Loved the ice cream from Handel’s at the Hillcrest location! We ordered the chocolate pecan, salted caramel truffle, and chocolate chunk flavors and really liked them all. Very friendly and quick service. Nearby benches if you want to eat while you’re there. Recommend!

Highly recommend! I was pleasantly surprised with how much I enjoyed my experience here. I’m normally very picky with my ice cream but there was not a single flavor that disappointed.
