    Chocolate & Milk Swirl
    Lucy L.

    Somisomi is yummy yummy. We stopped by for dessert over the weekend and it hit the spot. It's not too sweet so it's perfect. Service was friendly and quick. There are oddly shaped benches inside that I wish they designed it differently. I swear every kid tries to slide down the bench. They tried to block off one side with decorations but they need to block the other side too. They're waiting for an accident to happen! Anyway, I got the chocolate and milk swirl. I added Oreo crumbs and fruity pebble cereal and had it topped with a macaron. It was really for my son but I got to have part of it. My husband loves the matcha here!

    Visited Somi Somi after dinner with my grandma and sister for a quick dessert, and it was a nice little treat. We ordered the banana and matcha soft serve, and as always, Somi Somi's soft serve was incredibly creamy -- this visit was no exception. They weren't busy at all, so we walked right in and got served immediately. The only downside was that our taiyaki fish bread wasn't warm, likely because there weren't many customers and they weren't making them as frequently. Overall, still a good visit for creamy soft serve, but I definitely prefer when the shop is a bit busier so the fish bread comes out hot and fresh.

    Coming from LA, Somi Somi was one of my go-to spots, so I was so excited to find one here in AZ! The quality and flavors are just as amazing as I remember. Their soft serve is super creamy, rich, and perfectly sweet honestly some of the best ice cream anywhere. But the real star for me is the stuffed taiyaki. I always get mine filled with Nutella, and it's absolute heaven: warm, soft, and gooey on the inside, with the perfect little crisp on the outside. Paired with the soft serve, it's the ultimate treat. So happy this place exists here now. I'll definitely be coming back all the time, just like I did in LA!

    Banana pudding x matcha swirl with a macaron cookie

    I love this type of dessert place - soft serve/taitaki. And I love that Somi Somi has a rotating seasonal flavor - I've tried corn and banana pudding. I got the banana pudding mixed with matcha. I was so excited for banana pudding, but it tasted like creamy artificial banana. And in the swirl, the banana pudding flavor was overpowered by the matcha. The matcha flavor itself was not particularly very matcha-y either. I had a similar experience when I got the corn/matcha swirl too unfortunately. The seating is also not the best. It's just bench seating, so not very comfortable, and no tables. Service has always been good though!

    The service is usually good and I enjoy coming here for a sweet treat. However, I've tried to come in at least three times this past week but it's been closed every time. I don't know what's going on but I think it's very unprofessional to have the store closed on multiple random days. There was even a sign posted that said they'd be back on the 26th, but it was closed. I'm very disappointed with this business and I won't be them my money anymore.

    This place is bombbbbb for dessert. The taiyaki was really good and I accompanied it with milk ice cream and peach swirl. The inside was clean and spacious and the workers were friendly.

    Matcha and Milk Swirl Soft Serve
    Chloe G.

    I love Somisomi! Their soft serve is something I always look forward to when in Chandler or California. Smooth ice cream with fun flavors and complimentary topping. I love the taiyaki cone with Nutella! I think they regularly have matcha, ube, milk, and red bean as their flavors. Sometimes they have limited edition ones! The store has been quiet every time I've gone in, which means quick service! Looking forward to coming back!

    We walked in this cute place for the first time. The lady employee was working by herself. She started getting much busier after we ordered. She was very professional, positive, and welcoming. She gave great customer service even under pressure! The matcha ice cream is AMAZING!!!

    Dalgona Soft Serve with Nutella Filled Ah-Bong and Biscoff Crumbles + Coconut Flakes
    Olivia K.

    A delicious little dessert spot! Had to remove a star for the ambiance- there was no indoor seating and for some reason, we were not allowed to sit on the benches while we waited. However, the food was delicious! I ordered an upside-down Ah-boong (filled fish pastry and soft serve) to share.We chose the nutella filling with the dalgona flavored soft serve, and topped with biscoff crumbles and coconut flakes. We also ordered 5 taiyaki to go- Matcha, Black Sesame, Red Bean, Nutella, and Oreo. The soft serve was delicious- it had a subtle, delicate, caramelized sugar flavor that was accented beautifully by the toppings we chose. The crispy filled shell goes together amazingly with the soft serve- my only wish was that the dalgona flavor could have been slightly stronger in the soft serve! The Taiyakis were also delicious- my favorite was the Nutella and the Matcha Custard. The crispy outer shell combined with the mochi-like inside and the warm filling was heavenly! The Black Sesame could have been a bit sweeter, but I appreciate that they have sweet and less sweet options for palates of all kinds. They also keep and reheat well if you are looking for a to-go treat to eat later. A great spot for a delicious dessert!

