16 Handles
16 Handles is a self-serve frozen yogurt chain known for its rotating selection of soft serve flavors including several vegan options made from oat and coconut bases. The atmosphere is simple and casual with limited indoor and outdoor seating, focusing primarily on quick dessert stops. Reviews note that while vegan soft serve flavors are available and appreciated by some, the texture can be watery and the overall creaminess and flavor intensity are often seen as average rather than rich.
