The yogurt flavors rotate, which is pretty nice. You get a nice surprise each time you go and the employees are so nice to offer a taste of any you may be wary about. The toppings.. Whoaa.. Pretty much anything you can imagine here is available from standard sprinkles.. To cheesecake bites and even fruity pebbles cereal! Must also mention the fruit toppings are always fresh.. From mango to pineapple.. Just yumm all around! read more

This place continues to be a hotspot in the Fairfield area. Read my past reviews because they definitely still stand, but I wanted to add that they do a very good job of marking what is gluten-free on the labels. I will say that they have a couple of flavors with oats which I would not have marked as gluten-free if you are celiac or gluten intolerant because of the ongoing issue with cross-contamination in oats. read more

The Froyo and ice cream here are soooo creamy and yummy. Their toppings were very fresh and nice looking. Store was very clean. On street parking. read more

Vegan options! It is so difficult to find vegan soft serve options. We loved being able to enjoy this type of frozen treat again. We really appreciated the clean shop, the organized cups, and toppings. Everything was very clean and staff members were helpful and kind! Everything tasted great! read more

16 Handles was a great way to cool down in the heat! So many choices of froyo but I went with peanut butter cup. So good! Pictured is my daughter's. She chose 3 froyo flavors with coconut being the favorite. The fruit toppings and candy choices were plentiful. The rainbow cookies are a personal favorite! It is always crowded- every time we go but that's the sign of a fun, delicious, option! Definitely stop in if you are browsing around Fairfield. read more

16 Handles - a bowl of gummy bears - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

This 16 handles joint smelled like rotten eggs and dirty mop water. Walked in and immediately had to hold my nose to see if that would help. ...It didn't. All my wife and I wanted was froyo but after being in there for less than 10 seconds we had to go go. read more

Loved the atmosphere and ambience. Everything was clearly marked and the service was very good. Ice cream is one of my food groups so this place is perfect. read more

I love 16 handles. I get it Nutella themed. This past time I went, there was no Nutella flavor. I am very upset as to why I rated it a 4/5. Make Nutella a permanent flavor like chocolate or vanilla!!! read more

Always the best!! 16 Handles really can't disappoint. The new banana oat milk vegan yogurt hits!! I will be back in a few days lmao

Dropped by here for a sweet treat. They have lots of flavors. They even offer vegan options, oat based ice cream. I had half cake batter and half peanut butter cup, topped with cheesecake bites and 2 rainbow cookies. There were so many topping options. If you're in a rush you can even order online and they will bring it to your car however, nothing beats going in and serving yourself. The space is pretty big, clean and bright. You can sit inside or on the benches outside. read more

Always fun coming here for dessert! I like the new "dividers" so I can have totally different flavors in one cup! Tonight I had half original tart and half mint cookies. I added my own toppings too! I got here at the perfect time. When I was leaving, the place became extremely crowded. Also, I was disappointed there was no one was giving out sample cups. All in all, always a great treat. read more

This place is good and there frozen yogurt is tasty and delightful and there toppings are good

Average frozen yogurt shop. Not the best selection of flavors, pretty good options for toppings. The prices are right there with other frozen yogurt joints. I like their seating inside and outside as this place is in a nice location in downtown Fairfield. read more

Finally a frozen yogurt place in Fairfield County that has the good stuff! Get your cup, get your flavors, add you toppings... weight your creation and for $0.55 per ounce you're ready to enjoy some Fro-Yo! First day we went was a mad house, hundreds of people in- and outside the building. The next day we went back, still packed but not as crazy as the day before. Get the TagTile application on your iPhone to get discounts/deals... Until we will se the OG Yogurtland in this part of town, 16 Handels is my fav.fro.yo.spot! Eurotart with mochi rules!!! read more

On late Friday night, I went into 16 handles and was welcomed by smiles from the cashier. After "handling" my fro-yo, the cashier was so happy to help me! She helped me with the whipped cream and checked me out. Five star service. read more

Great service, decent froyo, okay flavors. Pretty good value. Only complaint is that the taste, texture, and variety is not as great as other places I've been to. Im just a visitor, but I found out they stopped doing taro since December. They just have basic flavors now. The only unique one is a soy milk which tastes weirdly sweet and flaky. Fair place. read more

