Had an amazing experience last night everyone was super friendly and service was fast. Wish they had some more places to sit. Go and ask for solie she was super nice and informative and fixed a mistake with no hesitation. read more

Doesn't matter what the weather looks like, the 805 will always be ready for ice cream. So glad Handels decided to open in Oxnard. Everything is made in house. Even when the line is long, service is still very fast. Try the sampler, 4 scoops of 4 different flavors. Best deal for your buck. read more

Handel's Ice Cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Oxnard, California

I am always ALWAYS craving ice cream after dinner and Handel's does the job. I love their variety of fun flavors that still feel classic and homey. To be honest, I prefer their milkshakes over their actual ice cream scoops, but my husband and I wanted to sample a few different flavors. We got the sampler with Spouse Like a House, Strawberry, Graham Central Station, and Banana Cream Pie. Spouse Like a House: 7/10. I loveeeddd the crunchy bits which I believe are chocolate-covered pretzels. It's a solid option if you're looking for something with mix-ins that doesn't feel too overwhelming. Strawberry: 2/10. Unfortunately the strawberry tasted way too artificial; I could not eat it by itself. Had to combine it with other flavors for it to be tolerable :( Graham Central Station: 8/10. Tastes exactly as expected, graham crackers in ice cream form. A perfect "pie crust" flavor to combine with other flavors heheh :) Banana Cream Pie: 7/10. Can't go wrong with this if you love banana cream pie. This + Graham Central are the perfect combination!! Overall, I do wish their ice cream was creamier and more dense. I feel like the flavors dissipate instantly upon tasting because the texture is too airy. Even so, I'm glad a location opened up in Oxnard :) read more

I love this place. It's affordable and fun and unique. The flavors are different and delicious. The portions are crazy. A small is a medium and a medium is a large, etc. The medium is two flavors but like eight scoops I swear. My favorite so far is the blueberry cobbler I think and the salted caramel. The staff has been nice even though they are always busy. They also serve you very quickly and are patient and helpful when you don't know what you want. There is some sitting outside but not a lot. It's more like a drive up and go or drive up and walk around kind of situation. Would definitely recommend also definitely come back. read more

The mixed berry sorbet was so tasty, and the strawberry cheesecake was bomb my daughter said, and black cherry in a cone. My daughter said the cone was tasty and black cherry ice cream was very good. The service was great, I asked questions about the new establishment and they were very helpful with their assistance. I like the walk up window, it gives off like an old ice cream walk up window. It's a cute ambiance read more

We love coming here for the quick service and unusual flavors. The quality of the ice cream is really good. I know this because I have issues when I eat other ice cream. Every once in a while the ice cream is a bit too soft and that means it can melt quickly. I just eat it faster. ;) Will definitely return. read more

So good & so many flavors. I can't believe I'm barely trying out a Handel's. Had a good experience this evening. So glad we didn't have to wait in line at all. It's very chill here. You walk up to the window, order, pay & get your yummy dessert. Outdoor seating only... Had to ask for napkins, as they didn't have any readily available on the counter... Lots of flavors to choose from. Definitely coming back soon to try more :) read more

The service is quick and the ice cream is really good wroth the money. I am fan of this place.

First time trying Handel's Icecream. I got a "small" on a waffle cone... it was HUGE. Could definitely be shared with another person. I got chocolate chip cookie dough, which is a classic. It was the perfect combination of chocolate/dough ratio. My fiance got raspberry chunk. He raved about it! read more

Omg I've been here twice now the ice cream it's sooo good!! The sizes are so big you could share with a few people if you wanted.

Handels Ice Cream is definitely a great addition to the Oxnard area. I now see why this spot was hyped up even before it opened. Who doesn't love ice cream? Especially a place serving 30+ flavors?! Handels is very nice as it's new so it's clean and designed to look more modern while still having that appealing old school ice cream parlor vibe. There was plenty of parking and coming at 5pm it hadn't gotten busy yet. Probably others needed to eat dinner first before getting their dessert lol. Again, the flavor selection is massive and impressive. So many options to choose from. My friend and I had to look online so we could see pictures of what the flavors looked like - some by name are obvious and others not as much so I like that their online site has good pictures. I'm more of a coffee / original flavor ice cream person but it was cool how unique some of these were. The pricing is very reasonable. We opted for a four scoop sampler and despite it being called a sampler they were some good sized scoops! Back to the prices, the sampler which had four big scoops was barely over $8. Couldn't believe it! I've paid about $6-7 at local name brand ice cream shops and that's for only two scoops. I'd say this spot is a good value. Lastly, the staff were super nice. I didn't catch the name of the girl who helped us at the register but she was so sweet. Very patient with us as we needed awhile to look over the menu. She was all smiles and very professional and polite. The gentleman who scooped our ice cream was also nice and crafted us a nice bowl. All in all, while I don't have much of a sweet tooth, I'm really glad we have this spot in Oxnard. It's great for the kids and the ice cream experts. read more

