Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream is an ice cream shop in Jefferson Plaza along Highway 111 in La Quinta. Visitors can choose from ice cream, ices, and non-dairy sorbets, then enjoy made-by-hand batches prepared on the premises.

Made By Hand Here

Handel’s traces its recipes to Alice Handel, who first sold homemade ice cream from garden fruit and personal recipes. The La Quinta shop continues that tradition by making batches by hand on the premises, using many of the founder’s original methods. That production approach makes this a useful stop for visitors interested in the craft behind each scoop.

Choices Beyond Ice Cream

Alongside its ice cream, the menu includes ices and non-dairy sorbets for guests avoiding dairy. Available flavors have included Black Raspberry Chunk with chocolate truffles, Blue Monster with OREO and CHIPS AHOY cookies, and Coconut Pineapple. The range gives a group several directions to explore, from fruit-forward choices to cookie-based flavors.

A Treat for Gatherings

The shop accepts catering requests for events and supports community fundraisers, extending the La Quinta location beyond an individual dessert stop. Handel’s has grown to more than 150 locations across fifteen states while keeping its in-store production tradition, giving this local shop a connection to a wider family of stores.

Pause here after a Highway 111 errand or while exploring La Quinta, especially when your group wants a made-on-premises frozen treat with several menu options.