It was delicious. There were so many flavors to pick from and so many toppings. Also some of the flavors were cool like the strawberry lemonade flavor and cookie doe. They don't just have ice cream to. They also had smoothies which are very good. I had birthday cake with cookie doe and vanilla with bananas and gummy worms and gummy bears. You can get one flavor or you can get 5 different flavors with all the toppings. So if you like big or small I've cream this is the place for you. read more

Just like S Cali one would encounter places like this on practically every street corner/strip mall. An alternative to fat laden ice cream in such a heath & body conscious state- bcz you know- yogart is so much more healthy right? I'm suspect! 16 flavores everyday like green apple, banaana, red velevet cake & a tart European style similar to the posh Pinkberry's down the street, w some being changed out periodically. Creamy not too cold. Great variety to please kids, collage students & persnikety Ffld adults. You determine the amount of frozen yogart & choose your topping/sauce. Some clever & sugary high calorie options are: Heathbar, Oreo, chocolate covered Ricecrispies, hot fudge, caramel or one could lean toward the healthier theme & choose from Lychee fruit, blackberries, raspberries or bananas. Pay by weight. Server available to walk you through flavors & offer samples. Fairly big space w/o tables inside just a long communal bench along the wall. But there are benches outside too. Cute concept. A bit less in price if you are conservative w the portion. Street parking. read more

Best, most delicious self-serve fro yo place I've ever been too. After an awesome meal at Mecha, we wanted something sweet. The place next store had a ridiculous wait (who waits that long in line for ice cream?!?!) So I looked up places near by and we walked right over. I had the peanut butter and the Nutella frozen yogurt with carob chips, peanut butter and chocolate sauce and whipped cream! So damn good. The hubby and I walked back to our car eating our delicious treats past the still waiting, long ass ice cream line at Milkcraft and no joke, they all just stared at us with jealous eyes read more

5 stars for having the nutritional information readily available for all to see. Also I appreciate how they label all vegan items. They also label fat free, no sugar added, etc. Very clean place. There was someone maintaining all 16 handles, another person keeping a watchful eye on all self serve toppings (so many choices (vegan carob chips!!!!)) and two cashiers to allow every one to check out fast. The cashier was nice and asked if I had a rewards card. I said no and she gave me one without asking for all my information (fast checkout). I had to register it at home on their website. 1 point for every dollar spent and another 25 points just for signing up. 50 points later you get $5 off. My favorite part...they compost all paper cups and spoons! They must be made out of plants. If only every business did this... Plenty of seating inside and outside. read more

16 Handles - Vegan! Coconut water sorbet with strawberries, carob chips, & cookie crumbs! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

My kids and I live for our weekly fix!! Sam and Shy are awesome!!! Beware....a full cup of yogurt and toppings can really set you back! Lol read more

There is a lot of foot traffic in August. There are crumbs everywhere. I wanted to start sweeping and wiping surfaces down as soon as I walked in. BUT I found vegan vanilla yogurt and vegan watermelon sorbet which never happens in these type of petri dish spit swap yogurt shops. The vanilla on its own is a bit bland but once you start topping with vegan chocolate chips or vegan gingerbread crumbs it's a so delicious. I Love this place. I know I will be back often! read more

16 Handles - Totally vegan and so amazing - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

typical fro-yo shop. everything seemed clean and kept-to. it was over run with middle schoolers but what can you do about that. the toppings bar was great read more

I wish I had never discovered this place because I'm addicted already. Thanks a lot Yelp. The place was empty when I walked in (6:30 on a Tuesday night) except for one squealing hyena sitting at the tables. It could have also been a small child. I've never been here before so I wasn't sure how the whole process worked. As soon as I walked in though I was offered help by both of the people working there. 5 stars for service. I tried cookies n cream and birthday cake. Cookies n Cream won by a long shot. Toppings wise, I think next time I go in, I'll explore the toppings more but I was getting a headache from the constant high pitched squealing. I threw on some brownie bites and cookie dough and ran outta there. Delicious! All of it, especially the little cookie dough bites. I will definitely be a return customer Edit: Went for a second time in 2 nights, different workers, same great customer service. I love this place! read more

Self serve frozen yogurt is everywhere, and they are all pretty much ok. Sunday afternoon on a nice day and it was pretty packed. I keep going to froyo places thinking one will be better than the other, but they all fall into the same OK boat. When you don't have anything, you don't have anything to lose. Right? read more

The frozen yogurt was good!! The customer service was awesome! They sanitize everything! :)

