variety and selection. They also offer samples to taste in case you cant make up your mind on which flavor to choose. Cookie monster, birthday cake, and strawberry cheesecake are faves for my kids. For those with dairy sensitivity, they also offer icees and/or slush. The mango slush is delicious and so refreshing! Handels is very popular especially during warm weather days in our area.

    Handel's is a retro-American style ice cream joint with locations all across the continental US. I understand its' popularity after trying it once; their ice creams are rich, creamy without excessive air, and their flavor line-up features fun, seasonal flavors that keep you coming back all year round. My favorites are: Banana foster (Winter seasonal) Pumpkin pie (Fall seasonal) Vegan strawberry (Fall seasonal?) Graham central station Blueberry cobbler (Winter seasonal?) Vegan mango I highly recommend trying their flavors as samples are complimentary and their courteous, professional staff also always have great recommendations on flavors based on what you're looking for. Handel's Temecula is an awesome ice cream shop. Highly recommend checking it out if you're ever craving homemade ice cream made fresh!

    I didn't know of this ice cream shop's existence until a school fundraiser was happening. At first I was a little turned off by the crowd thinking service would be slow; however, I was pleasantly surprised by their speedy process. I was in and out of there within a reasonable amount of time. Their flavors are rich, texture creamy, and you get more bang for your buck! A size small is basically the equivalent to a large compared to similar shops. This will definitely be a family favorite for ice cream outings.

    Hands down, Handel's Ice Cream is the best ice cream I have ever had and I'm completely obsessed. Every flavor is rich and creamy. Honestly, I can't even enjoy other ice cream anymore, nothing compares! Whether you stick with a classic or try one of their creative flavors, you can't go wrong. If you're an ice cream lover, just be warned: once you try Handel's, there's no going back.

    I love Handel's--it never disappoints. It's a solid go-to spot for any occasion. The pricing is reasonable, and the flavor selection is impressive--there's truly something for everyone. My personal favorite is the Blue Monster; it's the perfect sweet treat to end the day. My family and friends love this place as well. There's plenty of parking in the lot next to Handel's, though it can get pretty busy during peak hours. Luckily, I came at the right time and didn't have to wait. There are a few benches outside if you want to enjoy your ice cream on the spot.

    It's always a great stop here. The employees are very friendly and line moves quickly.

    Flavors are tasty. Portions are huge! This is what Handel's is known for. 2 large scoops for a small size. Servers are friendly. Wish they had indoor seating, especially on a cold night. There's limited seating outside. I love that they close late.

    Two employees working a line out the door. Service a little slow. I usually get the same thing, "black cherry,"but it tasted old and freezer burned.

    2.5 Scoop Taro Ice Cream in a sugar cone. Sarap!!

    Where are the Ube Lovers at?!?! Omg I cannot believe this ice cream shop exists without me knowing about it!! The foodies at work were talking about this today so I had to see it for myself. Legit Ube ice cream in Temecula.... whuuuuuut!!!?!??! Handel's is located on the outskirt of Promenade Mall. It's kinda tucked away, but know that it's adjacent to Margarita Rd. Upon walking in, it smelled very sweet like vanilla mixed with the cleanliness of Fabuloso lol! Clean is good though!! I got a 2.5 scoop of "Taro" (ube) in a sugar cone. This is the smallest they have. They told me that they could do a 1 scoop but it's the same price as a 2.5 scoop so I went with it. After the first taste, I knew right away that this ice cream was made with high quality ingredients. Vynikajici!! It has a very rich texture and robust taste!! So luscious!! It's very similar to the Taro Gelato from Sweet Orchid in SF, except this one is a wee bit sweeter. The sugar cone had a faintly mild hint of almond extract, which paired really well with the ube ice cream. Definitely coming back here since I really love ube ice cream!! Yummy!! Sure, they have other flavors but... none of the other flavors matter to me lol!!! I highly recommend for ube lovers!

    Has anyone had them come to a party for service?

    One of my good friends did this for her grandsons first birthday party. She was so thrilled with this. Handles was a complete hit.

    Such a fun place! You can find lots of old-school, viral, and hard-to-find candy and toys here…read more It's probably a good thing I came without my kids, because I definitely would've spent way more. The chocolate-covered bacon looked interesting, and they also have NeeDohs, just at a much higher price. The ladies were very sweet and helpful. I'll try their store made goodies next time.

    $3 marshmallow wands in milk or dark $14-17 (I forget &…read moredidn't take a picture) weighed bulk candy; jelly beans, individual candies, nostalgic, etc I absolutely LOVE candy and old towne soda fountains, etc. I buy Big Hunks and Chic-o-sticks from Staters for my fix but I will 100% never pass up a candy opportunity. I appreciated the nostalgic candies, glass case with chocolate dipped cookies, fruit, etc. The $3 marshmallow wands came as either milk or dark and rivaled the $8 Disneyland ones. Both were delicious! I didn't get the baklava but they looked delicious & well crafted. Staff was helpful but I knew my faves. I got pre-bagged Dr Pepper Jelly Bellys and the by the pound Green apple and Very cherry since they didn't come in bags. The buy the pound were unfortunately quite stale but the flavor was still there. Bummer, I spent so much(!) Definitely take a look around, they have import Japanese gummis, the trending Peeling gummis, gifts and knickknacks from Archie McPhee like finger hands IYKYK. It was hard to maneuver with so many customers shopping but manageable. Great sugary energy & vibe! Haha Connected to the candy shop is the ice cream parlor with giant waffle cones. Yum!

The staff was…read morevery friendly and even explained one of their fortune telling game in the front of the store. It was so interactive!! Even us adults tried the fortunate teller experience! Everything on the menu sounded delicous AND we indulged in it all! There are different ice cream types- snow ice, waffle ice cream, and rolled up ice cream. Plus they had boba and actual food options. Each ice cream option was packed with flavor. We loved seeing how they make the rolled ice cream in front of you and the brown milk tea boba was next level. We ordered two! The added bonus is the restaurant is spacious and the kids enjoyed the free board games available. So refreshing to see an area that doesn't rely on TV to keep people entertained. Can't rave about this place enough! It is a bit on the pricey side but eating in is worth the experience!

    This place ROCKS. I…read morecan't rave about it enough. I have told several people about this cute boba cafe. This seems like a hidden gem. It's so much more than a boba cafe. They have ice cream, boba and bubble waffles. The toppings for the ice cream are unique! I added panda cookies and two types of Oreos on mine! Delish! My husband got rolled ice cream. It was so fancy and smooth! lol I also love that they have a cute photo opportunity and have tabletop games. My husband and I played air hockey- so fun!! There was also foosball and tic tac toe. I am a huge fan of this spot. I almost just want to keep it to myself so it doesn't get overly crowded lol Where's the fun in that though? I must share with the world of Yelp! :D
