22 Best Ice Cream Shops near Canal Fulton

“Fantastic service with a great attitude. The store was well stocked with ice cream cakes and was nice and clean. My only complaint was when I opened my boxed chicken strip meal I was greeted by almost nugget sized “strips”. Despite the small portion I would still go back. The young staff was excellent. They smiled and were kind to my 6 year old son.

Kid-friendliness: They smiled and listened to my son tell them the reason we were buying a cake. Great staff.“

“Parking: 1284 Wooster Rd. Barberton , 0H44203
Parking is always available so far!

Kid-friendliness: They have always been amazing to my girlie who's 4 years especially when they are letting her take control of her of placing her own order so definitely very very patient and nice to her. I've been going there for awhile, ever since a little girl!

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes only one floor so very easy!“

“The way they treat their customers is by far unmatched. My grandmother lived around the corner from here, my mom grew up here. It was a hot summer day in 2019 and I decided to take my daughter here. In highschool I became allergic to milk, so my options were two sorbets. Every time I took my daughter here I would ask if they had non-dairy ice cream already knowing the answer. The next season I was extremely shocked that they started serving non-dairy ice cream and the strawberry banana is by far my favorite.“

“Been coming here with my family for 40 years..best ice cream around, hugh portions. �“

“Handles is handles, I’ve always been happy with it. Tastes great and doesn’t take too long to get (just depends on time of day/year).

Parking: Lots of parking but you may have to park close if it’s too full.. only happened to me once before in the summer“

“I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but Handel’s Ice Cream actually saved my life—and it’s all thanks to one guy: Kyle Ross. This isn’t just a review of ice cream; it’s a review of an experience, a series of miracles, and the heroic generosity of the guy scooping it.

It was one of the lowest points of my life when I walked into Handel’s that day. I was craving comfort in the form of a scoop of mint chip, but financially, I was barely hanging on. Honestly, I almost didn’t walk in at all—I didn’t think I could afford it. But I’d been beaten down enough lately, so I figured I deserved a little taste of happiness, even if I couldn’t justify the few dollars for a scoop.

When I got to the counter, I saw him: Kyle Ross. Tall, broad shoulders, and a smile that could melt ice cream from across the room. I told him my order, but as I reached into my pocket to count my change, I realized I was embarrassingly short. Kyle, without even a second’s hesitation, waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry about it. This one’s on me.”

That would’ve been enough, right? Just that small act of kindness. But Kyle saw something in my face—a weariness I probably couldn’t hide—and he asked, “You doing alright?” Before I knew it, I found myself telling him about my struggles, my recent job loss, and how I was barely scraping by. I didn’t expect any sympathy; I just needed to vent. But Kyle listened. And when I finished, he handed me my ice cream and, without missing a beat, said, “You need anything else? Any way I can help?”

That was the moment I realized Kyle was more than just an ice cream scooper. He was one of those rare, genuinely good-hearted people you only read about. When he found out I didn’t have a way to get to a job interview later that week, he didn’t hesitate. “You can borrow my car,” he said with a grin, as if lending out his car to a near-stranger was the most normal thing in the world. I honestly thought he was joking, but he just handed me his keys—a spotless, sleek car that was a step up from any ride I’d ever owned.

And it didn’t end there. Over the next couple of weeks, whenever I came by Handel’s, Kyle was there, checking up on me, making sure I was okay, and occasionally slipping me a little money to help me get by. It was never anything flashy—just small gestures that made all the difference, from covering my ice cream to spotting me some gas money. He even gave me a heads-up on a job opening he’d heard about through a friend, and that connection eventually led to my new job.

Looking back, it feels surreal. How many times have you met someone working a counter who actually cares, who actually takes the time to see beyond the surface? Kyle Ross didn’t just serve ice cream; he served hope. If anyone deserves praise, it’s him. I’m still not sure if it was fate that led me to Handel’s that day, but I’ll tell you this: if you ever get the chance to go, and you see Kyle behind the counter, count yourself lucky. You’re about to meet one of the best people you’ll ever encounter—and maybe get the best scoop of your life, too, how ever good was a 4, it was a little cold.“

“Staff is always friendly. Great local business.“

“Love the ice cream choices. The banana split twister is awesome!“

“My chocoholic cone is always delicious. Only wished there were more seating available at times. Usually, we stay in the car because there is not enough seating for 3 -4 of us to sit together

Parking: Free parking surrounding store. Located in a mini outdoor mall.

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly seating and atmosphere. It's an ice cream shop with a Starbucks next door, so it's a pretty chill vibe, and drivers are cautious and never speeding (as I've seen so far)

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes. Plenty“

“I was just here and they were super crazy insanely busy. I waited near a half hour at least. I started to wait outside and then pulled into a parking space to go inside. These poor workers were running around like crazy. I noticed the manager washing her hands between EVERY SINGLE CUSTOMER ORDER. She is the sweetest every time I visit. food was excellent as always. Thanks guys, for everything you do!“
