Bruster’s Icecream & Yogurt

Today was beautiful and sunny. A perfect day for ice cream. We stopped into Bruster’s for the first time. It. Was. Magical.
I had a small cone of chocolate ice cream. No frills, no toppings. It was glorious! The best chocolate ice cream I’ve ever had in my life!
My husband had one that was chocolate ice cream with peanut butter chunks, Reese’s cups and bits of salted caramel. He loved it at first but was put off by the size of the mixed in toppings.
One small cone and one medium come came out to about $ 9. A bit pricy but worth it in my opinion.

Love their flavors! Good service, they’re busy but quick.

The original Bruster’s Icecream & Yogurt’s! — Yes, there are two locations in the Beach. Frozen yogurt and ice cream. Flavors that you can’t imagine and homemade waffle cones. Once you have ice cream at Bruster’s Icecream & Yogurt you will be hooked. On warm evenings, be prepared to line up outside, but it is worth the wait! There is limited seating inside and a bench outside, but grab your ice cream and go for a walk on the boardwalk.

We were skeptical to try a chain ice cream spot, but boy did Bruster’s prove us wrong. The portions are absolutely huge, they always accept BOGO coupons (found online or ask for a booklet in store), and the outdoor seating options are awesome. Perfect to bring your pets, kids, and friends. We love the black raspberry chocolate chip, butter pecan, and homemade waffle cones.

Apparently I am very much behind the times because I JUST DISCOVERED BRUSTERS!
I don’t care if it’s a chain and that it’s old news– it’s amazing! The ice cream here is thick, extra creamy and they are never scant on the scoopage!
A single scoop cone is plenty for one person, and a double scoop cone is really and truly a chore.
The flavors range from the usuals (chocolate, vanilla, strawberry) to the popular, but less usual (cookies n’ cream, butter pecan) to the specialties (sea salt caramel, raspberry dark chocolate, etc.) — so there is something for everybody.
And the people are so sweet! The young woman working when we visited last week smiled the whole time, despite the ever-​growing line.
Similar to other little ice cream windows around the city, there is no indoor seating, but plenty of benches and a few picnic tables in the shade.
BONUS: they have their own, decent-​sized parking lot.

I managed to get strep throat…
1. when I have no tonsils
2. as an adult
3. in the summer.
Lemme tell you… that is a trifecta of terrible.
I was miserable. I’m some kind of freak who doesn’t keep ice cream on hand like ever, and I hadn’t eaten thanks to how much my throat hurt so I knew what I had to do… Bruster’s.
Prior to this I hadn’t been to one of their spots in ages. I’ve always liked their ice cream. It’s just impossible to pick a flavor.
Luckily when it’s summer there’s enough other people who want ice cream that you will hopefully have made a choice when you’re up to the front.
I decided to go with a shake, of course, and got the raspberry truffle whatever their proper name for it is. This is the best. The chocolate shavings in it was probably not a good idea for how I felt, but thankfully most of them can’t make it through the straw — this is probably a better ice cream for straight up eating but it’s too good to care.
They do a lot of different daily specials ranging from discounts on pints to go to bring your own bananas for a discount on a banana split. It was really hard not to take them up on the pint deal that night.
The only downfall is that because I really needed food inside my stomach, I wish I was asked if I wanted a regular or large shake because I would have (against better judgement) been all up in a large. But that’s okay.

Got Two freezes! One blue Pop and one lemon! The blue pop was sweet and tart as usual and this was my first time trying the lemon. The lemon was different it almost tasted like it was vanilla flavored. When your order a freeze you can choose from the sorbet flavors or the frozen icy ones. The flavors change daily but they usually have my favorite blue pop! I believe how the make the freezes is
They take the sorbet (3 scoops) and add sprite. After adding the sprite they mix it until it becomes the desired consistency. Which is like a frozen drink. A slushy is what it’s most compared to. They blusters employees are also very nice and helpful and never had a problem. I would recommend this brusters to anyone in the area looking to get a nice treat to finish off their dinner or even lunch!

I’m not big into buying ice cream, but when you have a high quality product at a good price, it’s worth it. Bruster’s has a daily discount deal, with Thursday’s 50% off a banana split when you BYOB (bring your own banana) probably being best deal of them all. To top it off, the staff at Bruster’s is incredibly friendly and will let you try as many flavors as you want! Huzzah!

Went to Bruster’s thinking I was getting an average waffle cone for $ 5. Ended up walking away with a massive three generous scoops in a waffle cone. It was so big I needed an extra cup.
I really like the new flavor they have added since my last Bruster’s experience. I look forward to going there again.

So much nostalgia coming back to Emory territory. This used to be THE ice cream spot on the weekends (at least for me).
It’s an outdoor store, as most Bruster’s are, where you place your order and eat your ice cream in the elements, rain or shine. We sat at the picnic tables in the back, although benches were readily available closer to the ice cream.
I ordered a small sea salt caramel with toffee on a sugar cone. And since I was gifted a $ 1 off coupon, it was a steal!
Since it was warmer outside, it started melting quickly. I wish there were small water spout somewhere to wash sticky hands.
A great night cap to a relaxing evening!

