Handel's Homemade Ice Cream - Redondo Beach…read more Honestly, I can't say enough good things about this place, it's one of my favorites. I especially love the Strawberry Cheesecake ice cream, which is always delicious. One of the reasons I prefer this Redondo Beach location is their generous portions. They also allow you to choose two different flavors on a sugar cone, which some other locations (like Glendale) do not allow, they require the same flavor. That flexibility definitely makes a difference. Parking is plentiful, the service is excellent, and the ambiance is nice since you're enjoying your ice cream outdoors. Overall, it's a great spot, and I highly recommend it if you're in the area.

I had a very disappointing experience at Hansel's Ice Cream Redondo Beach Location…read more I came in to order for my two young children and was simply asking questions about portion sizes since they don't offer kids servings. The employee refused to accommodate a simple request, then accused me of having an attitude and closed the service window in my face. When I asked for a manager, another employee came out and said they supported the coworker and also refused to serve me. I was eventually served only after being told to "not have an attitude." I only completed the purchase because I had promised my kids ice cream, but the overall experience was disrespectful, unprofessional, and felt discriminatory. I would not recommend this place, especially for families.

A lot of people parked in areas that are forbidden to park or just stayed in the middle of the lane with double signal on and out of their car because they are only trying to pick up togo. Food was super delicious though. Consistent across other honeymees and the ice cream itself was already delicious. They have a restroom if you need it. This store is merged with another boba shop so order from the correct cashier! Super nice and friendly. Service was fast and small shop.

Big mistake....I wish I had stayed here. Sometimes you just want classic flavors done right, and that's exactly what they offer (no over-the-top combinations, just really good ice cream). The ambience is clean, there was a bit of a line but it moves quickly, and they have lots of flavors to choose from. The staff was super friendly and accommodating, and they happily let us sample before deciding. The Cookie Monster flavor was unforgettable. Definitely coming back next time.

Here are few key points: * Each year, the shop closes for the entire month of January for its annual winter break and the shop also occasionally closes on random dates, so check their Instagram page to make sure the shop is open on the day of your visit. * No samples! * $0.75 of every ice cream sold is donated to Community Loving (mutual aid organization that serves unhoused & low-income families & youth in the South Bay with the essential resources they need & deserve). * Each year, Kansha Creamery hosts a kids' flavor contest and turns those flavors into reality & ultimately features on Kansha's menu. * Their ice cream is made with Straus Family Creamery products. * Their pints are made without the use of gums or preservatives which causes them to freeze harder than store-bought ice cream, so place those pints in the fridge for 10-30 minutes before indulging. * Some flavors like black sesame are seasonal, but popular flavors like Mr. Universal and Matcha (both excellent) are available year-round. Two big thumbs up for their ice cream.

I've been wanting to try this place for a while and I'm so glad that I did!…read more There was a line out of the door when we came, but it does move by quick. I got the pistachio ice cream with mochi balls and red beans, which were not too sweet at all. The pistachio ice cream was really fresh and natural. It's not like the artificial pistachio flavor and it had whole pistachios in there for crunch. Loved it.

The self-serve frozen yogurt machines stood before me like gleaming monuments to dairy perfection. I grabbed a cup with trembling hands, positioning it beneath the first dispenser. The creamy ribbon of vanilla descended in a perfect spiral--smooth, pristine, impossibly white. I pulled the lever on the chocolate swirl. The moment it touched my tongue for a test taste, time stopped. Rich cocoa notes exploded across my palate, balanced perfectly with tangy yogurt cultures. Not too sweet. Not too tart. The temperature exactly cold enough to refresh without causing brain freeze. My taste buds sang in harmony! But the true battlefield lay ahead, the toppings bar. Fresh strawberries, gleaming like rubies. Mochi pieces that promised chewy resistance. Chocolate chips, cookie crumbles, crushed Oreos, gummy bears in every color. Nuts, almonds, pecans, walnuts waiting to add textural complexity. And the sauces! Hot fudge, caramel, strawberry syrup, positioned like weapons in an arsenal. With surgical precision, I assembled my masterpiece. Fresh fruit for brightness. Mochi for chew. A strategic drizzle of caramel forming golden rivers through vanilla peaks. At the register, the final moment: the weigh-in. Worth. Every. Ounce. As the first complete spoonful entered my mouth, all the elements united--creamy, crunchy, chewy, fruity, sweet--a symphony of texture and flavor that could only be described as... PERFECTION

I will say this, Menchies is good…read more The downside with brining young irresponsible kids is that they load up their custom creations with too many toppings and end up brining the total to $8 per cup and not finishing it. Alternatively, it feels more expensive than Ice Cream you can buy at a supermarket or a parlor like Handel's or Baskin Robins when you're paying over $20 for 3 kids. However, it is a fresh experience I guess and is perceived as fun.

There was a new flavor called pineapple upside down cake that had caught my eye so I handed him my credit card and told him to hook up the household. It's nice that you get credit toward future purchase discounts which are appreciated. I ordered a large that comes with 4 scoops. Besides the new item, I added cherry vanilla, rocky road, and butter pecan. Guess I was feeling a bit nutty. The pineapple was a little too cakey for me but I'm glad I tried it. Variety is the spice of life right? Hadn't had butter pecan in ages so that was a walk down memory lane. A Bruster's day is always a good day. Love my ice cream.

We've been passing this location for years now and decided finally to pop by. It was rainy, so I…read morewasn't expecting a crowd. I was right, but that still may be a bit unusual in SoCal, where we all scream for ice cream all year 'round. Large parking lot was mostly empty when we arrived and only filled in slightly for other businesses by the time we left, around 3:15pm. It took a minute for us to get noticed by the one person working, who we called out to a few times. She took our orders and got to work filling them. While we waited, I did a bit of inter webs research on why Bruster's resembled the same set up as Handel's. Turned out Bruce (the man behind Bruster's) worked for Handel's and had some of his own ideas about changes to the Handel's way of operating that, let's just say, Handel's wasn't open to trying. So Bruce went his own way, building on the same concept of ice cream made fresh daily in-house, unique flavors and a walk-up window. Interesting. Also interesting was the small portion in my waffle bowl. It was meant to be Medium, 2 flavors, but it looked more like a small, 2 flavors. In addition, the 2 scoops were offset with one flavor hanging over the edge, rather than in the bowl. Wonky. Lots of room in the bowl, why was it hard to aim the scoops into it? No one was being rushed, no line forming. This is a treat. Something special. Take a beat for the presentation. Especially if you're not giving full scoops. Make that bowl look like you filled it as best you can with the small amount you're dishing out. I haven't had this experience at other Brewster's, so maybe it's just how this location is run, or maybe just the person on this day. Don't think I'll return to find out. Cheers! "CC"

It's usually slow from the days I've visited but there are some times where it does peak up and since it's usually two employees it can take quite a while for your order to be taken and for your ice cream to ready.

Seriously, it was phenomenal. Perfect balance of creamy texture with those little honeycomb crunch bits... I was halfway through and already regretting not going bigger. The vanilla was clean and classic (always a good test), but that Hokey Pokey is the one you go back for. Cool little beachside vibe, quick service, and just one of those places that delivers exactly what you want when the ice cream craving hits. Definitely recommend stopping by if you're in Hermosa just do yourself a favor and don't undersize it like I did.
