Hey ice cream lovers! If you're anywhere near Stevenson Ranch, you HAVE to check out Hendel's Ice Cream. Seriously, this place is the real deal. I've been working my way through their flavor menu, and let me tell you, there are some winners. But "Monkey Business"... oh my goodness, it's the absolute BEST! Think bananas, caramel, and pure deliciousness. I love to add some nuts on top.
And don't even get me started on the generous scoops! You definitely get your money's worth. Plus, the staff is super friendly and helpful. They do free samples too! We found this gem thanks to a recommendation from my daughter's classmate, and I'm so glad we did. You won't be disappointed!

Almost like Frosty himself dumps his loads here. Ice cream is good although pretty expensive. The outdoor (and only) seating area is disgusting though. Tables are full of ice cream residue, napkins everywhere, concrete is disgusting with ice cream everywhere. This place truly should be clean, especially with no inside customer areas to maintain. All it would take is a pressure washing several times a week. For that reason alone we will not be coming back unless things change. Take a look at the pictures and see for yourself.

I went to Handel's homemade ice cream on Father's Day. Great friendly service and quality desserts. They were fully staffed for a busy special day. My ice cream today was Chocolate Madness in a waffle cup. Next time, I'll get the handmade waffle cone dipped in chocolate with nuts. Yum!!!..... They are a family owned and operated business in Santa Clarita Valley. Great place for all ages. So good and large portions.

Handles Ice Cream is a fantastic spot! We ordered the 4 scoop sampler, and it was well worth it—more like 4 full scoops of delicious ice cream. They have tons of flavors, and my favorites were Banana Cream Pie and Cinnamon Roll. We also tried Brownie Batter and Strawberry Cheesecake Chunk, which were good but not as amazing as the other two.
We got there just in time and only had to wait 5-7 minutes to order. After we ordered, the line was huge, but it was definitely worth the wait. Another plus is they don’t ask for a tip on the screen. They have a tip jar if you want to leave a few bucks, but there's no pressure to leave a digital tip.
There are plenty of areas to grab a seat—benches, tables, the amphitheater, or even on the grass. It’s great for a date night or treating the kiddos, and it's pet-friendly too. Overall, a wonderful experience!

LITERALLY THE BEST ICE CREAM I HAVE EVER HAD!!!
The service is awesome! Everyone is so nice and respectful. The owners are super sweet!
I'm away at college, but every time I come home I swear I'm single-handedly funding this business. Totally worth it.
Be prepared for big portions! Personally, I get a pint so I can have a little now and a little later, and that works for me to make it last (and then I don't feel guilty for eating so much ice cream in one sitting because I'm not).
Highly recommend!
