Frequently asked questions about 16 Handles
16 Handles Brooklyn Reviews
4 stars because they have vegan options at all. Not 5 stars because they have 4 spots for vegan options, but over 3 visits they only had 4 options once and they had no vegan options one time. The toppings also have good vegan options and gluten free options. The new Oat chocolate cherry flavor is Amazing. But, the only handles that were not serving were the vegan ones. My wife’s favorite was the vegan birthday cake. Neither of us can do dairy for two different reasons. We always want to come here first though. I can say that the people are always great. Great service and help. We LOVE the ice cream when we get it. We are sad when vegan options are either not there or limited to fruit flavors.
I came in here with a couple of my friends and staff was so nice and helpful. We asked for some recommendations and they were more than helpful to guide us. This was really a fun experience, putting your own flavors and your own topping. Definitely will be back
Delicious frozen yogurt! There’s even a dairy free option (sorbet always, they had plant based mint chocolate for a little bit too!) I’m so excited about the Oatly collaboration this summer BUT I’m always annoyed that those flavors always come out partially melted. I’ve gone 3 different times, and it’s always runny. Anyway! if you’re trying to be a little healthier, there is some great sorbet and tart yogurt, along with nuts and fresh cut fruit. If you’re an absolute monster like me and love toppings galore and chocolate on everything, there’s also plenty to choose from. They’ve also taken care to practice some food safety by having individual containers for some toppings and removing sample cups, AND social distancing between customers. Very nice job, 16 Handles team! I highly recommend if you want a frozen treat to come by here!
I had a really great experience here. The biggest highlights to me were oat milk flavors, vegan options, and lots of healthy toppings. It was also a friend’s birthday and a large group of us all fit comfortably here eating froyo and hanging out. The coconut oat milk flavor was SO GOOD. There’s a ton of toppings to choose from too. Definitely a great place to catch up with friends and have a tasty treat.
A grand haven for out-of-this-world treats, delicious flavors of Fro-Yo. The best I have tasted in a long time, it's got the right ambience for family outing, friendly hangouts or even a lovers treat and its located in a strategic part of Brooklyn. One visit will be an utter injustice to my palate.
Pretty good because you can pick out your own toppings and ice cream. The only thing I suggest is they should have kids size cups that vary from small to large.
Great frozen yogurt with 16 soft serve flavors and any toppings you can possibly imagine. Almost everything is kosher! Only downside is the price is defined by the weight of the ice cream. My coffee soft serve small bowl with rainbow sprinkles wasn't exactly worth $7+tax, but it's a very nice kosher frozen yogurt bar. They have oat milk frozen yogurt, gluten free options and all the fruit, chocolate and candies you can possibly put on top. Very cute place.
The froyo was tasty and they had great flavor options. However, the store has a strange, bad smell.
I absolutely love fro-yo and wish that there were more self-serve froyo spots in NYC. This spot in Williamsburg offers you that experience and it was so fun to go with friends one night! The interior was spacious but because we went later in the evening, most of the seats were put up, so we had to eat our froyo standing. They have a variety of flavors and you can sample as many as you want. I ended up getting their original tart with fruit and some other toppings. The price was pretty reasonable. Nothing crazy, but it was a fun spot to check out!
This place has been deteriorating over the last year. It's become disgustingly dirty inside. And it's just overpriced.
Absolutely disgusting. Old frozen yogurt is dripping down the machines, trash is scattered all throughout the seating area, toppings bar never wiped down, seats are all scratched up and ripped. Staff is either on their phones behind the counter, sitting down, or both. Would absolutely avoid this location.
As others have said- soooooo gross inside. It would take such minimal effort to clean up. Wipe the trays below the dispensers, clean the walls and floors, replace the hand sanitizer (both were empty), and just general cleanliness things. Worker was chillin behind the counter on his phone which I wouldn’t care at all about if the place was clean but ickkk so gross
the workers did not respect my time, took a long time, plain rude. I also saw them make two teenage girls wait after 1 pm while they were supposed to be opened.
This place does a poor job at making sure toppings are separate and allergens are contained, obviously there’s always a chance but I had vanilla and rainbow sprinkles and I broke out with a peanut allergy. Never coming back
