    Turtle sundae
    Joseph M.

    Delicious ice cream with plenty of flavors and topping options. You can walk up and order or go through the drive-in for convenience! They don't have an inside but they do offer an outdoor seating space equipped with misters. Fun fact, they are dog friendly and offer pup treats for our furry friends!

    What a cute place to grab a sweet treat! Moving from California, I've never heard of Bruster's before. Seeing it one time while driving by, I definitely wanted to try it. I love how there's a drive thru, it makes it much more convenient when you have kids or dogs in the car. We got the medium sundae to share, and I think this was a cheaper alternative than getting two separate cones (it was about $8). We got birthday cake, cookie dough, and strawberry matcha. It was tough to choose the flavors when they have such a large array of choices. The flavor was great, and we even got a waffle bowl to enjoy with it. Highly recommend if you're looking for quick dessert!

    I'd seen such great reviews for Brusters everywhere that I had to give it a try. Alas, my experience wasn't anything outstanding. I've had better ice creams in the area. They have tons of options and sundaes to choose from, which is great. And I love that their ice cream cones, come with a holder which is very thoughtful. However, the ice cream was way too sweet for me. There's only outdoor seating plus a drive through as well, so no ambience as such. The people who helped us were really sweet. So great service. However I didn't like my chocolate ice cream as much!

    My daughter and I love coming here lately. They have lots of flavors to choose from and a drive through which makes it easy! They do have outside seating if you are brave enough to sit out during the summer! lol

    We had Bruster's back in PA where they started and were so excited to try one out here. It was great as usual. The chocolate was delicious. I tried the mixed berries cheesecake with graham which was also delicious.

    Next time I'm bringing my pup!!! They have a really cute outdoor patio area with tables and chairs and a few branches on the other side so it's really spacious for families or enjoying with your pup. The staff is super friendly and they let you sample the flavors. If you download their app you earn points and discounts. I'm a chocolate fanatic and this was delish!! Next time I'm going to try the banana split!!

    3.5 stars... Chose the banana split... southern banana pudding, salted caramel, and pb butterfinger. All were good, pb butterfinger was my fav due to the crunch. Price is a bit high, but good!

    A hidden gem! My friends and I came here on a whim Sunday…read moreafternoon and it wasn't very busy. This location of Novel is a walk up window, down a narrow outdoor corridor/alley(?)... there were some benches and a seating area on the sidewalk just outside this area.

The…read morearea is a nice place to walk around and we got lucky and found a parking spot right in front. The store is located down a hallway and has lots of seating outside. We ordered the Dough Melt with Biscoff and the Leslie Knope with Butter Pecan. The donut was good but would have been better if it was warm. We are used to Afters who puts their donut in a press to warm it. The Biscoff ice cream was like a vanilla with cookie mixed in. I was expecting a more Biscoff forward flavor. The Leslie Knope had a 7 minute wait because they had to make the waffle. I liked that the waffle was warm but it got hard and cold quickly with the ice cream. It wasn't fluffy at all and I think by waiting I was expecting a fresh waffle, but it seemed to be more of a frozen waffle placed in a toaster. It was also more difficult the eat the waffle sandwich vs the donut sandwich. We ended up biting the waffle and using a spoon for the ice cream. The butter pecan ice cream had good flavor but was nothing special. Definitely recommend the Dough Melt over the Leslie Knope, and the Butter Pecan over the Biscoff. An additonal star because the service was friendly and she offered to answer questions as we were indecisive since it was our first time there. However, we probably won't be back as there are many ice cream options closer to us in Gilbert that have better quality ice cream that is creamier and smoother, and more variety of flavors.

They were offering free milkshakes to the first 100 participants and we were lucky enough to score one of those gifts! We decided to just take one and share it and decided on the Frozen Hot Chocolate, which is made with Blue Bell chocolate ice cream, hot cocoa mix, chocolate sauce, marshmallow fluff and a "kosher" marshmallow. I'm just not a big sugar fiend so I found the shake to be extremely sweet and gooey...wife loved it! I didn't try the marshmallow but she said it was good and she could tell it was homemade. We decided we would try the store in Gilbert at some point this summer to see what other goodies they offer. Overall, a good treat and thank you for the free goodie! Sorry, there was so much going on at the moment, I didn't take a photo of the actual milkshake!

    Scoop, scoop, hooray! I'm the 400th review for this business on Yelp…read more Since trying Handel's at previous Yelp events, I've had on my radar to try at one of their locations. Especially since my boyfriend loves ice cream. Today we made a lunch date when he was visiting town, complete with ice cream to cool us down on this warm July day in Arizona. We opted to eat in my car with air conditioning, though they have bench seating outside. In cooler months, I'm sure that seating is nice to sit at to enjoy your treat. What We Ordered: - Monkey Business scoop in a dipped waffle bowl: My boyfriend throughly enjoyed and said it was very banana forward; which is a plus for him. I personally hate banana, so he had something for once that I didn't take a girlfriend bite out of. - S'mores scoop in a dipped waffle bowl: Very interesting to have the base be graham cracker, but I really enjoyed. Love the little chocolate bits to add a crunch as you eat, though the mini marshmallows have a weird texture to me. Still a solid scoop, and I'll try other flavors when we return. Definitely looking forward to the location opening on Signal Butte, but glad we didn't wait until that opened to try. Delicious and I'm sure I'll visit the new location opening by my house.

    We've been to several Handel's locations over the years, and unfortunately, this was by far our…read moreleast favorite. First, the location itself is very small and cramped inside, and there isn't any outdoor seating, which made it difficult to enjoy our ice cream. The biggest disappointment here was the customer service. My friend ordered a milkshake for her two toddlers to share and politely asked if the extra half could be poured into a second cup. The employee had to ask the manager, who immediately said no. My friend explained that other Handel's locations have happily done this before, and even offered to pay for the extra cup. The manager still refused and told her she'd have to purchase two separate milkshakes instead. The request wasn't for extra product--just a second cup for two small children to share. What made the experience worse was the manager's attitude. She came across as rude and dismissive rather than trying to help find a reasonable solution. We understand that every location has its own policies, but customer service goes a long way. Unfortunately, between the cramped space and the poor experience with the manager, we won't be returning to this location.
