    Ooey Gooey Buttercake
    Aja H.

    Nope. Not it at all and won't be back. Stopped in with my family and from the sewage smell alone we should've left. However, we powered through the smell and ordered. I ordered the butter cake cream, my daughter, the sorbet and my husband had the cowboy ice cream. Every ice cream was extremely freezer burned with the most awful taste. We walked out the store, took a couple of bites and trashed all the ice cream in the parking lot. Not to mention, the price point to ratio is ridiculous. I will say, the young lady working behind the counter was very nice!

    Ooey Gooey Buttercake

    I stopped in after lunch to enjoy some dessert. After trying a few flavors, I finally chose a scoop of the ooey gooey buttercake! It was very creamy and actually had chunks of cake in it. The staff was very patient as I debated what to get. The interior has a big cow portrait and the picnic table benches are painted in cow print.

    How it's made!

    Stopped in for the first time after seeing the Nutcracker. Perfect end to a holiday night! I got a medium with a scoop of cookies and cream and a scoop of fudgesicle. The cookies and cream was so creamy and you can totally tell it's made from scratch! So good. And the fudgesicle tasted just like the fudge pops I used to eat as a kid, and it's vegan to boot!! Scrumptious! Hubby got the sweet cream honeycomb. The flavors were very subtle initially, and had a smooth sweetness, and a nice aftertaste of honey. The bits of actual honeycomb added a surprising occasional crunch that provided a variety in bursts of flavor and texture. Staff was friendly and helpful, and I love that we get to sample flavors before buying (just wish they were compostable since it's a lot of plastic wasted). Love the quaint atmosphere of the shop and the vibrant colors and decor, and there are bonus seats out front to enjoy the crisp 65° AZ winter weather!!

    Located in Downtown Chandler, we tried "The Screamery" after a Christmas Eve lunch. The interior had a bit of a strange smell, but appeared clean. The staff was a bit crabby. The ice cream wasn't very good. It's nice to know that everything is "natural", but I had a bunch of ice particles in mine, and my Dad said his was pretty sour. I don't think I'll be back.

    Sweet Cream Honeycomb ice cream on top of a Brownie

    The ice cream options alone are delicious! I LOVED the honeycomb pieces inside the ice cream. The cashier was kind and patient with me while explaining the flavors. Decor was simple . The brownie could've been a better consistency.

    An Ice Cream Flight!

    The ice cream was great. There were a lot of different choices. The prices are reasonable. My first ice cream flight!

    Looking up ice cream places in San Tan and Gilbert Arizona, The Screamery had popped up on Yelp as one of the top places! This ice cream shop is located in downtown Chandler. We ended up parallel parking in an open spot on the street that was available. The Screamery is a local Arizona ice cream chain located in Marana, Tucson, Phoenix, and Chandler. There are currently 6 Screamery locations. Their menu offers a wide range of unique ice cream flavors. As soon as you walk into the ice cream shop, you'll notice several tables situated throughout and bar seating available too! We ended up selecting the Flights of Ice Cream. This included six sample scoops made to enjoy a variety of different flavors. Ooey Gooey Buttercake: Vanilla ice cream mixed with butter cake pieces. Raspberry Cheesecake: Our cheesecake base swirled with a fresh raspberry puree. Triple Play: Chocolate base, brownie pieces, and chocolate chips. Rough At Sea: Sea salt base, honey-butterscotch swirl with candied pecans, almonds, and pistachios. Cowboy Cookie: Salted caramel base with oatmeal, walnuts, and chocolate chip cookies. Sweet Cream Honeycomb: Sweet cream base with handmade honeycomb pieces from local raw honey. My favorite ice cream flavors started with the following Rough At Sea -- Cowboy Cookie -- Ooey Gooey Buttercake -- Sweet Cream Honeycomb -- Tripe Play -- Raspberry Cheesecake I'm not the biggest pistachio fan, but the rough at sea ice cream is absolutely scrumptious. You must try this flavor out! Butterscotch is one of my favorite ice cream flavors, and all the pecans, almonds, and pistachios mixed in really enhanced the flavor. It was so good! The Cowboy Cookie came in at #2. The salted caramel base was yummy. We didn't get too much flavor from the chocolate chip cookies, but you could taste the oatmeal and walnuts. The Ooey Gooey Buttercake #3 for me. There were a lot of butter cake pieces, which reminded me of a birthday cake flavor ice cream. Even though the vanilla ice cream was the base flavor, you really could taste the butter cake flavoring instead. The sweet cream honeycomb, triple play, and raspberry cheesecake were good flavors, but I wouldn't order those a standard order. I liked the other 3 flavors a lot better! The price was inexpensive, less than $10.00 for the flight sample. There was only one team member at the Screamery when we had arrived. The service was great, though, and she did provide feedback on specific ice cream flavors to us, which was wonderful since it was our first time inside the ice cream shop!

