    Bad service. The lady made us repeat ourselves twice because she was busy talking to her coworker. We were the last ones in line can't you go laugh and talk after you finish with us? LOL. Ice cream is not too bad, just your typical ice cream. However it's pretty huge and kind of expensive too. With the cone it comes out almost $7.

    If they could get the employee distribution and friendliness right, this would be a 5-star place. They had 7 employees inside this tiny hut and it took 45 minutes to get ice cream in a rainy-day line. Most employees just staring into space. Bizarre. The ice cream itself is awesome. Really delicious and a lot for the money. I've had the berry cheesecake and postachio at 2 separate visits, both fabulous.

    A very good place for some ice cream after shopping at the outlet mall. The price is a bit high if you decide to get more than a single scoop, but the serving size will definitely make up for it. By the way, one scoop should be plenty as you can see it in my pic. You will have eight flavors to choose from, and you also have a choice of either having it in a cup or cone. The service is quick, but a few (especially the ice cream scoopers) can be unfriendly especially during busy hours; however, all your complaints should be washed away as soon as you taste their delicious and sweet ice creams! Strongly recommend this place during summer time, even though the order lines may be a bit longer than usual. Their regular store is also located nearby if you are willing to walk a short distance. They also offer coffee, sandwich, pizzas, soup, croissant, and etc. By the way, the regular store does also offer several different flavors of ice creams as well!

    Came here two days ago and ordered a single scoop of strawberry cheesecake on a cone which was huge! I didn't think it was that big since it was only like $4 something but it was so big that it took me forever to finish. The quality wasn't that amazing but for that size and the price, I think it was pretty worth it. I've been to other ice cream places that the size wasn't that big and it costed me more than $5. The other flavors included cookies and cream, strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, coffee, pineapple and coconut and pistachio. They also sell very cute macarons that I must try next time!

    Why are there always long lines here?! The ice cream is good, don't get me wrong, but it's not the latest, most innovative craze. The prices are a bit high as well although you get huge portions! 2 people can share 1 scoop for sure. And when you order 2+ scoops, they literally take their hands and pack it onto the cone so it'll stay LOL that's how large their portions are - it's like a entire pint of ice cream when you get 2 scoops it seems like. The flavors they have here are pretty standard: cookies n cream, rocky road, butter pecan, etc.

    Love this ice-cream stand! My boyfriend and I visited Citadel Outlets and came across this stand. It looked cute and I suddenly had the ice-cream cravings, so why not. We got the single scoop in a cone, which was close to $5-6 dollars. It is quite pricey for a single scoop, but the scoops are HUGE! I can't even believe they considered that a single scoop. The flavor butter pecan was really good. It wasn't too buttery or sweet. I would definitely grab another cone if I ever saw this stand again. I gave it a 4-star instead of 5 because customer service kind of sucked. While the person was scooping my ice-cream, the rest of the staff was literally slacking off and just chit-chatting. It was a cold day, so I get that it wasn't going to be busy , but they weren't doing ANYTHING. The cashier literally had her back turned to the window and the other two girls were just resting against I guess an ice chest or something like that in the back. Super unprofessional and kind of rude... Also I noticed that a single scoop in a cup and cone are different sizes... I was walking around with my cone and noticed people had the cup with one scoop, but it looked really small... and the cup has a wider opening than a cone... I was wondering if the scooper was feeling generous or if that's just how they normally come.

    Rude and unpleasant staff. One star is way more than what they deserve. The Mall's business is hurt by this kind of merchants. Close them.

My go to is the matcha shaved ice and Maiko special with UBE and matcha combo is sooo sooo good! I tried the Hojicha Matcha Latte Float OMG!!! to die for! I love Hojicha with matcha ice cream the Best! The hojicha by itself is strong and I love it! Definitely bang for your back the portion is really huge and good for sharing. The location is cute, simple and has seating options. It's inside the plaza so there's free parking. The service is fast and friendly, they do get pretty busy and I love how the quality of the matcha/ teas stays the same. I've been to their Rowland heights location. Glad I found out that they also have 626 location in Monterey park! This is definitely my go to matcha place.

I got the matcha shaved ice, and it was such a big portion. Definitely perfect for 2-3 people depending on how hungry you are. The matcha was really good, and I loved the ice cream flavors, especially the ube and matcha. Would definitely come back, since it is so much closer to me!

