“Thank you for sponsoring northwest youth baseball and softball! Can’t wait to enjoy some ice cream after the games this season!“

“By far the best place in canal Fulton ! Absolutely love the employees, they're all very friendly and accommodating“

“Absolutely the best from Lake Erie to the Ohio River, and we've tried almost all of them in between! DURBIN gets the 1st place award. Nothing better, more reasonably priced or more consistent. The ever changing flavores for soft serve far exceed any other place. The hand scooped...well, they too are better than anywhere else. The toppings are high quality, and you can't leave without a jar of the hot fudge...it's is unbelievable! All in all, this is the best place for any ice-cream treat. 5 stars all the time.“

“I stopped in for a Buckey Brookie, and it was AMAZING❤️. First of all, it weighed about 2 pounds. And delicious??? Beyond delicious. If you are ever over that way, I HIGHLY suggest stopping in for an unforgettable treat!“

“I am a little late; but it has been a busy February! We just rented the upper part of dolce for my husband’s surprise party. All the staff and event people were so nice. Plus this is my husband’s favorite place to go to in town! Thank you dolce for making it so special and everyone had amazing time.“

“Been around forever and still great. Ice cream is so good“

“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.“

“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“
