Bruster's Real Ice Cream

Absolutely delighted with my experience at this charming ice cream shop! The delightful array of flavors made choosing a real treat. The staff's friendliness and the shop's ambiance created the perfect backdrop for savoring their scrumptious ice cream. Each scoop was a taste bud adventure—I'm already planning my next visit!

A refreshing addition to the south riding food scene. Great favors with a smiling staff adds a cherry on top. Ideal for a quick grab or just a relaxing experience with your loved ones.

Is this yet another highly acclaimed all-american ice cream chain set to lead the retail ice cream consumer sector? Time will tell.

The standout feature Bruster's seems to bring are new and interesting ice cream flavors like Kaju Draksh and Horchata .... utterly fantastic. New flavors seem to be different depending on the location and a whole heck more interesting than the typical fusion of diabetes-inducing suger-on-sweet hodge-podge of flavors like chocolate+cookie, peanut butter+butterflinger, and cotton candy explosion(!?!). The typical menu fair features cones, cup, shakes or sundaes as the usual vehicles for delivery from seller to your mouth.

Both Kaju Draksh and Horchata tasted new and fresh .... but also cloyingly sweet after licking down half a scoop. Let's not kid ourselves, ice cream in America can be less sweet to allow actual flavors to shine. I hope Bruster's brings more interesting flavors to the menu in the future to keep things fresh --- and flavors with less deliberately added sugars. Feels like Bruster's is bringing the Americana home-town flavors to you, which is great. And if Bruster's wants to see me visit these home town flavors as a repeat customer, I hope the number of new, fresh, and interesting flavors (like lychee, logan, sweet cream, durian, mangosteen, red bean, purple potatoe, hōjicha) will grace Bruster's menu one day.

Newly opened place close to Harris teeter. The packaging is awesome and the ice cream tastes great. There can be a long line (5 minutes) due to kids and adults wanting to have the first bites of the newly opened location. Worth it.