There's even a bathroom in there for customers -- brilliant !! The variety of flavors is pretty standard, but they provide their monthly specials and some last chance ice cream flavors. I got the Daisy Chains limited edition flavor, as well as the apple cider donuts flavor from the September apple series. They both complemented each other fabulously since the Daisy Chains flavor has pink frosting and sugar cookies in a vanilla base, whereas the apple cider donuts flavor has a lot of cinnamon and some caramel adorned inside. I also have routinely skipped out on their waffle cones -- a crime because they taste superb and smell even better. It holds a surprisingly generous amount of ice cream and doesn't melt so long as you stay inside or are not in hot weather.

Since they don't have one over there and we barely have one here in LA; before Panda Express, we had a sweet tooth and we both walked into this clean, place. Has indoor and outside seating along with nice decor inside the creamery. She got a cup of Vanilla frozen yogurt with lots of toppings, and I got the same, but plain in a cone. I don't like toppings on my ice cream or frozen yogurt. To me, it kills the actual taste and texture. We both got a great customer service by their employees and had our sweetness outside. It was very refreshing on a nice, sunny day! Prices for both fro-yo's were affordable considering the nice portions. If I happen to be in this area again, I will definitely stop by. They have variety of toppings, along with ice cream and fro-yo's. Clean dispensers, restroom and parking is shared with the rest of the shops and restaurants at Citadel.

But the toppings area had lots of choices between fruits, nuts and chocolates. The store also sold drinks, candies and snacks. My daughter got the vanilla, cookies and cream, and chocolate flavors from the dispensers. The yogurt had good texture, wasn't watery. The toppings were fresh. I liked that a staff member was putting the toppings in the cups, instead of customer putting their hands. The checkout was quick. Price was good. We paid around $7 for cup filled with three flavors and two different toppings. Staff members were friendly.

But it was too late to make it to my usual Long Beach location which closes at 10pm. So, it was a pleasant surprise when i found out that the Downey Location closes at 11pm. So, this was my First time at this Downey location at the "Downey Landing" Outdoor Mall. Lots of parking available out front. This is one of the parlor style Handel's locations. I arrived at 10:15pm. There was a descent line but it was moving at a reasonable pace. You order at the window, you pay and wait for your order. The Space outside is nice with a limited amount of seating in a common area. The building is well lit and you can listen to some nice background music while you wait for your order or while eating. For those who don't know Handel's. Their ice cream is made in house daily at every location. And the flavors are seasonal. So, you wont always find the same fruit flavors. You'll also find different flavors at different Locations. Today i ordered 5 pints to go. Flavors in order were... Black Raspberry Chunk Peach Peanut butter parfait Key Lime pie Meri's Choice (never seen this one before) When i got home. I had a sample of each, and although they were all delicious. The 2 that stood out the most were the Peach (made with real peaches) and the Peanut butter parfait. The Key Lime Pie could also be a top place contender. In conclusion. The Ice Cream is always excellent at Handel's. The portions are generous. The prices are reasonable and the service is always good. I once again highly recommend trying them out if you have not already.

Although the shop operates as a walk-up window with limited seating, upbeat music playing throughout the outdoor area creates an inviting atmosphere. The line moved efficiently despite the steady stream of customers, and the staff remained friendly throughout our visit. Best of all, the portion sizes are incredibly generous. A small serving is practically three scoops, offering excellent value. **Strawberry Ice Cream (Waffle Bowl): 5/5** Handel's truly elevates a timeless favorite with this exceptional strawberry ice cream. It had an irresistibly creamy texture while allowing the fresh, vibrant flavor of real strawberries to shine through in every bite. The crisp, freshly made waffle bowl added a delicious buttery crunch that perfectly complemented the luscious strawberry ice cream. **S'mores Ice Cream (Chocolate-Dipped Waffle Bowl): 3/5** This rendition of the beloved campfire treat had plenty of potential but ultimately missed the mark. While the ice cream itself was smooth and velvety, the graham cracker flavor overshadowed the toasted marshmallow and chocolate notes. The chocolate-dipped waffle bowl added a crisp textural contrast and a subtle hint of chocolate, but it wasn't enough to make up for the otherwise one-dimensional flavor profile. While our experience was somewhat hit-or-miss, Handel's demonstrated why it has earned such a loyal following. With its extensive selection of flavors and substantial portions, we're excited to return and explore more of the menu.
