I am always ALWAYS craving ice cream after dinner and Handel's does the job. I love their variety…read moreof fun flavors that still feel classic and homey. To be honest, I prefer their milkshakes over their actual ice cream scoops, but my husband and I wanted to sample a few different flavors. We got the sampler with Spouse Like a House, Strawberry, Graham Central Station, and Banana Cream Pie. Spouse Like a House: 7/10. I loveeeddd the crunchy bits which I believe are chocolate-covered pretzels. It's a solid option if you're looking for something with mix-ins that doesn't feel too overwhelming. Strawberry: 2/10. Unfortunately the strawberry tasted way too artificial; I could not eat it by itself. Had to combine it with other flavors for it to be tolerable :( Graham Central Station: 8/10. Tastes exactly as expected, graham crackers in ice cream form. A perfect "pie crust" flavor to combine with other flavors heheh :) Banana Cream Pie: 7/10. Can't go wrong with this if you love banana cream pie. This + Graham Central are the perfect combination!! Overall, I do wish their ice cream was creamier and more dense. I feel like the flavors dissipate instantly upon tasting because the texture is too airy. Even so, I'm glad a location opened up in Oxnard :)

Doesn't matter what the weather looks like, the 805 will always be ready for ice cream. So glad…read moreHandels decided to open in Oxnard. Everything is made in house. Even when the line is long, service is still very fast. Try the sampler, 4 scoops of 4 different flavors. Best deal for your buck.

The staff are friendly and kind, and the pastries are delicious with a great selection of sweets.read more

We ordered a couple of lunch boxes from Honey Cup Coffeehouse & Creamery for our trip to Channel…read moreIslands National Park after they were recommended by Island Packers Cruises. And let me tell you, when you're heading to an island for kayaking and hiking, securing food starts to feel less like lunch planning and more like wilderness survival strategy. The online ordering process, though, gave my husband a minor technological character-building experience. Not especially intuitive or user friendly. Then, on the morning of the trip, we weren't entirely sure where the lunches would actually appear. Tiny scavenger hunt energy. Thankfully, they were waiting for us at the ferry office, and we both immediately took the same relieved breath: "Excellent. We shall not perish on the island." The sandwiches themselves were genuinely delicious. I had the Caprese, my husband had the turkey baguette, and both were fresh, flavorful, and substantial enough to fuel actual adventure instead of just delaying hunger by 20 minutes. Each lunch box also came with chips, Fuji water, and a chocolate chip cookie that quietly stole the show. Soft, delicious, and exactly the kind of reward you want after hauling yourself around an island pretending you're far more athletic than you really are. By the time lunch was over, I was happy, full, and fully prepared for the next round of kayaking and hiking. Which is really the highest compliment an adventure lunch can get.

I had to try this ice cream place after a relaxing afternoon at the beach. There were like 40…read moresomething flavors of ice cream, but I knew I wanted to try one of their fish cones because they're so cute. Went with the classic yaki (short for taiyaki which are the Japanese fish pastries they use) and it did not disappoint. Great vanilla ice cream. The yaki had more ice cream and chocolate syrup inside. And there were nuts and rolled wafers for the toppings. Delish. Service was fast even with a small line. They have multiple cashiers, which is helpful. There are also a couple of servers who bring out the orders, so it was just super efficient. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area. There are so many different flavor combos to try!

If your workers…read moreare going to wear gloves to appear to be sanitary--using the SAME gloves to handle money and then turn around and handle your FOOD--this is disgusting!!! It completely defeats the purpose of wearing gloves in the first place and creates a major cross-contamination issue. It's basic food safety to change gloves between tasks, especially when handling cash. Watching this happen makes it hard to trust anything coming out of the kitchen. Unfortunately, because of this, I won't be returning unless there are clear improvements in their hygiene practices.

The customer service is always so sweet, and even though they're usually super busy and packed, the line always goes by fast. We always get aguas frescas, different ice creams or paletas, fresas con crema, and of course an esquite. We're really picky about esquite because it's not always good everywhere, but here it's always hot, fresh, and delicious. Some of the other locations definitely don't compare. It's always such a fun weekend treat for us whenever we can come by. If you're reading this and you're in the area, definitely stop by and try it!

Funny enough, it was a barista at my favorite coffee shop who recommended I give this place a try,…read morenot because it was better than Beacon, but because it was another great option while in Oxnard. I was a bit skeptical at first, but once I arrived and saw the owner roasting his own beans outside, my concerns were quickly put to rest. Overall, the coffee shop is great. The baristas are always friendly and helpful, and even though the place is often busy and packed, their customer service never falters. As for the drinks, I can only speak to their espresso and basic coffee, but in that area, they do not disappoint. While I don't think the roast is quite as good as Beacon, it is a very strong second in the area. Whenever I'm in Oxnard, I don't hesitate to stop by Dolce Vita for a great caffeinated drink.

The shop itself is beautifully detailed and thoughtfully designed--so much so that I couldn't resist taking pictures of the space. It has a fun, inviting atmosphere that really adds to the overall experience. The ice cream was excellent, and the variety of flavors made it difficult to choose just one. Everything tasted fresh and high quality, and they offer an impressive selection of toppings so you can fully customize your dessert. This was my first time visiting, and it definitely lived up to the hype. If you're spending time at Seabridge and find yourself craving something sweet, this spot is absolutely worth the stop. Looking forward to coming back and trying more flavors next time.

GOM Snow Desserts Oxnard, CA…read more Date went 5/24/26 Went around 4:45pm on a Sunday, it was pretty busy. Almost every table/seat was filled in the establishment Food ordered Mango Bingsu ($13.50) Hot fish filled with cream ($3.95) Food ratings Mango Bingsu; 7/10 + add hot fish with each bite = 7.5/10 The texture of the Japanese snow ice with the mango was great and melted nicely on the tongue. However, I couldn't help but think how much better it would be if some texture was added. So as a result, we added pieces of our hot fish with each bite and it was even better! It turned this 7/10 to 7.5/10. I love that the size small was big enough for two people to share and light on the stomach so we didn't feel heavy after eating it!
