I can't say no to a delicious ube latte (the best one I've ever had) I also ordered some sweet treats. I'm not a fan of salt over chocolate chip cookies but this was tolerable.

To me it was a 10/10. I also got the ube white chocolate brownie because I always get the ube cookie, and it was so good. It wasn't too sweet which is always a compliment, thick, moist and can definitely taste the ube. I think I prefer that to the cookie !

The staff were very friendly and easy to talk to, and I really appreciated how careful they were about peanut allergies when going over the menu. I ordered an Oreo cookie sandwich with Oreo ice cream in the middle and Oreo crumbles as a topping, and it was so good! The ice cream was super creamy, and the cookie was warm, heat-pressed, and delicious. This place completely exceeded my expectations.

I'm happy I visited. 3.5/5 stars. Nothing overwhelming…read more The food was good but not outstanding (we only got charcuterie though... wish I tried more). Keep in mind that the menu updates ever-so-often, but: The drinks we tried spanned from "ok" to "great." I highly recommend the "Lavender" libation, it was great! Bubbly, tasty. The "pear fect " drink was ok, not worth it imo. Too sweet/no decor to enhance it. One dimensional taste. Super juicy/sweet if you're into that, and felt super strong alcohol-wise honestly (that's a plus). There is a tiki bar underneath. That was fun. If you're looking for an "experience," this is underwhelming, but if you're purely interested in the flavors of food/drinks, I'd say give it a try.

The price was very affordable, and we can see why it's so popular with many of the college students.

I would definitely recommend Handel's over any store like Cold Stone or Marble Slab, and even a lot of the other local shops in town!

My son wanted ice cream and my daughter was insistent we get shaved ice and when I was looking for local spots Mannys Shaved Ice had the best reviews in the area and they carried both ice cream and raspados ( aka shaved ice). I was going back and forth between Mannys and just an ice cream spot and I'm so glad we picked here. Mannys Shaved Ice will become a frequent spot for my family. We went in figured out what we wanted and were given a number for our table. Service was friendly, there was a lot of seating available inside but they also give you the option to bring your treats out to you at your car. They speak both English and Spanish here and have so many Hispanic snacks I was in heaven- from elotes to dorilocos, fruta picada, churros, aqua Fresca and of course they had the raspados and ice cream and much much more. My daughter and her besties actually ended up going with some colorful ice cream and even added sprinkles, my son went with the cafe caramel shaved ice and when I saw they had Fresa as con crema I had to get it. The portions were huge and everything was delicious, tasted exactly how I've come to love these treats and price was worth every penny- it was truly a steal. Will be back soon.

While they originated in Philly, they are literally all over NYC and are dangerous when a sweet tooth hits on a late night. I was surprised when I walked into this Columbia, SC location to see how spacious it was and there was actually no one waiting. We waited a few for the young lady to finish what she was doing in the back and realize we were there. I picked an assortment for a 12pack, entered my number for points, tapped to pay and was on my way. Just A Note: If you haven't already, I recommend you get the app and start accumulating those sweet treat points.
