My ultimate fav was Berry bliss, literally tasted like a berry pie with pie crumbles. My kiddos had cotton candy & ube and hubby had coffee. So much flavor, without the guilt of having consumed who knows what that they put in our foods today. It's an adorable little nook nestled in a plaza with many food spot, you gotta walk around and burn off those calories with a sweet treat A portion of their portions go to the Michael J. Fox foundation so they are doing pretty great things. I had no idea that they are also in grocery stores and flavors change as well. They also have treats for your furry friends so we are itching to come back asap!

Yum! Ice creams are still a little icey (not perfectly creamy all the way throughout), but I still prefer eating this ice cream over others because I FEEL better! Vegan & refined sugar free. Thank you Vedders for a delicious & healthier sweet treat! Small parking lot with many businesses in the shopping plaza, but we got parking again! The staff member was kind, happy, & helpful. My fiancé got an ice cream sandwich & enjoyed it :)

I treated myself to a sundae, and it was delicious--creamy, flavorful, and the perfect way to end our day. The ice cream was fresh, rich, and clearly made with quality ingredients. The shop was clean, welcoming, and the staff was friendly and helpful. We'll definitely be coming back to try more flavors. Highly recommend for a fun family outing or whenever you're craving something sweet!

I don't fully get the hype of the soft serve craze here bu the ice cream bars and bananas are where it's at. This place is always busy but they really keep this line cranking. You can tell they do a great business in summer. My son loves the amores soft serve and my daughter loves the choc dipped banana. I always sneak a bite since eating a massive ice cream would hurt my underwear modeling career.

I have no problem with this particular location, but rather Handel's as a whole…read more Why is the smallest size 3 large scoops?! This is exactly why America has a diabetes and obesity epidemic. Get your portions right. But then you taste the dismal quality of the ice cream and you can see why the are selling quantity over quality. They load up on the sizes because it's inferior to any gelato shop. I've tried both the pistachio and peanut butter flavors. In both cases, the nuts were soggy and chewy like clay or rubber. The ice cream is overly sweet and does not have a creamy texture. I've given this place two visits and I won't be back, unless a normal small sized ice cream is added to the menu. The only positive about Handel's is that they seem to be open late.

The ice cream is decent, but I find the "policies" silly. Even though I ordered a size with…read moremultiple scoops, I couldn't get one scoop into one cup and another scoop into another cup. And it's also against policy to have two different flavors. Pretty silly. I also waited a minute at the window for the person to finish whatever they were doing on their phone before approaching the window. I would rather go to Brusters or somewhere that has better customer service.

They make their sauces from scratch and offer a lot of vegan and vegetarian options. Their frozen yogurt is also the best I've ever had! The servers are always friendly and accommodating. They have a lovely patio you can sit outside (dog friendly patio!) and inside is small but clean.

We had them cater my son's birthday party and it was a hit! The kids loved having a frozen treat on a warm summer day at the park and they got to pick their own toppings. The grown ups loved it too.

The food was good and the place is adorable. What I found really baffling is when I asked for a single cup of water they told me they only "sell water" and refused to provide a cup even to a paying customer. I get that they don't want to be providing water to anyone just coming in off of the beach, but denying a paying food customer a cup of water is a joke.

I tried watermelon and the Mermaid flavor (tastes like cotton candy and something that tastes like the color pink). My husband got the recommended 5 layer with cotton candy and cherry. It was all so good especially with the custard. The custard itself is like a soft serve on steroids. I don't like things that are too sweet but this was all just right. You can get the ice by itself or together with the custard. I would recommend trying the ice flavors you would want then getting it with custard, it really elevates the ice. The person helping us was so friendly! Not a lot of shade or tables to enjoy this but luckily this was during the evening on a cool night. I imagine it wouldn't be easy to enjoy this on a hot day. Otherwise, would come back to this location!
