    04.05.23 Coffee Chocolate Chip, Praline Pecan, Orange Dream Cream, Vanilla w/ Oreo
    May A.

    Anything w/ chocolate chip, please [Roseville CA] Until the other day this was the first time I've actually walked inside this location. I've always had it as a pick-up experience when my co-workers and I would get afternoon sweet cravings and one of us would pick up. And now that the weather is warming up here in Roseville the shop is obviously busy. There are definitely a plethora of yummy flavors to choose from. I chose Coffee Chocolate Chip which is a specialty ice cream and although the line was pretty long I was able to get to the counter at a decent time. There were plenty of workers to assist. I was handed my ONE scoop on a cake cone... and I forgot how huge these scoops can be since I haven't been in a while. Sooo good! It's the only type of coffee I'll take (I'm not a coffee drinker LoL!) If you like coconut the MAY flavor of the month is Coconut Caramel Delight: Coconut flavored ice cream with caramel ripple and Coconut Dream cookies. You still have time. Enjoy! Review #4030

    Clean inside with young friendly workers.

    My family including is obsessed with Handel's lately. I am not a huge ice cream lover, but this ice cream is certainly unique and of premium quality. Family favorite flavors are: Graham central Station, O Dough or anything cookie dough and the Orange dream flavor. The weird thing about this place is the choices of scoop size. If you want a small cup with two different flavors they charge you for a medium. I ordered one scoop, it was the smallest scoop I've ever seen. Maybe 1/4 cup? The best value is the four scoop sampler size.

    This Handel's is huge! My man got a coconut ice cream that seemed to have Samoa Girl Scout cookies, chopped up in it. I thought it was incredible until I tried the pecan praline, knocked my socks off! Shout out to the nice girl at the counter that recommended it to me. We asked if we could get a cup of water and they gave us a little cups, but you have to fill them up at the water fountain that's near the bathroom. By the way, the bathroom was very dirty, somebody had pooped all over the place and there were no paper towels in there. You could even smell it out by the water fountain so I was a little grossed out. I did go into the other bathroom, which was much cleaner and washed my hands before I ate my tasty snack. We ate outside, there were some tables by the parking lot. It was very chill.

    Who doesn't love Handel's? I've been to several other locations, but this was my first time visiting the one in Roseville. I received the same excellent service that I have experienced elsewhere. On this visit, I tried the Coconut Caramel Delight, which is a perfect blend of coconut ice cream with a caramel ripple, coconut flakes, and coconut cream cookies. It tasted exactly like a Samoa cookie! The staff was fast, friendly, and very helpful with the menu. I enjoyed sitting on one of the many outdoor benches at dusk to enjoy my ice cream.

    Dirty front store

    Icecream: 5 out of 10 Cleanliness: 1 out of 10 This place needs a new manager! Icecream is ok, not the best. But the place.....it needs cleaning everywhere: walls, toilers, front store concrete, outdoor tables. You can't even enjoy the ice cream with so much dirt around you

    Some of the best ice cream I have had! The texture is smooth and creamy. It does taste fresh and the chocoholic chunk was perfect balance of dark chocolate and chunky chocolate pieces. The waffle cone is thin so you dont have too much cone but it holds up great. The set up is nice because as you walk in you are guided around to the counter and have time to view the menu and ice cream flavors. They offer 2 menus with sections for Chocolate, Vanilla, fruit, and vegan flavors. This makes it easier to pick because you just have to choose the base. Staff are very fast and serve you with pleasure. Super kind and we dis not feel rushed like at other ice cream parlors.

    Huge portions, good quality- about twice or three times the size of Ghiradelli for half the price. You can easily have your kids share an ice cream. Children enjoyed it.

    It's always a good time at Handels. The ice cream is great. The service is good and the memories are forever. This is my go to ice cream spot with my family. The flavors are unique and classic at the same time.

    It was hot today. Like 100+ and a long ride home. What to do? Get ice cream for the road. Handel's is a longtime favorite in the Sac area. And they bring the ice cream yummy goodness. Since I was driving I decided on a shake. They make a shake out of any ice cream they have. And you can add malt or make them extra thick. Wow. I chose the graham cracker ice cream and added malt. Super good. The consistency was thick enough. I could drink the shake withiut getting brain strain from all the sucking. Haha. It was blended nicely and you could still taste all the ingredients. Super good. I also love the Taro Ice Cream. Not super sweet but the Taro was the star. There deifinitely chunks of taro in each bite. One of the better versions I've had. Service moved well. At this time they had 3 or 4 workers taking requests and making each order to serve. I could see this being very effective if the line got long. The long counters make servicing large groups very easy. The place is pretty simple and kind of had a throw back setting. Nothing fancy, just set the order in and get the people their ice cream concoctions. The menus are pretty detailed and they have so many flavors. It may take some time to order but that's half the fun.

