Even though visiting Handel's is practically a regular tradition for us, I've never thought to write a review simply because we come here so often. We got super lucky during this visit because there was unexpectedly no line, letting us walk right up to order our go-to favorites: a delicious Blue Monster for myself and a bright Cotton Candy for my son. What truly makes this Oceanside spot such a fantastic, family-friendly location is the setup right across the street--it is an awesome place to sit and eat your ice cream right in front of the library courtyard, surrounded by open air and beautiful architecture. Have you been to Handels? What's your favorite go to ice cream flavor?

The Choco tacos were so delicious, a little difficult to eat, but delicious nonetheless! My little brother DEVOURED the frozen chocolate covered banana, he absolutely loved it! They also have a small selection of candies & some old school Knick knacks to look at! A ton of options of ice cream flavors, shakes, malts, sundaes, you name it! The place itself is extremely small, no AC, & gets CRAMPED inside to the point you're squishing your way through people just to get out. There is some seating outside, none inside. Parking can be tough, the parking lot is kind of confusing & make sure you're paying attention to the signs as lots of the spots are for boat permits only!

The shop also sells a variety of candies and snacks, which makes it a fun place for kids. Since it's located next to a bar, there is often live music on Friday and Saturday nights, creating a lively and enjoyable atmosphere. Parking can be a bit difficult, and getting in and out of the parking area feels quite tight. The shop is also filled with a lot of merchandise, so the space can feel a little cramped. Overall, it's a fun spot to grab some ice cream by the beach, especially if you enjoy a lively atmosphere and live music on the weekends.

I was in this area of Oceanside in the valley and was looking for ice cream. Upon recommendations,…read moreI came across Ocean Rainbow ice cream parlor. Remotely hidden in the back of the shopping plaza on El Camino Real & Mission Ave, is this gem of a small ice cream shop, Ocean Rainbow. One could easily drive right past them because of their small signage on the exterior. The shop is very small and see maybe 10 people. Yeah, very friendly service that is excellent and fast to greet and offer a free sample. This ice cream shop has a very large variety of flavors that are native to Mexican culture. They have ice cream scoops, milkshakes, water-based popsicles, sherbets, sundaes, chamango, banana splits, icicles, elotes, esquites, Tostilocos, popsicles, shaved ice and a whole lot more. You can find flavors like guava, rice, pistachio, coconut, Oreo, cookie dough, rocky road, mango, mamey, cactus fruit, pine nut, MAZAPAN, chamoy, tamarindo, burnt milk, Gansito and even tequila. There most popular item is the Fresas Con Crema. Prices are very reasonable and I got a 3-scoop chocolate waffle cone for $8. They also have fresh-made aguas frescas that are made to-order and esquimales too! I highly recommend checking this spot out the next time you have a sweet tooth!

Super friendly, helpful staff. The sweet girl with the glasses was attentive and busy cleaning and stalking when not serving guests. She suggested some flavors, gave samples after I gave her an idea of what I was looking for. Alexandra greeted me upon entering. I asked her about the area and I appreciated her sharing her story about growing up in the area and giving me points of interest to visit. The refreshing berry yogurt and fresh toppings hit the spot. They rotate yogurts daily but offer a good variety from tart to sweet and everything in between. My take away is the yogurt is great and staff better.

I love the variety of flavors they give. New flavors come and go somewhat regularly and that keeps it interesting. The inside is clean. The prices are average, but they really give you so much yogurt that it makes it worth it. They really pile it high. The service is fine, never had a bad experience with it. They're generally friendly. I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a new frozen yogurt spot.

After trying a couple of tasty samples, I ordered a scoop of their more popular guava cream cheese ice cream in a waffle cone. It was rich and thick and absolutely delicious.

Overall, though, a tasty and unique ice cream shop that definitely hits the spot.
