    Horchata and Watermelon Aguas Frescas
    Dawn M.

    Friendly, inviting, and the best in town! Excited to see a paleta bar close by! Entering the store, the employees were friendly and was served quickly. I got the horchata and watermelon agua freshcas. Both were hits! Just the right amount of sweetness. I got a chance to test taste the Kahlúa and it tasted just like coffee! I'll have to get that next time. I'll be coming back to try the paletas!

    Love this place. Delicious and refreshing. Only drawback is that it comes out to almost $10 a person, so $50 for a family of 5. A little bit of a splurge But I'd rather pay a little more and have it be this good, than a little less and meh .

    Mango paleta dipped in white chocolate and coconut, and coconut paleta dipped in chocolate with almonds. Taste like an Almond Joy. Yum

    Just found our new ice cream place! All natural, from scratch I've cream and natural juices. Soooo good.

    I've been hearing about this place for a little while and we finally stopped in for a sweet treat! The concept was new to us and the associate explained the process and even let us try their new flavor! My son picked out the bubble gum and my husband and I went with the hazelnut crunch. Both were delicious and not overly sweet! We will definitely be back!

    YUM! Our group of 7 earned these Paletas! There is a 4-step process to create your Paleta and the employees are super helpful if you are confused. I ordered Hazelnut Crunch, dipped in Dark Chocolate, covered in Oreo crumbs and served with sliced bananas. BOMB. So many combinations to be created

    Love this place! You choose your flavor of bar, then dip, then toppings. The fruit cup with tajin and Chamoy was excellent, fruit was perfectly ripe and fresh! The employees were kind and open for any questions, made you feel very comfortable. Very clean, made 2 stops on our trip to Mesa.

    I love new mom and pop establishments like this one where there is lots of energy from the staff. When we walked in, we were greeted by an employee who offered to let us know how the ordering of their menu works to do each step of the process. in a nutshell, I would describe this as souped up gourmet Popsicles. My daughters both got the Oreo Paleta have to put in chocolate and Oreo toppings. They were delicious and a fun Friday night treat. This staff recommended their fresh made Horchata so we had to get one of those and OMG, it was to die for. We will definitely be back

    I discovered this Paleta bar while searching for new food places on Yelp. It looked good, so I bookmarked the business to try out on my next trip to the area. Walked into the Paleta bar and there was nobody else, so I was able to really look at the different flavors. Picked my flavor paleta, then picked the dip, and topping. The person working behind the counter was very nice and helpful. The paleta was very good. I'll definitely be back to try another.

    WOW! Paletas...creamy - delicious - refreshing. Incredible selection of toppings including nuts and fruits. Superstar customer service! Menu includes paletas, fruit cups, Aquas Frescas.

    Said H.

    Wow did this place impress! Saw it by chance and thought I'd give it a try... they have both milk based or water based popsicles. Lots of options made with fresh fruits like mango, coconut, and strawberry to fun stuff like bubble gum and Oreo. Get them dipped in chocolate, candy toppings, or fruits if you're feeling fancy. They tasted very fresh and creamy! They have other stuff like agua frescas (fruit juices), street corn, and shakes. The employees (owners?) were also very friendly. We'll definitely be back to try some more flavors!

    Paleta bar was very clean and staff was very friendly. I totally recommend coming here. The paletas are amazing, and I love how you can customize it to your liking!!

    We stumbled upon this place after a movie and decided to give it a shot. Will say that this is one of the best desserts I've EVER had. Im pretty sure the owner served us and she was seriously so kind and offered us samples. The place was pristinely clean. Truly blown away by this establishment.

    They were making more of the missing ones, so you can still order them.
    Ileana S.

    This place is so good! Paletas are made fresh in-house everyday so they're all yummy. I had the coffee and my family all had the bubblegum. The paletas alone are so smooth and flavorful but you can add toppings also. Service was great, they explain everything if it's your first time and offer suggestions. We also got a creamy cantaloupe agua which was also very good and not too sweet. We will definitely be back to try the elote and the other paleta flavors.

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.

What I like about creamistry is that you can basically make any ice cream base vegan. Since they use the liquid nitrogen thing, you can have ice cream that tastes pretty close to the real thing. Two thumbs up. It's a tiny place with like only 5 tables, but it's cool to watch the liquid nitrogen process, especially for little ones who get excited by the excess gas flowing out and making it seem like they have smoke machines on their ice cream machines. Lots of options for flavors and toppings, so you'll find something for everyone here, including those croffles (waffle ice cream, but I have not tried nor have seen anyone else try). It's a bit pricey, but you pay for the experience. I've paid more for a lot more mediocre ice cream (that wasn't vegan) so ultimately I think this is a good place. TLDR; vegans rejoice--we have ice cream!

I had to go ask her for samples she handed them to me, but didn't ask if it was our first time there if we needed any help or anything, we tried some of the yogurt samples, but ultimately we ended up getting some chocolate covered strawberries, the pecan clusters, and the peppermint bark chocolate bar! As I was taking pictures, the girl was still on her phone! We did interrupt her by asking her for the strawberries and the other stuff. She was just very quiet, not very friendly, which is OK I guess for a young teenage girl. The other girl came out of the back and that's when the one that was originally up there was a little bit more chatty with her coworker. The other one was way more friendly because as more customers walked in she greeted them, gave them samples. She was just a lot more friendly than the first original girl that was standing up there! But as I said, we went in for the delicious chocolate covered strawberries, and we will definitely be back there again!
