Fast, friendly service and a good selection of homemade ice creams. I got a hot fudge sundae with Oreo ice cream 🤤

Great ice cream, always expect a line out the door but it goes quick10/10 would recommend the Mud Slide!

If you get a single or double scoop, note that the servings are huge. They have a four flavor sample which is a great way to try multiple flavors. Icecream is creamy and not overbearingly sweet. Praline pecan is a good find! Theres seating outdoor and takeout. Also a decent parking lot and the place gets busy.

First time coming here and definitely wont be the last. Very organized ice cream shop with seriously great tasting ice cream. By the way if youre a fan of Baskin Robbins cheesecake ice cream (which they discontinued) you must try the raspberry cheesecake @Handels--its a 💯 times better.Looking for something simple, cant go wrong with a classic root beer float-- very satisfying.

The best creamy ice cream! Amazing selection and friendly staff. Highly recommend coming here.

We had Handel’s cater our wedding dessert! Best decision we ever made! Our guests went crazy over it and The whole team at Handel’s made the process so easy from start to finish!! Thanks again !

We discovered Handels a few months ago and it has become one of our favorite local ice cream shops. Our dog loves their frosty paws and we love the constant rotation of flavors as theres always something new to try! February has my personal favorite of chocolate covered strawberry!

I absolutely love Handel’s, I’ve only tried 4-5 flavors, but each one has been sooooo dang delicious, you can’t lose. I’m sad I’ve only known about the place for less than a year. Employees are also always very nice and helpful

Best ice cream in SoCal. Try their 4 scoop sampler ... you choose your flavors. Best buy.

Totally lived up to the hype. My friends couldn’t stop raving so I had to give it a shot. The employees were more than I could’ve asked for. Efficient, kind, enthusiastic and helpful. The girl helping me really made my day. I got the graham central station per her suggestion and it was incredible!!! Serving sizes are big and it was so delicious. Best ice cream around. No doubt I will be back for more :)

I visit them every day.The best chocolate maltsThe staff are absolutely amazing.GREAT JOB!!!

Possibly the best ice cream in Orange County? Insane variety of flavors. Super rich, flavorful ice cream. Prices are unbelievable for south orange county. There was a line out the door and now I know why. Worth the wait!

Amazing indescribable delicious. I loved the signage and its true if its not good ice cream there will be no queue of people waiting to try it

OK I may be a little biased because I work at Handels but I just have to brag! The ice cream is made fresh daily and is the real deal! Its so creamy and yummy I have a freezer full of quarts and pint that I purchase. The owners are awesome and the staff is so much fun to work with. Right now everyone needs to try Elvis! Its a banana ice cream, made with real bananas, with a peanut butter ripple! New favorite at our house! Go try it!

Lots of selection so theres a flavor for everyone. They are offering Coffee as Flavor of the Month and they had several options, I really liked it.

Great flavors they let you taste and amazing service. They have so many flavors we decided to go with the sampler which is 4 different flavors. Love this place and would definitely go back.

I love Handels! Faithful customer here. Im a big fan of the scoops, malts, and milkshakes. Lemon Bar, Key Lime Pie, and Graham Central Station have been my recent favorite flavors. If youre looking for a uniquely crafted ice cream that you cant find anywhere else, you should consider this place.

Was not expecting to come here and my tastebuds are already wanting more. Classic flavors available in addition to some unique creative ones. A few tables with umbrellas outside for seating. We were lucky it wasn’t too busy at the time but as they say “you don’t see lines at bad ice cream places”…or something like that.

Handels multi-family owned franchise has wonderful ice cream! It is homemade and has about 30 different flavors. Graham Central Station is my wifes favorite, and I go for a custom Black Forest milkshake...black cherry ice cream with chocolate syrup....delicious! My 92 year old father loves the chocolate malts. Prices are reasonable and this place has become a neighborhood family hang-out at night. Check it out!

Amazing, as usual!! Blueberry cheese cake is delish!

Such a good choice in going to Handel’s ice cream!! The ice cream was so good especially on such a hot day! It really refreshed me and helped me get through the day. The customer service was amazing as well. I got my ice cream very quick and it looked amazing too!! Totally recommend!!

Always fast service and delicious ice cream piled high

Hands down the best ice cream Ive had in years. I highly recommend it. The customer service was excellent, easy to order and fast service too.

Delicious Homemade ice cream.For me and my wife this is the most delicious Ice Cream Store in all Orange County.Miss Ann is an Excellent and Friendly staff in this store.

Ya this place definitely has an abundance of flavors to choose from ... which does make it a bit difficult. Overall it was good. 4 stars because the person who helped me wasnt even smiling. But the workers were friendly. Maybe it was just an off day for her.

Love the ice cream. Wish the line would move a little quicker.

Affordable. Best customer service. Delicious flavors

It was the highlight of today. Stumbled on it due to to the huge crowd waiting in line to get in. It turned out than part of the reason for the long line is the slowness of the workers. They could have been way more efficient. My daughter and I couldn’t decide amongst the many choices they have. Handele’s Hommemade Ice Cream 🍨 started in Ohio in 1945 y Alice Handel.

