    Warm evening so Stopped off to try this Ice Cream place my daughter has been raving about. Rightfully so, The person serving us was very nice and helpful in suggesting flavors. After getting our ice cream we sat outside at one of the many tables. I settled on a single scoop of Spouse like a House. Portion size for price was reasonable. Ice cream was packed with the pretzel balls and the ice cream very flavorful without being to rich. Both the interior and outside seating was relaxed and a nice way to cap an evening

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Below average scoops super disappointing every time I come someone else's looks bigger than mine. Just depends on the day. Wish it was more consistent. Other than that. Seems clean inside standard handles ice cream shop decent service mainly younger kids working there.

    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.

    We love it here. Staff is friendly and the food comes quick. My son can't believe how high the ice…read morecream is stacked here! It's across from the local high school so be prepared for crowds around games and school events. Still, the place is clean and the ice cream is great with variety. Highly recommend.

    This is always a fun and very sweet place to come for an ice cream treat…read more It's always upbeat, casual and full of good energy... plus the ice cream is absolutely delicious. It can get crowded on weekends and when school gets out in the afternoon but otherwise it's not so bad. The service is always top notch and this time was no exception. The servers are so energetic, friendly and add to the fun, enjoyable atmosphere. This time I chose a Matthew's Small Sundae... not so small. Two mega scoops of ice cream of your choice (and there are a lot of choices!) plus your selection of a topping. This time I went with the hot fudge chocolate... oh my goodness, so GOOD! As usual the topping and whatever pours all over the sides of the glass on to the plate below which adds to the adventure of cleaning up the delightful mess, scooping up all that delicious topping! Overall really fun for a very filling treat. I still have not tried a sandwich here but they always look so appetizing when one passes by. I must try one. It's the concept of an old fashioned ice cream parlor and it does a great job at it. Parking is always plentiful.
