Bruster's Real Ice Cream

This is real yummy ice cream. They had a good selection of toppings to choose from. We tried the Sunday and it was really good. The combination of warm chocolate and peanut butter syrups made it terrific. I can't wait to come back and try their waffle cones. The smell was intoxicating

I got in line on a Sunday evening as a way to mark the end of summer, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a line of 6-8 people to place their orders and another 4-6 people waiting for their ice cream on the other side. Service at both counters was friendly and efficient given the number of customers. I waited for what seemed like five minutes or so which I thought was reasonable. Others ate their ice cream around the store, but I took my ice cream away so I could freeze one for the next day and eat the other.

The flavor selection was more diverse than what I had seen at a couple of other ice cream parlors. Not being as much a chocolate or nut fan as most, I was able to sample four more fruity flavors in two small cups for just over $10 total. The textures for all four scoops were predictably smooth throughout. The pie-flavored scoops of key lime and apple crunch had the brightest tastes for me. I liked the crunch element for the apple pie scoop, and I found the bright green color for the key lime appealing (I hope it was not artificial). The banana scoop was also quite satisfying, even if I had a deeper flavor elsewhere. The blackberry looked the part, and I would have liked a more assertive flavor to go with the purple color.

I thought getting the variety of flavors for under $3 a scoop proved to be a decent value for the area with friendly service, so I could see myself visiting in the future if I wanted a more unique ice cream flavor or two or three or four.

Great variety of flavors with rich and creamy texture. Everything is always fresh, including their great tasting waffle cones/dishes. (Time tested - I've been going to this location for over a year.)

For those looking, you can find Indian and Asian flavors.

And they offer "baby cones" for little kids!

Bruster’s Ice Cream lives up to the hype for being premium ice cream. I had Graham Central Station in a waffle cone.

Both the ice cream and cone were clearly made fresh, with the cone being soft and chewy with zero signs or hints of being stale.

Ice cream is creamy and buttery goodness.
