Long live handels !!! Hands down some of the best ice cream I've had! I love how generous they are with their scoops and also the selection they have. The inside is clean, bright, and spacious. The workers are nice and friendly, letting you try and sample their flavors. My favorites are the graham central station, monkey business and strawberry. It doesn't taste artificial and tastes like real fruit/ingredients. The 4-scoop sampler is a steal for $7.75 - I love to get this and share. :)

So excited this place opened closer to us. I first ever tried Handels in Southwrn California and loved it then. This location is near Broadway St. close to all the shops and restaurants and plenty of parking in the area. Came in and it wasn't too busy. Big and clean area. There isn't any place to seat but a small counter booth to enjoy your ice cream. This is meant to enjoy outside the shop. Young lady allowed us to try a couple of ice cream. We did settle on chocoholik chunk and Grand central station pint to take home. Average pricing compared to other ice cream shops but great quality tasting ice cream. This is a new family favorite ice cream shop moving forward.

Got the strawberry and pistachio this time around and it was delicious! On the sweeter side but the ice cream was decadent!

used to love getting ice cream at handel's back when i lived in vegas and was shocked to see they have a location here. i got a sampler of cotton candy, snickerdoodle, vanilla with oreo, and french silk pie. snickerdoodle was by far my favorite!! they also have a military discount and it's 30%!! saved me a lot of money, thank you!

Close to the century parking lot so very convenient. Lots of flavors to choose from. Reasonable prices. My sister enjoyed her cherry ice cream. I got s'mores which was a little too sweet for my liking, but would definitely go back to try something else. Service is fast. Space is open and clean. Great new addition to the downtown Walnut Creek scene.

Finally had a chance to try Handel's after watching a movie at the Cinemark next door. Best decision ever! The customer service was excellent, fast and friendly while also double checking that what we ordered had no peanuts. Given the ton of flavor options, we went for the four scoop sampler which comes to about $2 per scoop. Given the size of these scoops, it was an amazing value. Most importantly, the quality of the ice cream was truly top tier - definitely one of the best dessert options in the area. Although there was no seating, the white and blue theme was clean and cool while giving off an ice-cream factory vibe. It is a great option for after lunch or dinner or perhaps after watching a show at the Lesher Arts Center. We will definitely be back for more!

A really popular ice cream shop! They have a wide selection of flavors to choose from. Hard to choose, but a popular one is the Graham central station. I got the salty caramel truffle. The only vegan options I saw was the mango and strawberry sorbet. They have a baby cone-- perfect size for your babies and it's free! So cute Guy took our order all at the same time, tried to memorize it, only to get our order wrong and asked us again.. I definitely want to come back and try more of their flavors!

Whoa! I was excited to hear this ice cream shop was opening after I had browsed their menu online. There were so many flavors and really interesting ones too! My mother-in-law is visiting and wanted to treat our son to ice cream, so we decided to check this place out. We were a little disappointed that there is no seating. We were hoping for a nice place to sit and enjoy our ice cream but there is a bench or two outside and thankfully one was available. It's a pretty big shop, but it's full of freezers because they offer so many flavors! The menu is pretty extensive and they offer limited edition flavors as well, so make sure to look for those too. My mother-in-law and my husband both got a single scoop in a cone. It's huge! The staff told me it's actually 2.5 scoops. You can only order one flavor though unless you get the next size up. We were set to get our son a scoop, but then we saw the tasting flight! You can get 4 scoops (of 4 different flavors!) for $1 and change more than the single! So for just a tiny bit more you can have 4 scoops vs 2.5! This is such a good deal and was perfect for sharing with my son. We decided this would be the new go-to order when we come to share the tasting flight for my husband, our son and me! The Salted Caramel flavor was amazing. It was my favorite flavor I tried. It was pretty salty! I loved it. The coconut flavor was unique and delicious. We had to get a chocolate one because that's my son's favorite so we went with French Silk which was good. They let you try a sample of a few flavors as well. The staff member that helped us was so kind! He was the one that suggested the tasting flight and commented that it was a great deal plus you can get more flavors! Plus, he labeled the scoops which was really handy! I love this new addition to the area and can't wait to try more flavors! Welcome Handel's!

My new favorite ice cream place in Walnut Creek! I've been here 4 times now, and have loved all the flavors I've tried - and there are so many to choose from! I've brought friends here who have also become big fans. Very fair prices, free samples, and high quality ice cream with fresh ingredients. Service has usually been good and efficient. Here's what I've tried: -Banana Cream Pie 5/5 -Black Cherry 4/5 -Ooohh Dough 5/5 -Taro 5/5 You can't really go wrong, so try some samples and treat yourself! The waffle cones and waffle bowls were tasty, too.