I had a sampler. That is a great option, especially as I couldn't decide which flavor I wanted. I think I'll have to go on another night so I can sample a few more flavors. The staff are very friendly and helpful. There were just so many choices and all were delicious! read more

New Handel's Ice Cream location. There's a line set up to order then your order can be called at any of the 3 windows. They have a huge selection of ice cream flavors and various desserts made from the ice cream such as a hurricane (similar to a blizzard or McFlurry), cones, waffle cones, banana split, and I always get the 4 flavor sampler. There's no inside seating, just a few benches with umbrellas. This is a great addition to the area! read more

This was my first time trying Handel's Ice Cream. Now I know why it's so popular! I was impressed with the quality of the ice cream and the wide variety of flavors. The ice cream was so smooth, so flavorful. I really appreciated how the waffle bowl added a crunchy contrast to the silky smooth ice cream. It was difficult to settle on two flavors, not only because there were so many, but also because Handel's has a bunch of names of flavors I was totally unfamiliar with. In the end I chose Raspberry Chunk and Vanilla. Both were outstanding. I also sampled the flavor called Spouse Like a House, and was instantly in love with that one too! Next time I'm definitely hitting that one! There were so many other interesting flavors I can't wait to go back. And surely I will. The employees were helpful and welcoming. The ice cream was wonderful. The whole experience was fun! That's exactly what I'm looking for in an Ice Cream Shop! Mikey C says: Handel's Ice Cream, 5 Stars All Day! read more

I came here for the grand opening. They gave free ice cream for a year to the first 100 customers, unfortunately couldn't get it but I was happy to have a chance to try their ice creams. This plaza is new, and there are some shops, such as Chick-fil-A and Starbucks. The Townplace Suite by Marriott is still under construction, and Shake Shack has yet to be opened. This plaza will be even more fun once all the shops are open. Also, this area is close to The Collection, so getting an ice cream after shopping would be a good idea. It took me a long time to decide what flavor to order because there were many choices, and all flavors sounded delicious, but I tried "Butter Pecan." FYI, they also have vegan options. The Butter Pecan was good! The sweetness of the ice cream and the slight saltiness of the pecans were well-balanced. I liked that the ice cream was not too sweet(that's what I want) and that there were a lot of pecans in it. There are some tables and chairs outside only. So you can take your dog :) The service was good, and I would like to try another flavor again. Parking is at the front of the shop. read more

Went to Handel's for the first time, I wanted the cheesecake flavor but the Oxnard location does not have it. So I had to go with strawberry cheesecake and the strawberry tasted too much like jam. The cheesecake did not taste like CHEESECAKE AT ALL. My fiance wanted the chocolate covered strawberry but they also didn't have it. And ordered the mint chocolate chip, but the mint ice cream was definitely TOO sweet for our liking. I highly don't recommend. We threw our ice cream in the trash. What a waste of money. read more

I loved the caramel praline on a cake cone . Customer service was amazing. I went back to try the horchata as intrigued by the flavor but I must admit I did not like it . I would not get it again. No worries , they have a huge selection of flavors.. Again, customer service is great ! Really happy to have them in our community. Outdoor seating . Counter service , pay and get your ice cream. I love the old school ice cream shop vibes. Employees all wear a uniform . All super friendly ! I just watched them work through the window . Every employee seem super excited to serve ice cream . LoL , so cute . I'll be back again and again ! read more

New ice cream spot in Oxnard and the treats are on point. Be aware that the lines might be a bit long since they just opened but they move fast and it is worth it. Service is great but of course everyone is learning to handle the crowds and get everything right...so be nice! Chill spot, you order at the window and there is some seating, everything is outdoors. So many flavors to choose from and different items like sundaes, banana splits, shakes... enjoy! read more

I had a terrible experience with an employee today at handles . Soleli the employee who was being extremely rude to me and my kids, not being polite and not even greeting us upon walking in.

It was a very popular place during our July heat spell. Nice selection of flavors and desserts, the servings were huge, and service person was pleasant. I certainly would come again. read more

Excited to have another new ice cream place open up in Oxnard! I have been waiting for Handel's to finally open and the day has come! I was surprised there was no line when I showed up in the afternoon on opening day. The staff were really friendly! I can tell they were still learning on the job but was happily patient for my ice cream. I had to try their Coffee Chocolate Chip since coffee is my favorite ice cream. So rich and creamy! Love that they make fresh batches of ice cream daily. They have so many flavors to choose from that you definitely won't be bored to try something else the next time you visit. Also ordered a Dogster for my fur babies. It's basically a prepackaged ice cream in a cup that is peanut butter and cheese flavored. My pups loved it! Plenty of free parking in the plaza by Starbucks and Chick-Fil-A next to the Collection. Can't wait to come back and try some other flavors and their shakes! read more

Wow, this place is something else! If you are an ice cream person, then this is your spot. Walk up ordering window. Lots of cool flavors and creations to try. Summer is here, so come on down for an ice cream cone. Their scoops are HUGE! read more

Their servings sometimes are too big for their cups, but their flavors and vibes are great.

