    Chocolate peanut butter brownie
    Frances L.

    Great addition to downtown Livermore! I've been to their location in Irvine and am happy to have a location near home. Love all the different flavors and my fave is the chocolate peanut butter brownie. It's so good with the chunks of brownies and peanut butter. Big and clean inside with lots of employees. Service was fast and friendly and they offer samples. There was a line when I arrived but it moved quickly. No seating inside and nothing outside. It was a warm day with lots of people standing around outside or sitting on the sidewalk enjoying their ice cream. Some benches would be great. Enjoyed my ice cream but wish it was more firm. It melted quickly but no problem. I ate it quick and I'll be back for more!

    With the weather warming up, Handel's opened up just in time. There were a ton of different flavors to sample, but ultimately my friend and I were set on the ice cream we wanted already. The line moved quickly and service was fast. There's no seating, but it's perfect if you want to grab your ice cream and take a walk downtown.

    Four scoop sampler

    Yumm!! I'm a sucker for ice cream. My hubby took me here on opening day before Livermore Handel's Yelp page came up and we didn't have a line to beat. There were so many flavors to choose from that I couldn't decide but they give the option to sample them. Even with the option to sample, we couldn't decide exactly what we wanted so we ordered the 4-scoop sampler. The scoops were relatively big and only for $8!! We tried the vanilla with oreo, chocolate peanut butter brownie, orange dream cream, and ooohh...dough! All were delicious, but my favorite was the oreo one. There isn't any seating inside but it's spacious inside.

    Our cones - butter pecan and monkey business

    We've been looking forward to a new ice cream place, after spending plenty of time at a soft serve place newly in town. I ordered my usual butter pecan, while The Wife had monkey business, with banana, brownie chunks, caramel, and who knows what else. Fortunately, it was a Wednesday night, so the place wasn't as packed as we've seen it on the weekends. Both flavors were really good, and I look forward to trying a shake. We need good shake places here. Bright space and friendly service from a young, energetic staff.

    What a delight! We were really looking forward to welcoming this latest sweet shop into our community, and it didn't disappoint. The shop is light and bright. The employees are well trained, friendly, and efficient. The prices are very reasonable and a good value for what you receive. My husband and I shared the sampler which was $8 for four scoops of our choice. Each one was delicious! We cannot wait to visit again.

    So many flavors to choose from lol. The serving size for a small is a lot too. Great service overall. Definitely recommend!

    Great/fast customer service and delicious flavors! I got the small in a cup and that was the perfect size.

I'm gonna be honest, I had their matcha from their OG store in Westwood when they were called Sip! I always thought their matcha was good, but I only got to enjoy it when I was going to school around there which was brief! Aside from now aging myself, I got the Guava Matcha from them and the employee recommended getting less sweet if I don't like overly sweet drinks. I have to say, it was perfect sweetness for me! The balance of matcha flavor and guava was 5/5. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm shopping in the area. It was satisfying and makes me crave their matcha!

    This is the only Junbi location I've visited twice for their limited-edition BT21 and Snoopy…read moremerchandise. I just like how easy the parking is compared to other locations in the Bay Area. The staff was welcoming every time I opened the door. They were kind enough to tell me which seasonal drinks I could adjust to oat milk, and the rest you can adjust the sweetness and add toppings for an extra charge. I tried their Snoopy Chocolate Hazelnut Matcha Latte with oat milk, less sweetness, and less ice. There was a strong Nutella flavor with good consistency, but the matcha wasn't strong enough for me when I didn't mix it. I even got myself a Snoopy matcha plush keychain as my birthday gift for $18, which is pricey but durable enough to hang on your bag. It's a pretty small shop, yet it's covered in cute and colorful decor. Plus, the tables are clean since most customers usually wait for their drinks and leave rather than sit down.

    My friends and I stuffed our faces with pizza and decided to walk it off to check out places around…read moredowntown. It was a very hot Saturday and we decided to cool off with some ice cream from Loard's. I have always been a fan since my childhood, butter brickle and peppermint ice cream are my go-to. I had never visited this location before. Walking in, the ambiance wasn't giving me the warm fuzzies like the other well-lit Loard's locations did. It's pretty dim with only one window emitting any light from outside. It still has it's pink and white interior, but it doesn't scream "ice cream shop." One thing that stood out to me was the menu. It appeared they might've updated several of their prices with the edits marked all over it. It just looks tacky, but I understand that making a new sign can be costly. Hopefully in the near future this could be given a nice facelift. We ordered a scoop of ube, a scoop of toasted almond, and a scoop of mint chocolate chip ice cream. Unfortunately you couldn't eat indoors so we stood outside the shop and hurried to eat the ice cream before it melted. Would I come back here again? Maybe, but I prefer the Castro Valley location more as it just gives more of the feels of an actual ice cream shop and it's got a pleasant vibe to it.
