We walked in and no one welcomed us. They had 3 employees behind the topping bar. The topping bar was disgusting. One of the girls had a wet rag and was just standing there instead of cleaning it. The machines had overflowing dripping pans and handles were sticky. Papers on the floor. The bathroom I can't even start describing it. Just a mess. I went and asked them if they could clean. If this was my business I would've been really upset that 3 people are there not doing much. Business owner deserve to have employees that work and do their jobs instead of just showing up and collecting a paycheck. I'm leaving this review because if I owned this place I would want to know. read more

Was very disappointed with recent experience with 16 Handles. For starters, I haven't been to a 16 Handles in about 10 years. This location wasn't clean, with food scattered everywhere on tables and at the build your own station. I was also shocked when I saw the hefty price of $9 for my cup. Will not return again. read more

I haven't had frozen yogurt in so long, and this hit the spot. The place was clean, neat, and had a large selection to choose from. I felt that the prices were fair for the type of service, and I'd happily return. read more

Mariam was a great worker and she helped me pick out the flavor that ment most to me. I will 100% be coming back soon.

I always have a good experience, but today there were a ton of fruit flies all around the froyo and all the fixings were all gross, all combined and melted . They need better workers here that actually care instead of sitting in the back. Maybe some that help clean, since they are nowhere to be found? This place went downhill, fast. read more

The owners are absolutely great, they care about their customers and want you to have a good experience. Very clean and inviting, you must give it at try but prepare to be hooked. read more

The manager at 16 Handles Stamford? MIA like they're on a permanent vacation. Meanwhile, the staff acts like you just ruined their whole day, It's like customer service got lost on the way and brought attitude instead. And don't even get me started on the toppings bar sticky, crusty, and nasty like someone lost a war with hygiene. If you want froyo and a side of attitude plus toppings that should be in a crime scene photo, this is your spot. Otherwise, run. read more

16 Handles in Stamford? More like 16 excuses to never come back. Half the machines were broken, the froyo that did come out was warm and flavorless, and the "cookie dough" tasted like cardboard. The toppings bar looked like it survived a food fight -- sticky, crusty, and chaotic. Gummy bears were fossilized, fruit was sketchy, and everything else was either stale or wet (??). Charged $16 for a cup I made myself, and I left with nothing but regret and a stomachache. Absolute waste. read more

Don't understand the bad reviews here. The staff was friendly and the vegan soft serve was delicious. Not to mention you can't find that anywhere else. I'll be back! read more

This was the worst customer service I've ever encountered. We walked in, nobody greeted us. The ambiance was tense and customers looked visibly upset. Half of the machines were not working and all the counters were disgusting. We got to the register and the cashier was on the phone and explicitly said "If one more rich entitled person walks in here, I am going to lose my shit". She aggressively tapped on the metal balance where we would put our cups without saying a word to us and continues to speak on the phone. We pay for our froyo without adding a tip, obviously but loudly say thank you and she rolled her eyes at us as we walked away. Definitely not coming back here, awful. read more

I was looking for a good vegan dessert and saw this place. They had multiple vegan options clearly labeled, and the flavors were pretty good. They have also a lot of topping options that are clearly labeled as gluten free/dairy free, which I appreciated. The only I would change would be having a covering on the toppings so they are not open to the air all day long. The service was good. I would recommend this place. read more

Good fro-yo! They have a ton of different flavors including vegan options that all sounded great! (I got the NY cheesecake and the Nutella.) Tons of toppings. Pretty small and cozy atmosphere. Employees were nice. Definitely recommend! read more

Pricey but good. Everything is sold by weight so you don't know how much you're in for til you get to the register. My wife and I had a serving each that added up to around $19. They encourage tipping even tho you're doing all the work. For my money, I'd prefer Sweet Ashley's in Norwalk. read more

I've been frequenting this location for about 2 years. I used to come in several times a week after dinner and have always loved it. They used to have great workers and great frozen yogurt. The last two times I've been there, I noticed that something wasn't the same. There definitely has been a change in their product. I always get the original tart and it does not taste the same and has been leaving me feeling queasy. The yogurt is more watery and isn't that good. Unfortunately I won't be coming back to this location and have to find a new frozen yogurt place. read more

Has great ice cream flavors. The service is good, but the workers are kind of rude. It's a nice place but kind of dusty.

this place is unbelievable in the lack of service and honesty. They claimed my money was fake and continued to put that money into the tip jar without asking. read more

Very pricey! Staff was cheerful, friendly & helpful. I'm dairy & gluten free. I thought my options would only be sorbet. To my surprise, 16 Handles had a flavor by Oatly which is a brand I can eat. Yay! read more

16 Handles - Yummy - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

The frozen yogurt that we bought barely held its shape and didn't look anything like the pictures on the "16 Handles" company website. Although this is supposed to be "soft serve" frozen yogurt, it almost had the consistency of a firm milkshake instead. It's a good thing that we didn't put the frozen yogurt in a cone instead of a cup. What an awful mess that would have made. I ate a little more than half of what I had and threw out the rest. I prefer grocery store bought frozen yogurt over this stuff. It's much better and costs a small fraction of the price. read more

We stopped by this place after visiting a few of the local Goodwill stores. This place is nestled in the busy restaurant blocks and we quite enjoyed our yogurts. My wife got the mango flavor yogurt while I got the coffee flavor. We were able to get our own yogurt selections while the staffs helped with the toppings. All in all, we enjoyed our dessert and give this place 3 solid stars for today. read more

The treat is pretty good, but the cost is absurd. To add insult to injury, they then automatically add a big tip (which you can remove), despite making the customer do all the work. Altogether, I would never go back. read more

