I was excited when I realized there was a Handel's location in Tempe Marketplace! I've been to the Huntington Beach location multiple times and love their ice cream. Located in the marketplace, it has the perfect seating with comfy chairs and couches. There is a fireplace to add to the ambiance, especially on a chilly winter evening. I opted for the S'mores with a waffle cone this time and was so happy with my choice. The graham ice cream was velvety smooth and the mini marshmallows and chocolate chips added the perfect contrast. Each bite brought a bit of campfire nostalgia and was so satisfying. Although it was sweet, the dark chocolate added a nice reprieve. This is definitely a must try and a perfect post-dinner or movie treat. read more

I see why the line is always so long here every time I pass by! The ice cream is smooth, creamy, and not super sweet. As it was my first time I asked for a sample of the cherry chunk and the salted caramel. Both were super yummy, but the salted caramel hit right away, so I went with a scoop of it in a cup. I was surprised when the guy handed me my order as it looked way beyond just a scoop. No complaints out of me though as I was able to sit outside and take my time and enjoy every bite! This was such an amazing treat! I will be back! read more

My order was the raspberry shortcake mixed with another flavor (can't remember ) in a waffle bowl. I tought the prices were fair the staff was friendly and the wait wasn't too long. We went on a busy Saturday at and the staff was working hard to get everyone's orders out fast. 10/10 recommend read more

I explained to the girl at the window that this was my first time trying Hansel's but I'd just like a chocolate dipped ice cream cone. After paying the $9, they hand me a literal cone that was dipped but with no chocolate on the ice cream itself. What? I asked them "where's the dipped chocolate" and they said "it's just the cone". Sorry but when you google a "chocolate dipped ice cream cone" you get a very different result. Just a warning to dipped fans out there - they'll dip your cone but not your ice cream. read more

Easily some of my favorite ice cream of all time! Very rich and creamy. Portions are huge, service is extremely quick, and staff is always friendly. Great selection and perfect for a quick ice cream stop. read more

Handel's Homemade Ice Cream - Mint Oreo and brownie dough cones - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Ice cream - Chocoholic chunk. It IS a Deep Dark Chocolate Ice Cream with Dark Chocolate Chips. It was very thick and did taste like very dark chocolate. Atmosphere - You order from a window in a wall. It reminds me of ordering a movie ticket from a window in a wall. A strange and strong odor or smell was coming from inside the shop. I am not sure if it IS floral bleach or incense. I have smelled the same scent at another ice cream shop as well as at a boba shop and also at a fresca shop. I most recently smelled the same scent at a grocery store. Seating is only outside on picnic benches. Service - There were about six or seven employees. The service here was quick. The employees in the back listen to the orders and scoop the ice cream. There were maybe two registers at the front. Order and pay at the counter. Self seating outside only. Parking - Surface parking lot. No parking meter or parking structures. Would love some shaded parking with solar panels or trees. A large parking structure would be amazing to help with traffic congestion in the parking lot. The parking lot is a bit weird. Unique - Nothing to note at this time. Did not see a health rating on Yelp. Seemed clean and organized when I visited. read more

If you're craving a sweet treat, than look no further! I got the strawberry ice cream on a chocolate dipper waffle cone with peanuts! It was so good and the ice cream was super creamy. There isn't any dedicated seating at this location so it can be pretty hot standing in line to wait but there is seating by the splash pad! read more

Why have I never heard of this place before??? It's now my new favorite ice cream shop. The ice cream was simply amazing and delicious. This Handel's location is inside the Tempe Marketplace, so I had to walk a couple minutes to get there. But there is a ton of outside seating. This was my first time trying Handel's ice cream. I got the salted caramel with a chocolate-dipped waffle cone bowl. First bite in, I was hooked. Service was great, too. Literally 3 seconds after I ordered I got my ice cream. Albeit, I came in around 9:30pm on a Thursday. Would definitely recommend! read more

Pro-tip: They have a four taste sampler. For the best value, I would recommend going with a front or two and sharing the double or triple. It gets pretty busy so I expect to wait. Gluten-free options are indicated on the menu. Highlights: It''s really exciting to see one of these open in Tempe marketplace in a location that's so easily accessible. I love all of their different flavors of ice cream because they are really unique and can't be found in other places. Lowlights: For a single scoop of ice cream, I think it's a little expensive. read more