    Mint Oreo
    Ms. Lala L.

    So many ice cream options... chocolate based options, vanilla based, dessert/pie flavors, ice cream with brownies, caramel, nuts, and candies inside. Everyone can find a favorite flavor and style here. I got a small and the portion was huge and wow... this mint Oreo is delicious! I have been hearing about this place and I really respect the quality, the variety, and the fresh ice cream made daily. They weren't not strict about trying flavors and checkout was quick and seamless. I appreciate the good service and positive experience as a first time customer. The mint has a really good strong flavor and the ice cream is so soft and fresh. This place is for everyone! They even have Italian ice and vegan style ice cream/treats. The only thing that is confusing is that one door is for the exit one doors for the entrance. You stand along the wall and pole where you just line up in a big line. I messed up and came in on the wrong side. They have sundaes, milkshakes, specialty sundaes, chocolate covered bananas, waffle cones, and regular cones. This is a place with a lot of of options and somewhere where you will never get bored of the same old flavors.

    Taro and mud pie
    Gretchen T.

    Sooo creamy. Randomly decided to stop in on a Friday evening since I was nearny. There was a short line that got longer as time passed. I decided to try the taro and mud pie flavors. Both were really good and super soft and creamy. Decided to get both flavors. I asked if you could get like a half scoop of each, but the scooper said you can only get one flavor in a small, and two flavors in a medium. So I got the medium and the servings are quite large. Would come back to try other flavors. It came out to $6.75 before tip.

The vibe and…read morecolors gave off a late-night hangout spot feel, so it just felt like the right place to be. Everything on their menu looked really good, but I decided to go with something a little more refreshing: a strawberry sundae. Ordering is super easy through two tablets to the left of the counter. It does force you to provide a phone number, so make sure you don't forget to opt out of those pesky text messages once you leave (if that's your preference). The tap-to-pay was very responsive too. The order didn't take long at all, and I very much enjoyed sitting on their little poofs around one of their tables. The staff was very friendly and welcoming, and my sundae was so light and easy to eat. It had a generous helping of strawberry goodness, with even more at the bottom, which was quite a lovely surprise. Also, the two Pocky sticks on the side didn't even make it past my first two spoonfulls. Last time I came here was a while ago, but I will definitely make an effort not to wait that long again.

Black Sesame Swirl - 9.2/10 This ice cream is SO good like it tastes very nutty and toasty while not being overwhelmingly sweet. I would definitely get this ice cream again if I happen to stop by. Yuzu Sparkling Matcha - 5.1/10 I thought about trying their matcha lattes but I wanted to try something different so that's why I got this drink instead and honestly.. it's not that good tbh. I honestly hate sparkling drinks with matcha in general because it doesn't pair well imo. The Sparkling Yuzu is like the only thing that I can only taste and the sourness makes the matcha really bitter in a bad way. Although I do appreciate the color of the matcha so you know that they're not using low quality matcha that's for sure. Miso Caramel Kohl - 7.5/10 My family member got this drink and it honestly tastes a lot better than I thought especially since they use miso in coffee which is an interesting combination. Also, the caramel gives the miso a more nutty and sweet taste. I don't really like caramel but it's honestly not too bad. But the coffee flavor is REALLY strong so I would recommend it for those who love coffee. Service was good and they made the ice cream and drinks pretty fast even though it was kind of crowded when I went. There's some seating but just make sure to come when it's not too crowded. The place is pretty clean and nice overall so I would definitely recommend their ice cream especially the Black Sesame Swirl! ‍

As Celin (I think that's how you spell her name) our scooper brought us around the whole menu while describing what nuances we should be tasting I couldn't help but to love every bite!

I'd been to one down in SoCal before, so I already knew I was probably making a good decision. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted with a smile. The shop was clean, the vibe was good, and the staff immediately offered samples. Honestly, that's a dangerous game because suddenly I wanted everything. After trying a couple flavors and joking around with the crew, they suggested the Birthday Cakes & Blackberries. Sold. It was the perfect mix of sweet with just enough blackberry to balance it out. Definitely hit the spot on a warm night. The ice cream was great, but the people working there made the visit even better. Friendly, patient, and happy to let me sample a few flavors without making me feel rushed. If you're at The Fountains and that dessert craving sneaks up on you, this place is worth the stop. Just don't blame me if you leave with more than one scoop.

My husband got the cookie dough, which was solid too. I love old-school creameries like this where you can get actual food and a good ice cream sundae. It just has that fun, nostalgic feel that you don't get from your typical ice cream shop. Overall, a cute spot for a late-night sweet treat after a night out. The service was a little slow, but the ice cream and especially that hot fudge made up for it!
