There's something magical about wandering the old Gold Rush streets of Nevada City. Me and the boy…read morewere strolling through the historic downtown, poking our heads into little shops, when we stumbled across Treat. Talk about perfect timing. The sun was out, we'd done our fair share of walking, and an ice cream cone sounded like just what the doctor ordered. I grabbed a fresh waffle cone loaded with some kind of almond fudge mocha masterpiece don't ask me the official name because I was too busy enjoying it! The boy got something different, and judging by how fast it disappeared, I'd say he approved too. The waffle cone was fresh, the ice cream was rich and creamy, and every bite hit the spot. It's one of those little places that fits Nevada City perfectly simple, welcoming, and exactly what you hope to find while exploring an old mining town. If you're strolling through downtown on a warm afternoon, do yourself a favor and stop at Treat. Cool off, grab a cone, sit on a bench, and watch the world go by. First class all the way. After all... they didn't name it Treat for nothing. Go ahead treat yourself.

Before I say anything else, there's one flavor you need to at least try: Saffron Rose Pistachio…read more It's decadent and savory and a journey for your tastebuds. Their menu is super varied and they have something for everyone. My vanilla honey milkshake was impeccable. Love it!

As I was driving to my mom's house we noticed this cute, new ice cream shop in town. We decided…read moreto check it out. It's an adorable ship that serves ice cream, frozen yogurt and a huge variety of candies (jelly belly candies, taffy, gummies, chocolates, etc). They also serve breakfast and lunch. We got the ice cream (and milkshakes)! I ordered the Espresso Explosion. It was DELIGHTFUL!!! And to go, we bought some Jelly Belly candies (by weight) and some gummy Dr. Pepper candies. Service was fast and friendly. Can't wait to go back!!!

They give generous scoops (priced at about $4 each). Their scoops are probably ranking almost double the normal scoop size. They have indoor and outdoor seating, although limited. With that being said, you shouldn't have an issue getting a seat because it seems that most guests have their ice cream takeout. The spot is very lowkey and casual. There's beautiful artwork and murals around the inside. You can tell it was a business created with love. Something to note is that they do not do milkshakes anymore. One of the staff members told me that they don't for see milkshakes ever making a comeback, which is a bummer. The customer service is great, and the staff is always willing to let you taste test their flavors. Definitely my favorite ice cream spot in the city so far!

It's located in a residential part of the town but it's easy to find a parking spot in that area. There's always a line be it evening or daytime on weekends but the lines move fast. The fruit freeze is the perfect dessert on a hot summer day. My favorite flavor is mango. The other 2 flavors I have tried are raspberry and guava and the raspberry tasted better. I have tried their vanilla and coconut ice creams and both are delicious. It's hard for me to pick one flavor out of them. Maybe on a summer day I would pick coconut over the vanilla. But it's easily one of the better vanilla out of there. My only complaint is that their restroom isn't clean enough even though they have a lock code on it and only restrict it to customers.

Stopped by Poppy Frozen Yogurt in Tahoe City and it was exactly what I was hoping for after a day…read morein Tahoe. I had a small Espresso Explosion and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup, and the combination was fantastic--the rich coffee flavor paired perfectly with the creamy chocolate peanut butter. The ice cream was smooth, flavorful, and not overly sweet. The shop was clean, the staff were friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. My only suggestion would be to offer small samples before ordering. There were several flavors that sounded great, and being able to try one or two would have made it easier to decide. That said, I was very happy with my choice and would definitely come back to try more flavors!

We drop by Handel's ice cream every once a while, but our last visit was for Father's day as I told…read moremy husband I would treat him to any ice cream he wanted, and he picked Handel's. When we arrived, the line was long. It was all the way to the street but we figured, whelp we have nothing going on, might as well join the party! To our surprise, the line moved fast, it did give us enough time to debate what we wanted. I opted for the Salty Caramel Truffle waffle scoop, while my husband opted for 4 favor sampler with Banana cream pie, Pistachio, Monkey Business and Sticky fingers. We liked all of them, but we definiely agree the ice ceam flavors are heavier here, likely taliored to a younger audience. As I get older, I find myself opting for simple flavors like Stracciatella instead of my old favorite of chocolate brownie. So while I enjoyed my Salty Caramel Truffle, the saltyness and the generous amount of caramel truffles were a bit too much for me. The portion was very generous and that didn't help the overwhelming flavor bomb. My husband mentioned that he enjoyed the banana cream pie and pistachio flavors more than the more complicated ones. Overall, we like Handel's and always appreciate the various options and the friendly service. Next time we plan to share a four scoop sample and opt for simple flavors.

The absolute best ice cream spot in town!!…read more Whenever I'm in Folsom I always go out of my way to drop by and see what new flavors are available, but a classic is always birthday cake. Handel's is a crowd pleaser with the whole family every time with the variety of flavors they have, vintage diner ambiance and amazingly friendly staff. I've had some delicious sundaes scooped by Ashley L, I'd highly recommend asking for her next time you're in! You won't leave the shop thinking "dang, they cheated me on my scoop!" but instead the exact opposite because I'm sure you'll be walking out with more than you can stomach. 15/10 spot, don't miss it!

Bathrooms were located on the side of the building. On the other side of the building, you'll see outdoor seating which is perfect if you plan on dining with your dog. Food orders come out fairly quick as well so come hungry and ready to eat. I've only tried their burgers, onion rings, fries, waffle fries, chicken tenders and shakes. I have yet to try the other options on their menu but tempted to try their fish and chips next time. I appreciate that they have a kids menu since my daughters usually don't have a huge appetite. If I wasn't lactose intolerant, I'd definitely stuff my face with a soft serve!