    Wow such a fun family owned ice cream shop. They make everything fresh onsite too. With so many flavors to choose from, it can be a bit overwhelming but the sweet cream honeycomb was highly recommended and it was just the right amount of sweet and creamy with nice chunks of real honeycomb. It was a warm day, this was the perfect treat. The shop sits next door to a Mexican restaurant (can't think of the name) right along the busy Arizona Avenue, inside is the cutest cow-themed decor since everything is made from local cow-milk. I loved they even painted the benches with cow print. I'll have to come back for other flavors but I would definitely come just to enjoy the sweet cream honeycomb all over again!!

    All 4 of us rapidly agreed that all the flavors tasted icee' and gritty ! Flavor profiles were lost in the icee texture and this was certainly a far from the creamy texture we expected with a premium ice CREAM!! With regret

    Raspberry Cheesecake
    Kristen L.

    Very delicious. Very sweet. I was thinking about getting a flight of ice creams. I got the honey sweet cream. I tried the chocolate. I thought it was going to be sweeter, but it tasted like regular chocolate ice cream. On the menu board, it said that it had a sweet cream base. I also tried the raspberry cheesecake, and it had a strong raspberry flavor. There were lots of people getting ice cream. There were some bench seats around the store. The store was a little small. They were playing some music in the store. However, whenever someone open the door, I could hear loud karaoke coming from one of the nearby restaurants. Next time I want to try the Oreo sweet cream or the strawberry sweet cream. The ooey gooey butter cake and the triple play also sounded good. The chocolate raspberry fudge would have been interesting too.

    My ice cream flavor was just okay! I've had a couple of different flavors and each time I never finish my small ice cream. The service is very friendly and we love the picnic bench seating.

We showed up a little after 6 on a Friday night (in a particularly warm evening in January), and only a couple other people were there. We were greeted with a good amount of employees ready to take our orders. I was the first one to order and I opted for the 4 scoop sample. In it was banana cream pie, sticky fingers, chocolate peanut butter brownie, and graham central station. Each flavor was creamy and delicious. All of us got our own 4 scoop sample (so good thing there were that many employees ready to help and wasn't too busy at the time). My dad also got the chocolate peanut butter brownie and also the NCY cheesecake flavor. We both agreed the brownies in the chocolate flavor tasted like the usual frozen brownie chunks that don't really taste that great. He also commented the NYC cheesecake, while still good, was his least favorite. On the contrary, everything else I got was tasty (shout out to banana cream pie). My brother got the blue Oreo flavor was loved it. My mom loved her four flavors and commented that it had a lot of mix-ins "just like Ben & Jerry's" which she was a big fan of. Another great experience at a Handel's!

My bigger gripe was that it took a long time despite there not being too many people. We were the only parties in there in the beginning and a buddy ordered a single scoop of ice cream first. When we had all finished individually ordering, more people arrived. Instead of giving us our orders first or even starting on it (again, our first friend ordered a normal scoop first), he went ahead and started with the customers that just arrived. That would be fine, but as he was the only worker, we had to wait almost 10 minutes before our ice cream was even started on.
