Handel's is a walk-up ice cream shop with plenty of delicious flavors to choose from. My go-to flavors are Coffee Chocolate Chip and Ooohh... Dough! It can get busy on Friday evenings and weekends, but the line moves quickly thanks to the incredible service. The staff is always kind, friendly, and very generous with the scoops. There is a small outdoor seating area where you can enjoy your treat, or you can order it to go. If you are looking for a spot to satisfy your sweet tooth, head over to Handel's! read more

Handmade ice cream. Really good, a lot of flavors and options for cones and cups. I will suggest for your first time just order a small weather you get a cone or bowl. It's like 2 1/2 scoops. I got the waffle bowl with chocolate rum. Coffee ice cream and it has chocolate chips in it. Really good. Another person in our group got banana cream pie and it was excellent also. Plenty of parking and service was nice, friendly and fast. Will return for sure read more

The ice cream is very good and comparable in price to other establishments. My favorite flavor is Pistachio. It is so light and tasty and the almonds are so soft. I prefer Handels so much more than other local ice cream establishment in Spring! read more

I wish there was a location closer to me bc I love Handel's!! I first discovered Handel's in socal and it quickly became a tradition to get a sampler with my cousins. We always get the sampler to share, but my absolute favorite is graham cracker station. I love it so much that we get two scoops of it in our sampler...it's totally worth it. I wish there was indoor seating, but service is friendly and the line moves quickly. read more

Whenever we're in the area we like to grab a small treat from here. My partner sticks with the dark chocolate with chocolate chunks ice cream. It's very creamy and not bitter! For me I like changing flavors and this time around I opted for pistachio. Honestly, it was fantastic because it was light and the right amount of pistachio flavor to where I could keep enjoying it without being sick of it. There's pistachio nuts in it too! My favorite hands down is still Monkey business. The location has plenty of parking and it's easy to access. Service has always been timely and everyone is friendly here. Price is about average for dessert ice cream shops. The only reason why I placed it as a 4 star is sometimes the ice cream comes out already partially melted; which makes it much harder to avoid a huge mess when it's already hot out! read more

Handel's Homemade Ice Cream - Pistachio and dark chocolate - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Spring, Texas

This ice cream shop in Garden Oaks is pretty unique in that they offer drive through service and a walk up window. There are picnic type tables out front but you can't physically walk inside the shop. They have many flavors to choose from that aren't normally offered by other chain ice cream shops. You can only get 1 flavor with a small so I opted for a medium to try 2 different flavors. The praline pecan had a good amount of pecan pieces and was oozing with caramel flavor. The mocha almond fudge ripple was a perfect combination of a light coffee flavor mixed with chocolate. The vanilla with Oreo was your typical cookies and cream flavor but had plenty of big cookie chunks. Overall I'm happy to have a drive thru option because it's super convenient when you don't want to get fully dressed to go inside a shop, however it would be nice to have an indoor seating area because ice cream does not stay frozen at all in Houston heat. My cone started melting very quickly and running down my arm and all over the floor so I had to toss or before I could finish to prevent making a bigger mess. I would for sure visit again but maybe only in the drive thru, until summer is over. read more

I got the Cappuccino Chocolate Chip. The small portions are still pretty big there so no need for a bigger size unless there is multiple people. I love coffee ice cream and they satisfied my craving for sure! It was a hot summer night so people were in line but the line was moving and it is only walk up so there is not inside. read more

Handel's Homemade Ice Cream - Cappuccino Chocolate Chip - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Spring, Texas

This ice cream is so good! I wish we lived close to this place. I had the coffee ice cream with the chocolate chunks in a chocolate dipped cone. My husband had the salted caramel ice cream in a regular waffle cone. I hope we get to come back soon. read more

The service was fine. Many choices. Order at a walk up window, there were an abundance of employees as if they anticipated a rush of customers on a Monday. I got a Reeces hurricane, similar to a blizzard but I am not a fan, super melted and I hate melty ice cream. My husband got scooped raspberry in a cup and he gave it a 4 out of 5. Perhaps I will come back and try a cone but I saw another person with a cone and saw it was soft looking and quickly melting so it's not your typical hand scooped ice cream that has a thick frozen consistency to it. read more

