Best Value Picks on the Menu
If you’re deciding what to order, here’s where Handel’s actually gives you the most for your money:
Scoop Sampler ($5.00). Easiest way to try a few flavors in one visit instead of committing to a full Hurricane or sundae.
Handel Pops ($2.50). Chocolate-dipped and on a stick, and it costs less than a plain cone with toppings.
Soft Drinks ($1.65). The cheapest thing on the menu if you’re pairing ice cream with a drink.
Banana Split ($5.75). Easily feeds two people, so it works out cheaper per person than two separate sundaes.
How Handel’s Compares
Handel’s falls in the premium, small-batch category. It’s priced close to other artisan chains like Salt & Straw, but usually a bit cheaper than boutique single-location scoop shops. The main reason it holds up on price is that every location makes its own ice cream fresh on-site each day instead of shipping frozen product in from a factory, which is how most lower-priced chains operate.
About Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream
Handel’s started in July 1945, when founder Alice Handel began selling homemade ice cream from her husband’s gas station in Youngstown, Ohio. She made her first batches with family recipes and fruit from her own garden. Alice ran that one parlor for 40 years, and on its 40th anniversary, the street it sat on was renamed “Handel’s Court.”
The brand was later bought by entrepreneur Lenny Fisher, who kept Alice’s from-scratch daily process going while building it out into a franchise. Under current CEO Jennifer Schuler, the company has kept growing and now has 175 locations across 20 states as of 2026, with recent openings in Washington, Florida, and Idaho.
Why Handel’s Is Famous?
Made fresh daily, in-house. Most chains ship frozen product in from a factory. Handel’s makes it on-site every day, which gives it a denser, smoother texture.
150+ flavors. Everything from classics like Butter Pecan to signature ones like Blue Monster and O-Dough.
Handel’s Hurricane. Their take on a mix-in treat, soft-serve blended with candy and toppings.
The walk-up window. A lot of locations still keep the original walk-up format that’s been part of the brand since 1945.
