We stopped here because we saw there were vegan options. There were two -- a berry sorbet and a chocolate cookie dough. I got the cookie dough. It was really good! The prices were reasonable, especially considering the giant portion sizes. I got a small, and it was much more than expected! My partner, who was planning on having a medium, saw mine and quickly changed his mind for a small instead.
Service was friendly and helpful, and pretty fast.
Definitely recommend.
Wide range of delicious ice cream choices! You could sample ice cream here before, but they have now stopped doing that. I think that it was very helpful to try different flavors every time. There could be a line outside the store at times, but they are typically very quick to help customers get what they like.
Some of the best scoops of ice cream I’ve ever seen for still regular price! As I am gluten-free and lactose free, my options are limited, but I was still able to have the pink champagne and the strawberry with other sorbet options and dairy free options available! My parents had normal flavors and they love them as well. Definitely hope to come back without the open one in the bay
We LOVE Handel's and would have given 5 stars but one of our scoops was skimpy and 2 of the selections were softer than we prefer. Ordered our favorite (and best value) - "The Sampler" to share. Flavors were all SO delicious that we couldn't choose a favorite! Ordered Monkey Biz, Mud Pie, Black Cherry & Pumpkin. See photo.
Long line but did not take very long. LOTS of flavors on the menu I could barely decide. The small size had 2 and a half scoops which was so much for 5 dollars. Like I know that's still a lot of money but considering the ice cream being homemade I think it was a good price. I went with blue monster but they only let me get one flavor which was kind of sad since I also wanted birthday cake. The ice cream was soooooo good! I had some of my mom's too and she got vanilla caramel brownie and it tasted super good too. Would really recommend super duper good just a line and you only get to pick one flavor 😭.
Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream is an absolute delight, and I can confidently say that it has become a favorite spot for my family and me. The great team of staff, the inviting atmosphere, and, most importantly, the delicious taste of the ice cream have left a lasting impression on us. We have since visited numerous times, and the quality has remained consistently high. Whether you're a local resident or a tourist passing through, Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream is a must-visit destination for any ice cream lover.

Great ice cream. We frequent this establish and also the one closer to our house and both have an excellent choice of ice cream, shakes, hurricanes and more.
The lines can get a bit long, but you know what they say..... Something about good things coming to those who wait or something?!? it's true. If you do see a line out the door, trust me, it's worth it!
Price is decent, line moves quick, ice cream is delicious and workers are very nice and knowledgeable about the different flavors.
Will try to update with photos - currently just stopping to get a shake for the ride home from Universal.
This is one of our “Go To” dessert spots… service is always kind and helpful, the local owner is amazing and we of course love the incredible ice cream and milkshakes! Hit up the Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie or the Mint Oreo!
First time going here and i head straight to the register cause idk how it works inside since it was empty. And idk if this girl is new or what but i was there for like 20 seconds without any acknowledgment and we just looked at each other for good 5 seconds and not even a hi or smile so i just said my order. But overall i like the ice cream it’s very creamy and good amount of oreo chunks!
And no bloating so that’s a plus for me!
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!