My wifes favorite treat. You can taste the quality. Very family friendly

This is probably the best ice cream I’ve ever had in my life. The staff was very friendly. Definitely worth the trip to get it.

“Never skimps.... on the sugar”🤮 most overrated ice cream in SoCal more like it

So many flavors to choose from, especially if you have a sweet tooth! First time here we tried the Graham Central Station and it was delightful. It has graham crackers and chocolate like malt balls through out. Will have to come back and try their other flavors when I want something super sweet.

Very delicious ice cream with unique flavors. Mine was deep dish apple pie! Yum!!

Always a great place for family and friends to meet and get something cold to eat

Excellent milk shakes! Though I wish they used heavy creme and had low-carb ice cream.

Amazing experience! This was my first time trying handels ice cream and it was great! The employee helping me was very kind and patient and helped me choose my flavor. I got the Mint with Oreo and it was amazing.

Whenever i think about ice cream Handels is the only place i want to go! There are so many fun and creative flavors offered along side the classics that they do so well! It’s so crazy to think all of the ice cream is home made since there’s so many flavors but that’s definitely why it’s as good as it is!

Ice Cream that is delicious!! Gorgeous gelato in a variety of flavors. There was a queue, but the ten-minute wait was well worth it. What a fantastic procedure!

Best Milkshake Anywhere! I was so happy to see they are open during lockdown. Placed my order and they asked me to wait outside and brought me the most incredible malted shake. I highly recommend them.

I love creamy chocolaty ice cream and it looks like I went to the right place! All of their ice cream is homemade and delicious. It is so rich and creamy, I dont know how they do it!

One of the best ice cream places in Orange County. Love coming here. The staff is really friendly and even though lines can be long (depending on the time), it moves quickly. However, if you’re not down to wait, the pick up system is really good. My favorite flavor is Graham Central Station.

Delicious ice cream, good prices and wonderfully pleasant staff 😃

SHEEEEESH there are so many flavours!! and every single flavor is amazing!! if youre looking for an icecream shop this is the place do get some! you can get cup, cone, or a whole pint! (to take home of course) although there is always a long line.. its definetly worth it.

Came here the other night and honestly the owner and kids were so rude.... does it matter what the ice cream tastes like when the customer experience is so poor? Wish they cared a little bit more about making sure the experience was enjoyable.

Handels serves the best ice cream in all of OC. It has been my go-to place for ice cream for the past two years now and I am addicted. Amazing staff and amazing flavors to chose from. Graham central station and chocolate PB brownie are must try flavors.

SUCH incredible flavors, its hard to choose! Dont come if you have decision paralysis. Or you can be like me, and get the four flavor sampler. Worth every calorie.

This ice cream is freakin DELICIOUS!!!! Love all the cone/cup choices too!!

Great place for ice cream! Highly recommend going there! They provide 50 flavors at once and sometimes its too hard to choose! No wonder the line fills up all time!

Their ice cream is the absolute best! Their prices are great. I recommend the four scoop sampler if you have a hard time choosing a flavor!!

The ice cream is amazing!! The service even better! Their team is always willing to answer any of my questions, even when I ask the same thing several times!!!

My absolute favorite place to go for the best ice cream! Love the workers, everyone is so kind and enthusiastic. Strawberry margarita is an all time favorite!!

Best ice cream in town! The owners are usually there and super cool. The ice cream options of flavors are out of this world.

They scooped ice cream at my daughters wedding and it was definitely a hit! Super easy to work with, they brought a mobile cart and the ice cream was delicious, as always. Will definitely be hiring again!

I live in lou,ky wish could move them there. Well worth the money. Did not have enough time to check all the flavors.

By far my favorite ice cream in the area! Homemade at the store! Also their vegan flavors taste great!

One of the best ice creams I had. Staff is super friendly. Super close to where I live so it is my new treat spot. I highly recommend this place if you are icecream lover or even if you are not as much😆

So impressed with the “camo” frosted.cake for our sons 18th birthday. Delicious ice cream cake, with the perfect color touch. Home run!!

Definitely some of the best ice cream I’ve had. So good! And inexpensive

Best place to go for ice cream! We were actually suggested this place when we moved here and do not regret trying it. They have a huge flavor selection and its all been pretty good. I feel like Im getting my moneys worth here and wont be going anywhere else for a while.

Portions are generous, very friendly staff. Loved it.

Loved the ice cream there, cant wait for more

Great ice cream.

Best ice cream anywhere. National Geographics (2015) voted Handels #1 out of the 10 best ice cream in the world.

I could definitely eat Handels every day for the rest of my life!! Employees are so fun and always make it a great experience :)

Such an unprofessional company, if you are thinking about getting a job here DONT. They will waste your time having you drive 20+ minutes for the interview, then them telling you there “hiring like 30 people”, and that “I got the position and I would hear back by Sunday with the training schedule”, then heard nothing then when I asked on the following day they said they were finishing up interviews and would get back to me by the next day, well 3 days later I reach out finding out that they’re moving on with other candidates. Thanks for the time waste, now I’m scrambling to find a new job as I put in my two weeks with my current employer.

