Handel's has the creamiest hard ice cream around. Our favorite ice cream place was closed due to a staffing shortage, so we decided to give this place a try, and we're glad we did. The cinnamon roll and chocolate coffee chip ice creams were extremely delicious. One can have a choice between a regular or waffle cone, and even a waffle bowl! We arrived on a Friday night around 7:20 and had to let others order ahead of us because there were many flavors to choose from, including Spouse Like a House and Pumpkin Ripple. Although it wasn't busy -- perhaps because of the lateness of the season -- there was still a steady stream of people patronizing the place. The servers were quite pleasant and greet you with a smile. Give this place a try. You won't be disappointed!

First time here! Won't be the last. I saw them on one of the Saturday morning shows, I believe WNEP 16's Home & backyard where they did a segment. I got their chocolate and peanut butter hurricane which is equivalent to a flurry or blizzard. It was made with chocolate ice cream and was mixed with peanut butter cups. This ice cream was thick and creamy. This was delicious! Recommend all to try! Until next time, be blessed and stay safe!

The creaminess of Handel's ice cream, combined with the unique flavors, make this a top creamery in my opinion. I highly recommend the spouse like a house (pretzel bites with peanut butter swirl) and graham central station (graham cracker base, need I say more?). Only reason they aren't getting five stars is because I wish the staff would follow CDC recommendations and wear a mask inside.

My wife ordered an ice cream cake Monday for a Friday pickup. The person took the order and said the manager would call us if she had any questions. My wife called back Thursday afternoon and confirmed the order and was told we could pick it up anytime Friday. Well I get there Friday and there is no cake. The ā€œmanagerā€ informed me that if she did not talk with us personally there is no order. We the customer ā€œ can’t expect her kids to take an order and get the message to her because this is their first jobā€. I’ve personally never been treated with such hostility from the moment the manager came to the window to tell me there is no cake. She also said that we should know that if we didn’t talk to her there is no order. Not sure how we were supposed to know that when we were told twice the cake would be ready Friday. It’s a shame because their ice cream is very good, but after the experience this morning we won’t be...

I asked the owner if she thought it was important to protect customers by placing signs ā€œ please wear a maskā€ ā€œ keep 6 feet apartā€- obviously not concerned w saftey or contamination of her paying customers told me ā€œ that’s why America’s. a free countryā€. Freedom doesn’t equate to jeopardizing people’s health and clearly not following PA DOH/CDC guidelines .your a business owner in food service who doesn’t wear a mask in while working at your own business ...very ignorant and reckless ...it’s not about freedom it’s about doing the right thing in your community...
