Handel's Homemade Ice Cream is a popular spot in Carlsbad, known for its delicious ice cream and special flavors like "Monkey Business." The menu, available both in-person and online, offers a variety of unique options such as peanut butter brownie, mint Oreo, lemon bar, and blue monster. Customers can enjoy large servings, with a small being equivalent to two regular scoops, providing good quantity for the price. The shop features outdoor seating, though parking can be challenging to find, making it worth the effort. Visitors often appreciate the quick-moving lines, despite their length, and some guests visit more than once during their stay. Many enjoy the "frosty paw" for dogs, making it a welcoming place for pets and their owners. All ice cream is egg free, accommodating dietary restrictions, and many find the flavors to be addicting. The shop offers a walk-up window without indoor seating, with only a few picnic tables outside in a busy area near State Street, close to shops, restaurants, and coffee spots. The large portions and yummy hot fudge are favorites, and the huge cones are a hit with visitors. Overall, Handel's is a well-loved local favorite for anyone craving creamy, delicious ice cream.
