    The blueberry cobbler
    Mike L.

    Blueberry cobbler all day long. Big scoops of Handels ice cream hits the spot every time. No matter what city Handels is always so good.

    I ordered a treat to be delivered to someone and they nailed the order to perfection! Not only was it correct, it was well packaged, and delivered quickly. The recipients thoroughly enjoyed their treat - thank you Handel's!!

    I love this place. It's affordable and fun and unique. The flavors are different and delicious. The portions are crazy. A small is a medium and a medium is a large, etc. The medium is two flavors but like eight scoops I swear. My favorite so far is the blueberry cobbler I think and the salted caramel. The staff has been nice even though they are always busy. They also serve you very quickly and are patient and helpful when you don't know what you want. There is some sitting outside but not a lot. It's more like a drive up and go or drive up and walk around kind of situation. Would definitely recommend also definitely come back.

    The mixed berry sorbet was so tasty, and the strawberry cheesecake was bomb my daughter said, and black cherry in a cone. My daughter said the cone was tasty and black cherry ice cream was very good. The service was great, I asked questions about the new establishment and they were very helpful with their assistance. I like the walk up window, it gives off like an old ice cream walk up window. It's a cute ambiance

    So good & so many flavors. I can't believe I'm barely trying out a Handel's. Had a good experience this evening. So glad we didn't have to wait in line at all. It's very chill here. You walk up to the window, order, pay & get your yummy dessert. Outdoor seating only... Had to ask for napkins, as they didn't have any readily available on the counter... Lots of flavors to choose from. Definitely coming back soon to try more :)

    Handels Ice Cream is definitely a great addition to the Oxnard area. I now see why this spot was hyped up even before it opened. Who doesn't love ice cream? Especially a place serving 30+ flavors?! Handels is very nice as it's new so it's clean and designed to look more modern while still having that appealing old school ice cream parlor vibe. There was plenty of parking and coming at 5pm it hadn't gotten busy yet. Probably others needed to eat dinner first before getting their dessert lol. Again, the flavor selection is massive and impressive. So many options to choose from. My friend and I had to look online so we could see pictures of what the flavors looked like - some by name are obvious and others not as much so I like that their online site has good pictures. I'm more of a coffee / original flavor ice cream person but it was cool how unique some of these were. The pricing is very reasonable. We opted for a four scoop sampler and despite it being called a sampler they were some good sized scoops! Back to the prices, the sampler which had four big scoops was barely over $8. Couldn't believe it! I've paid about $6-7 at local name brand ice cream shops and that's for only two scoops. I'd say this spot is a good value. Lastly, the staff were super nice. I didn't catch the name of the girl who helped us at the register but she was so sweet. Very patient with us as we needed awhile to look over the menu. She was all smiles and very professional and polite. The gentleman who scooped our ice cream was also nice and crafted us a nice bowl. All in all, while I don't have much of a sweet tooth, I'm really glad we have this spot in Oxnard. It's great for the kids and the ice cream experts.

    This was my first time trying Handel's Ice Cream. Now I know why it's so popular! I was impressed with the quality of the ice cream and the wide variety of flavors. The ice cream was so smooth, so flavorful. I really appreciated how the waffle bowl added a crunchy contrast to the silky smooth ice cream. It was difficult to settle on two flavors, not only because there were so many, but also because Handel's has a bunch of names of flavors I was totally unfamiliar with. In the end I chose Raspberry Chunk and Vanilla. Both were outstanding. I also sampled the flavor called Spouse Like a House, and was instantly in love with that one too! Next time I'm definitely hitting that one! There were so many other interesting flavors I can't wait to go back. And surely I will. The employees were helpful and welcoming. The ice cream was wonderful. The whole experience was fun! That's exactly what I'm looking for in an Ice Cream Shop! Mikey C says: Handel's Ice Cream, 5 Stars All Day!

    I came here for the grand opening. They gave free ice cream for a year to the first 100 customers, unfortunately couldn't get it but I was happy to have a chance to try their ice creams. This plaza is new, and there are some shops, such as Chick-fil-A and Starbucks. The Townplace Suite by Marriott is still under construction, and Shake Shack has yet to be opened. This plaza will be even more fun once all the shops are open. Also, this area is close to The Collection, so getting an ice cream after shopping would be a good idea. It took me a long time to decide what flavor to order because there were many choices, and all flavors sounded delicious, but I tried "Butter Pecan." FYI, they also have vegan options. The Butter Pecan was good! The sweetness of the ice cream and the slight saltiness of the pecans were well-balanced. I liked that the ice cream was not too sweet(that's what I want) and that there were a lot of pecans in it. There are some tables and chairs outside only. So you can take your dog :) The service was good, and I would like to try another flavor again. Parking is at the front of the shop.

    I loved the caramel praline on a cake cone . Customer service was amazing. I went back to try the horchata as intrigued by the flavor but I must admit I did not like it . I would not get it again. No worries , they have a huge selection of flavors.. Again, customer service is great ! Really happy to have them in our community. Outdoor seating . Counter service , pay and get your ice cream. I love the old school ice cream shop vibes. Employees all wear a uniform . All super friendly ! I just watched them work through the window . Every employee seem super excited to serve ice cream . LoL , so cute . I'll be back again and again !

    I was wondering what the hype was. Now I know! Huge selection and obvious seasonal flavors. Fast service, kind workers, great at answering my annoying questions and very clean! I'm going back tonight :) I don't really know how to leave an ice cream review .. but omg this was so good!

    New ice cream spot in Oxnard and the treats are on point. Be aware that the lines might be a bit long since they just opened but they move fast and it is worth it. Service is great but of course everyone is learning to handle the crowds and get everything right...so be nice! Chill spot, you order at the window and there is some seating, everything is outdoors. So many flavors to choose from and different items like sundaes, banana splits, shakes... enjoy!

The staff was so kind, especially the sweet Korean gentleman who helped us. He completely turned our mood around after we missed our train. I also loved that they use organic ingredients. If you're ever at the Oxnard train station, stop here. We left with great coffee, a better mood, and a new favorite coffee shop.

Undoubtedly, they are the best funnel truck business in town! First and foremost, the variety of flavors and topping options at Jimbo's is unparalleled. The menu is not only extensive but also crafted with creativity and attention to detail. For my son's birthday party, they went above and beyond by customizing the menu to match the theme perfectly. The balloon arch they created added an extra touch of magic, leaving both the kids and adults in awe. The attention to detail truly made the celebration memorable. What sets Jimbo's apart, is their exceptional customer service. From the moment I inquired about their services to the day of the event, their team is kind, professional, and have a genuine passion for making our celebration special. Their friendly staff ensured that every guest felt valued no matter how indecsive people were on what toppings they wanted lol. Beyond private events, Jimbo's has been our go-to dessert option on regular nights. Their funnel cakes are not only the perfect after-dinner sweet treat but also satisfy any craving my kids and I might have. Spotting them at local community events, farmers markets, and school gatherings has become a delightful tradition for us. Their consistent presence in these settings speaks volumes about their popularity. Jimbo's is definitely a foodie/ post worthy experience too that brings joy to any occasion. they have earned their spot as the best in town! you won't be disappointed!
