Over 7 years ago my wife and I bought ice creams here for the first time when it was called Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream. Our ice creams tasted very good but little did we know they contained high fructose corn syrup . . . a cheap sweetener used by many big food & beverage companies. One day we met Ken the co-owner who told us he did not like the Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream franchise system and was going to sever his ties with them. And he told us the new name would be Cali Cream Homemade Ice Cream and there would be no high fructose corn syrup in his ice cream. And Ken did exactly what he said. Ever since whenever we are in the neighborhood this is where we buy our ice creams. BECAUSE IT’S THE BEST !
On Friday after a fabulous lunch at CHIKO across the road we walked down here for delicious ice creams. We have been enjoying ice creams from Cali Cream for many years for a number of reasons . . . really great tastin’ ice cream, loads of fun flavors, fantastic service, no high fructose corn syrup ( cheap sweetener that Handel’s and Baskin-Robbins use ) and super cool owners Ken & Juliana.
It was around 2.30pm when we arrived with our 2 young grand daughters. Things were dead quiet when we walked in but crazy busy when left. A friendly cashier / server named Canon looked after us perfectly . . . helping our wide eyed girls with their selections. My wife asked for Graham Central Station ( her fav ), I selected Mango Watermelon, our youngest wanted Bubblegum and our older grand daughter picked out Twix. Everyone totally loved their beyond delicious ice creams. Before we left I caught up with Juliana the co-owner with her husband Ken. I had to thank her for their super kind gesture a few years ago when our sweet daughter had major surgery. ICE CREAM WITH A HEART !
