Despite all the great city options, if you’re a true ice cream aficionado you owe it to yourself to make your way out to Berwyn for this old standby serving homemade ice cream since 1945. National Geographic named it the best ice cream on the planet in 2018, and with flavors including “Spouse Like a House” (made with vanilla ice cream and peanut butter pretzels), it’s no mystery why.
Handel's is located at 573 E. Lancaster Ave. in Berwyn.
