First time coming here and it was absolutely amazing! I love frozen yogurt and they definitely do it well. For a small business there is such a large variety of flavors that taste sooo good. The cookie dough? Are you kidding? It was so good and had a slightly salt touch to it. For a small business, the amount of toppings they had was a pleasant surprise. As soon as I stepped foot inside I was greeted by party lights and the staff greeting me. Apparently if you round up to a charity when you pay, they throw a small dance party for you with a song and party lights!! Places like these are why I love small businesses! read more

It's a really nice place to get a treat and I love that they donate to charities, my only complaints though is that you only have a fruit option if you're vegan and the amount of AI art use on posters, their website, and food truck is super off putting. read more

Cute small business with a lot of charm. I had to stop here since they had a special for Matcha. I am obsessed with matcha and it's hard to find soft serve around Syracuse. The staff was very nice and gave quick instructions to direct us around the store which had a bit of a different layout. We went on no weigh Wednesday, which here it has 3 different sizes for that. There were a decent amount of froyo options, but notably only one sugar free option so it was a bit limited for my partner. There weren't as many toppings as other froyo places in the area as well. The back area has a bunch of free to play arcade games and a fun vibe, with a lit up netted ceiling. read more

Luv Handlz - Matcha froyo with nutella - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Syracuse, New York

My friend hosted a birthday party at Luv Handlz. The party room was a sensory-friendly space, dark but cozy with low lighting, lots of soft colored lights, and low sound levels. The whole vibe felt relaxed, welcoming, and thoughtfully designed for all kids to enjoy. The staff was incredibly patient, and you can tell they truly care about creating an inclusive environment. As a parent, that meant everything. The kids had the best time swirling their own froyo, adding toppings, enjoying the cookie cake, and playing the free arcade games. It kept everyone entertained without being overwhelming. The unlimited photo booth prints were such a fun touch and made the day even more memorable. We celebrate neurodiversity, and Luv Handlz does too. The space makes every child feel seen, supported, and able to have fun comfortably. Parking can be a bit limited, but there's street parking and an additional lot across the street behind Chadwick's. Whether you're hosting a birthday, grabbing pizza and froyo with friends, or just looking for an easy afternoon treat, this is such a great spot. Fun, simple, inclusive, and genuinely welcoming. Highly recommend! read more

Luv Handlz is effectively a family friendly frozen yogurt bar- bumping music, a fun person behind the counter, a wall of cold treats, and a counter full of mix-and-match topping options. The pricing is done by cup size and weight. You grab your cup, fill it from the wall, which also lists info such gluten free, dairy free, low fat, etc, with each option. Then it's on to toppings such as fresh berries, boba, gummy bears, crunchy granola, sprinkles, chocolate... just...a lot. And then sauces too! When you pay you have the option to round up and extras goes to a listed charity of your choice. As a thank you the cashier does a fun little dance! Aside from the wall they have froyo milkshakes, floats, and even froyo nachos. For seating Luv Handlz is a great place for everyone to socialize, having a bunch of tables and games in their front area and free arcade games in the back room (where's it's usually quieter too). They have a few tables outside as well. They regularly host events, such as character meet and greets and food truck Tuesdays. I think it's great that they're open until 11pm! For cars there is a small private parking lot and usually ample nearby street parking. Like many Eastwood businesses it is on a bus line. The nearest bike rack is a block over at Stafford and James. read more

Luv Handlz - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Syracuse, New York

One of the perks of being an adult is that you can decide to eat dessert before dinner, or for dinner if you really want. On a sunny, super warm evening, I decided it was time to try Luv Handelz. Normally, you pay by weigh, which is pretty standard for froyo places. However, today was weightless Wednesday, meaning each small white cup was $5 regardless of weight or toppings. I don't know if this is an every week thing, but if it is, I'll likely be back sooner rather than later. Also, totally indulging in the fantasy that "weightless Wednesday" means that the froyo is calorie free and will have no effect on my diet. :) I was initially confused because upon entering, it's not immediately obvious where the cups are located. For a solid minute, I failed to realize there's another part of the wall to the right of the dispensers that are initially visible, and the cups are at the very end. Maybe have more signage or put the cups in the middle, because I almost had to wait in the line to ask the girl at the counter. I'm not sure if it was just because it was an unusually warm night and a busier day than usual, but the toppings counter (which is within eyesight of the cashier, but self-serve on the customer side) was a tad messy and that was offputting. However, I totally can understand that when there's a rush sometimes things get out of kilter. Willing to overlook this one little thing. On the plus side, there is a HUGE variety of toppings, including unexpected options like rainbow cookies and mochi (had to go for both.) When it was my turn to pay, the cashier was SO SWEET and nice and was making a real effort to be welcoming and hospitable, which definitely improved the experience for me and made me want to come back. The way she was chatting with the customers in line before me made me think they were regulars and this was a nice, communal, neighborhood spot. Top notch customer service. This is a great place to bring kids, as they have a veritable buffet of colorful sugar to load on top of the frozen treats, plus a whole room of arcade games. I went for half green apple half passionfruit, and the froyo was tangy and refreshing. Mochi bits were definitely the right topping choice. I enjoyed my treats outside in one of the deck chairs. (Which only looks out onto their small parking lot and James Street, but still felt nice to be in the sunshine!) This is a pretty sweet spot and a nice place to come if you have kids, or if you happen to be a kid at heart. read more

I've driven by this place hundreds of times, never realizing it was a frozen yogurt place. We haven't had a chance to get out much this year, but had some extra cash and were already out on James St. so what better time to stop in? I'm way better versed in ice cream than frozen yogurt. I've been to Sweet Frog, but I'm not suited for the standard pay by weight frozen yogurt model. Place more toppings than I ever knew existed in a beautiful self serve set up and then make me fiscally responsible for what I do with it? Genius business idea, but it hurt paying $23.49 for two bowls. We waited about 5 minutes behind the people in front of us before we realized the bowls were available around the corner. I didn't find out til later that the games in the arcade room were free to play either, or I would have tried my hand at some old childhood games. They have I think 5 or 6 ice cream machines loaded up with 2 flavors each. I went with Peanut Butter mostly, but got caught in the mania and added some cheesecake ice cream, grass hopper, cookies and cream, I don't know maybe some others. It was all a blur. I cut myself off at least three times at the toppings station, but it didn't take. You can't tell by the picture (right side), because I covered everything in sauces and started over. All around, it was on par with other frozen yogurt experiences I've had. Both me and my girlfriend can be difficult customers at ice cream places, our orders usually come with a set of instructions. I'd say the experience and the quality is better than most ice cream places, but usually not worth paying nearly twice as much. read more

Luv Handlz - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Syracuse, New York

Easy to spot in the heart of Eastwood a few blocks from The Palace Theater on the same side of the street with plenty of parking in front. We were greeted as we entered. Very clean and spacious inside with fun decor and multiple two flavor creamy yogurt machines and including a twist at each to self serve your chosen sized cup and start your treat. On to the many toppings, crushed and pieces of oh so many candies, fruit gummies and more, even boba beads, then last but not least syrup options hot and cold, and final toppings such as nuts and whipped cream although keeping it low cal and gluten free would require some adjustments but where is the fun in that? Serve yourself but when you check out the staff are full of personality that matches the ice cream fun vibe and don't forget to donate to your charity of choice for an extra surprise ! read more