They charge extra for a single cherry (25 cents) and sprinkles (40 cents) on each cone. If we want to be nickel and dimed, we would get our ice cream from the government. They lost a customer for life over a total of $1.30 in 2 cherries and sprinkles! read more

This was my first time trying Handel's. I observed a really good selection of ice cream flavors and mix-ins. I enjoyed the Cookie Dough Hurricane, which had both chocolate chips, and of course, cookie dough. There was not enough cookie dough however, and too many chocolate chips, but otherwise good. Would also be nice if they had a drive through. Also not clear that they have trained the employees to have a positive demeanor or upbeat presentation when it comes to customer service. However, overall, I enjoyed it. read more

Wow so many flavors of ice cream and generous portions! We stumbled upon this ice cream shop trying to kill some time and it happened to be a place my talks about in Dallas all the time. You walk up to a window to order and they have various cones or you can get ice cream in a cup. We ordered the strawberry ice cream and mango sorbet. Both were huge and really good. We would order them again. Only draw back is it is outdoors, so when it is hot outside it will be awful in the Houston heat. Also, view is of a busy street which isn't so great. The ice cream is good though, so would go again the next time we are on this side of town. read more

Handel's Homemade Ice Cream - Strawberry ice cream in a sugar cone - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Spring, Texas

First off, it was hard to find this place at night, since the building sign lights were not working. I thought it was closed, I walked to the window and I didn't see anyone inside, I had to walk away and come back before someone was inside. (Outside only Handel's). The kids working there were polite, I ordered Graham central station and blueberry cobbler by the pint, I also got a butterfinger hurricane. It took them a while to get the order going, maybe new people? It would be nice if they illuminated the sign. Would make the place a lot easier to find. But the flavors are always amazing! Will always go to this company, just this place was a bit slow. read more

BEST Ice cream in the area hands down! Better prices than similar Ice Cream offerings locally. Extensive list of flavors, something for everyone! I'm so glad Handel's is so close to us because everything is DELICIOUS. Delicious and not overdone. Some places with a large variety of flavors add too much to them. These guys keep it simple so the combinations work. There's many ways to enjoy your favorite flavors. Order by pint, dish, cone (waffle, cake, sugar), Hurricane (like a Blizzard), or have a super thick shake. The sampler is a great value if you can't decide. It's also a great option to order and bring home to have some for later if you're ordering for one. They've even got Dogsters for your favorite furry companion. Our favorite flavors: Chocolate Cake Batter- 100% reminiscent of licking the beaters while baking with Memaw. Strawberry Cheesecake Chunk- Filled with CHUNKS of actual cheesecake, graham cracker crust and all. So decadent. Blue Monster- Blue Vanilla Ice Cream with Oreo and Chocolate Chip Cookies mixed in in perfect balance. My little boy loves it and I love to steal a bite lol. Pistachio- I ADORE THIS. it's not overly sweet like some brands and it's got the perfect amount of almonds. French Silk Pie- The title explains it perfectly. Tastes just like a slice of pie. Deliciously chocolate and perfectly rich. As far as ambience, this is a walk up and order, not an indoor restaurant. There are tables outside for when the weather's right. If it's cold or rainy just do what we do, grab extra napkins and enjoy it the car with some good tunes. Service-we've been there when it's packed and when it's quiet. They were welcoming, helpful and kind every single time. Before our first visit I called them to get some information and the guy on the phone took the time to answer my questions and offer up lots of info. Hit up this delightful spot anytime you've got an ice cream craving!! You'll be sure to love them as much as we do. Open til 10pm. ENJOY!!! read more

This was our first time at Handel's. We had to try it. I mean, who doesn't like ice cream?! Pros: There was a good selection of ice cream flavors, milkshakes, floats, and malts. We came at a good time because there was no line. The Cookie Dough Hurricane was good. I liked the chunks of cookie dough and chocolate chips. Cons: The decor and outdoor seating was slight. There were only 2-3 outside tables. Also, I noticed there wasn't a drive thru option at this location. I definitely prefer Brusters Ice Cream when it comes to presentation, ambiance, and convenience. read more

Ice cream selection is great and the service is friendly. Awesome handmade ice cream