A new ice cream place! Yay! We came on a Friday night, the line was fairly long, but not Disneyland long. It is set up so that you wait in line and order at the window, and then wait for your ice cream until they call you. The smell of waffle cones from the inside tempts you all the while. There are a few outside tables you can sit at, and parking is truly a NIGHTMARE. When we got to the window, our staff member was friendly and very patient. We ordered our ice cream, and probably waited about 3 minutes before they call out your ice cream and hand it to you. I love how they scoop it. It's very aesthetic. As for the ice cream, it was good. There are SO many options on the menu. However, there is a limited amount of dairy free options...and, given that 2 out of the 4 in my inner circle are lactose intolerant, it stacks up as fairly average compared to other ice cream shops with more dairy-free options. I ordered the Blue Monster. It was really good! I love how the ice cream here has a lot of texture. Handel's is a great new ice cream joint! However, the lack of dairy free options makes it hard for it to stand out compared to others. All in all, it was a pleasant experience. read more

Was excited to give Handel's a try after hearing about the opening of it. Waited for the hype to die down a bit to avoid some of the lines. Today was the perfect day for a visit. It's a walk up only space, no restrooms or wash stations either so be prepared for that. The menu is hectic and the screens change very frequent so it takes some time to sort though. I got the chocolate peanut butter brownie. The small was massive it sat over 6" over the waffle cone. The down side of the entire experience is the non sense method for delivery. They tell you a window for pickup but they pop out a different window. The over all process was slow and chaotic enough for me to say it's a one and done visit. The ice cream was good but not enough to deal with the wait, 30 mins from line to order receipt. read more

Best ice cream I've had in a long time! So many flavors to choose from and all so creamy, yummy, rich. Fast and friendly. The line moves pretty quick. And I love the outdoor seating. Would have been nice to get them in the summer but definitely will be the spot next year! Even through rainy weather, people are flocking to get the ice cream!! I love the option for an ice cream taste before you buy and the 4 pack taster is amazing to share when you can't decide! read more

This was my Second visit to Handel's ice cream in Oxnard since they opened a couple of months ago. This visit took place on a Saturday night, a couple of days after the grand opening of Shake shack in the same parking lot. Handel's line was pretty long and parking was very limited. In part, I am guessing the line was long because shake shack just opened, but from reviews it looked like they only had a chocolate shake available on their menu at night which might've helped. Handel's sales. In any case, the line moved pretty quickly. The servers were quick, efficient, helpful, and friendly and except for just having run out of the flavor I wanted everything was great. We had a single scoop on a sugar cone (in a bowl) and a hurricane, which is similar to a blizzard from Dairy Queen, only with much better ingredient in my opinion. Both items were excellent. The servings were huge. The single small cone consist of about three scoops of ice cream-it was almost more than I could eat.. I have seen a few other reviewers saying that the servings were small, but I really disagree. There are a large variety of flavors some custom they are more than happy to explain what each one is and they do offer samples before you make your purchase. The purchase price was fair. We got a medium hurricane and the small cone and with tip I think it was about $15. Very excited to have so many more new options out near the collection definitely recommend this spot. I'm sure it will be a super popular spot. This summer definitely will return. read more

The best thing about this place is its location it's not inside the absolute Madness which is the mall but across the street where there's a Marriott. Boy what a lucky Mariott you got a Starbucks an ice cream place Shake Shack Panda Express a juice bar and even a dentist to pull your cavities after you eat all of this shit LOL. I've been wanting to try this joint since I saw hordes of people waiting at 1 a.m. at an Oceanside location few years back now they are popping up all over the place even have one in my Valley on Tampa Boulevard. It is a walk-up style counter where you order and then you get presented with a massive cone with like a triple scoop of ice cream. It was so big and melting so fast I needed to require a cup to dip my sugar cone in reverse and empty it into it so I can eat it comfortably as it was getting all over my hands like a crime scene of ice cream. Opted for the chocolate chunk or something it's chocolate with chocolate chips it was pretty good I've had better nothing memorable but for the portion it's very good value and can easily split one into 2 servings I didn't know this so I ordered two of them it came to about 12 or 13 bucks. The sugar cone was the best I've ever had in an ice cream joint so fresh and crispy. They have some ass slamming hard bench seats outside to sit and enjoy while you are getting your tailbone raped thank goodness I have my plushy butt pillow at all times for situations like these. It was fun to try once but gave me nothing to really crave it again. Lots of flavors and diverse cone options so it's a solid 4*. read more

It's soooo gooddd!! I def would recommend if you have a sweet tooth especially for ice cream!! I'm not even joking when I say the scoops are HUGE! Like honestly, this is the best place to go to if you're wanting ice cream that's bigger than your forearm ! read more

The service was quick and delightful. I had the blue monster and I recommend. They also give a good serving no matter the size you get.
