My sis is a great chocolate fiend so we had to stop by to get some snacks. Chicklets, Mambas, and a whole lot of nostalgia. My mom made sure we got a lot of items to bring back.

I got some white chocolate dipped pretzel sticks and dark and milk chocolate sea salt caramel truffles. SO GOOD!

(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.

I had not been in fifteen years but was visiting town and wanted to revisit my childhood. This was…read moreon a relatively cool day in April so no crowd. 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. This is unfathomable to me in 2026, particularly with the size of a small cone for $2.60. It just feels like a throwback. 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. As I did back when I was in high school 25 years ago.

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!

Staff is really friendly and helpful, service was quick, they have a nice bunch of tables and a small amount of shade to sit in, which was great on the somewhat rainy day we visited. We both got cyclones, one chocolate and one vanilla base. The vanilla had better flavor. The mix-ins aren't fully mixed in. The bottom half of the cup is just ice cream, then a layer mixed in, then more plain ice cream.

We both got a combo, I got 2 dogs and fries & soda. My friend got a chicken tender basket with fries and a soda too. Fries were exceptional, fried crispy outside and soft and fluffy inside. Next time though, we'll know to only get one order of fries and just share them. For me, the dogs themselves are delicious as well. Their "conney sauce" was your basic homemade chili of a drier version. I think it was listed to be topped with cheese but I'm not a fan of cheese on chili dogs. What I really like... I mean, REALLY LIKE is a dog with extra mustard, preferably a good spicy mustard and onions and chili and a great slaw. But I lived in places where a good dog, could make a place known. We will definitely go back and not just food but their delicious ice creams and this summer we will try their shaved ice too.

I also got the double dark chocolate, which was decent but a little more lackluster than I expected. They have a huge variety of flavors though and it definitely feels like the kind of place you need to come back to multiple times to really explore the menu. Every time I walk by there's basically a line around the block, so clearly people love it. Thankfully when I actually went, the service moved pretty quickly. Definitely somewhere I'd come back to try more flavors.
