Handel's Homemade Ice Cream — Restaurant in Long Beach

I love Handel's, hence the love handles.

Receiving 2 Handel's Homemade Ice cream 1 year Anniversary free single scoop coupons, I needed no other motivation to swing by for some creamy frozen happiness. Now, when Handel's says single scoop, they're really saying "Joke's on you, Fatty Arbuckle. You're getting 3 scoops. You're welcome!"

Spouse like a House- Malted vanilla ice cream w/ Reese's Peanut Butter ripple & chocolate covered pretzels. Nothing short of amazing, the Spouse like a House was a delectable combination. The crunch of chocolate covered pretzels, the fat from the Reese's Peanut Butter ripple, and that unique flavor malted milk is known for.

Hungry for more, I came by the very next day to redeem my other coupon.

Heavenly Hash- Chocolate ice cream w/ chocolate covered peanuts, chocolate chips & marshmallow ripple. A chocolate lover's dream, the Heavenly Hash overloaded my chocolate meter.

Service was good. The line was long during my first visit, but proceeded at a steady pace. Being an old fashioned ice cream parlor with pickup windows, there's no interior seating. There are a few places to sit outside, with the Hangar being the most optimal, for A/C & people watching. Handel's Homemade Ice Cream is located across Ulta Beauty, behind Wahoo's Fish Taco.

It's hard to be mad when you're eating ice cream. Handel's serve up some hard to beat ice cream. The only minor criticism I can muster, are the scant vegan options. Not that I'm vegan, mind you. It's just being lactose-intolerant, I expect the consequences to creep up later (if you know what I mean). It would be perfect if Spouse like a House & Heavenly Hash had coconut milk alternatives. Still, Handel's has legit ice cream &...

I decided to bring my son out to Long Beach for some summer fun. We are from Yorba Linda and frequent the Handel’s on Yorba Linda Blvd. I am truly mind blown at what I experienced today. Alani claimed to be the manager on staff, I asked to speak to her since I ordered a strawberry shake and had to wait over 25 min for it. When I arrived I was the second person in line so I didn't understand what the reason for this long wait could be. Mind you it is 87 degrees today and I can see inside the ice cream shop and see the workers laughing and joking. When I spoke to Alani she was unprofessional, racist and arrogant. All I was looking for was to share some feedback, if a shake is going to take this long to make perhaps the customer can be notified at the time of purchase so we can wait in the car with the AC on or change our order. I know this is not the way Handel’s treats customer as I have been a customer for many many years. So disappointed at the way I was treated today and I hope no one ever has to encounter this again. Alani BE BETTER, SET AN EXAMPLE FOR YOUR STAFF OR FIND A JOB THAT YOU ACTUALLY FEEL PASSIONATE ABOUT, stop treating customer with a...

11/13/2020 approximately 5:38pm. Ok. The ice cream is very good and they give generous portions. I love the Banana Cream Pie. A+ on flavor and quality. I had been going all the way to Redondo Beach to get me some so I was excited to get one so close. The issue I had was the wait. I don’t mind waiting a reasonable amount of time for good ice cream. I waited at least 25 minutes in line but that did not bother me. What frustrated me was seven people working inside and only one person was taking orders while four were in a corner chit-chatting and the line of customers wrapped around and reached the second window (for online orders). The other two were working( scooping and washing) but seemed to getting distracted by chit-chat group who moved from one area to another. Probably the group was dealing with a work related issue or their shift was over but come on guys, have some consideration for your customers. There were two couples who got in line behind me and left because the line did not move. I will give this place another chance and hope to remedy this poor rating. It will be a shame if I have to keep driving to Redondo Beach when there is one these...