They charged $38 (with a $5 discount) for 2 9-oz tubs of frozen yogurt with 4 toppings, then they blamed it on DoorDash ($7 in total fees). From my daughter, a 12 year old. Just look at the receipt if you don't believe me. Stay away from this place, bring your business somewhere else. EDIT: funny answer from the owner: DoorDash charged $7 and I should bring it up to them??? What about the $30 for 18oz of frozen yogurt YOU charged???? Again, my recommendation is: BRING YOUR BUSINESS SOMEWHERE ELSE. read more

There is a great selection of frozen yogurt flavors here with a large selection of toppings to choose from. It's hard to compete with the Dairy Queen around the corner though, but if you are looking for a healthier alternative, this is the place. This is especially true with my new favorite item on the menu ---the ACAI BOWLS--- there are a little on the pricier side at almost $10, but the portion is pretty good. The flavors are also really good. I got the tropical acai bowl which comes with dark chocolate, kiwi, strawberries, and coconut flakes. It was a great combination of flavors. My friend/foodie companion got the OG acai bowl, which included granola and blueberries, which was great. It is located right on bedford street next to the park - perfect for those summer days that are soon to come! I would definitely come back and the acai bowls are a great addition to the menu! read more

This was my first time at 16 Handles and certainly won't be my last! I've been to Pinkberry a thousand times but prefer this because of the variety. I am a huge fan of the pay per weight model for frozen yogurt as I love toppings and mixing flavors. This location had great options for yogurt both sweet, chocolatey and fruit and toppings galore. Also love the different size cups for every stomach. Pricing is super reasonable for a pay per weight place. My only criticism is that some of the flavors did not seem cold enough as they melted into each other before I reached the register. read more

I love 16 Handles! They always have a great assortment of froyo flavors including sugar free types. Their toppings bar is drool-worthy with the countless items they offer. Expect to pay a pretty penny at 16 Handles but it's a great treat! My tip? Do layers of froyo and toppings so you get an even layer of both, several times. read more

Me and my friends went in with high hopes but we were sadly disappointed by half the machines not working a dirty atmosphere and when i go to check out my small cup it says it's $20 unbelievable and on top of the ridiculous cost i ended up having horrible stomach problems after eating it that i blow up my hotels lobby bathroom and the worst part there was no toilet paper and the toilet clogged just horrible what kind of frozen yogurt place does this to you???do not recommend ever coming horrible first experience! read more

I was really excited about going to this place because my friend wouldn't shut up about it. But I didn't have a good experience. The girl at the counter was very rude and it definitely brought down the yummy froyo experience by several notches. I took matcha, Oreo cookies and cream and Nutella flavors and they were all amazing. Not a big fan of the Cheesecake flavor tho. We were sitting and eating when I checked in through Yelp and got a wristband offer pop up. Reluctantly I went back to the counter, and the girl was again rude and just go take it, I didn't even where they were. It's just my bad experience, and I can find other great froyo stores nearby, no sweat. read more

16 Handles has some pretty hyped-up Yelp reviews, so I was excited to try them. What I didn't realize is that they're your standard DIY, weighed-by-the-ounce soft-serve joint. So, like Menchie's, but East coast. The most "exciting" flavor they had was Cinnamon Toast Crunch. As far as toppings, they DID have Nutella and liquid chocolate crunch, in addition to the fruit, candies, and syrups. I got Nutella and standard Chocolate, and added both regular and carob chocolate chips. The place was clean and overall my experience was fine. It's not really unique, though, so I don't think I'd come back. read more

When you walk in it's hi which I loved and I've been to frozen yogurt and I was craving it so I got it and the last frozen yogurt I got was from New York but this is in Connecticut so I was happy and all these assignments so some things are different and somethings are good to me so I will recommend you to go there if you like that read more

This is a chill hangout spot. I went here on a Friday evening with friends, and was expecting it to be crowded. Turns out there was a good amount of space. It did get crowded here and there, but I didn't mind it too much. It's your typical frozen yogurt place: lots of flavors, lots of toppings. The yogurt is pretty high quality in my opinion. This time, I decided to go for a chocolatey twist. I got vegan cookies and cashew milk (runner up favorite), sea salt caramel (this was the winner), cookies and cream, and peanut butter yogurt; toppings were mochi bits (my favorite!), fresh strawberries, a bit of cookie dough by NYC Dō, graham cracker crumbs, Oreos, and cookie dough bits. Great combo! It was a bit pricey coming up to $8.30 in a small container, so for sure it's a once in a while treat. It's a nice location too since there are bars and restaurants all around. I would say the downside was parking on a Friday night was horribly hard to find. Other than that, I recommend! read more

16 Handles - Frozen yogurt with toppings - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Stamford, Connecticut

16 handles is one of few places in CT who offers vegan option for ice cream! The place was huge so you felt comfortable picking your flavors around others. I order a mango + coconut sorbet, I definitely felt it was a bit over charge for the amount of Sorbet given which was kind of a bummer as the flavors were super good and it tastes real! For all my vegan lover would recommend this places just mentally prepare that it isn't a regular dessert shop! read more

Only 1 of us had masks and they wouldn't let us in. 2 people were sitting there with no masks on IN THE STORE. He didn't offer curbside and they didn't have any masks available for patrons. Really really dumb staff. I also called to ask for curbside and he rudely hung up on us. read more

I really like this location. Plenty of seating. Plenty of frozen yogurt options. Very clean and someone is always watching over the toppings. I appreciate how they label everything that is vegan. There's at least 2 vegan frozen yogurt options (but more like sorbet). And there are so many choices for toppings. Can't get enough! read more

Tasty and pricey. I'd rate it higher but I think they are over pricing it because of location. Not a fan of the by weight. I can never get out of there under $10. With that said it does taste good. The price is the price. Parking is tight but just have to luck up and find one. read more
