Handel's, Redondo Beach CA

Founded in 1945, Handel's offers homemade recipes that are made fresh daily using original methods and recipes. Cones, pints and quart sizes, sundaes, hurricanes, shakes, and handle pops are offered with over 45 different flavor options. Visit on a Tuesday for $2.50 ice cream, but be ready for a line!

Manhattan Beach Creamery, Manhattan Beach CA

Located right on the Manhattan Beach Pier, the Manhattan Beach Creamery is a staple summer spot for all sweet treats. Choose between homemade fresh ice cream, ice cream sandwiches, sticky bun sundaes, frozen bananas, banana splits, milkshakes, or even acai bowl options.
