“Absolutely the best ice cream ANYWHERE! Always love getting ice cream here. Things have gotten so expensive these days and Handles value cannot be beat! One final note….we went through the drive thru and were helped by the nicest most incredible young lady EVER! I believe her name is Sammy. If she is an example of the type of people Handles employs, then they are as good at hiring employees as they are at making ice cream.“

“Delicious! Great environment and friendly staff. Not too expensive either. Clean and lots of options. Very good!“

“Yum, yum, yum. Very nice place with great flavors. I can really recommend mango, chocolate and salted caramel pretzel. Large menu with toppings and good stuff.Place is extremely clean and neat. No background music (but tv was on in the kids corner) so it feels a bit "empty".But over all a great place and we are definitely coming back.“

“Came here after a steak dinner for dessert and there was one kid working alone with a line.

Ice cream was delightful and the brownies in founder's favorite was yummy and not stale.

Place was somewhat clean but in betweem serving and creating different ice creams could of used better scraping on the stone. Aside from getting some straggler sprinkles that i did not krder in my ice cream service was great. He was fast and friendly but probably could use some help. Take a hint management.

Probably was there for like 15-20 minutes total due to waiting just under $10 for an ice cream that's not a pint is wild but that's the economy.“

“My favorite ice cream is praline 🍦💓“

“Great Place a PD Must 5 ⭐️xxx“

“I loved this place. My wife and I enjoyed a date day today, and this was one of the stops that helped make it a great experience.

The quality of the gelato is on point, the service is on point, and considering the location, quality, and what other places charge, I’d say this place is a hidden gem.

We had a freshly made waffle cone topped with strawberry and peach gelato, and it was excellent. The Mrs. had an affogato that she thoroughly enjoyed as well.

Too bad we didn’t take pictures—everything looked as good as it tasted. We’ll definitely be back!

“Grand scoop size, delicious taste!
Mint Chocolate chip & coffee chocolate chip in a waffle bowl is pure heaven. The pistachio has big full pistachios inside!
The service is impeccable…..
Our female scooper was quick & efficient with a wonderful & helpful personality!
Be ready for a line- but it’s worth it!“

“You know how there are places you wish were close to where you live and at the same time, wish they were further away?! This is one of them. Although I expect that if there was one near where I live, I hope I'd be able to exercise a little self control.
The ice cream here is so fresh and delicious, it's hard to describe. For instance, their coffee ice cream tastes like pure coffee as opposed to coffee flavoring. The same goes for all of their flavors.
It appears that there are only 6 locations on the West Coast and 3 of them are in Palm Springs/Palm Desert. Nothing on the East Coast.
There are locations in Hawaii as that is where this ice cream eminated from. That's also where I first had this amazing delicacy.
If you have the good fortune of coming across one of the stores, I obviously highly recommend it.“

“The prices were a little high for ice cream, but the woman Kim working there was so sweet and gave us such an enticing description that we decided to give a try.
It was very yummy-- rich and decadent. I especially enjoyed the Toffee Cappuccino. We'll be back to try more flavors, the menu has lots of other interesing options!!“

“I just tried this place last week as I am staying in Palm Springs for a month. I loved the sandwiches! I might go back today to explore more of their food, and buying some of their awesome Vegan shirts and merch!“

“The Best“

“Great staff! Thank you Jenny(A), great ice cream! Highly recommend Lapperts!
Date Shake! Excellent.
Kona Pie Ice cream and Coffee dark chocolate chip both great! Oh and the Dole Whip is real refreshing.
Go to Lapperts!“

“Just took my son in to celebrate his first day of school and we had the absolute pleasure of dealing with a Miss AnneMarie Campbell. This woman is customer service personified. Everyone knows the ice cream is great, but it is stellar people like this who keep customers coming back.“

“Excelente sabor !! Muy ricas“

“They are the #1 for me . I had a problem with my order to come to me cross country it was all apart the topping right off the Toffee. I sent an email and finally after a month Claudia replied called me on phone plus email . I spoke with Claudia and she made things right by me and was very apologetic. She sent me my whole order and a gift of their chocolate almond toffee popcorn . With that said I want to say the toffee was amazing everything was put together with nothing coming off . I want to say thank you so much . I’m one happy customer ❤️ They back up their product which is a plus . Once again Thankyou so much Claudia .“

“I love this location! My daughter's and I visited last week and purchased 3 snicker doodle cookies. Mylaunie and Tonya were extremely helpful and efficient. They're literally always smiling, which is a good thing for the business. I'll be back soon!“