I LOVE Handel's! And so do my dogs. I love that it's just a walk up type of ice cream shop with tables outside if you want to stay and eat. They have so many ice cream flavors to choose from, as well as different types of cold treats. I have only ever gotten ice cream scoops, so I can't speak to anything else they serve. Ever since my parents recommended their sampler to m,e that is all I've ever gotten. It is such a good bang for your buck! It's $6 pre-tax and you get 4 flavors of whatever ice cream you'd like. I always mix and match, but here are some of my favorite flavors: 1. Cheesecake with oreo 2. Chocolate Oree-dough 3. Monkey business 4. Mud pie 5. Salty caramel truffle 6. Strawberry cheesecake chunk They also have vegan options. My dogs like coming here as well because they also serve doggy cups. I've taken them here on numerous occasions and sat outside while we ate our ice cream. I highly recommend Handel's! read more

We love Handel's. Without doubt it is the best ice cream in the Spring/Woodlands area. There's a lot they do right to make their ice cream so yummy. First off.. the fat content is probably off the chart. It is super creamy. They also serve it at the perfect temperature. Whether you order it in the dead of summer, or on a chilly day in January, it's always ready to melt off the cone. Our favorite order is "Monkey Business" on top with "Chocolate Peanut Butter Brownie" on bottom. The Monkey business has banana, caramel, and is just ridiculously good. The chocolate speaks for itself. Mix the two and you have heaven in a cone. I love to change things up and have ordered almost everything on their menu. I have never been disappointed. My only complain is the place in Spring doesn't have any indoor seating. The outside is not always clean and it can make it hard to hang out and enjoy the ice cream with friends and family. But this is ice cream. If they sold this stuff in half gallons like Blue Bell I'd fill a freezer with it. read more

Just try the blue monster. It's so good. It may change your life. Maybe not really, but you can thank me later. That is all. read more

Ice cream was delicious! Lots of flavors to choose from, staff was helpful, efficient, and friendly. It's very out of the way for us, but we will probably find a reason to stop by again. read more

When they say they are generous.. they mean generous! Staff was friendly and patiently waited for us to sample everything. They have a ton of flavors. I recommend the cherry magnolia if you like cherry chunks! I also recommend sharing or getting a bowl because the servings are huge and the icecream melts quickly (especially in the texas heat!). There is no indoor seating, but plenty of parking and standing areas. read more

The ice cream is AMAZING - one of the best poached around this area to get ice cream. The staff has always been extremely friendly. That being said, every time I have stopped there it's a 20 minute stop, even when I'm the only customer. I wish signs were up saying what items are not available, because it took a long time for the server to come back to say something wasn't available. I'll still keep coming bc the ice cream and non dairy options are worth it. But I wish in 100 degree temps service was a bit speedier. read more

Horrible experience. At first I was really excited to try a local ice cream shop. I ordered different flavors and was very disappointed with our order. We ordered 3 banana splits. 1 looked great, but the other 2 were disappointing. They were smaller and barely had any toppings. When I asked the girl at the counter if I can get the drizzled I had payed for she said it was there. I told her I didn't see it and the other girl came with an attitude. She added more then sarcastically told me to have a good night and closed the window before I could finish my sentence. Her name was Jen and I told her that there was no need to be rude to me for asking for a topping I paid for. The quart we ordered to go wasn't even completely filled. It was not worth the wait. Specially in this heat. read more

This is a walk-up ice cream place similar to what you find in the mid west. It's pretty popular in the evening after dinner time. They carry all the usual favorites like banana splits, sundaes, hurricanes, cones, floats, popsicles (homemade), and a few other misc items. I dont even remember what I ordered, I think it was a chocolate brownie concrete, which obviously wasn't that memorable. This place isn't exactly Ted Drewe's, but if you're in a pinch. I guess it would do. I just wouldn't drive out of my way to come here. read more

Stopped by Handel's after a movie. The line moved fairly quickly and my husband ordered a Snickers Hurricane and I had a Caramel Latte milkshake. Both were super tasty and reasonably priced in my opinion. It's a chill atmosphere with a pretty view of the fountain. We'll definitely be going back! read more

