In the summer heat of 1945, Alice Handel created the sweetest of legacies in Youngstown, Ohio. Using fresh fruit from her backyard garden and her own personal recipes, Alice lovingly made ice cream that quickly became a neighborhood favorite. Handel’s, and a commitment to quality, was born.

To this day, Handel’s upholds the traditions Alice started all those years ago. From making each batch by hand, on premise to using many of her original methods, we’re still sharing our homemade ice cream and serving the communities we love so much one scoop at a time.

Each batch of ice cream is made on site in our store daily, using the highest quality of ingredients. We are known for great portions and friendly service. We are happy to get to know you and be a part of your celebrations or everyday interactions.
