16 Handles

This froyo place is so good. The froyo is super smooth and actually tastes amazing—not icy or fake-sweet. Tons of topping options and everything looks fresh, so it’s really hard not to overdo it (in the best way). The staff are nice and the place just has a good, easy vibe. Perfect spot for a quick treat or hanging out with friends. Definitely coming back

Amazing experience at 16 handles! Super friendly and helpful staff, incredible flavors, and everything tasted fresh. The toppings were elite — a huge selection and top-quality. Easily one of my favorite spots. Definitely coming back. Best froyo in town!

Super happy to have a new dessert option in the neighborhood. So many froyo flavors! So many toppings! The staff is really nice and the place is clean and welcoming. Will definitely be back.

Delicious ice cream lots of flavors to choose from and toppings. I especially love the watermelon sorbet. And it’s really clean. And there’s no other place where you get to choose your own froyo. And there’s really good vegan options! Because some people are vegan.

I was wowed by the opening of this (very welcome in the neighborhood) 16 Handles and then I was doubly wowed they would allow a dog with open sores to march around the space. I briefly forgot if I was in an animal hospital or a froyo shop but at the end of the day I had only one conclusion: disgusting. You should visit if you want to see entitled Brooklyn people parading their dogs around. Avoid if you like hygiene and food safety.

Finally a 16 Handles in the area!! The place is super clean, the toppings are always fresh, and the staff is actually friendly. They always have fun seasonal flavors and the classics. Perfect treat spot! Never disappoints!

I've been to a few 16 handles but this one is definitely one of my favorites! Great flavors, great staff and the managers are very friendly and polite! Great place for a dessert or just A daytime snack. I will absolutely be returning here!

It is currently 9:34 pm. Signs outside the store door AND the online hours state that the store closes at 10, and yet when i just walked past, the door was locked, and it was just employees inside filling their own cups with yogurt. I enjoy the options here and the yogurt is great, but I really do not like the inconsistency in publicized hours. Disappointed.

This place is the talk of the town (despite being a neighborhood in New York City, Carroll Gardens often feels like a small town). I feel like everyone I know in the 'hood is excited about 16 Handles triumphant return to Carroll Gardens; if we aren't seeing people we know there, or on the way there, we're hearing them talk about it. I must've missed the boat when frozen yogurt swept NYC over a decade ago, because I didn't see what the big deal was. There were Red Mangoes, Pinkberries, and 16 Handles everywhere, and I was more interested in [my debaucherous 20s habits redacted]. It seems like they cannibalized each other, because they all disappeared. But now, having gone into this fine establishment with my wife, and seen the excitement that pouring your own frozen yogurt into a cup and topping it with whatever you want can elicit...I'm starting to get it. There's just an endless number of combinations you can make, and you get to assemble it yourself. Even better, they have these little dividers so you can have up to three different sections in your cup to make your own magic. I'm a classic vanilla + toppings kind of guy, but my wife gets to go wild trying everything under the sun (and then admitting that the classic vanilla is the best). It's nice to be able to do it yourself, with as much as you want, and whatever toppings you want. I can't even begin to imagine how often I'm going to have to go here once my kids get wind of it.

16 Handles has had a warm welcome to the neighborhood; and even creating some competition with Court Pastry next door. Luckily, this meant my fiance could get his Italian ice while I got some frozen yogurt ice cream. Froyo spots were so popular in the early 2000's, so it a bit nostalgic and fun to see. They offer 16 flavors including swirls that change every month on the 16th. Since the price is by weight, it's nice to get as much or as little as you like. There are also a huge variety of toppings including some Italian favorites like a rainbow cookie. It seems they really catered to the Italian roots of Cobble Hill. It's nice to see a new dessert spot in the neighborhood that's a bit fun and different.

After a notable absence in Carroll Gardens due to its closure years ago, 16 Handles has made a comeback and found a new home on Court Street. Yesterday was their grand opening and the sundae prices ( by weight of cup) was discounted. 16 Handles is fun--you make your own sundae (or waffle cone) and can sample the flavors before deciding on your flavor. Heck, you can even create and mix flavors. Zero Sugar Strawberry and Watermelon Sorbet were delicious. The place is a bit smallish. Most of the fun is selecting among the many toppings from their bar---coconut and sprinkles to fruit and chocolate. And many more. The heavier your sundae is, the more you pay. You can certainly get your sweet tooth fix here. Ironically, 16 Handles is adjacent to Court St. Pastry, home of Italian pastries, cookies and Italian ices. Welcome to Court Street, 16 Handles.

So excited the compile-your-own froyo trend is back in action. BuUuUuUuUut is it back and better than ever? No. I wish 1) there was a modern facelift, it looks stuck in the past. 2) there was higher quality frozen yogurt. Super satisfied with the topping options, not so satisfied with the tastiness of the yogurt. Maybe that's the way it always was, but fifteen years later I would've hoped there'd be a flavor update too. This all makes me want to head to the new place in soho, which truly does seem to be a modern take on the trend.

16 Handles is finally back! We drove past the day of their grand opening, but didn't stop for anything because the line was insane. There was a line of mostly kids going down the block. Since their opening, we've been there three times (my kids love ice cream / frozen yogurt). The frozen yogurt is so good, especially the oat milk vanilla and chocolate. My go to is chocolate with strawberries and milk chocolate drizzle! The place is spotless and everyone is super friendly. The staff says hello the moment you walk in with a smile, and they let you know samples are offered if you want to try anything. The best part is that they're affordable!

Welcome to the neighborhood! We have all been waiting patiently for your opening! Great Choices of yogurt and icecream! Many toppings as well. All set up for self serve so it's a very fun experience for the kids as well. Today was their first day and they had a big crowd and lots of people. Best of luck!

There were ants in the frozen yogurt machines and it was so disgusting and dirty. I'm never coming back here again, very disappointed. I came to this location multiple times and last time I was there, the manager was smoking cigarettes outside and there were KIDS inside the store watching from the window!!!!!!!!!!