I wanna say the ice cream is good since its always packed. However ive never had it. I live by here and I always pick up doordash runs. However this was my third time picking up and i waited 20 mins till i finally spoke with someone. I saw they were busy so i wasnt trynna give a hard time, but two people that got there after me got their order before me and when i finally spoke to someone, she said my order wasnt even started. Only person that helped me was the girl with long braids. The other two guys were literally next to the window that is for doordash pick up and totally ignored the doordash line. Like i said, its not the first time I have a problem picking up a doordash run here. read more

Good homemade ice cream in interesting flavors. Their small size is huge, with 3 full scoops. It's too much for one person but they won't mix 2 flavors in a small. That's just them being greedy and trying to upsell a medium, so minus one star for that lack of basic service. Also, the display versions of their dipped cones have 3x as much chocolate as what they actually give out. read more

Looking for an after dinner dessert spot or a place to bring the kids this summer to cool down from the Texas heat...Handel's is the place. Located in front of Kroger's, Handel's is a walk-up ice cream eatery with 40+ flavors to choose from. The menu can be terrifying at first, but they do offer samples...don't be shy, ask for that sample. Decided to be adventurous, we ended up getting the Sampler which consists of 4 flavors of your choice in a plastic container. We chose Monkey Business (my new favorite), Strawberry Cheesecake Chunk (least favorite), Cake Batter, and Butter Pecan (nothing to write home about). They weren't monkeying around when they made Monkey Business - banana cake batter ice cream with brownie pieces and caramel. Definitely worth a second trip alone just for that flavor. Friendly staff with great customer service and reasonable prices, if you're in the area, definitely worth checking out. read more

I finally got to try their ice cream, and oh man how did I NOT hear about this place sooner? Even on a Tuesday summer evening there was a good amount of people but not surprised since summer has started and hello, Texas heat! It's a walk up ice cream shop with 2 separate windows to order from, they have cute outdoor seating just around the corner with a huge tree wrapped in white lights! There are a few picnic type tables on the other side as well. When you first walk up you're hit with a pretty overwhelming menu, but hey that means there is something for everyone, right?You can choose to have your ice cream in a cup or diff types of cones, either plain or with toppings. 2 people ahead of me still couldn't decide what to choose so I was able to walk right up and I chose the strawberry cheesecake crunch! I loved it, not too sweet and the perfect amount of cheesecake chunks throughout to add that extra cake texture among the creamy ice cream! I can't wait to comeback and try other flavors! If you're looking for delicious, creamy, homemade ice cream, Handel's is for you!! Treat yo self!! read more

4.60 for a LITTLE cup of ice cream!!! This prices are crazy!! They charge EXTRA MONEY for a waffle cone!! I do not want the kiddie sugar cone or the cake cone, I want the big adult cone and just because one is a waffle does not make it worth MORE!! I ordered a strawberry cheesecake cup ice cream and it didn't have REAL strawberry cheesecake bits, it was just regular chunks of chopped up cheesecake, why y'all got to break it up when I could just eat the cheesecake?!! As if that wasn't bad enough, I had a cup of blue monster too, and guess what happened after I got it? IT MELTED!!!! I DO NOT WANT WATER ICE CREAM, I WANT MY BALL OF CREAM ON TOP WITH A SPOON TO EAT!!! I have come here before and my ice cream always melts!!! THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!! DO NOT MELT MY ICE CREAM!! tldr- ice cream melted not recommended. read more

Nice spot to take the family for a icecream. A line full of families waiting to get icecream!

Very very disappointed w/ my visit this evening. I come to Handel's a couple times a week, from the woodlands. Tonight was like any other one. Except when I got my Hot Fudge sundae, sat down took a bite something was off. I opened my side of Hot Fudge and it was nothing more then Hershey's syrup heated up. I wasn't told they were out of Hot Fudge or replacing it w syrup. Which I assume is what the "Hot Fudge" sundae was topped w as well. To pay $7.58 for a Hershey's sundae, was NOT what I asked for or wanted. Could have made that at home. I even walked back to the window to ask and was told they had no fudge heated up. And it was 930. They don't close till 10. Sad night for me as I ended up throwing the whole sundae away .....!!! read more
