This counter is located inside the Enclave, which is an area with a lot of small businesses (and even an outdoor flea type market on Saturday). There seem to be a lot of great vendors here. It will definitely be a place we will have to return to. However, our mission today was Ben Scoops, based on other things we have read on Yelp. This place certainly did not disappoint. We tried a triple scoop and we had the chocolate caramel crackel, Ube, and Macapuno. All three of these flavors were delicious! In case you don't know, this shop serves Mitchell's Ice cream, which is a popular San Francisco Ice Cream shop and they are the only authorized place to serve it in Southern California. I absolutely love the flavors and combinations available, as a lot of them are very unique. The staff was very friendly as well. I would definitely return to Ben Scoops again.

We shared a scoop of Macapuno (tender and meaty coconut), Ube (creamy and a bit more dense), and Chocolate Caramel Crackle (rich, sweet and crunchy). The counter service was quick and there was plenty of seating in the food hall and outside in the courtyard. The food hall area can get noisy with minimal sound absorbing surfaces, so I'd recommend outdoor seating for a bit more privacy. Loved the ice cream - hopefully they can expand into the SGV...would love to see them at the Santa Anita Mall.

What could make Handel's better??? Expand locations for convenience. Of course the usual x-factors of easy parking, no-wait short lines quick to serve, indoor ice cream parlor seating and the less-than-justified "lower prices, bigger portions" argument everyone has with every food vendor that exists...

This location is closer so I guess if I want it I'll just have to endure.

What was confusing and frustrating was that the customer right before us got one, and then the customer after us was also able to get one. Another gentleman working there even confirmed that they still had it available. When I questioned it, instead of simply explaining the situation, the employee helping us seemed unwilling to make it and gave us attitude. I also asked to sample a couple of other flavors since the item we originally wanted was supposedly unavailable, and her attitude made the whole interaction even more uncomfortable. I completely understand that places run out of items and employees can have difficult days, but this didn't seem to be an availability issue when other customers were being served the exact same thing. It felt like we were simply being refused service for something that was clearly available. We came in expecting a quick, enjoyable ice cream stop, and unfortunately left feeling singled out and disappointed. I hope management looks into what happened and makes sure customers are treated consistently and respectfully.

Hubby went with the watermelon gelato, while I stayed loyal to my usual favorites: vanilla and chocolate. The watermelon gelato was wonderfully fresh and refreshing, with a natural sweetness that didn't overpower its smooth, creamy finish. It was the perfect choice after a hearty Italian dinner! As for my vanilla and chocolate, what can I say? Both flavors were rich, velvety, and wonderfully creamy without being overly sweet. You could really appreciate the flavors without that sugary aftertaste. Every spoonful was pure happiness! Another delicious visit to one of our favorite spots, and the perfect sweet ending to a lovely night out with hubby. Sometimes, it's the simplest pleasures that make an evening extra special!

Service - 5 stars. Sampling without judgement. Thanks!…read more Vibe - love supporting local creameries. They are the best and this one is no exception Flavors - I love the variety and nothing said "balsamic vinegar" or "spiced goat cheese." Don't get me wrong. LBC has very unique flavors. After 4 samples and fun conversation with the staff, I ultimately settled on a trio of: - Banana King Cone. It has soy, gluten, and nuts. But this might be the best banana ice cream I've had because it doesn't taste artificially banana-ey. Organic banana ice cream loaded with chocolate coated sugar cone pieces and roasted peanuts. - Biscuits and Jam. Stone fruit jam swirled into vanilla ice cream with toasted biscuit chunks. - Saltine Dream. Organic vanilla ice cream loaded with caramelized saltine crackers dipped in chocolate and a rich fudge swirl. The banana ice cream was the best I've had, but my favorite in the flavor trip was the saltine Dream. Excellent flavor with excellent texture. Winner of the night. Recommend this place! They have their own parking lot. Limited outside seating. Super friendly staff. So glad my flight was delayed so I could explore.

Wow! This easily became one of my favorite ice cream shops simply for the simplicity aspect of…read moretheir flavors and how they execute it. I got a scoop Mr. Universal which is essentially a salted caramel ice cream and a scoop of matcha. I could easily tell why their best seller was Mr. Universal. The salted caramel was nice and crunchy, and their cream base wasn't too sweet, serving as the perfect compliment to the salty, sweet caramel. The matcha was very suprising, not sweet at all and the flavor of matcha itself was much more prominent than any other ice cream place I've tried. Overall the ice cream is easily 5/5 stars. Their service is lightning quick and was very friendly towards everyone. There is ample seating inside to enjoy ice cream along with free complimentary water. As I've said before, the ambiance is very simple, which is apart of their whole charm, as they have put their all into the ice cream's flavor first. They have a rotating menu of their last menu items (items 6-8) so there is a new flavors constantly if you get tired of their staples.

The place has this classic ice cream shop feel with pastel aesthetics mixed into a modern clean vibe which mixes practicality with style. I LOVE the glass panel decoration and the front decor which are simple details yet convenient decoration. The options have an interesting range in diversity, from ice cream and drinks. Their combinations are so unique, blending trendy flavors like matcha, honey, and many more delicious flavors. My favorite flavor I have tried so far, was the Dalgona Affogato--which I picked because I was thinking of the squid games. The dessert was so smooth but the honey was slightly overbearing. If that is not to your preference, they have other options that can certainly fit to your taste buds. The ice cream is perfectly sweet and an excellent treat in this summer weather. The honey crisps placed on top of the ice were so little, which I wished they had a bit more since it tasted so good with the smooth ice cream. Another thing I hoped was for the affogato to be a bit bigger portion. But then again, I am unsure about the sizings of affogato since this is my first time trying it. Thank you Honeymee Gardena for the experiance, hoping to try more in the future.
