Homemade ice cream shop at 8861 Villa La Jolla Dr in La Jolla, 92037, carrying on a tradition that started in Ohio in 1945. Handel's is known for making ice cream in small batches using time-tested recipes, resulting in a denser, creamier product than most commercial scoops. The rotating flavor selection mixes beloved classics with seasonal and limited-edition offerings — cones, cups, sundaes, and milkshakes all made to order. Open daily 11am–11pm, it's one of the few dessert spots in La Jolla open late enough to be a proper post-dinner destination. Whether you're after a single scoop of something simple or a loaded sundae to share, Handel's delivers consistent quality that has kept the brand going for eight decades.