I had the mango and raspberry with mochi. It tasted like kids toothpaste. The inside was packed, loud, neon-coloured and smelled of elderberries and wet rubber. I shant return to have my olfactory nerve taunted a second time. read more

16 Handles - mango, raspberry and vanilla with mochi, tasted like kids toothepaste. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

Danger! Danger! Red alert. Don't eat here. The frogurt is highly addictive. Once you walk in the doors of this never ending party, select the size cup ( 2 size options are extra -large and obscenely-extra large), you have the opportunity to pull the handle. After that its all down hill. You'll be back. You'll be addicted. Every few days you'll get the itch that only froyo can scratch. Compared to other places this is preferred. Great flavors and yummylicious toppings read more

I love this place and wish I could come here more, but with little to no dairy-free options I can't! One time there was a dairy free vanilla and it was the BEST and I've never found it again. My only option tonight was ONE very artificial tasting sorbet, it was not good at all. Hesitant to come back. Almond milk is a great dairy-free alternative and I know it would bring in more business ! read more

A different twist on Fro-yo, 16 handles gives you the opportunity to serve yourself. There are 16 self-serve machines and then a whole slew of self-serve toppings, looks like they copied pinkberry - but you serve yourself. The price is then based on the weight. Interesting idea, just not the best execution. Reasons why: 1. The flavors are displayed on LCD screens which constantly change above the dispensers. Why not just create signs? 2. The toppings are just sitting out, even though there is a glass case above - I feel like these could easily get exposed to germs. I'm not a germaphobe, but Im sure some people are. 3. In this location, lots of wasted space - could be filled with tables for eating, etc. Aside from these reason, the flavors were very tasty and the value for money is pretty good. I've already been twice! read more

This is my favorite frozen yogurt place. The flavors I love the best are graham cracker, peanut butter obsession, coconut, and salted caramel. I usually get some of each in a cup and top it off with tons of toppings like peanut butter cups, crushed Oreos, toasted almond, hot fudge and even fruity pebbles. The cool thing about it is when you check in on yelp, you get $1 off your order. It's a great place to have a customized frozen yogurt experience. Try it if you are in the area! read more

Great frozen yogurt. Many different options and a ton of toppings. A bit pricey but I think all frozen yogurt is a bit overpriced. Definitely gonna return as it gets warmer. Also in a great location where you can walk around while having your refreshing cup of froyo :) read more

This is easily the best frozen yogurt spot in the Fairfield area. There are 16 different flavors of frozen yogurt to choose from plus the large assortment of toppings and it is all self-serve so you can get as much as you want. I used to love going to 16 Handles in NYC and was happy when I found out that there was here in CT. It is a must go for all frozen yogurt lovers and a must try for those that love ice cream. Pros: A lot of flavors of frozen yogurt and large variety of toppings Cons: None read more

The service is good. They have so much more flavors compared to other frozen yogurt places. The place is cute overall

Great frozen yogurt. There was a lack of the option to mix two flavors, but that's probably for the best. Cotton candy and Chocolate don't go together well. Due to the pandemic, you can no longer serve yourself toppings, but other then that it's great. read more

Pretty solid place to get some tasty froyo in CT. The set up is pretty standard. Free samples all around. Love the pink and green decor. A nice variety of toppings as well. I enjoyed a cup of strawberry shortcake with kit Kay on top. Don't forget to check in for $1 off! read more

Love this place! I drive down on occasion from North Haven. It is the best self serve frozen yogurt place around. The selection is great, the flavors are great... Just be prepared to wait in a long line as tons of people go there. It's worth the wait and the prices aren't that horrible. read more

Sugar free cheesecake flavor was very good! I wish they had smaller containers. I barely covered the bottom of the container and was surprised that the cost was $5!! No toppings, nothing extra and probably a 1/2 cup of froyo. However it was good and did not taste sugar-free. The cashier wasn't friendly but wasn't rude, just cashed me out without saying anything besides the price and if I wanted a receipt. read more

for people who cannot have dairy... definitely don't come here. I was so excited to have a dairy free option (vanilla almond milk) that wasn't something completely horrible like blue raspberry or strawberry lemonade. A lot of people cannot have dairy so not having a simple non dairy option such as vanilla almond milk at all times baffles me. read more

Love this place! Make everything your own. So many varieties so good!. This is a must try!!
