Bruster's is a great stop for some summer ice cream! It's a grab and go kind of place but they have…read moreoutdoor seating sprinkled around. I noticed they added more lawn chairs since the weathers nice! The staff is always helpful and quick at serving orders. They have a bunch of flavors to pick from and honestly it can be sort of a hit or miss. The classics are always great though like the cookies and cream or butter pecan. I got the cherry vanilla and honestly that's my bad because I thought it would be real cherries not maraschino cherries lol. The mixed berry cheesecake was so good though, it had a mixed berry jam and graham crackers swirled throughout. The pistachio was another slight miss for us. I appreciate the amount of pistachios sprinkled throughout but the base was giving amaretto/almond flavoring as opposed to a true pistachio ice cream. (I also don't like amaretto) so that doesn't help lol but overall glad I tried the flavors and now I can try different ones next time!

I'm a long time fan of Bruster's! Today I tried their strawberry matcha which is part of their…read morespring 2026 menu. It was essentially their strawberry ice cream and matcha put together. The strawberry flavor was very strong, so much so that I couldn't really taste the matcha. So it's good if you're a strawberry ice cream fan! I did like how it wasn't too sweet. David had the Caramel Brownie Batter. It is very caramel-y. The brownie bits are very much ooey gooey batter-like rather than solid brownie chunks. I do think the single scoop is a bit overpriced ($5.20 something) which was only $.70 cents less than David's double scoop.

They switch out some flavors based on holidays or months. This month (may) is aapi month so they have a lot of delicious Asian inspired ice cream flavors. My favorite is mango sticky rice, Thai ice tea and black sesame crumb cake. Some of the past flavors I like was orange chocolate chip, Bethesda brown brickle (always on the menu), salt & cream oatmeal cookie, bourdon walnut pie, and earl grey speculoos. Yeah like I said I've been here a lottttt!

Sarah offers plenty of flavors, but none of them truly stood out…read more I was stunned upon entering as the wall was covered with every flavor imaginable. There were endless fruity and chocolate combinations to choose from. I had a chuckle at their Luck O' The Irish flavor, a leprechaun inspired mix of mint Oreo and Lucky Charms. There was a sign stating that samples were limited to two, but I appreciated that the employees let us try a few extra given the overwhelming variety. *Lavender Honey: leaned far more heavily into honey than lavender. I was disappointed by how faint the floral notes were. The base was overly milky and dominated by sweetness rather than any delicate herbal flavor. *Cherry Blossom: suffered from the same issue of muted flavors. Supposedly a rose water and cherry combination, neither ingredient made much of an impression on the base. The rose lacked any fragrance and the cherry failed to provide either tartness or brightness. *Salted Caramel: slightly too aggressive with the sea salt, though it could have worked if the caramel had more depth. Instead, the caramel lacked any rich, toasted flavor, leaving the overall profile rather flat. The variety was entertaining, but the execution fell short. Many of the flavors sounded far more exciting than they actually tasted. The mix-ins and toppings needed to be incorporated more generously, and the bases themselves required stronger infusions to carry the advertised flavors. In the end, the playful names were more memorable than the ice cream itself.
