Handel's Homemade Ice Cream

Handel's Homemade Ice Cream makes its ice cream fresh at each store, with a menu that runs from hand-dipped cones and waffle bowls to sundaes, milkshakes and banana splits. Hurricanes are a specialty, built on vanilla with mix-ins such as OREO cookie pieces, Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Snickers. The pint case holds more than 100 flavors of ice cream, sherbets and ices.

Pints and quarts can be reserved by calling ahead to skip the line, and orders can also be placed online. Gift cards are sold, and the company offers catering and fundraising. The Eugene shop is on Pearl Street, and Handel's operates as a franchised chain with locations in several states, with stores making ice cream fresh since 1945.