If you haven’t had Bruster’s, you need to go… today. Put down whatever it is you’re doing (except reading this review), and make your way over there. They just have the most creative flavors, and portions are massive, which is always a good thing. A size small gets you two large scoops. Treat yourself and get a waffle cone!
When you first get there: ask if they have Graham Central Station. If they have it, try it! You won’t regret it. Graham ice cream with graham cracker swirl and chocolate flakes. Need I say more? On the sad days when they don’t have that, I have to «settle» for other flavors, but in all honestly, I haven’t tried one that I dislike it. In fact, I love them all.
I’m particularly a big fan of: Sea Salt Caramel with Toffee, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, and Mint Chocolate Chip. I’ve had many others, but these were the most memorable ones so to date. I believe they change up what flavors are available on a regular basis, so be sure to pay attention to their menu board once you get there to find any fun, new flavors! Enjoy!

This is in our neighborhood, so we stop by frequently, especially in the warmer months. The ice cream is always very good and usually the service is, too. Tonight we had a server who must have been new (or just very spacey). She totally jumbled up both our orders, which was a little disappointing.

My best friend is obsessed with this place. Like when I say obsessed, I really mean it. She would eat here every day if she could (i.e. if her health would allow it). So naturally, we had to go the minute I came to visit her in Atlanta. We came for dessert at 9:45pm… closes at 10pm. It was crowded — there were 4 big groups and everyone was getting their fix of massive amounts of ice cream. I mean MASSIVE.
Ice cream: I uploaded a picture of a small cone that my friend got which was sea salt caramel. I sampled a few of their featured flavors and the ice cream is incredibly rich in its flavor. So think heavy cream and a sugar overload. I don’t know if I could eat this small sized cone… I asked for a smaller portion so they gave me 2 miniature scoops of the fudge ripple and coffee on their no sugar added list and there were surprisingly pretty good. Obviously not rich and filling like the normal flavors, but it satisfied by dessert fix. You’re thinking. why no sugar added at an ice cream shop? I gave it a try, and was actually really surprised! So if you’re looking for a lighter option, there’s always a few flavors on the no-​sugar/​no-​fat list and sherbet.
Service: They cater to whatever size you want for the ice cream — you just have to be really specific if you don’t want huge servings of ice cream. The staff is friendly and allows you to sample as many flavors as you want without wiping the smile off of their face. even 15 minutes before their closing time.
Location: Brusters is like a food stand. There are a few benches for outdoor seating.
Banana Thursdays: You can bring in a banana and get your ice cream ½ off. Definitely recommend this option because that sounds like a memorable banana split to me.

Server was adolescent and rude. I mean, I get they’re high school kids, but that does not excuse rowdy and rude attitude. Pity because ice cream is all right for Atl standards.

Despite living a mile from this place for the past 7 years, it was just this past summer that we starting trying it. There is no shortage of flavors and if you bring a banana on Thursdays you get a half off Banana split thingy. Bonus — they have dog sundaes! Our pooch loves them on a hot summer night.

Bravo!!! I’m a fan instantly. My BFF told me abt this ice cream place. I bought the salted caramel ice cream. It was fantastic I can really taste the salt and caramel at the same time. Nxt one I bought key lime pie ice cream– truly on point alos. It has the tartness and some graham crackers around the big scoop. It tasted so amazing. This is so much 10x better than jenis’s ice cream!!!
Now can u franchise in Philly???

How does this place not have more recent reviews? Definitely a new fan of Bruster’s. Went there around 9 pm on a Friday and there were lots of customers (but the line went fast). You basically order at the window and then have a seat at one of their benches. Lots of different flavors to choose from. I ordered the chocolate raspberry truffle which was delicious. It might have been a little softer and smoother than I was expecting, but it was still good. I chose the waffle cone with 2 scoops (the cheapest option) and it was most certainly PLENTY of ice cream for me. The other Unilocalers weren’t lying when they said portions are generous.
Looking forward to going back and maybe trying their Banana Thursday deal (bring your own banana and get half off on a banana split).

Great quality ice cream with lots of flavors and ice cream dessert options to choose from (sundaes, waffle cones, banana splits, cakes, pies, you name it!) Portions are GINORMOUS so be prepared for the brain freeze and major sugar rush! To make it even sweeter, Thursdays at Bruster’s are Banana Thursdays — bring your own banana and get ½ off on a banana split (which makes it $ 2.50)! And if you forget to bring a banana, there’s a supermarket in the same plaza. Hah! You get three flavors and three toppings. I went with two friends and we went all out — chocolate and caramel on top of more chocolate and caramel. Too. much. sugar… X_​_​_​X

When a friend suggested to go to Bruster’s ice cream and frozen yoghurt place to pick up some dessert I actually thought quietly «Not another low quality». While waiting for my friend to get ready to order I checked the list of ice cream and was pleasantly surprised… until I thought «meh, why not try this chocolate rasperry truffle» while I am waiting. and BOOOM. I loved it! It was smooth and creamy and full of flavor! I took a pint with 2 different flavors and I loved it. And for the price of $ 4.25 per pint you can’t do anything wrong.

I love love love this Brusters. The ice cream is ah-​mazing, and they have plenty of benches and picnic tables to sit outside and eat your treat. This Brusters is always bustling which makes for great people watching.
If you join the Brusters rewards club you can get emailed monthly coupons that are normally really good (and yes I have no shame in being a Brusters rewards member). They also have specials determined by the day of the week — how awesome is that?!
Their birthday cake ice cream is definitely my favorite. It comes with swirls if icing in it, need I say more? Their ice cream cakes are also top notch!