I haven't been to TMP for some time and was pleasantly surprised to see Handels next to Gen. Ice cream is a perfect way to end an evening. It didn't seem like they were available for samples , like the other location, so we only committed to what we would finish. The flavors were great and the service was quick, despite the line. There's plenty of space outside to walk and eat or lounge on some chairs. read more

I've been a fan of Handel's Ice Cream when I first tried it in San Diego years ago. This location is located in Tempe and located next to a lot of restaurants. Stand in line and wait patiently. They got really busy. The portions are huge and the service was friendly. read more

Went for our first time Sunday night. Our cone was given to the wrong customer, who touched the entire cone. The employee took the cone, did a lap around the coolers and back to the window to deliver us our unchanged, stranger touched cone. The ice cream was great but the blatant "avoidance" of health code was such a turn off. We didn't really touch that cone and instead focused on the sampler, which was great. Unsure if we will return due to the likely poor training of health code. Very gross, yikes. read more

I've been to the Handel's location on Guadalupe in Gilbert and have loved it, and this location is no different! It's interesting that this one is a walk-up when every other food place in Tempe Marketplace has an inside component. Nonetheless, it makes the ordering and picking up process smoother. Can I start by saying: this place always has someone in line! Luckily, when me and a couple of friends went on a Friday night, they had a lot of staff working, so it never took that long to get orders out. The selection of ice cream flavors is quite impeccable if I do say so myself. Anyone can find something they like. I ordered a single scoop of their lemon bar flavor in a bowl and when the guy at the window handed it to me (not even a minute after I ordered, love that) it was massive. I'd say at least two medium-sized scoops. So, in this economy, you get what you pay for. The quality is there, the quantity is there, what's not to love? Anyway, the lemon bar flavor was delicious. So refreshing and decadent at the same time. The chunks of pie crust throughout had a perfect dense, yet light texture. I'm glad I ordered it it in a bowl because the thing melted in the 100 degree heat so fast lol. Giving this a 5 star-review because the service was super quick and my selection of ice cream was superb. read more

I've had Handel's a few times in California and have always had a good experience so I was excited to hear there was a location at Tempe Marketplace. While there is no indoor seating there are plenty of tables right next to the shop and it's also conveniently located next to the splash pad so the kiddos can play in the water before or after indulging in sweet treats. We decided to split the sampler which is a four scooper in a plastic container. We got a mix of different fruit flavors. All were absolutely delicious, with just the right amount of sweetness and a very smooth pleasing texture. We were definitely satisfied after having our ice cream. Details: - Chain originally from Ohio - Online order available - Pints available - Vegan options read more

I love ice cream. The best ice cream, I mean the really good stuff is only at at ice cream shops and in the small pricy pint sized containers at grocery stores. Thats the ice cream that isn't just cold and tasty, but also just screams thick and creamy as it melts on your tongue. I have tried most of the flavors at Handel's and my fave are black raspberry chunk and chocolate chunk. The staff has always been friendly and there is often a line of people ordering. read more

I went to Handel's on a Friday night over in Tempe Marketplace with some friends recetly. At this location, this shop is a walk up experience and doesn't offer a inside seating option (so be prepared for that). They have quite an extensive selection of different custard options. Our group tried the Black Raspberry Chunk, Salty Caramel Truffle, Birthday Cake, and Buckeye flavors. Each flavor combination was a solid 10/10. We talked about this custard for days after, it was so so good. I will caution that when we arrived, there were maybe only 6 people ahead of us, but it took a solid 20-25 minute wait before we could place our orders (they had 3 employees working). The pacing of service was not great, but the sheer deliciousness of the ice cream balanced that out. The thing that did frustrate us about this business was that the smallest size of ice cream they offer is a two scoop (even though it is advertised as a one schoop). I recommend splitting order with someone as they just give you a lot (what a problem to have, right?). I though the pricing was fair for as much as you get. read more

I wanted to love the ice cream but I just didn't. I love that it's a walk up window and that there are endless options so I'm sure if I try it again, I'd find something I like. I got the banana cream pie in a waffle cup. It just wasn't good. It was too sweet and tasted like artificial banana. After a few bites, the taste was just odd. The girls that were working were super sweet and super quick. My order was done about 30 seconds after I paid. It was scary fast. read more

