After a long, stressful day of schoolwork and activities, a refreshing treat is a must-have. So take a walk downtown and stop by Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream for a cool, welcoming experience.

With 48 different flavors of ice cream, Handel’s has a variety of options for everyone. They offer lactose-free alternatives, vegan options and water-based sorbets. 

Handel’s switches their flavors out at least once a month, and with about 150 ice cream flavors on the menu, you’re never out of options. 

Popular flavors include Brownie Dough and Knot Your Average Dough. Brownie Dough includes a chocolate-vanilla blend with brownie pieces and cookie dough chunks. Knot Your Average Dough has a cookie-dough base with pretzel ripples and chunks of cookie dough. 

The Belcher family, franchise owners of Handel’s in Clemson, emphasizes the University’s and the larger city’s community’s effects. 

“We love the Clemson community and our goal is to provide the most amazing service and the best ice cream in the world,” Jim Belcher, franchise owner and board member, told The Tiger in an interview. 

Being so close to the University allows Handel’s to connect more deeply and celebrate all the wins with the community. 

“It’s awesome to be one of the places that people choose to come and just celebrate life,” Belcher continued. 

You can rely on Handel’s as a reward. With a second consecutive win for Best Frozen Treat, the Belcher family continues to make improvements to better the ice cream experience.

Jordan Belcher, marketing and brand manager, emphasizes that employees work hard without expecting to win an award. 

Whether you’re celebrating a win or just enjoying a sweet treat because you deserve it, Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream will always have your back.
