(No indoor seating, you order outside and sit outside or in your car.) The ambiance is kind of meh. It doesn't have that exciting feel of going to an old-fashioned ice cream shop that I get at Mr. Freeze, nor the creative sundae options. So even though the actual ice cream quality is better here, I'm rating this place a 4 and Mr. Freeze a 5. If I could only have one of them in Toledo it would be Mr. Freeze for sure. But if I had to pick one of them to supply all the ice cream I could eat for the next year, it would definitely be Handel's. When I'm driving past this intersection in the summer, I'll often stop if the urge hits.

How am I just hearing about this place? This place has such…read morea "regular" vibe to it. It's an order at the counter and pickup at the counter place and man they know what they're doing. We went for ice cream and fries and man oh man - does this place have just that! The ice cream selections were amazing and the fries were perfectly salty and crunchy. I saw they had a nice sized soup menu so had to try out the minestrone. We tried the death by chocolate, Cookie Monster and the Superman for ice cream and wow did they all pack an awesome flavor. What I really booted about it this place was that they had toys and drawing for all our littles to keep them entertained. They even had a little Christmas craft bag for us! It was very thoughtful and extremely nice to have for our littles. It's small things like this that really show me how much they value their customers. Amazing place. We will be back!

You know what's great about my mom? Everything. Like... Really--…read moreEVERYTHING. Why, just a glance over to the side, and I can glimpse the NES she bought me back when I was in grade school, oh, so many years ago. But, having the world's best mom comes with a tradeoff or two. Of note, how do you best show your appreciation on her birthday? Especially when you have only TWO HOURS to get something. Well, I've thrown the dice and bought her a cake. The idea to go out and buy one pre-made at Cold Stone Creamery came in a sudden flash. But it was a good one. I'll admit the pricetag for the cake was a bit more than I was expecting, but I'm already convinced it's worth it. The cake we bought was called 'the midnight delight'. It was the chocolate lover's ultimate cake. Chocolate frosting. Chocolate ice cream. Chocolate candy shells. And of course... chocolate cake filling. When I saw it for sale in Cold Stone Creamery's fridge, it took me all of 10 seconds to decide that this was the one. Better still? The staffers at Cold Stone tonight were AWESOME. The cake selection was actually guided by Zoe, while Lily took care of the cash register. Then, under the guidance of the manager, Brenda, the three of them set out to add that extra je ne sais quoi to make the cake absolutely fabulous. They used a very charming variant of pink for the, 'Happy Birthday Mom!!' lettering, lightly accented the cake with pink sparkles, and rounded it off with strategically placed pink candles encircling the cake's perimeter. Me and the family are planning on unveiling mom's cake and presents in two hours around midnight, but I'm very confident it's going to go well. And a large thanks goes out to Brenda, Lily, and Zoe and Cold Stone Creamery for helping us along the way!

Their ice cream is four stars. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing to blow you away. The Peanut Butter Delight, the Funky Monkey, and the Pecan Joy are excellent sundaes. The kids like the Blue Moon and Unicorn sundaes. Dole Whip is great if you have dietary restrictions. It hits the spot if you want soft serve. But the atmosphere and the staff are everything. This a part of the neighborhood. When we eat here, literally half the time we see neighbors or classmates. People walk up or drive over. They bring their dogs and everyone wants to pet them. The kids play games while they wait. The staff is mostly local students and they are patient, friendly, and good at their jobs. They listen while my kids take 45 seconds to explain their order. They always remember extra napkins. They'll throw a cone on top of the sundae. Penguin Palace understands the assignment.

The soft serve is fairly average but the experience is elevated by the pricing - I got a sundae, cone, and two bottles of water for $9.

Friendly teenagers working collecting tips for college, cash only (I'm sure bad for many but nostalgic for me), the hand drawn signs. I just really enjoyed it.

Maybe 4 stars for ice cream of this style (soft serve), and it doesn't really compare to ice cream like Jeni's or Handel's, it's a different category. The lines can be long, and they're cash only. But once you get to the front of the line, the service is always friendly. But the art is amazing. All the hand-drawn pictures to go with the sundaes and the creative sundae names and toppings/mix-ins. Some of the sundaes are the same ones they served 30 years ago, others are new. The portions are huge. If I recall correctly, for a large cone they take it all the way down to the bottom of the machine (although I've never ordered one myself!) The cake sundaes are quart size. I usually go with a small or junior sundae and it's plenty. It's my go-to stop on the way home from Centennial Quarry in the summer, and one of the places that I take friends from out of town to give them a taste of Toledo culture. I hope they keep going for many more decades!
