This brusters location has been around for as long as i can remember and it never disappoints! I love coming here with the kids and grabbing an ice cream! They have a variety of flavors and toppings! You never have to wait too long in line service is very quick!

Small Ice Cream Cup - Oreo

Hubs and I have been craving ice cream because our freezer has been broken - go figure. It's also been pretty chilly so we were not anticipating a crowd. Needless to say we were the only ones there so we were in and out in no time. There are walk up counters to place your order/pay and plenty of seating with large umbrellas. It was night time so we opted to eat in our car. Hubs went with a small cup (two scoops) of Oreo ice cream ($4.16). I am told it was perfectly creamy and loaded with Oreos. I called ahead to ask about the vegan ice cream flavors available and was given a long list. Unfortunately, however, I realized only one flavor was actually vegan ice cream - the rest were sorbets which I do not particularly care for. So I did not end up ordering anything. If you do not need dairy free, there are tons of flavors to choose from. Definitely give them a try.

I have been coming to Bruster's for years and always enjoy the creaminess of their ice creams. My go to is definitely the white turtle (vanilla with caramel and nut pieces) and a waffle cone. Yummy!

Would you pay $6.01 for one scoop of ice cream and a dash of sprinkles? Honestly. Pricing is outrageous.

As usual, this Bruster's has awesome ice cream, much like the other locations. I think the staff here are the friendliest that I've encountered - no bad attitudes with this bunch. This location is a bit in the middle of no where so it gets packed - be prepared to wait a few minutes in line.

So disappointed! We have been coming to Bruster's for over 20 years. While we understand covid challenges and all, this is just unacceptable. $25 for 5 single scoops of ice cream that don't even come close to filling a cup is highway robbery. Really can say we won't be back.

I took my son here the other day to celebrate summer. I hadn't been here yet, but kept driving by. With Jeni's Splendid at Avalon that everyone raves about (and is very good), I put off trying Bruster's for awhile. But after a day of swimming followed by burgers, Bruster's just seemed like the right choice that day. We were not disappointed. Classic flavors, tasty and generous portions. My son had chocolate in a dish and I had Ming chocolate chip in a waffle cone. I think this will now be our go-to ice cream joint for the summer.

Located in downtown Alpharetta kale me crazy is a great place to stop in for a wrap, açaí bowl,…read moreCold pressed juice, toast, or salad! The parking situation can be a little challenging. There is a parking deck located in the plaza but it has very limited spots and was full on a Tuesday afternoon. If you're lucky you can get a parallel spot- if not you must park across the street in a parking deck. I tried the vegan wrap and it had lots of yummy vegetables and a tahini sauce. I ordered an extra tahini sauce and it was 1$ for that. I also tried the beet juice and really enjoyed it! All in all it was 20+ dollars for the wrap and a cold pressed juice. They have seating inside and outside as well. Good spot for healthy food with vegetarian options!

She asked for hot sauce and they gave her sriracha, which she kept adding trying to mask the taste. She asked me to try a bite and it was so bad I couldn't even swallow it. Then we noticed the sriracha bottle was expired. We told the employee at the counter and she checked the back and said the bottle back there was expired too. When my friend asked for a refund, an older man who seemed like the manager or owner came out and the first thing he said was, "Nothing is wrong with the wrap, it's fine." It was dismissive and rude. Instead of asking what the issue was, he immediately brushed us off. He did eventually give the refund. About an hour later my friend got food poisoning, and later that night I started feeling sick too (I only had a bite). Between the expired condiments, the questionable taste of the wrap itself, and the way the situation was handled, it was a really disappointing experience.

There is a community sense here that I love and the staff is always super friendly. We usually get bowls, but they also offer smoothies, juices and cold brew. My go-to is the Power Bowl. The Acai is always at the perfect texture, not too hard or soft, and the peanut butter makes the bowl in my opinion. There is plenty of space to eat there, including a few tables outside, and I have also gotten it to-go and enjoyed later. The taste is the same and I feel great after eating a bowl from here!

