You don’t have Handel’s on here!!!! Handel’s is really the best! There is one in Powell and one in Hilliard that I know of. I know, I know, so far away… But really! Worth the travel! Try the Chocolate Oreo or Peanutbutter Parfait, or really any flavor.

Handels is great and is on my Ice Cream Ohio website. Columbus has the best ice cream options and Handels is one of those.