I don't come to Tempe Marketplace often and had to lookup on the map where the Lululemon was, but what caught my eye - a homemade ice cream place (a non-Coldstone?) here? Hmmm. I took a pass by and one offering really piqued my interest for a little afternoon snack: an ice cream pop (scoop of ice cream dipped in chocolate, on a stick). I chose the vanilla pop although mint chocolate chip was a strong contender. Wow this little treat made me happy! Small but large enough to get a good taste of the ice cream. The setup of the place being so closed off with the 4 walk up windows was a little confusing. So many people were standing around waiting then I realized none of them were at the "order" window - did they already order? So I finally went up to window 1 and I guess so, no one yelled at me. Then luckily since the pop was already made I didn't have to wait with the masses! Next time I need to come to Tempe Marketplace, I'll stop by for the mint chip pop :) read more

I feel like a disclaimer should be posted to the window for the amount of ice cream you will receive when ordering a scoop of ice cream. Lol tremendously generous, the equivalent of three ice cream scoops. This handles a window only experience versus the original handles in San Diego, so you do not get to see the ice cream, but they are generous with samples as well which I really appreciate. The ice cream texture is amazing especially if you like a lot going on with mix ins. The service is a little slower, simply because there is a lot going on with their ice cream, flavor wise, mix in and topping wise, cone, cup, or cookie as your vessel for holding ice cream, but when you come here you will understand. It's delicious read more

Stopped at Handel's Tempe on our way home after dinner tonight - it's one of our fave ice cream places we like to go too, however this was NOT the one we normally go too - but they are all the same right? NOT! We asked for a half and half pint of ice cream which the junior behind the glass said "we don't do it that way".. really? You can't put ice cream side by side in a pint tub? It's not that hard! All we really wanted was our 2 ice cream choices side by side, not just dumped on top of each other. Our local Handel's on Nth Scottsdale Rd ALWAYS is able to do this without any problems - this location, I had to explain it 3 times how easy it is to do, but kept getting the same answer "we don't do it that way".. Not only that they got my wife's order completely wrong.. they gave her key lime pie instead of banana cream pie - not rocket science to serve ice cream. Also, Mr Handel's Store Manager, please ensure your staff are not sitting and eating ice cream cones in the store when their teammates are serving customers - looks completely unprofessional! At least have them go outside when their on a break! Disappointing as these kids obviously did not care at all! read more

I'm super happy to have Handel's so close to me now. Best part is they have so many dairy free/ vegan options. I'm in love with the chocolate coconut flavor, it's actually pretty rich and thick unlike most dairy free ice creams. The one downside to Handel's is that they don't really have smaller sizes and even though you are getting a lot for the price, they don't really have the option to size down. Just expect that your small ice cream is actually a LOT! read more

Fabulous ice cream and great service. It's not inexpensive but a really good value. Unique and wonderful flavors. The only downside is that it's only a walk up experience ( like a food truck) no inside seating and no tables/chairs. Very hot so your ice cream melts and drips everywhere. Wish they'd open up a parlor style location ( think Sugar Bowl). read more

This is a great addition to Tempe Marketplace. Hubby is a huge fan of the orange sherbet and brownie batter flavor and I love their interpretation of Ben and Jerry's Half Baked; brownie/ cookie dough concoction. All you need is one scoop here because they are heavy handed with the portions! We've enjoyed pretty much every flavor we've tried. Perfect for an after dinner or shopping treat! read more

Handel's Homemade Ice Cream - Peach and oooh dough!! flavors - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

I had seen on Instagram that this ice cream shop was opening up in Tempe marketplace and knew there was some legit hype surrounding it. Saturday, my son and I found out why. We were wandering Tempe marketplace just to enjoy the nice day and stumbled upon it reminding me I wanted to try it. I loved seeing that the ice cream is made fresh daily at each site. There are so many flavor options and in so many forms. You can get cones, cone bowls, ice cream pops, etc. There seemed to be only two people working but they moved quickly and we had zero wait for our scoops. Not knowing the size of a "single scoop" my son and I each got our own. My kiddo got the one with vanilla/chocolate ice cream with both brownie and cookie dough chunks. I got the salted caramel truffle. When I tell you they DO NOT mess around and absolutely FILL the ice cream with the mix-ins it's the truth. Every single bite was insanely delicious and matched the name perfectly. The ice cream was balanced and perfectly flavored and the truffles in mine were full of caramel. The cones were also delightful. Be aware, a single scoop can feed multiple people so next time we will get an edible bowl and share. Prices are reasonable and it's so nice to eat ice cream in a relaxing environment outdoors. 10/10. read more