I typically go for their Green or Dolce smoothie, and I always add vanilla protein, but their new "protein cloud" menu caught my eye and I decided to try the stunning Tidal Wave Smoothie featuring their playa coconut blend, banana, pineapple, vanilla protein, blue spirulina, coconut milk, and coco whip. It was absolutely delicious and a nice change from my usual order! The best part? It has 31g of protein in it! I will definitely order this again before this special menu disappears. There is a decent amount of seating indoors and the decor is so fun and tropical that you can't help but feel a little lighter leaving there! Staff has always been super lovely and attentive.

What an absolutely precious place!…read more I've had afternoon tea at other houses in the Atlanta area and I believe this is my favorite one so far! I love all the unique decor and atmosphere. The servers are all fantastic. The small bites and teas were all delicious. We came here for a girlfriend's birthday and had the best time. There is a two hour limit, but otherwise everything was great. Parking is via a private parking lot.

She called three times and left messages with no response until a few days before leaving a nasty message that if she didn't pay they were going to cancel the reservation. We got there and as usual it was super cute inside. The people that worked there were all friendly and nice. I was really looking forward to the tea. I forget the name but it's there most popular according to their menu. In 2021 it was a dark red and delicious!! This time it was a medium pink. It tasted very watered down. The sandwiches-smoked salmon with cream cheese on bread. I wonder how many people actually eat that? We tossed it. The pimento cheese was good but served on a nutty brown bread-not the bread for pimento cheese. The curried chicken salad, not good at all. We didn't eat it. The egg salad had zero flavor. It was like plain eggs and mayo. Not even a tad a salt. The same with the cucumber sandwiches. Zero flavor. It just tasted like cream cheese. The lemon curd and jam for the scones was delicious. The scone, fairly average at best. The desserts, we didn't eat them. I'm very sad I'm leaving this review. I wonder if the owner is different or if they are having financial troubles and cutting costs. My niece wanted to take me there as a thank you for helping her and I steered her away due to the price and experience not being in line. Just a side note, I overheard someone that walked in ask if they could be seated as they had been calling for several days and no one would call them back. Seems to be a theme. I hope they get heir act together because sooner or later people will stop showing up.

When you want something good, something refreshing, and something healthy, don't do the usual "grab…read moreand go" salad. Go to Smoothie King and get a really delicious 20 oz or 32 oz smoothie. Having been a long time Smoothie King fan (Dunwoody location) , I was very glad to see one opening in Alpharetta. Smoothie King mixes nutrients and protein with real fruits to create some really awesome blends. Their menu provides options for people who are focusing on weight loss/maintenance, or wellness, or overall fitness and you can add additional nutrients/supplements to any of the choices. if you've never been to a Smoothie King before, plan on spending several minutes looking over the menu of options...also plan on having a difficult time deciding. Note: my favorite is Angel Food but if you like tropical fruits, the Island Impact and the MangoFest are excellent choices. The Alpharetta location is a little oddly shaped - long and narrow - once you enter, you walk to the back to look at the menu and place your order, and you pick up your order nearer the front door. They have a couple of small tables and chairs for customers but the store isn't designed for dining in. As with other Smoothie Kings, this store offers a small selection of snacks (protein bars, fruit/nut blends, etc.), along with bottled drinks as well as their signature smoothies. The Alpharetta Smoothie King is located on the corner of Old Milton and Northpoint Parkway and is only accessible if you're headed west on Old Milton or north on Northpoint. Two thumbs up for this location, as we were greeted and assisted as soon as we entered, They took our order, prepared our smoothies and we were on our way within minutes.

Various spots have plenty of seating, some have limited seating. --Service/Staff-- The staff was friendly and was trying to get my order in and out. I don't go that often. So it took a while to get what I wanted. --Food/Products-- The blueberry heaven is where it's at. I can see them making it fresh in front of me. Maybe I really like blueberry, but I recommend this flavor drink. The blueberry is not overwhelming and was quite delicious. --Overall-- Recommended for your smoothie fix, remember every spot is different. Some Smoothie King knock it out of the park, but some depending on the staff, I don't recommend coming back to.
