Handel's is one of my go to establishments on the other side of the freeway. The customer service is always exceptional, the ice cream flavors are a treat, and I find pleasure in the rocky road, or new flavors that always appearing. So, if you find yourself near Camino De Los Mares, on the other side of the freeway, away from the beach and doing errands, come grab something to cool off. If you are lucky you can snag a table and indulge or consume in your car.

I have no problem with this particular location, but rather Handel's as a whole…read more Why is the smallest size 3 large scoops?! This is exactly why America has a diabetes and obesity epidemic. Get your portions right. But then you taste the dismal quality of the ice cream and you can see why the are selling quantity over quality. They load up on the sizes because it's inferior to any gelato shop. I've tried both the pistachio and peanut butter flavors. In both cases, the nuts were soggy and chewy like clay or rubber. The ice cream is overly sweet and does not have a creamy texture. I've given this place two visits and I won't be back, unless a normal small sized ice cream is added to the menu. The only positive about Handel's is that they seem to be open late.

Zero if I could. Came here before the beach to grab a quick bowl, Tiffany was the rudest. I asked…read moreif they were still making my bowl, after waiting here for 20 minutes. She responds in a very abrasive tone you need to have patience in the middle of a rush, and now she says its going to be 5 more minutes. With maybe a few online orders and no one else in the store who was waiting for an order. I ask can I have a refund, then Tiffany proceeds to ignore me and walk away. This is the worst customer service and place i've been to. She is in the back washing dishes not helping this poor other girl working either. Im sorry but this was just unacceptable . Horrible experience.

I'm not too sure, but now that I finally got around to posting my review a week or so later, the menu has changed. The person who took my order was ok. He didn't really make an effort to recommend certain cookies or anything. I ordered 1/2 dozen cookies so that we can sample all the flavors and one large banana upside down cake. 1. Milk chocolate chip - I think it was the best. You can't mess with a classic. 2. Pink velvet cake cookie - I'm not too sure what they were going for here. Is it supposed to be similar to a red velvet cake only pink? Didn't really taste like anything. 3. Kentucky butter cake - Everyone seems to rave about this, but after trying it, I'm not sure what all the hype was about. 4. Confetti milkshake - Tasted like a sugar cookie with confetti sprinkles 5. Sticky bun - This was definitely sticky, but I liked what they tried to do here. 6. Large banana upside down cake - This tasted like a banana bread, fluffy, and moist. I liked the whip cream or whatever it was with the caramel drizzle. Overall, it was alright. Something good to try again and try the new flavors they have. I like that they are trying to be creative and innovative with the flavors. Maybe I'm just old school and prefer Mrs. Fields.

They weren't even busy. Finally we got attention and service. Barely any smile from the staff. It was just meh. Anyway, we ordered 1 Medium Strawberry Lemonade Twist and 1 Medium Acai Berry Smoothie. Both drinks were good. I would get the acai smoothie again. Not sure if I would come back to this Juice It Up! to get it though. If you don't care about service and just want some juice drinks, then this is the juice place for you.

Highly recommend for a fun family outing or whenever you're craving something sweet!

Carrie B. was absolutely AWFUL!!! I have shopped at this particular NBC location numerous times, as…read morewell as others, and have always had a great experience. But NOT today. I walked in with another customer and the store/counter was empty. Carrie came out and didn't greet either one of us. The other customer had a pre-order and it wasn't ready. She didn't apologize for that and took SO long to complete it. She literally moved like a turtle and the customer was not happy. He pre-ordered it and needed it then. While we were waiting, 2 other customers came in. By the time she got to me (8 minutes later), she didn't apologize for the wait or make any of us feel welcome. I purchased 5 bundlet cakes - 3 of which were going to be put in a "triple tower" - and picked out the accessories for it. She rang me up and then proceeded to tell me she'd complete my order after she helped the 2 customers! WTH!!! Finish my order! She proceeded to talk to the other 2 customers - both of whom had online orders. She had to make 1 of them because it also wasn't ready. Again, NO apologies for anything! Especially to me for ignoring me and my purchase!! I just stood there in disbelief. Her attitude was terrible and she didn't thank any of us for our purchases, orders, etc. I submitted the NBC online survey and hope she is spoken to by management and reprimanded.

How are you supposed to enjoy the toppings when the cup is already filled to the very top? You pay extra for toppings, but they have to pile them on the sides, so they just fall right off.

There is no secret about how hot it has been lately, and taking a moment to cool off from the heat is needed. Stopping in and grabbing something cool is one of my favorite rituals. Location is top notch because it's across the street from the pier. Often you will see golf carts parked in front of the establishment and families hanging out and savoring ice cream, sorbet, etc. and just taking in the view and making memories. The service is always welcoming and top notch. My family loves coming here. Please note, due the trains coming regularly, there will be noise so if you are sensitive to that, bring some headphones or ear plugs. Especially, if you have little ones who are sensitive. I would recommend Beach Ice cream and Yogurt hands down. 10/10.
