    Cheesecake
    Amelea J.

    I've been to other locations and for some reason this menu is smaller. The cheesecake is different. It's not actual cheesecake bites, it's just the crust in vanilla ice cream - I wasn't impressed. The service is always great and kind. This is my first time at this location and we had to order inside and then everyone eats outside lol.

    Banana pudding and vanilla milkshake
    Monique P.

    I absolutely love this Bruster's located in the Bowie Town Center. The staff are AMAZING! Peering through the order window, I could see how clean the interior space was. Their ice cream is made in house and tastes soooooo good! We ordered two milkshakes. I will speak on the banana pudding and vanilla milkshake. It was delicious. Being greedy I ordered the bigger size and I could only finish half!

    Free ice cream if your shorter than 40inches
    Jerelyne T.

    I came here to see what the hype was about and truly enjoyed every bit of ice cream. It was my first time here and the service was great. They were patient with me including my impatient toddler lol. I was able to enjoy my banana split. I wasn't found of the frozen fruit on top though. Next time I'll just say to keep those off. The spot is pretty easy to spot. However, during bad weather and the cold season you have to go indoors through the Sardis. It's a pretty popular spot so plan accordingly.

    Brookie, Gooey Butter Cake, Chocolate Cake Batter, Caramel Coconut Cookie
    Olivia B.

    I ordered the Gooey Butter Cake and the Brookie. They were both so good! The Brookie was a good balance of bitter (from the chocolate ice cream and chocolate chips) and sweet with the brownie. I loved the cake pieces in the Gooey Butter Cake. They're my favorite flavors so far! My friend ordered the Chocolate Cake Batter and the Caramel Coconut Cookie. She mentioned that the chocolate cake batter was very good; she didn't like the caramel coconut cookie, she said the coconut was too strong for her liking.

    Red velvet ice cream

    Ice cream is soo good. I got the Nondairy cookies and cream and man oh man it's so yummy. Def will be back. Other pic is Red Velvet 7 out of 10. This location is in Bowie Town Center. Service was fast and friendly. Ordered at walk up window.

    Nice hot and humid day.... I scream, you scream ... we all scream for ice cream! This is a walk up window ; where you order and pay and they call your name when it's ready. There are a couple benches and tables to sit and eat at. I ordered a waffle cone with butter pecan ice cream. They definitely didn't skimp on the pecans. Pecans galore in my ice cream. . Hahaha more pecans than ice cream actually and I was okay with that. Usually places skimp on the pecans and only give you the cream. My other half ordered mango sorbet.... Light and refreshing and hit the spot. Nice treat on a hot day! Parking is shared with other restaurants and stores nearby ; on the plus side it's free at least.

    I updated menu pictures 10/2024. Like Dairy Queen. Will be back! It was very yummy. I had a regular Sundae

    Scoops on scoops on scoops! Perfect for hot summer days. The Graham Central Station was so good with added brownie bites. The ice cream was so soft and the consistency was on point. If you don't try the speciality flavors or the flavors of the week, they offer the traditional chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, and cookies and cream. You can order your scoops in a waffle cone or cup (either one is good) If you want to enjoy your ice cream before you get in your car to go home or finish shopping, you can sit in the sitting area and soak up the sun

    German chocolate and regular chocolate
    Nille P.

    This was my first time visiting this spot and it won't be my last. I had a sample of the German chocolate and it was tasty. It seemed to be chocolate ice cream with chocolate syrup and coconut shavings. The ice cream was good and tasted fresh. The young lady at the window was very pleasant. I ordered 2 scoops for $3.75. Gonna come back and bring the family.

    Old Style Banana Pudding
    Brian B.

    They make the ice cream daily...okay....but is it good? The simple answer is yes it's worth every bite. I'd go back again and again and try something new on the menu. Good menu with options for everybody from ice cream to Italian Ice, and Sorbet and more.

    Received coupons in the mail.. Yayyyyyy!!!! - Just got them today in the mail Able to use them the same day... Yayyyyyy!!! -Even though it was set to start August 1st, he said we could use them today There's a heatwave going on in the area, so this will cool me off... Yayyyyyy!!!! -I was SOOOOO ready for some coolness in my mouth; help reduce my temperature please Shaky/ungood order taking... Arghhhh!!!! -I ordered 3 items, 5 mins into my wait, the young lady returned to the window to ask me to repeat the order for 1 of the 3; actually it was only 2 items because unbeknownst to me, the 3rd item was unavailable Not the best customer service... Arghhhh!!! -While she only charged me for the 2 items I received; she bothered NOT to tell me the 3rd item ordered was unavailable. I was allowed to believe the whole order would be filled. I was unaware the 3rd item was unavailable & was only informed when I asked for the missing item. She informed me they didn't have the item, that the poster was just an advertisement Good followup from the gentleman... Yayyyyyy!!! -Upon request, the gentleman in the window provided lids for my to-go order and asked if there was anything more I needed or that he could do. I said No and went on my way; I was already spent. One person in my party didn't receive her order, so not cool. The coconut-pineapple sorbet was delightful... Yayyyyy!!!! -Yes it was tasty, I could ACTUALLY taste REAL COCONUT shavings, hello, WINNING... and the fact that it was NON-DAIRY, WOOOOHOOOO. Next time, I'll try some toppings... I DO plan to re-visit and I look forward to greater things.

    VIP Special, featuring cheesecake ice cream, pound cake, caramel drizzle and whipped cream.
    Mel J.

    Ooh LaLa! The best experience ever! I stopped in just a bit after closing, and the owner's son was so accommodating. The ice cream is dreamy; the pound cake is deliciously wonderful. Y'all, flood this place with all your coins! They do not disappoint.

    Takes a long time to get the ice cream but large portions that aren't like the others 10/10 would recommend must go during the summer

    I was so lucky to find this place! I needed a last minute donut tower for my daughters birthday…read moreparty and the dessert junkie made it happen! After trying to get ideas on their website, Alexis reached out to me directly and sent me sample pictures of the tower design. She was so friendly and extremely helpful. She definitely left my mind at ease with her warm personality. Not only was the donut tower GORGEOUS but it was also delicious. The flavors I chose were the strawberry crunch, banana pudding, fruity pebbles and the Oreo. These were all delicious! All my guest and I were very impressed with everything. I am so thankful to Alexis and her team! I will recommend this place to everyone I know for every occasion, even just a sweet tooth. And ofcourse I will be going back :)

    Saturday 1/10/26…read more I've been eying this dessert spot for a while, and today I made it happen. I ended up getting the apple pie cinnamon roll $11.95, biscoff banana pudding $9.95, and the MEGA cookies n cream shake (sub for a chocolate chip muffin) $28.95. - Service was solid and helpful. - Although the apple pie cinnamon roll $12 price tag is a bit much, I still was able to enjoy it. The toppings were nice, especially the cream cheese, but the dough was underwhelming as it was a bit dry and slightly firmer than I usually prefer. - The Biscoff banana pudding was the main pick the staff member recommended, so despite not being the biggest banana pudding guy, I had to try it. Unfortunately, it wasn't anything impressive, but it was cool. Also, the biscuit taste was more so in the background. - The shake was pretty good, but not $29 worth by any means. The cupcake that I got with it LOOKED GREAT, but I can't say the same for the taste, as it was just alright. The Oreo donut was solid. All in all, I'm not really crazy or impressed by any of the items and definitely wouldn't spend that amount of money again (especially on the $29 shake), but I enjoyed the experience. -- #issa.cheatday
