For two decades, Handel’s Ice Cream has been the western Main Line’s unofficial town square, where neighbors become friends and outdoor lines are braved – even in January.

In 2020, flush with success, Handel’s went mobile, peddling its prized homemade scoops in a retro-cool ice cream truck to community gatherings in Berwyn and beyond.

This year, an even bigger step: an expansion to Delco.

Handel’s Ice Cream could easily have made its 20th anniversary celebration all about Handel’s.
