Lee Hoffman: Salted caramel is amazing
LogoTV: The salted caramel and graham cracker are both to do for, but I would recommend giving all 16 handles a pull! - Tyler French, Hunting Season
Jan Jekielek: More than any other frozen yogurt place, 16 Handles has very flavorful flavors! If you're into yogurt try the salted Carmel. You're into sorbet, try the mango. It's unbelievable!

Corley Stone: Cronuts of all ways, shapes, and sizes. Salted caramel chocolate was amazing, and a hot chocolate on the side really sealed the "treat yoself" vibe
Elena D.: The best DONUTS I’ve ever eaten!! Donut Pub 10 - Dunkin donuts 1 😅
Serious Eats: Try the honey dip--it's good even late at night.

Sara R: Decoration is extremely nice and cosy, service was amazing, food is okay though.

Ece: Such an exotic place to dine or just for cocktails. Great music and social environment, too. Highly recommended.
Thrillist: We wouldn't normally start with dessert, but this can't wait. It's strawberry/orange blossom creme topped with honey-milk powder and cotton candy. It's beautiful...and it's topped with cotton candy. Read more.
Octane: Wear your big boy shoes; 9 out of 10 girls here are over 6 ft tall.