“Amazing ice cream and delicious sorbet! So happy to have this in our neighborhood. Julie had mango and watermelon sorbet. I had blueberry cheesecake. The flavors were incredible. Update: We visited again a week later. This place is amazing. Great staff! Excellent music. The place is clean and has bright lit interiors and it’s fun for the entire family. We rode our bikes over one night around 8 PM. The ice cream was even better than we remembered. This is likely to become a weekly stop for us. So glad to have this business in our neighborhood. We are so lucky! I visited again for a third time. Outstanding! Don’t miss this place. Go! Go! Go!“

“Has great ice cream—rich, creamy, and exactly what you expect from Handel’s. Portions are generous and the customer service is decent. The only downside is that this location doesn’t offer samples, even though other Handel’s locations do, which makes choosing flavors harder. Still a solid spot and worth stopping by“

“Absolutley Yeahhhhh. Great breakfast. Friendly people“

“We were looking for a sweet treat, did a quick search, and ended up here—and we’re so glad we did. The menu is simple and focused entirely on raspados, and they truly specialize in them. The flavors were delicious, and the texture of the ice was perfect—every bite was packed with flavor.

The owners were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and efficient, which made the experience even better. If you’re in the area and craving something refreshing, this spot is definitely worth a visit.“

“Fun place, the employee was great, as we went right before closing time. He didn’t rush us at all and was very nice! The yogurt was great and they had a lot of toppings.“

“Riquísimas tortas de pierna biónico Elote en baso“

“Best chocolate ice cream I have ever had!!“

“Stopped at Shields today. We had breakfast, followed by a walk around the gardens. So many trees had fruit on them, just going to waste. Signs all over saying "don't pick the fruit." Instead of letting the fruit rot on the trees, why not pick the fruit to sell or even donate to a food pantry? I was saddened seeing all the fruit going to waste.“

“I went here for my birthday and it was amazing! I got to pick anything I wanted to put in my ice cream and it was free because I was a member. There ingredients are excellent and they have many options to choose from. I will definitely come back often. I brought my grandmother here and she thought there ice cream was excellent and it is her favorite now.“

“I’ve been coming here for a while now, and it’s definitely my go-to water store! The staff is always so friendly, welcoming, and helpful, which makes every visit a great experience. They have great prices on their water, plus a really good selection of snacks and ice cream. It’s also super convenient since it’s close by. Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!“

“todo lo que venden es riquísimo preparado por mi camarada Don Juan 🖤🤘“

“A Friendly Place With Good Customer Service and everything made fresh 💯👌😋“

“I love their rsspados. Yummy.😋😋😋😋“

“Great ice cream place me and my family really like it thanks“

“My husband and I tried shake shack for the first time ever, and it was amazing!! The food was so good and fresh. John was amazing as well. He helped us order, answered all our questions, and he made us feel so welcomed. John brought our food to our table, asked us if we needed anything, and in between customers he would walk the floor and check on everyone. He was very sweet.“

“This ice cream parlor is so cute! Looks like a 70's diner and the interior colors are so pretty. I got a vanilla with peanuts and they added whipped cream and a cherry to my order. It tastes so good! A super sweet delight in the hot weather. I will be coming back tomorrow! Lol prices r also good“

“It has been a minute since I've been to the Renaissance Esmeralda here in Indian Wells. I'm not a big fan of the colossal golf/spa/resort complex of which this is a good example, but Goldenvoice puts people here for Coachella and Stage Coach so I've stayed here a couple times. This lobby espresso bar is new from last time, a welcome addition because I also got a room service breakfast from here (50) and it was capital P pathetic, so just send someone down here and get a coffee and whatever from this place and save yourself 40 dollars.Also this is one of those locations where leaving to go to Starbucks is a major production so having something serviceable in the lobby is great.“

“Love this place and would eat daily if ice cream had the calories of salad. But sadly it is not. Took the family out tonight and was as great as always. My wife had cheesecake with graham crackers, I had the blueberry muffin (oh my god) in a waffle dish, while my daughter had a waffle cone with Oreo cream. Love having this place in our neighborhood.“

“Yummy and delicious!! They hook it up with whatever you order!! My daughter's enjoyed the escamocha, fruit salad in English! I had the volcan, which is hot cheetos, corn, nacho cheese, parietal cheese, absolutely deliciousness! We also grabbed a banana milkshake!!! So yummy! We will be back!“

“The staff are always nice specially Maria Isabel was so patient with us, she gave us suggestions too amd she even asked if i wanted my straberries cut love it most employees would of been lazy but she wasnt. Ice Cream is delicious there“

“Very polite customer service“

“Online ordering the best. Always ready for pickup. No matter how busy employees are always nice and friendly“

“Great place, great people that really care. They had the best pretzel twist I have ever had!“
