This ice cream shop has been on my list for a while, and I finally got the chance to try it--it…read moredefinitely did not disappoint! We sampled a few different flavors and ultimately went with a two-scoop cup of black sesame and ube (the main reasons I wanted to visit), plus a two-scoop cup of Blue Moon and peach. The black sesame had a very strong, rich flavor with a slightly grainy texture that I absolutely loved, you can tell they use real, high-quality ingredients. The ube was incredible and had that authentic, natural ube aroma. It's so hard to find ube desserts that don't taste artificial or rely on weird purple food coloring, but this one nailed it. My husband got the Blue Moon and peach, which were both super refreshing and perfect for summer. Best of all, none of the flavors were not too sweet! I'll definitely be back to try more of their menu!

The texture of the ice cream is super smooth and rich. It's the perfect place to stop after dinner or just when you're craving something sweet. Definitely worth it.

The ice cream is average. They have a good selection, but we could not get past how disgusting and…read moredirty it was everywhere. The bathroom was filthy. No attention to detail on walls, floors or even the mirror. Patio outside stained everywhere and not just from today. Entrance with windows and ice cream sandwiches seats were also fithy.

Whilst updating a title at DMV one of the agents recommended Handel's. Never slow to check out a…read morepurveyor of ice cream she-who-must-be-obeyed and I beat a hasty trail to Handel's. The staff were very friendly and definitely on top of their game. My partner ordered a chocolate peanut butter ripple malted shake and was mightily impressed. I ordered a scoop of Banana cream pie and chocoholic chunk in a cup. I was richly rewarded by both flavors. We cannot wait to return to taste other flavors amongst the long list of ice creams on offer. We're simply in the queue amongst the many locals who've long been privy to this little slice of ice cream Valhalla.

First timers to Handel's Ice Cream…read more Kinda still steady business when we arrived shortly after 9 PM. They have full menu choices throughout the store & a QR Code available too! Definitely was wanting ice cream. Many yummy flavors to choose from. They have several sugar cones & waffle cone sizes. Did a medium chocolate & peanut dipped waffle cone with Butter Pecan & Cookie Dough. Delicious, creamy, smooth & velvety. Lots of chunks of pecan & cookie dough throughout as well. Making fresh hand made ice cream daily! Tons of options from milk shakes, banana splits, sundaes, brownie sundaes, hurricanes, ice cream sandwiches, Handel pops, frozen dipped bananas to "of course" their ice cream! They rotate daily flavors to feature local favorites & seasonal specialties year round. The history & story of this business started back in 1945. Can just see Mrs. Handel's at her husband's gas station window selling her ice cream with fresh strawberries from her garden. Ohio born business that's expanded to over 175 locations in 20 states should say something about growth in churning & not changing the recipe of quality homemade goodness. Note-Handel's has a secret menu. Can vary by location, but if you google their website; check to see what specific off-menu items they are promoting! Offer Pint Perks & Deals plus sorbets & gluten free sorbets. *In response to the business owner: I stated varies by location & mentioned to google it (as you may want to as well). It does exist, so whether it's a new trend or its locations creating their own signature blends-it's definitely out there! Instagram features a few also..* Only downside: Nearly almost $20 for two medium waffle cones. Get that they stack it generously, but that's steep! Ice cream can melt quick, so get a lot of napkins & you gotta eat it fast. Not much seating outside and non indoors. Saw many LARGE active cockroaches on the concrete around ALL of the retail businesses. *In response to the business owner that went from 4 to 3 stars. We were having our ice cream on one of the very "few" outdoor business benches & clearly know what we saw/experienced while trying to enjoy our ice cream cones! Could be a possibility about the "creatures" you spoke of (that generally migrate around aquatic areas). However, they would have been mixed in with the crickets & yes many colossal cockroaches too! I do not appreciate the dismissive reply & with that- we will not be returning to this location.

I love the variety of flavors they have here- my favorites are their cherry (both versions, one is more like a candy cherry and the other is a natural cherry) and lemon flavors.

I wish I could eat ice cream every single day of my life, but I can't, so when I'm out of town and…read moreon the road I take advantage of all the ice cream places I can. After having some dinner down the street, I came across Churn and knew I needed to come and check this place out. This small ice cream shop had a pretty big line on a Monday night when I arrived but it moved quickly and the ice cream looked dang good in the glass display. I decided on getting a two scoop waffle cone with Cookies & Mint and Milk & Cookies. The ice cream tasted super rich and super creamy, both flavours were very good. Overall, Churn is a top notch ice cream parlour and a place I would probably frequent if I lived in Phoenix. The ice cream here is great, the staff was friendly, and I really wish they had some non small and medium t-shirts because I would of left with one. Great spot.

I first found out about Churn when I visited Windsor for happy hour. They are conjoined and share…read morethe same front/back parking lots and patio. Like literally you can walk between the businesses in the same building. I tried them for the first time during a Windsor/Churn Yelp Elite Event but have since visited Churn alone on my own afterward! I really liked the seasonal flavor milk and cookies because the chocolate chip cookie included in the ice cream is one of their cookies they serve separately anyway, so you know it's good. It had a sweet cream base. My sister and I shared a triple scoop for only $7 and satisfied the both of us. The interior is pretty small, but there's at least patio seating in the back and a bench out front. I'm excited to try other seasonal and permanent flavors in subsequent visits, but for now I love the milk and cookies too much to try anything else and would definitely return for just that!

Came in last night about 5 minutes before close. Guy at the counter was super friendly and…read moreinformative. The ice cream options are wonderful. Much different from the norm. My husband did their chocolate & peanut butter and I had their birthday cake & cinnamon. Each scooped into a fresh waffle cone. They offer cups from small to large also. Their ice cream is made fresh daily! The texture is perfection! Light creamy and luscious. It actually comes from a local dairy farm, just can't get any better than that. It was great. Note-You can take home pre-scooped pints and quarts. Additionally, they sell fresh made butter, cheese and marscapone, ALL from their dairy farm as well! There's a few food trucks, serving far more than ice cream that pop up at many local events from this crew too! Check their website for details. Stop in here to get the entire run down of their fantastic ice cream and extended business. It's a fun location that deserves community support, and clearly a passionate place that you taste in every delicious bite!

But there is a serious problem that has been going on for years: the overwhelming sewer smell inside the shop. It's incredibly strong and makes the experience really unpleasant. From what I understand, the store owners have tried to address it, but it seems to be a larger issue related to the Santan Village property. The gelato is so good that people still come in and power through the smell just to get it, which says a lot about how great the product is. But it shouldn't have to be that way. Someone at the property management level really needs to fix whatever plumbing or sewer issue is causing this. I would love nothing more than to enjoy the gelato here without the smell ruining the experience:(
