    Horchata and Watermelon Aguas Frescas
    Dawn M.

    Friendly, inviting, and the best in town! Excited to see a paleta bar close by! Entering the store, the employees were friendly and was served quickly. I got the horchata and watermelon agua freshcas. Both were hits! Just the right amount of sweetness. I got a chance to test taste the Kahlúa and it tasted just like coffee! I'll have to get that next time. I'll be coming back to try the paletas!

    Love this place. Delicious and refreshing. Only drawback is that it comes out to almost $10 a person, so $50 for a family of 5. A little bit of a splurge But I'd rather pay a little more and have it be this good, than a little less and meh .

    Hazelnut Crunch with Dark Chocolate and Coconut

    I've been hearing about this place for a little while and we finally stopped in for a sweet treat! The concept was new to us and the associate explained the process and even let us try their new flavor! My son picked out the bubble gum and my husband and I went with the hazelnut crunch. Both were delicious and not overly sweet! We will definitely be back!

    Mango paleta dipped in white chocolate and coconut, and coconut paleta dipped in chocolate with almonds. Taste like an Almond Joy. Yum

    Just found our new ice cream place! All natural, from scratch I've cream and natural juices. Soooo good.

    YUM! Our group of 7 earned these Paletas! There is a 4-step process to create your Paleta and the employees are super helpful if you are confused. I ordered Hazelnut Crunch, dipped in Dark Chocolate, covered in Oreo crumbs and served with sliced bananas. BOMB. So many combinations to be created

    Love this place! You choose your flavor of bar, then dip, then toppings. The fruit cup with tajin and Chamoy was excellent, fruit was perfectly ripe and fresh! The employees were kind and open for any questions, made you feel very comfortable. Very clean, made 2 stops on our trip to Mesa.

    I love new mom and pop establishments like this one where there is lots of energy from the staff. When we walked in, we were greeted by an employee who offered to let us know how the ordering of their menu works to do each step of the process. in a nutshell, I would describe this as souped up gourmet Popsicles. My daughters both got the Oreo Paleta have to put in chocolate and Oreo toppings. They were delicious and a fun Friday night treat. This staff recommended their fresh made Horchata so we had to get one of those and OMG, it was to die for. We will definitely be back

    Paleta selection, my favorite...coffee

    WOW! Paletas...creamy - delicious - refreshing. Incredible selection of toppings including nuts and fruits. Superstar customer service! Menu includes paletas, fruit cups, Aquas Frescas.

    I discovered this Paleta bar while searching for new food places on Yelp. It looked good, so I bookmarked the business to try out on my next trip to the area. Walked into the Paleta bar and there was nobody else, so I was able to really look at the different flavors. Picked my flavor paleta, then picked the dip, and topping. The person working behind the counter was very nice and helpful. The paleta was very good. I'll definitely be back to try another.

    Hazelnut crunch with dark chocolate half dip (bottom) & coffee with chocolate half dip (top)
    Said H.

    Wow did this place impress! Saw it by chance and thought I'd give it a try... they have both milk based or water based popsicles. Lots of options made with fresh fruits like mango, coconut, and strawberry to fun stuff like bubble gum and Oreo. Get them dipped in chocolate, candy toppings, or fruits if you're feeling fancy. They tasted very fresh and creamy! They have other stuff like agua frescas (fruit juices), street corn, and shakes. The employees (owners?) were also very friendly. We'll definitely be back to try some more flavors!

    They were making more of the missing ones, so you can still order them.
    Ileana S.

    This place is so good! Paletas are made fresh in-house everyday so they're all yummy. I had the coffee and my family all had the bubblegum. The paletas alone are so smooth and flavorful but you can add toppings also. Service was great, they explain everything if it's your first time and offer suggestions. We also got a creamy cantaloupe agua which was also very good and not too sweet. We will definitely be back to try the elote and the other paleta flavors.

    Leticia S.

    Paleta bar was very clean and staff was very friendly. I totally recommend coming here. The paletas are amazing, and I love how you can customize it to your liking!!

    We stumbled upon this place after a movie and decided to give it a shot. Will say that this is one of the best desserts I've EVER had. Im pretty sure the owner served us and she was seriously so kind and offered us samples. The place was pristinely clean. Truly blown away by this establishment.

    Scoop, scoop, hooray! I'm the 400th review for this business on Yelp…read more Since trying Handel's at previous Yelp events, I've had on my radar to try at one of their locations. Especially since my boyfriend loves ice cream. Today we made a lunch date when he was visiting town, complete with ice cream to cool us down on this warm July day in Arizona. We opted to eat in my car with air conditioning, though they have bench seating outside. In cooler months, I'm sure that seating is nice to sit at to enjoy your treat. What We Ordered: - Monkey Business scoop in a dipped waffle bowl: My boyfriend throughly enjoyed and said it was very banana forward; which is a plus for him. I personally hate banana, so he had something for once that I didn't take a girlfriend bite out of. - S'mores scoop in a dipped waffle bowl: Very interesting to have the base be graham cracker, but I really enjoyed. Love the little chocolate bits to add a crunch as you eat, though the mini marshmallows have a weird texture to me. Still a solid scoop, and I'll try other flavors when we return. Definitely looking forward to the location opening on Signal Butte, but glad we didn't wait until that opened to try. Delicious and I'm sure I'll visit the new location opening by my house.

    We've been to several Handel's locations over the years, and unfortunately, this was by far our…read moreleast favorite. First, the location itself is very small and cramped inside, and there isn't any outdoor seating, which made it difficult to enjoy our ice cream. The biggest disappointment here was the customer service. My friend ordered a milkshake for her two toddlers to share and politely asked if the extra half could be poured into a second cup. The employee had to ask the manager, who immediately said no. My friend explained that other Handel's locations have happily done this before, and even offered to pay for the extra cup. The manager still refused and told her she'd have to purchase two separate milkshakes instead. The request wasn't for extra product--just a second cup for two small children to share. What made the experience worse was the manager's attitude. She came across as rude and dismissive rather than trying to help find a reasonable solution. We understand that every location has its own policies, but customer service goes a long way. Unfortunately, between the cramped space and the poor experience with the manager, we won't be returning to this location.

This is nothing against the employee that was working a solo shift on a warm day, however she was not only behind on several orders (including online orders) but she couldn't even issue a refund to us as we waited 30 minutes already and had to leave soon. What was the store manager/owner thinking? By the time we realized she hadn't even started on the orders for the people already sitting at the tables, we started to doubt if we were going to get our ice cream in time. For what it is, the ice cream was very pricey for a regular (small) size. Basically I spent about $14 to just waste our time. The ambiance is nothing special and the tables/seats were not clean. Overall, I will most likely not come back to try this place. I would not recommend coming here unless you have a low standard for customer service and a lot of time to waste...

My kiddo is a chocolate fan, so he went with a small size chocolate with sprinkles and I went with their popular Blue Coconut dipped in Dark Chocolate Sea Salt. When she brought out our ice cream, I thought "oh, how simple" but the moment you take a bite of that ice cream, the flavor is far from simple. It's like that McDonald's ice cream soft serve style creaminess texture and flavor, but slightly richer. The coconut flavor with the sea salt dark chocolate crunch for me was exactly what I needed on that hot desert morning. Seating was plentiful inside and the customer service was definitely on point. I'll definitely be back to try some of their other dessert options like the crepes and even their boba teas.