    Delicious sweet treat! Loved the ube and milk swirl ice cream. Taiyaki tasted fresh - crispy on outside and soft inside. Storefront is very clean and basic. Service was friendly. Would definitely recommend for your next sweet craving.

    Matcha / oreo swirl with oreo powder on top and two fresh strawberries
    Christa M.

    I always walk by this place since we visit this plaza often but had not made it in. I finally decided to give them a try and wow, was I blown away. The workers were friendly and greeted us as we walked in. They were out of the "fish bowl" but we were told we could get our ice cream in a cup. We opted for an Oreo and matcha swirl in a small cup with sprinkled Oreo dust and two strawberries. The swirl combination we picked was delicious! The texture of the ice cream was creamy and very rich in flavor. The strawberries were super sweet and big! Now I know why this place is always busy - it's pretty good!

    The most delicious and fun ice cream I've ever had! The portions are HUGE. I would recommend making a smaller size option for children. Too big for them to finish, parents are more likely to come back if the food doesn't end up wasted for being too much for a child.

    Stopped in for my first experience after eating nearby and was not disappointed. Ordering is easy, there are four items to choose from and then a selection of options from there, but very user friendly. I ordered the upside down with cookies and cream and matcha soft serve and my taiyaki filled with custard. My order was called within a minute or two and I was given options of toppings as well as a mini macaroon and strawberry's. The cookies and cream soft serve was delicious but I was not a fan of the matcha. Thats not a fault of somisomi, I just wasn't a fan. The taiyaki was the star of the show I my opinion, it was fresh and crunch but soft. This was my first time trying this dessert and I'm glad I did. The custard filling was tasty, not too sweet. The combo of all three was perfect in my opinion. Staff was friendly and inside was clean and inviting. I will definitely be back and highly recommend checking this place out!

    Scoop, scoop, hooray! I'm the 400th review for this business on Yelp…read more Since trying Handel's at previous Yelp events, I've had on my radar to try at one of their locations. Especially since my boyfriend loves ice cream. Today we made a lunch date when he was visiting town, complete with ice cream to cool us down on this warm July day in Arizona. We opted to eat in my car with air conditioning, though they have bench seating outside. In cooler months, I'm sure that seating is nice to sit at to enjoy your treat. What We Ordered: - Monkey Business scoop in a dipped waffle bowl: My boyfriend throughly enjoyed and said it was very banana forward; which is a plus for him. I personally hate banana, so he had something for once that I didn't take a girlfriend bite out of. - S'mores scoop in a dipped waffle bowl: Very interesting to have the base be graham cracker, but I really enjoyed. Love the little chocolate bits to add a crunch as you eat, though the mini marshmallows have a weird texture to me. Still a solid scoop, and I'll try other flavors when we return. Definitely looking forward to the location opening on Signal Butte, but glad we didn't wait until that opened to try. Delicious and I'm sure I'll visit the new location opening by my house.

    We've been to several Handel's locations over the years, and unfortunately, this was by far our…read moreleast favorite. First, the location itself is very small and cramped inside, and there isn't any outdoor seating, which made it difficult to enjoy our ice cream. The biggest disappointment here was the customer service. My friend ordered a milkshake for her two toddlers to share and politely asked if the extra half could be poured into a second cup. The employee had to ask the manager, who immediately said no. My friend explained that other Handel's locations have happily done this before, and even offered to pay for the extra cup. The manager still refused and told her she'd have to purchase two separate milkshakes instead. The request wasn't for extra product--just a second cup for two small children to share. What made the experience worse was the manager's attitude. She came across as rude and dismissive rather than trying to help find a reasonable solution. We understand that every location has its own policies, but customer service goes a long way. Unfortunately, between the cramped space and the poor experience with the manager, we won't be returning to this location.

It was just interesting to have with a place that appeared to be for ice cream. The ice cream itself was pretty good, but nothing to write home about.

They've also added a small food menu with Mediterranean-style snacks and gyros, which is a nice idea. Overall, it's not bad and convenient if you're nearby, but not somewhere I'd go out of my way for.
