Handels Homemade Ice Cream Rancho Cordova

I’m extremely disappointed with this location of Handel’s Ice Cream. There is no indoor seating, and the outdoor seating area was in terrible condition — sticky tables and cockroaches crawling everywhere. Seeing hundreds of cockroaches in and around the seating area made me question the cleanliness inside the store as well. This is a much newer store, and I had high expectations after attending their opening, but the lack of sanitization and hygiene standards completely ruined the experience for me and my family. Unfortunately, it was so bad that I ended up feeling sick after visiting. Food safety and cleanliness should be a top priority, especially for a place serving families and children. I truly hope management takes immediate action to resolve these issues.

My friend and I went to go get ice cream tonight. We stood in line for over 20min before leaving. The line did not progress at all. The same couple was at the window the whole time. The final straw that got us to leave was there was some older guy (who I assume was a manager) who was only cleaning the windows while a young girl was the only person helping the customers at the window and doing the DoorDash orders, he stood on the counter with his shoes on to clean the high windows while ignoring the 9 people in line. Very gross to put your shoes on counter top where food is served.

Great ice cream, never had this before and my husband and I we keep buying it. The people that works there they are nice. Of course they have tables outside you can not go inside there’s no way. Do I recommend here? I do, please try it.

Handels has an excellent selection of ice cream and I absolutely love that they still serve waffle.cones and bowls. They are always busy and for good reason, they serve the best ice cream in Rancho Cordova. You can even get a 4 scoop sampler! Can't wait to visit again!

Handels Homemade Ice Cream is one of the best ice cream shops I like. Its ice creams have a delicious flavor without being overly sweet. The employees at this location are lovely and attentive. However, the outdoor seating area needs improvement. It has no cover and was windy when I was there. I want to finish my ice cream and leave sooner! I wish I could enjoy my ice cream in a comfortable place.
