Bruster’s Ice Cream

The ice cream is really good! Lots of interesting flavors — and you can sign up for email alerts when they make your favorite. The portion sizes are pretty big. The store is very clean.
The only reason it’s not 5 stars is for customer service. One word… SLOW. They have kids working the windows and the line just crawls. Not so bad if it’s a nice evening, but when ice cream freaks (me) line up in thunder storms, hot weather, and in the winter in the freezing cold for a fix, it’s annoying.

Worth driving an extra 20 minutes for! Fabulous ice cream, rich, full of flavor. The variety of flavors is exceptional. Only down side is no seating. Pull up a curb or sit in your vehicle either way your mouth will be very happy!

So I was here the other day to pick up an order and I had to wait outside in the pouring rain for 10 minutes until somebody would help me. I was the only customer yet she couldn’t put down the phone. So here I am again a few nights later waiting in line to get chocolate ice cream for my son. Incredibly slow service again. This will be our last time at Brusters.

Favorite ice cream. I love it. Certainly better than Ben & Jerry and Häagen-​Dazs. I always get a sundae.

Brusters is my all time favorite restaurant. The ice cream is very cream and I love the variety of flavors. They give generous portions sizes and their ice cream and waffle cones are made fresh daily. I just wish there was seating so you could sit down and enjoy the ice cream.
Don’t go at the end of the night because they may be out of your favorite flavor!

Overpriced ice cream that really isn’t all that good. Not to mention the extremely slow service.

Meh. Undistinguished ice cream. A number of flavors doesn’t translate to quality ice cream, and the two times we’ve tried Bruster’s only brought disappointment. Our experience was that the ice cream was more ice than cream. Sorry to be so negative. It’s not a chain so I’m more inclined to want to give them a good review but …

3 stars and NOT because of the ice cream, because of the slowness. Its a bunch of young high school /​college kids who have no desire to move fast or care people are waiting 10 – 15 minutes when their is NO line. Ice cream is great, service needs work. Hire an adult to supervise please.

A tradition in the Delaware/​PA area, I’ve never had a bad flavor and the variety is incredible (which can be both good and bad if the flavor you want isn’t there). It’s all homemade and it’s so very very east coast/​mid-​west. Have to try it.

I have a friend who lives within walking distance of Bruster’s and, truth be told, I’ve been known to show up for dinner asking, «I can take the kids to Bruster’s when we’re done eating, right?» Of course, their little faces light up.
A delightful ice cream stand best describes this place. They make their own ice cream daily and offer a plethora of flavors including seasonal faves like pumpkin and peppermint. They offer all the usual suspects in toppings and sundaes.
They also make ice cream cakes, which was present at the 8^th birthday party of my favorite little miss. Oreo ice-​cream with chocolate cake, which was beautifully decorated. The 8 year old was very pleased.
Get the Graham Central Station. You won’t be sorry.

Bruster’s is more like an ice cream stand. You place your order outside through a window. The ice cream is a bit pricey but that’s probably because everything is made fresh daily. I tried the Mint Chocolate Chip which had a soft, creamy, rich texture. One scoop runs about 2.65. They have a large variety of flavors and also serve other items like smoothies, cakes and pies.

The ice cream is really good but the service is really slow. So the net result in an ok experience.