Under staffed, line down the block. Really disappointed.

Handels is the best! There are so many great options to choose from and always new seasonal flavors to try :)

Very nice! A absolute hit every time!

Easily the best ice cream ever!! Graham Central Station is my personal favorite.

So glad we finally got one in OC. Fell in love with their ice cream in Ohio. The scoops are really generous and they always are rotating flavors. My favorites so far are Graham Central station and Birthday Cake. Of course always gotta take home a quart too. Its that good.

I’ve been told, how totally awesome Handel’s ice cream is.....So I finally tried it.... and it’s FRIGGEN amazing🍨🍧🍦

The best ice cream Ive had in a long time! The chocolate peanut butter brownie ice cream is the perfect blend of salt and sweet. A single cone is two and a half scoops - it looked daunting but sure went down easy...

Ice creams delicious but don’t trust their operating hours, I’ve had experiences where they close an hour early out of nowhere.

Amazing every time! Cinnamon Roll Ice Cream is my favorite!!

Love it, great success story, friendly people and great tasting icecream. Good specials (jan 2021) buy a gift card for 25 and get a 5 $ coupon = 20% off. Go for it,1

I am a recent convert to Handels, but its quickly become our favorite ice cream shop in the area. They have an ever changing array of flavors to chose from, so theres bound to be something for even the pickiest of ice cream connoisseurs.

Extremely great ice cream. Made fresh every day. Lines do go fast. I have been going here since they have opened.

The best ice cream I’ve ever had!! The employees are so patient and efficient, my experience couldn’t have been better!

The best ice cream. Period.

Good old fashioned homemade ice cream done right. So many flavors to choose from here. You will not be disappointed. Simply exquisite

Tasty dairy free options also.

Best ice cream in the world.

Banana Cream Pie Ice Cream is my favorite.All of their flavors are really good. The price is about what youd pay for a pint of Ben & Jerrys, but thw y have way more. I havent had any of the Sundays///split///shakes, but soon.

Went here back in October of 2019 and the owner was rude to me because i didnt know how to order. If you want 2 scoops of ice cream apparently you cant just say that. They have a special way of ordering. She didnt make me feel comfortable and spoke to me very passive aggressive. It was the older caucasian women (owner). Her customer service needs improvement. Its a shame because honestly their ice cream is good but ONE of the owners isnt very inviting.

They are practicing social distancing - We had our first visit on a warm Thursday afternoon. The ice cream is fabulous - creamy and it has that springiness before it melts. I was pleasantly surprised by the cotton candy and cupcake flavors - they were on point!

Had to update my review- because I tried this place again and was very impressed! My husband and I shared a brownie hot fudge sundae with vanilla and cookies & cream ice cream. It was absolutely delicious. Service was great as well- and they don’t skimp on the hot fudge! The brownie was awesome as well. Thanks for a great treat!

Good quality product. Seems a little pricey for the experience...but that may have been the lack of enthusiasm from the person helping us though. Id be willing to give it another go!

Delish! Monkey business and dark raspberry chunk in a waffle bowl!

Great selection of fun and unique flavors. Very generous servings and friendly service. Our faves are French silk pie, graham central station, oree dough and caramel pretzel crunch. Wish they had a kid-sized scoop!

Went to this Handels with the boys and it was a prime experience! The staff is legit and the ice cream is HEAVENLY!!

This place is the bomb. Dont miss the chocolate banana for $3. What a bargain. Its $5 everywhere else and as good as you will get anywhere.Portions are large and the ice cream as good as you will find anywhere.Wish it was closer to where I live.

The second day back to public school for my son, and the passing of Eddie Van Halen. A bittersweet day, to say the least. So, this day required an ice cream. Since wed never been to Handels before, we felt this was a good time for it. OMG! Big, robust flavor, compared to other Ive been places. Super clean store and great service. Prices were on par with (39-8) Flavors. Coffee chocolate chip malt, pumpkin pie cone and smores cone. All were awesome. My kid kept saying how good it was, and hes a bit hard to please.

Solid, old school, homemade ice cream. A rare find nowadays.

Best flavors, try the sampler, best value

Amazing ice cream and frozen desserts. Stay away please, you make it too crowded for me. ) Cant say enough about their ice cream. Its the best west of the Mississippi!

Handels is always a good experience and there are so many flavors to choose from!

Every visit is a five star rating; delicious; clean; friendly; and quick. Favorite flavors: Lemon Meringue Pie and New York Cheesecake.

Good simple ice cream and fairly quick service along with pleasant staff

Easily some of the best ice cream Ive ever had anywhere, second only to extreme top tier artisanal ice cream places you cant find in Orange County. The quality of the ice cream here is top notch, as is their impressive variety (something even the best artisanal ice cream places often dont have), and the service is always great as well. Theres a reason this place sometimes draws a crowd, but its worth the wait.

Has all my favorite ice cream flavors!
